Good news bears repeating, and when
it is confirmed after a long lapse of
time, even if we hesitated to believe it
at first hearing, we feel secure in &C
cepting it's truth now. The following
experience of an Edgerton man is con-
firmed after two years:
John Koch, Lawton St., Edgerton,
Wis, says: 81 had lot of trou-
BILE with my back. 1t was 50 lame
and sore that could hardly stoop. My
kidneys didn't act regularly and the
kidney secretions were unnatural.
Doan's Kidney Pills relieved the lame
ness and pain and did me whole lot
of good. My kidneys were fixed up
in good shape and caused me no more
trouble" statement given September

U. S. SOLDIERS UNDER FIRE
TWO Soldiers Wounded at Front in
France-Contingent Of Army
Directly Behind British Line.

With the British Armies in the
Field, Sept 25.-American troops for
the first time are under German fire in
France. Two American soldiers have
been slightly wounded. They were
struck by fragments of a bursting
shell.
A certain contingent of the Amer
lean army is now located directly be-
hind the British line, we'll within range
of the enemy guns.
The two wounded men are the
proudest members of this contingent
which 1 visited Sunday. Neither of
the two American soldiers was badly
enough hurt to earn gold medals.
They were the heroes of the camp,
however, and the most envied of all
the Sammies.

When Watch ResembIed an Apple.

Although some OF the early watches
were very small in circumference, they
were thick and the front and back fair
" bulged so that they were more the
shape Of an apple than cookie, which
they really resemble today. The wa
ferlike watch is an invention Of very
recent times and the process of thin
ming it is even now going on. The OBJ
vious advantage of the thin watch Is
that it can be placed in the belt or
pocket without making a bulge. If
watches had always been worn round
the necks they might still be spherical
rather than DISLIKE in shape.

while remaining decided to marry and
so he and the lady of his choice went
to Rockford, the Gretna Green of the
