Kidney Troubles May Be Sapping
Your Life Away. Lakeland Peo-

When a healthy man or woman
begins to run down without apparent
cause, becomes weak, languid, de-
pressed, suffers backache, headache,
dizzy spells and urinary disorders,
weak kidneys may be the cause. The
slishtest symptom of kidney trouble
is too serious to neglect. Doan's Kid

their effectiveness in strengthening
the kidneys and keeping them we'll

EXIT JOHN BUNNY

Another object of child hero-wor-

Cinderella had been whisked from
the stage of action while trying on
her glass slipper, or Jack the Giant
Killer had discovered at a critical
moment that he was attacking
Blunderbone, I h e three-headed
giant, with a pewter sword. Tears
alone can express the sorrow of the
Juveniles in such extremity-thdy
know no other way. Tears have
been shed for John Bunny, the mer-
ry comedian of the motion picture
screen. and his passing, to the heart
of composite childhood, means to
many little boys and girls their
first bereavement. Thousands
among the millions that John Bunny
has entertained with his grimaces,
, his expansive smile, his tongue-in-
! cheek grotesquerie, feel that in his
passing they have lost a friend who
laid awake at night devising new
revels for their delectation. Had
they been told that the Walrus were
taken forever from the companion
ship of the Carpenter they would
not have felt the loss more keenly.
They would not have known whom
to pity most. themselves or the poor
Carpenter.
And not alone will the children
miss John Bunny and his merry
antics. He had a following among
the "grown-ups" which few motion
picture actors could command. One
reason for this was that Bunny was

This paper is extremely friendly
in it's attitude toward the Atlantic
Coast Line railroad-nOt for any
personal reasons, for no one con-
nected with it has ever been the re-
cipient of any favors from the rail-
road, and the business this Office re-
ceives from it would not in the
course of year pay the Telegram
postage bill for a week. Neverthe-
less, it recognizes the great force for
development this system constitutes
and admits the community of inter-
ests existing between the railroad
and the City of Lakeland. This feel
ing, coupled with the general policy
of this paper, of absolute fairness to
every individual, institution and in
terest, has always caused it to re-
frain from that pastime of railroad
batting SO popular with many news
papers. At the same time we can not
but feel that there is justification OF
the complaint made all along the
line in regard to the curtailment of
train service We could overlook the
withdrawal of the Tampa Special"
for which there was doubtless good
reasons, and which was not actually
necessary to reasonable service. But
the reinstatement of the Sanford
Short would be great convenience
to the travelling public, and we can
not but believe would be remunera-
tive to the railroad. If this matter is
brought before the railroad people
intelligently and in the right spirit,
We are hopeful this train will be
again put on. In this connection the
Sanford Herald has the following:
The Boards of Trade of the va
rious cities between Sanford and
Tampa will make IA determined eff
fort to have the Sanford-Tampa
short line train on the A c. l.. put
back on the schedule again. The
people of Florida and especially of
South Florida are beginning to think
that the railroads are operated sole
ly for the tourists in the winter time
and that the officials care but little
for the natives and the policy of the
roads are responsible for this feel
ing. No one wants the railroads to
operate trains at loss but the proof
I that these trains We're operating at
a loss has not been demonstrated to
#the public and most of us are from
Missouri. -
