Recorder Gillette enlivened the
tiresome argument over budget mat
ters at Tuesdays council meeting by
telling Of one time when he volun-
teered to act as special policeman
on Halloween and guarded the West
school building About 10 o'clock
at night some boys approached and
as they climbed through window
into the darkened room in which he
was hidden he grabbed one by the
foot. After a terrific struggle the
lad broke away leaving his shoe in
Policeman Gillette's grasp. Like the
prince hunting for Cinderella, he
spent many days seeking the foot
which would fit the shoe, but, as is
so often the case in real life, the
story did not have an ending like the
fairy tale.

1t was very unthoughtful of the
fire department to have a fire on a
cold morning like Tuesday. The
wind was altogether too cold and
many were forced to forego the
pleasure of going to fire, pleas
ure which does not come often in
Ashland. The fire department
should try to arrange it so that fires
come only in the middle of the after
noon or, better still, along about
noon when everybody can get away
from work. Those few who did go
to the cold fire Tuesday a. m. were
sadly disappointed. Fires are usual
ly very interesting, but only a few
of the near neighbors were there and
most of them wore the usual amount
of clothes. An early morning fire is
generally as interesting as musical
comedy chorus. Folks most always
look like they'd dressed in hurry
and not much of anything else. We
thought of getting married once un-
til we met the girl at a fire about
O'Clock in the morning. Cruel dis
allusionment. We would advise
everybody who is thinking of getting
married to set a good big early
morning blaze-but not on cold
morning.

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BIB RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH.

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition OF the
kidneys.
The physician In nearly all cases Of
serious illness, makes a chemical analy.
sis Of the patients urine. He knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When tho kidneys are neglected or
abused In any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According TO health sta.
tistics, Bright's Disease, which 10 really
an advanced form Of kidney trouble,
caused nearly ten thousand deaths in one
year, in the State Of New York alone.
Therefore, it IL particularly necessary to
pay more attention to the health Of these
important organs.

remarkable success rs q kidney remedy

kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
