They sure thrived, fattened and multiplied; but, a few days before Thanksgiving, he went to the City of Bard to rehearse an amateur play; upon his return he found seven feet of water on his little ranch; the main canal had bursted just opposite his house, and he, him self, was a busted community. But William was gamester; he got an other package from home, and the ranch was stocked with that bird whose gobbling saved Rome, Indian runners and bull frogs. Within six months Bill was in clover This asuatic ranch looked like ready money.

TELLS ON THE KIDNEYS
Yuma People Have Found This to Be
 True

True
 The strain of overwork tells on the weakened kidneys. The hurry and worry of business men, the heavy lift ing and stopping of workmen, the women's household cares, tend to wear, they can no longer filter the poiscc from the blood and the whole body suffers from the waste matter that ac- cumulates. Weakened kidneys need quick assistance. Doan's Kidney Pills are especially prepared for weakened kidneys; tired, worn-out backs-have proven their merit in thousands of cases. Below is convincing proof from this locality:
 J. W. Smith, blacksmith, 744 West Fillmore St., Phoenix, Ariz., says: "The heavy work in my business made my kidneys weak. My back ached and was so stiff that I could hardly bend over I had headaches and dizzy spells. The kidney secretions were unnatural Doan's Kidney Pills sure strengthened my kidneys and the pains disappeared. The five dollars worth of Doan's Kidney Pills I used were worth many hundred dollars to me. I give Doan's Kidney Pills the entire credit for curing me"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that MT. Smith had. Foster-Milburn Co. Props, Buffalo, N. Y.-Adv.

BOYS THAT HUSTLE

Many of the shrewdest bust
ness men and brightest minds of
today have graduated from the
ranks of the ordinary street
newsboys. In possibly every
city of the United States today,
are men that are looked up to
and respected, that peddled pap
ers for a living in their early
days. We could fill these pages
with the names of these men,
but it is not necessary, as right
in your home state you will find
them.
The average young man or
boy, who is petted and made a
fuss over at home never comes
to very much by the time he at
tains manhood. The man of to-
day must be a man with a will
of his own, one that can say no,
when he wants to. He must be
shrewd, alert, practical, and if
he is in commercial life, active
and aggressive. The time to
work and learn business habits,
is when young. F?
Our life today demands some
thing else than butterfly youths.
Smoking cigarettes and twisting
canes, and running around with
yellow gloves, neckties resemb-
ling a condensed circus parade
in color effects, will not secure
you a good position. You will
have to dirty your hands once in
a while, even if you wish to be
bank president.
Many railroad president and
college professor started out in
life shoveling coal in machine
shop.
1t did not hurt them. They
are still gentlemen.-Ex.

ONE CENT LETTER POSTAGE

Letter postage users of the
United States and particlarly
those who havea large volume
OF letter mail are clearly entitled
to a one cent letter rate, and a
determined fight will be made in
congress this winter to secure
it,"
j. E. Keyser, President of the
Kane & Keyser Hardware Com
pany made the above statement
last Thursday accompanying it
with the information that the
bushes men of this city are join
ing the ranks of the National
OneCent Letter Postage Asso-
citation, for the purpose of secur-
ing a one cent letter rate.
He declared that already the
association has strong andrepre-
sentative membership in every
city and town throughout the
United States, and that every
effort is to be directed toward
securing action on a one cent
letter rate at the approaching
session of congress.
"The time has arrived" he de-
clared, when officials at Wash
ington should take cognizance of
the demand made by the users
of first class letter mail for a
readjustment of rates so that
ordinary letters, which are now
being charged two cents each
shall be carried at cost, or about
one cent each.
st has been amply demon
strated by statistics and actual
investigation that one cent let
ter rate throughout the United
States will pay, and that the ex-
ira cent now being demanded
for the carriage of letter is
nothing less than tax.
"The United States post office
department was primarily or
gained for the carriage of let
tiers, and in the early days the
charges made were on a basis
of actual cost of transportation.
When the department was or
gained transportation difficult
ties were immense, and a high
rate had to be charged. Years
have passed, wonderful inven-
tons have revolutionized the

why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.

