Mrs. ]. T. Lee, Baxter Springs,
says: Il was all WORKOUT and
depressed and my sight often
blurred / felt that my kidneys
were the cause of all these al
ments and tried one kidney
medicine without results. Doan's
Kidney Pills helped me in a re-
markably short time. ! kept on
using them and they not only
strengthened my kidneys, but re-
moved all the other ailments,
together with the rheumatic
pains in my arms and wrists.
Since then, l haven't felt any
need of kidney medicine"

simply ask for a kidney remedy

Cut the Weeds

The way weeds grow out
over the walks in some parts
Of town does not reflect any
great degree Of credit on the
city or its officials.
People who are trying to
build up the town and make it
better in every way-loOks as
well as in other ways, are not
inspired very much by the sight
Of weeds covering the sidewalks
until there is barely room
for one person to run the
gauntlet.
The weeds on the walk on
the south side Of the street
leading west from Tom Lewis
bakery are a sight, as are also
the weeds growing over the
sidewalk on the east side of
the street leading south from
the business part Of town.
| am doing what | can in my
feeble way to build up Baxter
Springs, but it is hard to make
an outsider believe We have a
good town when he looks at
the weeds.
Come in and see me If you
want to buy a home, or If you
want to sell one. | am sure
! can fit you out.
II you want to do a good
thing for yourself and for the
town, take stock in the build
ing and loan association. Some
loans are being made to build
homes, and there are several
applications in for more loans.
More money is needed to meet
the requirements Of the appli-
cants. B. & L. stock is safe,
and the investment is a good
one.

Wind Wrecks Big Bridge.

The Ryan bridge across Spring
River on the north road from
Lowell to Galena was wrecked by
a wind storm that passed over
that locality Sunday evening.
Two 80 foot spans were lifted
entirely off their piers and now
lie in about 80 feet of water. The
other spans were twisted out Of
alignment. While the force that
lifted this span must have been
terrific a peculiar feature of the
storm is that it did no damage of
any consequence anywhere else.

PROGRESSIVE Brazil

Bralil seems TO have n progressive gov
ernment that has practical ideas about
progress. Note the following CorrespOn-
dence from Rio de Janeiro nj the New
York Journal Of Commerce OF November
10:
The gradual change from the export
duty 20 the land tax Is one Of the great
Issues here. II started In the most south
eriy State, Rio Grande do Sui, more or
ess on the Henry George slngletaN theo-
~ and extended among the most cultiVa-
ted calsses Of the States Of Sac Paulo,
Mlnas Geraes, Rio de Janelro and In the
capital Of the republic bearing the same
name.
The Perfect Of the metropolis sent a
message to the Board Of Aldermen .eN-
planning in its general lines how the land
tax could b. gradually introduced, sup
pressing at the same time the obnoxious
ones. There are many products that
could have been exported long ago were
II not for the absurd system Of taxation.
Imagine what a sensation would be
caused In New York, Chicago, Philadel-
Of any of these cities We're to send to the
and sensible as that sent by the Perfect
of Rio de Janerio TO the local Board Of
Alderman. And imagine the hysterical
denunciaiion which would be showered
upon him by the big local dailies. Yet
would il not be well TO consider this
question. Can the cities Of the United
States afford 10 fan behind the cities OF
Brazil In adoption OF sensible taxation
methods? What service have the landed
interests performed, that we should re-
ject such reforms to oblige them?
