WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE
 WEAK BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches and Ills of Putnam
 People

As one weak link weakens chain, so may weak kidneys weaken the whole body and hasten the final break ing-down.
 Overwork, strains, colds and other causes injure the kidneys, and gem erslly when their activity is lessened the whole body suffers.
 Aches and pains and languor and urinary ills frequently come, and there is an ever-inereasing tendency towards dropsy. gravel or fatal Bright's dis. ease. When the kidneys fail there is no real help for the sufferer except kidney help.
 Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on the kidneys. Putnam testimony Is proof of their effectiveness.
 Mrs. Samuel Martineau, Putnam, says: aFor years l suffered from kid ney trouble, the worst symptom being main in inc small of the back. 1 WIS also bothered by weakness of my kid neys. 1 noticed that the kidney seere- tions were unnatural and when l heard Doan's Kidney Pills highly rec commended l began using them. They removed the pains in my ibaek and made me feel better in every way"
 Mrs. Martineau is only one of many Putnam people who have gratefully endorsed Doans Kidney Pills. If your back aehes-if your kidneys bother you don't simply ask for kid ney remedy-ask distinctly for Doan' $ Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs. Mar tineau had-fhe remedy backed by home testimony. 50e all stores.

But. as Doogan had remarked to Nell the even. ing before. the detective had obtained only the slightest glimpse of his (Doo- gan'si face. and there was very little danger. He was more glad of it now than ever.
 Are you Cluney?" repeated the de tective.

 "Yes: my name is Cluney. Are you the detective sent forT'

 And. William. the diamond brace let?'' asked Mrs. Carr You had it in your hand at the same time. What did you do with that?"

 ''Yes. my wedding present to you. darling. Now. William. what did you do with it?''
 q don't know. don't know" was his helpless reply. "Why will I be so forgetful?"
 Perhaps he left it in his own room, mother" suggested Madge. Have you looked there?'
 Madge and her mother were about to go and look in William Carr's room when they met the minister and Caro- line coming in. The reverend gentle T T ,J Js-N,, h..1 ,,1 there was a slight acidity in his tone as he said:
 ''I'm sorry to hurry you. but I've an other wedding engagement today, and l should like this ceremony to take place without any further delay"
 ~We'l be ready in just a few mo hents, Mir. Spelain," put In Madge. We've lost diamond bracelet, and we want to find it before we do any thing else
 Mir. Spelain threw up his hands in despair and. muttering. This means another postponement, l suppose, went out to find Mrs. Carr.
 Carr and Cluney were busily looking about the room in all places they could think of, likely and unlikely. as is the custom of people when hunting for lost article The two bumped into each other in a corner.
 Suddenly Mir. Carr stood up straight and. fixing James Cluney with his eye. asked with what Cluney thought un- necessary significance:
 How long have you been in this room alone?
 Just a few minutes Why?'
 Are you sure you didn't see them?'
 James Cluney scowed, and he could not help thinking how it would delight him to take his respected father-in-law to be by a convenient part of his cloth ing and throw him out of the window. But he only said:
 Certainly haven't seen them. Don't you suppose I'd tell you if l had?'
 Well. l can swear they were in this room the last time l was here per sisted Mr. CaSr.
 "A diamond bracelet and jeweled ear trumpet are not the right things to leave lying around loose." was Clu- ney's rejoinder.

 The best sentiment of the entire Western Hemisphere ought to insure an end to certain fudal systems of Mexico, which are no longer tolerated anywhere else from Cape Horn to Hudson Bay. The masses of the rco- pie of Mexico have been compelled to fight for their very existence; they are opposed by nobody save brigrands of the Diaz type, whose influence is being lessened every day.
 The work of the mediators at Mia gara Falls ought to be quite simple. They have only to declare that Huerta and the systems he stands for must be vigorously set aside. It is high time for the procession of human pro- gress in the Americas to move for ward.-St. Louis Times.

My Daughter Learned to Cook.
 By John Tweezer.

We used to have old-fashioned things, like hominy and greens, We used to have just common soup, made out of pork and beans. But now it bouillon, consomme, and things made from book. And Pot an Fen and Julienne, since my daughters learned to cook We used to have a piece of beef-iust ordinary meat, And pickled pigs feet, spareribs, too, and other things to eat While now it's fillet and ragout, and leg of mutton praised. And macaroni and gratin, and sheep's head, Holland-aised. Escalioped a la Versailles-a la this and la that And sweetbread a la Duppoise-it's $ enough to kill cat! But while l suffer deeply, invariably look
 As if I were delighted cause my daughters learned to cook. We have a lot of salad things, with dressing mayonnaise. In place of oysters, Blue Points fricas seed a dozen ways. And orange Roley Foley, float, and peach meringue, alas Enough to wreck a stomach that is made of plated brass! The good old things have passed in silent, sad retreat We've lots of high-falutin things but nothing much to eat. And while I never say word, and always pleasant look, You bet I've had dyspepsia since my daughters learned to cook
