After Six Years
Bedding Testimony Remains
mistaken

Time is the best test of truth. Here
is Bedding story that has stood the
test of time. 1t is a story with a
point which will come straight home
to many of US.
M. Y. Gephart, proprietor Of con-
fectionery store, 416 S. Broas street,
Belding, says: "Some years ago / suf-
fered from sharp, cutting pains in my
back and through my loins. 1t was
hard for me to stoop or lift. i finally
used Doan's Kidney Pills and in a
short time, they rid me of the all
ments. Statement given November
18th, 1906).
MORE THAN SIX YEARS LATER
Mr., Gephart said: "My former recon-
mendation of Doan's Kidney Pills still
holds good. They are the best of kid
ney medicines"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Gephart has twice publicly recon-
mended. Foster Milburn Co., Props.

MASTER MEDICINE"

George Williams, Box %, Marion,
Michigan, writes the following re-
garding the benefit he has derived
from the new remedy, Tanlac:
Although l have had catarrh for
years and seemed to be unable to get
rid of it, find that, after taking one
bottle of Tanlac my condition is very
much improved. Friends have MOTTO
ed and commented on the change and
feel better in every way. / have
tried nearly every remedy on the mar
ket but have never been benefited by
anything until I started taking Tan
lac"
Catarrh of the head is very prevail
ent in this section of the country.
Manifesting itself as it does in accum-
ulation of mucous in the throat, wat
cry dripping Of the nose, frequent
coughing up Of mucous, offensive
breath, pains across the forehead and
throbbing pains In the back Of the
head, II IL very disagreeable. Tanlac
has been proven especially valuable
in relieving these conditions.

100000 Worth of Good Roads for
Kent County

Kent county farmers have become
so enthusiastic over the benefits of
good roads that the commissioners
will expend 100000 for highway i'm
provement this season.
One feature of the road building
for 1916 is that new roads be con-
structed for permanency, rather than
short-time betterment. A scheme
has been worked out whereby roads
with eight-foot concrete centers and
gravel shoulders may be construct
ed at cost of about $4,000 a mile.
This is very cheap when the cost of
highways in many other, states is
considered, owing to the natural re-
sources for cement road building at

Placing the Hen Roosts

It matters but little where the
roosts are arranged provided they are
out of the way of those who are COM
PEELED to pass in and out. The roosts
should be in such position that the
fowls will be warm and comfortable,
the main object being to avoid drafts
or currents of air.

all sorts of things not ordinarily ex-
pected in the orthodox department for
a mountain lion. is making a lot OF
friends at Tom Kelch's place on san
Antonio street. Mr.. KeIch bought the
little animal this morning from Frank
Curry to send TO Kansas City to his
friend, NJ. Quinn, a horseman of that
city. Mr.. Curry bought the animal from
a Mexican who caught it in the Gun
tains below Juarez Evidently the little
fellows mother was killed. for the

home some months ago and made
friends with the baby calves. soon
the animal became q regular house
pet and the Mexican brought IL to FL
Paso for sale. Mr. Curry bought the
animal and then Mr.. Kelch bought it
from Mr. Curry. Only six months old.
the little lion is as tame as a kitten
and his antics are exactly like those
OF a playful little tabby.
