A Ml11lEsVRy INQUIRY
Answered by the Statement of Mid
dlebury Resident.

When first the long series of reports
Of Mlddl-burv people who have been
relieved by Doan's Kidney Pills were
published in the local press, great en-
thusasm and interest were aroused
But Middlebury is now inquiring How
are these people keeping today? How
has the benefit they received withstood
the test of time?' For that, after all, is
the essential test of cure. On this
point doubt can no longer exist, for after
many years those who have been cured,
emphatically declare their cures to be
lasting.
w. W. Counter, 81 N. Pleasant
ST.. Middlebury, says: Nothing has
changed my high opinion of Doan's
Kidney PILE. They still have my en-
dorsement. While have had no symp-
toms of kidney trouble since Doan' S
Kidney Pills cured me nearly three
years ago, another OF the family has
since been cured. This experience has
increased my confidence in the curative
powers Of this remedy. You may con-
tinue the publication of my former
statement"

Another man remarks about the same town, that 1t IS

crowded he had to wait ten minutes at walk to get

railway conductors always said "step ively'.
After such a man has talked few minutes, you can

Shortage of Feed Corn.

A very large number of our
farmers are now at a point OF
having no corn with which to feed
their stock on during the summer.
In many instances this could have
been overcome had the farmers
held a larger part of their corn
from the low priced market. This
idea of turning corn into money
in the fall is quite big mistake.
Some of them imagine that it is
cheaper to sell the corn in the fall
at 75c barrel than to spend money
enough to save the corn in the
crib. 1t can be figured out in this
way, say on 100 barrels. Selling
100 barrels in the fall at 75c a
barrel amounts to SIS. They buy
corn in the spring at about SIPS
a barrel, total of $125.00. The
difference, or rather loss on 10C
barrels is $50 a year. Then we
ask these questions: What would
a 1OO-barrel capacity corn crit
cost? How long would it last
Would this saving amount to any.
