We note in the Colfax Chroni-
Gle that John Watts. who escap-
ed from the Jail at this place
some time back, has again been
arrested on the charge Of break
ing into the store of the Iatt
Lumber Co., Grant parish, from
which he secured $135 in cash,
which was recovered and the
youthful house-breaker lodged
in the Colfax Jail. This unfortu-
nate is doubtless the victim of a
diseased brain, his mentality
perverted from some cause and
his brain unbalanced. Instead
of occupying a cell he should be
under mental treatment in some
public institution to restore his
normal tone. He comes from
good, honest people, who have
labored to reclaim him. but all to
no purpose, and there is no cause
from environment to account for
his insane and persistent propen-
sity to prey on the property of

Is It Your Kidneys?
Don't Mistake the Cause of Yuur
Troubles.

Many people never suspect their kid
neys. If suffering from lame, weak
or aching back they think that it is only
a muscular weakness; when urinary
trouble sets in they think it will soon
correct itself. And so it is with all
the other symptoms of kidney disorders.
That is where the danger often lies.
You should realize that these troubles
often lead to dropsy or bright's disease.
An effective remedy for weak or dis
eased kidneys is Doan's Kidney Pills.
Residents of this vicinity are constantly
testifying.
A. A. RACIAL, Natchitoches, La,
says: II used Doan's Kidney Pills of
and on for years and / am satisfied
that there is no better remedy for kid
ney trouble. l am bothered at times
by weak kiddeys and dull ache in the
small of my back, generally when
take cold or overdo. A few doses OF
Doan's Kidney Pills drive away the
trouble and put my kidneys in good
shape"
