DON'T EXPERIMENT.

Follow This Advice.
Never neglect YOUR kidneys

Never neglect your kidneys.
If you have pain in the back,
urinary disorders, dizziness and ner-
vousness, it's time to act and no time
to experiment. These are frequent
ly symptoms of kidney trouble, and
remedy which is recommended for
the kidneys should be taken in time.
Doan's Kidney Pills are good
remedy to use. It has acted effective
ly in many cases in this vicinity.
Can Warren residents demand fur
Their proof than the following testi-
strain of heavy lifting that affected

Charles J. Krause, TOT Arnold
Ave-, N, Thief River Falls, Mimi,
says: II was bothered for quite
awhile by pains in my back. When
l lifted anything, a sharp twinge was
sure to catch me across my loins and
make it hard for me to straighten
up. Mornings, my back was very
painful and knew well enough that
the trouble was all due to disordered
kidneys, as the kidney secretions
were unnatural. I think it was the
my kidneys. I got Doan's Kidney
Pills and I hadn't used them long be-
fore the trouble ceased. I haven't
had return of it,"

was that Of the stable puppy who
knows he must not be found in the par
lor. Not thrice in his life had Verman
been within the doors Of white folks
house. and, above all things, he felt
that it was in some underlined way
vital to him to get out Of white folks
house unobserved and unknown. 1t
was in his very blood to be sure of
that.
Further than this point, the proc
esses Of Verman's mind became mys-
FERROUS to the observer. It appears,
however, that he had q definite
(though somewhat primitive) concep-
ton of the usefulness of disguise; and
he must have begun his preparations
before he heard footsteps in the room
outside his closed door.
These footsteps were Margaret's.
Just as Mr.. Schofelds coffee was
brought, and just after Penrod had
been bafIled in another attempt to
leave the table, Margaret rose ana
patted her father impertinently upon
the head.
"You can't bully me that way!" she
said. II got home too late to" dress,
and I'm going to a dance. 'Scuse."
And she began her dancing on the
spot, pirouetting herself swiftly from

When the boys closed the door upon

upon the floor and, for time, thought

that had come under his hand. He
found the patent leather not unpleas-
ant to his palate, though he sWal-
lowed only portion of what he de-
tached, not being hungry ut that time.
The soul-fabric Of Verman was of 4
fortunate weave; he was not seeker
and questioner. When it happened to
him that he was at rest in a shady
corner, he did not even think about a
place in the sun. verman took life
as it came.
Naturally, he fell asleep. And to-
ward the conclusion Of his slumbers,
he had this singular adventures: a
lady set her foot down within less
than half an inch Of his nose-and
neither of them knew it. Verlnan slept
on, without being awakened by either
the closing or the opening of the door.
What did rouse him was something
ample and soft falling upon him-M:lr-

them. They did not mean to do the
cat the slightest injury or to cause her
any pain. They were above teasing
cats, and they merely detained this
one and made her feel little wet
at considerable cost to themselves
from both the ink and the cat. How
ever, at the conclusion Of their ef-
forts, it was thought safer to drop
the cat out of the window before any
body came, and, after some hasty
work with blotters, the desk was
moved to cover certain sections Of the
rug, and the boys repaired to the bath
room for hot water and soap. They
knew they had done nothing wrong,
but they felt easier when the only
traces remaining upon them were the
less prominent ones upon their gar
ments.
These precautions taken, it was
time for them to make their appear

it had been arranged, upon petition,
earlier in the day, that Sam should
be his friends guest for the evening
meal. Clean to the elbows and with
light hearts, they set forth. They

neither had any particular air in mind
and they found nothing wrong with

And, as they obeyed, she mounted
the stairs, humming Il little tune and
christening the clasp Of the long, light
blue military cape she wore. She went
to her own quiet room, lit the gas,
removed her hat, and placed it and
the cape upon the bed; after which
she gave her hair push, subsequent
to her scrutiny of mirror; then, turn
ing out the light, she went as far as
the door. Being an orderly girl, she
returned to the bed and took the cape
and the hat to her clothes closet. She
Opeped the door of this sanctuary,
and, in the dark, hung her cape upon
q hook and placed her hat upon the
shelf. Then she closed the door again,
having noted nothing unusual, though
she had an impression that the place
needed airing. She decended to the
dinner table.
The other members of the family
were already occupied with the meal,
and the visitor was replying politely,
in his nonmasticatory intervals, to in
quiries concerning the health of his
relatives. So sweet and assured was
the condition of Sam and Penrod, that
Margaret's arrival from her room
meant nothing to them. Their men,

uttered various sounds, but Pcnrod
and Sam were incapable Of doing any
thing vocally. All rushed from the
table.
Margaret continued to shrek, and
it is not TO be denied that there was
some cause for her agitation. When
she opened the closet door, her light
blue military cape, instead of hanging
on the hook where she had left it,
came out into the room in manner
which she afterward described as "a
kind Of horrible creep, but fuster than
a Creep" Nothing was to be seen ex-