To US it looks as though the
trade of the country is so scat
tered that he town which puts
forth the most effort in that di-
rection will eventually succeed
in landing far more than her
legitimate share of business. At
present, while time hangs on the
hands of the average man, he
takes time to look around, and
then spends his money where it
will go the farthest, and to us
it seems that hte merchant who
offers him good values for his
money, viii eventually reap gold
en- rewards in the way of his flu
ture trade. This fact we would
impress upon the minds of the
people and we would also ask
them to aid US in establishing
the fact that in our town can be
found better bargains than in
any other in this section. If we
once get this faction established.
our town will soon be handling
far more trade than rightfully
belongs to her. Let us join
hands and make this so.

GOOD NIGHT.

There is a tender sweetness
about some of our common
phrases of effectionate greeting
simple unobtrusive as they are
which falls like dew upon the
heart. Good Night" the little
one lisps it as she toddles off to
bed. Sister and brother ex-
change the wish; parents and
children; friend and friend.
Familiar use has robbed it of its
significance to some of us I'VE re-
peat it automatically without
much thought.
But consider. We are voy-
ayers, putting off from time to
time upon an uneXplored sea.
Our banks of life set sail and go
onward into the darkness, and
we, asleep on our pillow, take no
such care as we do when awake
and journeying by daylight. Of
the perils of the night, whatever
they may be, we take no heed.
An unsleeping vigilance of One
stronger and wiser than we, who
is the eternal good, guards the
night.
Good and God spring from the
same root and we are the same
in meaning, Good bye is only
God be with you. Good night"
or God guard the night. 1t
would be a churlish household in
which these gentle forms Of
speech were ignored or did not
exist. Alike the happy and the
sorrowful, day by day, may say

transportation business and the
cost of carriage has been lower
ed until now it is known letters
can be carried at one cent in
stead of at two cents, which is
the present charge.
Mechanically the United
States Post Office Department
! is about the most perfect work
ing machine there is in the bust
ness world. When you consign
a letter to the post office, you
have almost definite assurance
that it will reach it's destina-
ton. On the other hand, the
methods used for determining
charges on differnt classes of
mail are antiquated and unscien-
tifc, and it seems certain that a
| general rivision of the postal
rates must be made within the
next few months.
There are many reasons why
letter users are entitled to a one
cent rate. Among them may
be mentioned:
Because the government is
making, about 100 per cent prof
it on Letter postage.
Because the department was
established primarily for the
distribution of letter mail.
Because it was never intended
that letter mail should pay a
profit.
Because one-half of our letter
postage is tax.
Because this tax is not used
for the general expenses of the
! government, but utilized as a
subsidyfor other classes of mail.
Because it is wrong to tax
one class for the benft of anoth-
4 err.
Because an equalization of
our postal rates will provide
better service.
Because we have been entitl-
ed to one cent lettr postage for
the past ten days.
"F'or the purpose of crytaliz-
ing sentiment throughout the
United States so that this re-
form can be brought about, there
has been formed the National
One Cent Letter Postage Asso-
ciation, Of which Charles. VIM.
Burrows, Cleveland, is president
and George T. Mcintosh, Cleve-
land, is secretary treasurer and
manager of the campaign. This
organization has been in exis-
tence for number Of years and
has ben steadily working for a
one cent letter rate. Substan-
tial progress has been made, and
it is hoped that definite action
lon this important matter may
be had at the approaching SEES
sion of congress.
/ Users of letter postage of
the country, who are now heavi-
ly taxed for the carriage of their
letters, should rally to the sup
port of this work, and it is my
intention to arouse interest in
the work of this association To-
cally, so that we may be proper
ly represented when the time
for action at Washington comes.

present this matter in proper
light, SO that our representatives
