SOME GOOD ADVICE
Strengthened by Emmett Experiences.

Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neglect. At the first sign OF uackache,
heanacne, dlZZlneSs or urinary dISor-
uerS, you should give the weakened
kidneys prompt attention. Eat little
meat, take JAlngs easier and use a
reuaUle KiGney tonic. Ihercs no 9TH
er kinney medlclne so well recon-
mended as DOans Kidney Pills. Em-
NETT people rely on them. Here's one
OF Uhe many statements from Emmett
people:
mrs. r. A. Mcfarland, First street,
Emmett, says: ''Une OF the family
was crippled up with Dackache and
complained of Iameness and soreness
across tie IONS. Doan's hIdney Pills
were used ana they removed the back
ache and proved of benefit In every
way | took Doan's Kidney Pills about
a year ago for backacne and trouble
from the kidney secretions and was
greatly benefited" Statement given
June 10, 19l0.)
OVER TWO YEARS LATER, Mrs.
added: Nothing has
my high opinion Of Doan's
Kidney Pills. My former endorsement
holds good"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that

Problem

on his life work. He wants to carr
money for himself. He dislikes tc
) sponge" off his father longer Has
four years of high school helped him
any?
He gets job in the village store.
Beyond the four fundamental rules
and fractions his mathematics are of
no use. Unless he has taste for the
classics, his Latin, inside of year,
will not enable him to translate the
labels on the bottles in the town drug
store. In a year his knowledge of the
! sciences is as a half forgotten dream.
And life's work is before him and his
education has not prepared him for it,
save as the high school training has
taught him to think, and has estab-
lished his ideals of good citizenship
and right living.
And there is no place in town to
learn a trade. Once in five years a
blacksmith may take on a helper. The
matchmaker does not want to be both
cred with boy around for two years
before he can earn his salt One dew
il is all the printing office can use.
He does not want to teach school
it is becoming more and more wom-
ans job. What's the answer?
He must turn his face cityward for
opportunity. He feels the social linn
itations of his town. There is no pub
lie library, no reading room, no Y NJ.
c. A., no gymnasium. Nowhere to
spend his leisure hours with others of
his kind except on the street and in
the restaurants or stores that are not
early closing Virtually there is no
chance for anything in the way OF
pastime except to loaf. Whose fault
is it?
He has had four years in the high
school. The high school has fitted
the one boy out of fifty to enter col
lege. What has it done for the other
forty-nine? Why should not manual
training be part of every graded
and high school course? Why should
only the boy who wishes to become
A scholar have every opportunity pro-
,ided by law, while the greater num-
Der who must make their living with
heir hands and expect to make their
living by following standard trade,
AVE no such chance, provided by law?

CURRENT COMMENT.

Any hilarity felt by Idaho Republi-
cans on account Of the scrap the Dem
ocrats are cooking up among them
selves must be short lived. The Dem
ocrats scrap and quarrel and even
fight until it comes to the test and
then they get together like kittens in
a box and snuggle up and love each
other TO the limit. And when it comes
TO voting, no matter how they have
disagreed and wrangled before cleo
ton day, when it comes to voting
they will vote as one man, and if the
Republicans bet on anything else they
will lose their money.

Green lawns, the parkings and the
vacant lots are starred with yellow
dandelions, and everywhere men are
worrying and saying things. 1t is too
bad that the dandelions tend TO choke
out the grass, and that the plants are
- ugly when the blooms are gone
For the mower Itself is cheerful and
attractive, although its commences
might prevent it from ever gaining
real standing. In the shops of the
city florists golden rod is highly val
ued, but in country fields il is
noxious weed, A city woman whose
acquaintance with golden rod was
limited to those that came from the
florist went to the country and re-
turned from her first stroll in the
fields with an armful of golden rod.
"Isnt this lovely? ?" she exclaimed as
she entered the farmhouse where she
was visiting. "What, that yaller top"
returned her host. Only the soul OF
poet or an artist sees beauty IN

the dandelion. "Sparks that have

If sugar goes on soaring in price,
as it has done since the war began,
people may begin to think regretfully
of the 'long sweetenin'" Of the days
during the war, In those days "short
sweetnin'" was loaf sugar, which
came in chunks the shape of tall hat
crown and so hard that it had to be
broken with a hammer to get pieces
small enough to sweeten a cup of cof-
fee. "L.ong sweetnin' was sorghum
molasses, commonly known as "sor-
ghum." Loaf sugar was so expensive
it was a luxury and was put on the
table only when Company" came. But
every table had its pitcher of sorghum
and mighty good it was, too, especial
" on pancakes or hot biscuit right af-
ter it was freshly made in the fall.
In those days enterprising farmers
planted patches of sorghum and made
molasses by squeezing the juice from
the cane and boiling it down. Coffee
became so scarce during the war, and
during many years after, especially
during the grasshopper year in Kan
sas, that roasted grain was used in
place of it; and people got along just
as we'll with that, sweetened with a

There was an old geczer and he
had lot of sense. He started a
business on Gollar-e;ghty cents. The
dollar for atock. and the eighty for
an ad brought him three lovely dol
lars in day, by dad! Well, he bought
more goods and little more space,
and he played that system with a
smile on his face. The customers
flocked to his two-by-four and soon
he had to hustle for regular store.
Up on the square, where the people
pass he gobbled up a corner that was
all plate glass. He fixed up the win
dows with the best that he had and
told them all about it in a half page
ad. He soon had 'em coming and he
never, never quit, and he wouldn't cut
down his ads, one jit And he's kept
things humping in the town ever
since, and everybody calls him the
Merchant Prince. Some say it's luck,
but that's all bunk-why he was doing
business when the times were punk!
People have to purchase and Geezer
was wise-for he knew the way to
get m was to advertise.

Hancock county republicans should
roll up good majority next Monday.
No more emphatic expression can be
given to their objection to Southern
democratic tariff legislation than by a
rousing vote for the two candidates
of United States senator and for their
own candidate for congressman, John
A. Peters, of Ellsworth, who stands
firm in his belief that 'the American
farmer, the American manufacturer
and the American workman should
have the first chance in the markets
of this country. And while thus
giving their voice and their votes for
the protection OF their own interests,
the republicans of Hancock county
have also presented for their votes a
candidate for governor and county
ticket fully worthy their undivided
support.
