KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Health Is Worth Saving, and Some
Lakeland People Knox How to
Save It

Many Lakeland people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these or
gans need help. Weak kidneys are
responsible for a vast amount of suf-
fering and i'll health, but there is no
need to suger nor to remain in dan
ger. Use Doan's Kidney Pills-a rem
edy that has helped thousands of
kidney sufferers.
The following statement leaves no
ground for doubt.
ID. B. Singletary, farmer, Griffin,
Fla, says: About two years ago I
began to have trouble from my kid
neys. My back bothered me a lot
and the kidney secretions were too
frequent in passage, obliging me to
get up. This broke my rest. ] was
advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills
and l did. l got good results, Doan's
Kidney Pills live up to the claims
made for them, and it gives me
pleasure to endorse them.
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Singletary had. Foster-Milburn

TODAY's BATTLE OF
THE BALLOTS

The elections today is important,
1t is true. but 1t has nothing like the
bearing on the lives of our people as
did the bond election of June LIST.
This is recognized, generally, as
evidenced by the fact that the inter-
est is not so great and there will not
be nearly as heavy vote cast in this
county as at the bond election.
1t is a matter of no small import
ance who shall be chosen to admin
lister our affairs and execute our
laws; but, after all, it is not a mat
ter wherein we are left without re-
course. Every official is so hedged
about with limitations that 1t is pref
ty hard for him to go far astray;
and should any prove undesirable,
the term for which he is elected is
not so long but that the mistake of
his selection may be corrected with
in a reasonable time. Even if some
one should be chosen to fill an adj
ministrative Office who is vicious or
ill-disposed, the restraints OF the
courts will necessarily hold him in
check and prevent him from doing
any material injury. Even the freak
legislator will run against the bar
rier of the State constitution; and
back of it all stands the constitution
of the United States, insuring pro-
lection and equal rights to all, de-
spite the efforts of the ignorant, the
vicious, the demagogic, the partisan,
the preiudiced
And so. no matter who may be
elected, we should all reflect that
things will rock along about the
same, and that there are other
things affecting our life and work
that are vastly more material than
the question of who shall fill the Of
fees. It is certain that there are
going to be many disappointments
when the results are determined;
but it is hoped that principals and
supporters alike will all be game los
ers or generous winners.

PoLKs VOTE PLACES
FLORIDA IN THE LEAD

When on Thursday last Polk coun-
ty voted a bond issue Of $1.500,O0O
for paved highways, the total
amount spent and being spent in
Florida for good roads during the
past Ave years comes up to $12,271,-
424.37. The figures have been cane
fully compiled by the Tampa Tri-
bune as obtained from the office OF
the State comptroller and from other
official sources. Polk county makes
the twenty-ninth county in Florida
to issue bonds for seurfaced high
ways. II ought to be a matter for
real pride that st. Johns has a place
on the honor roll as among the pro-
gressive counties in this great State.
OF course Polk county is receiving
and well deserves all the compli-
mentary things said and written and
printed about the splendid achieve
ment of last Thursay which takes
that county at the top of the list as
to the magnitude Of its proposed
road-building operations. The time
has come when argument against a
good roads bond issue has ceased to
have weight unless under exceptional
circumstances Floridians are begin
ming to realize that this State is and
must continue to be the mecca Of all
winter automobile enthusiasts and
tourists. Thousands came here last
winter simply because Of the prog
ress in road work by many of the
leading counties. There will be many
more thousands next winter and
more the next and so on from year
to year until all Florida will be in
timately acquainted with the State,
it's advantages and attractions. And
his thing Of close personal acquaint-
ance means more people on more
farms and more residents in the
cities and towns.
Polk county's vote has now placed
Florida in the front rank of good
roads States. In fact the federal
statistics show that Florida is now
expending more money per capita for
good roads than any State in the
Union The fact is bound to attract
national attention and to bring more
motorists than ever to this motor
lists paradise st. Augustine Rec
ord.

