It's Foolish TO Suffer
When So Many keokuk People are
Pointing the Way Out.

You may be brave enough to stand
backache or headache or dizziness.
But. If, in addition urination is disor-
dered, look out! If you don't try to
Tx your sick kidneys, you may fall
into the clutches of dangerous disease
before you know it. But, if you live
more carefully and help your kidneys
with Doan's Kidney Pills, you can
stop the pains you have and avoid
future danger as well. Don't expert
ment-use the remedy Keokuk people
are publicly endorsing. Read this

difference of opinion as to the cause
of hair falling out when it is simply

very little vital connection with the
skin. The hair follicle is like a cis-
tern, with a large, bullying interior
and small opening at the top. The
hair-bulb fits more or less perfectly
into this cistern-shaped cavity. The
Dubious end of the hair being larger
than the opening Of the hair-follicle,
holds it to its place. Everything de-
ponds upon the elasticity of the skin.
Any flabbiness Of the skin will i'm
mediately cause the narrow opening
of the hair-follicle to dilate and allow
the hair to slip out Of its place. Not
only this, lowered vital states will also
cause the hair to shrink, and the bull
bous extremity of the hair becomes
smaller, and it will slip out Of its
place. Falling hair always depends

Of Oil which causes the epidermal

Often dandruff is not associated with
falling hair, and it sometimes happens
that falling hair Is not associated
with dandruff. But when they are as

upon a devitalized condition Of the

Eat the Pineapple.

Eat the Pineapple.
The partaking Of a slice OF pine
apple after a meal is quite In accord
lance with physiological Indications
since fresh pineapple juice contains a
remarkably active digestive principle
similar to pepsin. This principle mas
been termed "bromelin." and so pow
erful is its action upon proteids that
lit will digest as much as 1000 times
Its weight within few hours. Its d.
gestive activities varies in accord
ance with the kind of proteid to which
lit is subjected. When slice OF fresh
pineapple Is placed upon a raw beef
steak the surface of the steak becomes
gradually gelatinous, owing to the
digestive action Of the onzyme OF tho
juice.
OF course, digestive agents exist
also in other fruits, but when 1t Is
considered that an average sized pine
apple will yield nearly two pints OF
Juice it will be seen that the diges-
tive action of .ne whole fruit must be
enormous, The activity Of this pecul'
lar digestive agent is destroyed in the
cooked pineapple, but unless the pine
apple is preserved by heat there is
mo reason why the timed fruit should
not retain the digestive power.
Unlike pepsin, the digestive prln'
ciple Of the pineapple will operate IN
an acid, neutral, or even alkaline
medium, according to the kind of pro
ted to which it is presented. 1t may
therefore be assumed that the pine
apple onzyme would not only aid the
work and digestion In the stomach
but would continue that action In the
intestinal tract. Pineapple, It may be
added, contains much indigestole
matter of the nature of woody fibre
but it is quite possible that the de
cidedly digestive properties of the
Juice compensate for this fact

For this purpose patients may be

ANNISTON

Anniston. July 24.z(SpeciaL)-A ordinance was introduced in the city council Thursday night by Judge Ad- disose F. MaGee, councilman from the Third ward, to increase the amount al- lowed by persons convicted in the re- corder's court, and sentenced to work out the fines and costs, from 50 cents per day to $1 per day, each days work to be credited on the fines and costs. The ordinance was continued until the next meeting of the council.
 In support of his ordinance. Judge MaGee stated that other cities allow convicts $1 per day for labor and said that the state allows more than the city of Anniston for this purpose He also said that under the present law when a convict Is fined $100 he is re- quired to work over six months in or- de. to pay off the fine. According to Judge MaGee, the fines are excessive when they have to be worked out.
