THE PROPER COURSE
Information of Priceless Value to
Every Minnemucca Citizen

How to act in an emergency is
knowledge of inestimable worth, and
this is particularly true of the diseas-
es and ills of the human body. If
you suffer with kidney backache, uri-
nary disorders, or any form of kidney
trouble, the advice contained in the
following statement should add a
valuable asset to your store of knowl-
edge. What could be more convincing
proof of the efficiency of Doan's Kid
ney Pills than the statement of a near
by resident who has used them and
publicly tells of the benefit derived?
Mrs. J. B. Wainwright, IA Steven
son St, Reno, New, says: Il used
Doan's Kidney Pills for pains in the
small of my back and other symptoms
of kidney trouble. They fixed me up
in good shape in a short time"
Price SOC at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Wainwright had. Foster-Milbarn

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only n way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inhamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation car be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any Ease of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

WAR
WITH POLITICAL F0OTNOTES

Almost simultaneously with the
Presidents to the militia of
the states came the Democratic ma
tional committee with an inspired ex-
PLANTATION and defense of the matter.
Sent broadcast to Democratic editors
all over the country. this document is
intended to dull the edge of criticism
from those who recall the proud boast
that "he kept us out of war" and 1t is
further designed to furnish a basis
for capitalizing to the Presidents po-
litical advantage whatever victories
our troops may win in Mexico.
Among all the novel features which
this administration has provided for
the entertainment of the country this
surely is entitled to high place. War,
with political footnotes, is a rarity on
this side of the ocean and north of
the Rio Grande. Many Americans
hoped that when the administration
had finally concluded that its policy of
''watchful waiting" was a failure and
that nothing but a stern show of force
would accomplish anything for the
restoration of our prestige in Mexico,
we should then have done with the
painfully futile practice of splitting
ink over white paper as a means of
asserting American rights. But is
seems that is not to be the case. Not
only have we seen the continued writ
ing and sending of notes to the de
facto" Carranza whom Wilson made
but we have the added feature of the
Democratic national committee rush
ing into print with labored explana-
tons and defenses of the course of
the Executive. This, to borrow the
caustic comment of the British bar
rister who was reviewing the Lives
of the Lord Chancellors," adds a new
terror to war. 1t will be bad enough
to have to read the gruesome ac-
counts of military operations in Mex
leo. But to be compelled also to pc
ruse the glossarial explanations of
the Democratic politicians who will
seek to make votes for Wilson out of
his belated following of a duty which
clear-headed men have perceived for
more than three years-this is, as
Josh Billings would have said, "tew
much"

SHOULD SLOAN'S LINZ
MENT GO ALONG7

OF course it should! For after a
strenuous day when your muscles
have been exercised to the limit an
application of Sloan's Liniment will
take the soreness and stiffness away
and get you in fine shape for the NOR
row. You should also use IT for a
sudden attack of toothache, stiff neck,
backache, stings, bites and the many
accidents that are incidental to a va
cation. I'VE would as soon leave our
baggage as go on a vacation or camp
out without Sloan's Liniment," writes
one vacationist. I'VE use it for every
thing from cramps to toothache." Put
a bottle in your bag, be prepared and
have no regrets. -advt.3

ten me, a man among men,"
Dunn" burst forth Mr.. Blair, you
amaze mel" There was a culver Of
his stern lip, for he was touched. Take
the house. Right or wrong, for the
old mothers sake go ahead" Then in
his brusque way he bowed Robert out
of his private Office. And then for
nearly five minutes he sat in deep,
somber ~cogitation.
The secret of the diligence and the
rigid economy of his employee was out
at last. He was not a sentimental
man, but a thought of his own mother,
who had not lived to witness his mate
rial success, came back to him with
strange force. He figured in his mind
that on an average of one thousand
two hundred dollars a year Robert
Dunn might possibly ave up the one
thousand dollars he was about to ex
pend. but not much more. And yet he
enyied him this opportunity OF sacri-
6afnO all hQ had ~ kaon hriohf khn
heart Of his devoted father and
mother.
1t was a peculiar situation. Robert
Dunn realized this as he left the Office
that evening. He was about to attempt
a gross deception and yet he could not
decide otherwise than he had done. He
pictured the delight his father and
mother would experience to see him
apparently surrounded by the best that
wealth and position could give. He
would have them enjoy the time of
their lives. He would send them back
home blissfully contented. Where the
harm?
1t was after supper at the second
rate boarding house where he lived
when Robert went to call upon Edna
Wilson. They had been engaged for
FIVE years. but he had never been
able. they decided, to start out upon
the sea of matrinony until he had ac-
quired a fair sum against the future.
She was a true. loving woman. There
were no secrets between them. Cheer
fully she had acquiesced in his past ef
forts to give his aged parents a com
Portable home. She greeted him on
this especial evening heart and soul in
accord with his dearest hopes and
wishes.

newspaper publishing statistics show
ing how much better business is in

pared with last year or as compared

write him a letter asking him to pub
lish comparative statistics showing
business conditions under the Demo-
cratic tariff law. before the war began
as compared with the corresponding
period under the Republican tariff
law. You may not get the editor to
publish the statistics. but you will
give him something to feel ashamed
of.

The minis are now producing silver
halves. quarters and dimes in a new
design in which Liberty is outlined
before an American flag. In her arms
the goddess carries a sheaf of laurel
and her gaze is fixed upon a rising
sun which, the artists say, is symbol
cal of the dawn of a new day. The
design fits the times. The American
goddess of liberty has been having a
hard time of it for the past three
years and the new day which these
new coins typify is about to dawn.
The goddess is not the only one who
is looking for that rising sun of a
prolonged Republican day in power.

In preparation for a possible war
with Mexico. the government has pur-
chased a long line of commodities to
which the publicity agents of the Will

the title of war orders" when sold to
Europe. Blankets, for instance, are
not munitions of war when swelling
our export trade. but they suddenly
become munitions when we need them
for our own soldiers on the way to
