The Christmas seals should, accor-

any packages or letters that are go

be exercised in sending merchandise
through the mails not to place seals

age against inspection, and subjects
it to first class postage rate.
The seals will not take the place OF
postage stamps. They will not carry
any mail matter, but any kind Of DOM
ectic mail matter will carry them.

YOUR kidneys
Sank Centre Residents Must Lear
The Importance of Keeping
Them Well.

Perfect health means that every or
gan of the body is performing its
functions properly.
Perfect health cannot be enjoyed If
the kidneys are weak and disordered.
Thousands testify that Doans Kdi-
ney Pills have a reviving action on
weak kidneys.
What this remedy has done in so
many cases of this kind is the best
proof of its merit.
Read the following testimony CRATE
fully given by a resident of this
locality:
E. j. Burgan, Railroad conductor,
Adams street, Glenwood, Mimi, says:
"I have taken Doan's Kidney
Pills on several occasions when
having lame and aching back and
pains across my loins and when
my kidneys have not been acting
right. / have always had relief"