STATESBOR0 MINISTER
GETS REAL HELP
Rev J. Powell Tells How He Found
New Strength to Give to
His Labors

Rev. j. Powell, OF Statesboro,
Ca, suffered from stomach troubles
So seriously that they affected his
work.
He struggled on under the handi-
cap as best he could-hardly realiz-
ing, perhaps, just how much his sick
ness was hurting him.
One day he learned of Mayr's Won
derful Remedy. He took the first
dose-then decided to take the full
tratment. He wrote:
"Since using the six bottles of your
wonderful remedy l feel like another
man. 1t has been quite a wonder to
me to know how one could have
stomach disease like mine and live
and do the work l did. just es-
capped the operating table.
Now I can eat what l please and
1t doesn't hurt me night or day"
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives
permanent results for stomach. liver
and intestinal ailments. Eat as much
and whatever you like. No more dis
tress after eating. pressure of gas in
the stomach and around the heart.
Get one bottle of your druggist now
and try it on an absolute guarantee
If not satisfactory money will be
returned.

SCORES HURT IN
PH0T0PLAY RIOT

During the making Of the riot
scenes in Destruction" labor
drama produced by William Fox, two
camera mems assistants and a score
of actors and bystanders wer in
jureded when three companies of
State militia and troop of cavalry
charged the crowds. The riot
scenes had been carefully rehearsed,
the ground had been staked out and
1t was assumed that every man
knew where he was to be at a given
moment.
In the actual making of the scenes,
however, several police mounts be-
came unruly, lunged out of place and
broke up the pre-arranged order OF
things. AS result, when the repre-
sentatives Of law and order charged
into the foreground, instead of
swinging by the battalion of cam
eras they swept straight into them.
Those most seriously injured were

SUPPOSE

Suppose you'd never seen a tree be-
fore;
Its whispering. youthful green,
the sweeping line
OF straight, strong trunk. would you
Or not the wonder-thing, and call
it fine?
Suppose you'd never seen the mid
night sky;
Blue-black and diamond lit with
lavish hand;
Would you feel shame If tears came
to your eyes,
Because it was So great and still
and grand?
Suppose you'd never seen an autumn
mist,
With glory Of the moonlight strik-
ing through /.
Till all's a-thrill, like Sleeping Beau
ty kissed,
Would that bring wonder to the
heart of you?
Suppose you'd never seen a waveless
lake
Receive the red-hot sun and then
the glow
OF splendor ere the twilight. Would
it take
Much more ere you'd the joy of
living know?
Suppose you'd never seen a human
face,
Moulded by tears and smiles to
something fine;
Would you not find there some un-
earthly grace,
And read therein some trace of
things divine?
Suppose you just forgot the things
you've known,
And for the first see it all anew
With fresher vision Would you not
be shown
The world of all wondrous fair and
fine and true?

THE MENAGERiE
BY Walt Mason


All living creatures seem to throns
the road that l would tour along, in
my chugmobile; they'll leave their
homes and travel far to throw them
selves beneath my car, and bust a
costly wheel All thoroughfares, with
mules and goats, and sheep and hens
and calves and shoats, forevermore
are packed; l just collided with a
cow-against her adamtine brow, my
radiator cracked The cows will leave
the tender grass to block the road
where | must pass, upon my road to
town; the hogs will leave their spark
ling swill to make stand on yonder
hill, and turn me upside down. Anon
squash farmers hen, that surely
wasn't worth yen, when 1t was in
its prime; but now ! hear the owner
howl, you killed my rare imported
fowl, of pedigree sublime!" jog
Ialong and break the Stats of dogs and
ducks and geese and cats. and al
ways, when they die, the price goes
lnp to beat the band; "They were the
finest in the land" hear the owners
cry The way the formers beasts
run loose is certainly great abuse,
1t is no more a joke; and II travel
west or east, at every corner there's
beast that's suffering to croak.

