ARE YOUR KIDNEYS WELL?
MANY CONWAY PEOPLE KNOW
THE IMPORTANCE OF
HEALTHY KIDNEYS.

The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day.
Well kidneys remove impurities.
Weak kidneys allow impurities tc
multiply.
No kidney i'll should be neglected
There is possible danger in delay.
If YOU have backache or urinary
troubles,
If 20 uare nervous, dizzy or worn
out,
Begin treating your kidneys at
once;
Use a proven kidney remedy.
None endorsed like Doan's Kidney
Pills.
Recommended by thousands
Proved by Conway testimony.
Mrs. w. O. Durham, S. Locust st ,
Conway, says: Zone of the family
was troubled by weak kidneys for
many years. The kidneys acted too
freely day and night and the one who
had the trouble was weak and ner-
vous and didn't have any energy. We
heard about Doan's Kidney Pills and
decided to give them a trial. They
brought benefit right away, and after
two boxes had been used the kidneys
were normal
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Durham recommended. Foster

WATCH YOUR BANK BALANCE

A case of great interest to the
banking industry of the state was On
the docket of the Tampa criminal
court some days ago. The case was
tried under the 1915 worthless check
I law, the information setting out in
detail that the defendant cashed a
check on Plant City parties withou;
having money in the bank to pay it.,
and that after having been served
make good the amount within ten
days, as prescribed by law. No con-
test was made in the hearing of the
case, the defendant pleading guilty.
The amount of the worthless check
was only So, but the drawer was
sentenced by the court to a fine of
s25 and costs, with the alternative
of sixty days in jail This matter
of drawing checks with insufficient
funds in the bank to meet them, is
altogether too common and causes no
little embarrassment at times to
business men, as we'll as to bank of
ficials
The new law under which the
above conviction was obtainej ], ,
should have a very salutary effect
upon those who have got the habit"
of drawing checks without any re-
latiOn to the amount of funds to
their credit While it is true that
ignorance of the law is not accepted
as a defense in criminal proceedings
or even as an extenuatiOn of guilt,
yet it might be we'll for the bankers
Of the State to take some polite and
inOffensive means of drawing the at
tention of their patrons to the fact
that this valuable law is in opera
ton, and that conviction has been
obtained under its provisions. An
ounce of prevention is better than
a pound of cure, and neat placard
hung within the bank office or a po-
litely phrased card enclosed with the
monthly statement might have an
excellent influence in the right direc-
tion. Hastings Herald.
