KEEP THE KIDNEYS WE'LL
Health is worth saving, and some
Grsrd Rapids People Know
How to Save 1t.

Many Grand Rapids people take
their life in their own hands by ne
glecting the kidneys when they know
these organs need help. Weak kid
neys are responsible for a vast a
mount of suffering and i'll health
the slightest delay is dangerous.
Use Doan's Kidney Pills-a remedy
that has helped thousand kidney
sufferers. Here is a Grand Rapids
citizens recommendation.
Mrs. L. ]. Thompson, 512, Johnson
ST. Grand Rapids, Wis, says: My
youngest boy was afflicted withweak
kidneys from birth and the kidney
secretions seemed to be beyond his
control. We had heard of Doan's
Kidney Pills and tried them. Two OF
three boxes quickly cured him and
the trouble has never returned It
is a pleasure to recommend Doan' s
Kidney Pills to all mothers who have
children bothered in that way. Do
ans Kidney Pills are great favor

to be very reliable"

BERRIES NOT ALL PICKED

There is a very large crop of halle
nuts to be found almost at every
place where the hazlenut bushes
grow.
The BURBERRY crop was quite
large, but less than one fourth of
the entire crop of Wood county was
gathered.
The mosquitoes this year have bee
unusually vicious and numerous, but
they will be nearly all gone before
the hazlenuts are ripe
The indications are that the wild
blackberry crop will be large, if it
gets a couple more showers between
now and the tenth of August.
1t is a pity that so many of those
wild fruits should go ungathered
while we have so many idle boys and
girls.

THIRD AND FOURTH TERMS
IN COUNTY OFFICES

l am glad to note the discussion
in your paper On the question, W heth-
er a public officer should be a can
didate for a third term <
Like all questions of the kind,
there are two sides 10 it.
1t is true that in general q bust
tried and efficient employees and
take on in their place untried men,
so long as their men of experience
give satisfactory service
But there are these differences be-
tween an employee in a factory or
private office and the incumbent of
public office
An employee in a factory OF pri--
yate office is under some superior
authority who can and usually will
discharge him when he is ineffict-
ent or negligent in his work or Is
not at his place during his business
hours, or puts in substitute, when
he wants to go fishing.
The public officer on the other
hand is elected for term of years,
and his removal before the end
of his term is a difficult matter.
When he gets the idea that he is
indispensable to the public-in slang
parlanoe, has mortgage on his
office which he has only to forecloss
each election" he is apt to become
slack arrive at his office late
mornings and afternoons, leave be-
fore office hours are over; 60 fish
ing or on priy ate business for days
and even weeks at a time and leave
the attention of his office TO office
help, or a deputy who. though as
competent as such help or deput-
les usually are, is not the one that
the people expect to serve them.
Another reason why change in
public office is desirable is that
the more they are passed around,
there are more persons exist who
know hoow public offices should be
conducted. The more there ara who
know how public offices sohuld be
run the better for the public: the
more likely that mistakes in the
conduct of the public business will
be discovered, or incorrect methods
will be corrected.
Neither the public nor a party in
power should permit any man or
set of men to get the idea that he
or they have a divine right to be
king, or "a deed in pertutity'
10 any public office.
II public office Is a burden to
the incumbent, don't leave that bur
den too long ON any one pair of shoul
ders. On the other hand If it Is
profitable or AN honor to hold such
office, pass that profit or honor a
round. Progressive Republican.