Gladys Writes
To p. C.'S
prominent CltIxens)

Dear Col. Spencer: II
VIII you please write to Mr.. Far
ris and tell him that when he is gov
ernor, want him to let women vote?
could write to him, but / would
have to explain who am, and IL will
look much more modest il you do
that for me.
| never wanted to vote before but
some Of the candidates this year are
awfully good looking. TRULY says we
ought not to pick out candidate by
his looks, but 1 think that is the
best way; don't you? OF course, one
can be mistaken. / have seen some
candidates that didn't look like they
had half sense, but after you hear
them talk a while, you can tell that
they have. Still. l think you can
tell good deal by looks. and I
wouldn't feel right voting for a
homely man, anyway. II man don't
look like he ought to, that Is his
hard luck, because I think he ought
to do so.
That is one of the things I like
about Chero-Cola; 1t looks good.
When you offer it to a friend, you
know that its beautiful color and
clearness are a recommendation for
1t right away. OF course, the taste
you know how it tastes-like some
thing you were taking from the hand
of Nature herself There's none so
good"
TRULY says If women are going to
vote, it ought to be Just single wom-
en-, because married women have
husbands to do the voting, but don't
have it that way, please. / know
shall love to vote when l get started,
and l see any of the Lakeland boys
voting for the man their wife asked
them to. Why, ] don't dare to say
that Jimmie Nesbit is good-looking
for fear of hurting his business.
Your true friend, GLADYS.

Renardinn the Teeth

The teeth serve varied purposes.
The four front teeth, or incisors, are
ehisel-shaped in order that they may
cut or bite. This shape is also helpful
in enunciation. The eye teeth, be-
hind the fneisOrs, are better fitted for
heavier cutting or biting than the
front ones. They are a transition
form between the inelsors and the
larger teeth, which stand next and
which break the food into small bits
before it is ground and pulverized BY
the solid back teeth.

Press Association of DEBORAH, Iowa.
whereby they are to have the exclu-
Bive agency for "Meritol' in Lakeland.
The American Drug & Press Asso-
ciation, by the way Of introduction
was organized in January, 1910, by
prominent men in the drug and news
paper profession for the purpose OF
Establishing a cooperative laboratory
and general Office for the manufacture
and sale through its membership only
medicinal and toilet PREPARATION; each
for a specific ability and experience
of the chemists and pharmacists OF
the Association could produce.
In organizing the Association the
members felt that they would render
the public a great service by Offering
ht full line of everyday family ne
hcessities that was known to be OF
1.-THE highest quality; and realizing
that the public had been victimized
by numerous concerns through the
extensive advertising Of fake" and
to give the public the benefit of the
k"cure-all" preparations, they propose
chemical skill of its members under
the trade marked name "MeritoP'
Each article manufactured by the AS
Esociation is guaranteed through the
retail agency to be all merit; hence
the name "MeritoP.
During the first year Of the Asso
Iciation's business career it placed on
the market only about sixteen arti
Giles, but have added to the line from
time to time, until now they are man
ufacturing over five hundred articles
of everyday usefulness in every fam
lily, which are sold throughout the
United States.
From the fact that the Association
selects as members and agents only
druggists of the highest integrity an6
ability. Henley's Drug Store is to bt
congratulated in their good fortune II
securing the "Meritor lin Elm Lake
land. The Association does not claim
that "Meritol" preparations are "cure
alls" and there is not one "Meritol'
preparation advertised for many pur
poses. Each article is made for |
specific purpose. Furthermore ever!
druggist member of this Association
is supplied with the formula of eacl
"Meritor' preparation that he ma!
know that he is offering to his custo
mers articles of merit and quality
and each article mapufactured by thi
Organization is sold with the distinc
understanding that IL it is not entire
ly as represented in every particular
the purchase price will be refunded
The public may purchase the pro
ducts of this Organization with utmos
confidence, as an organization of thi
: character has every facility at it
command for carrying out its object
and purposes; and surely merits thu
patronage of a discriminating public.
