THINGS COBB CAN'T DO

After watching him for ten
years we have found out sew
eral things the so-called wonder
full Cobb can't do. Here they
are:
1. Stretch pass into double.
2. Steal second with the bases
full.
3. Handle foul balls smoothly.
4. Score from second on a
strike-out.
5. Field bunts.
Also, don't forget that Cobb
is the weakest player in the
American league tagging base

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK
BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
and Ills Of Maysvllle People.

As one weak link weakens a chain,
so may weak kidneys weaken the
whole body and hasten the final
breaking-down.
Overwork, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys and gener-
ally when their activity is lessened the
whole body suffers.
Aches aud pains and languor and
urinary ills frequently come, and there
is an eyer-increaslng tendency to-
wards dropsy, gravel or fatal Bright's
disease. When the kidneys fail there
is no real help for the sufferer except
kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kindeys. Maysville testimony is
proof OF their effectiveness.

The general awakening throughout
the country to the need Of better thor
oughfares has recalled to the atten-
ton of many thoughtful people, the
splendid routes, along the best grades
possible. between desired locations, Sc
lected instlnctively by the buffaloes in
bygone countries. These well-traveled
roads are yet plainly discernible in
many parts of our state, and none are
better preserved than the one leading
from Salt Lick, Lewis county, down
Cabin Creek its full length to the Ohio
river and skirting the river hills to
Limestone Creek, on out to the Great
Blue Licks. This road was known in
early pioneer days as the Lower
Trace" or the Lower War Road" from
its being used often by the Indians
when making hostile epedltions south
ward.
Modern engineers have found that
these old routes can not be improved
upon and whenever possible, our
modern highways are built along the
same lines.
However, the engineers who selected
the route for the Lewis and Mason
Turnpike q do not know his name)
though he could do better, than to
follow q calf path so he surveyed the
road up Bull Creek a steep hard pull,
TO Plumville and then down another
long steep grade to Cabin Creek.
By needing the God-given instinct
Of the buffaloes. and coming straight
up the river. with no hills to climb
over, many dollars and much time
could have been saved at the outset
and thousands of dollars and uncount-

this unnecessary hill could have been
'asily prevented.
Our beautiful valley, with it's rich
historical lore and fertile acres could
be within fifteen minutes spin of the
