RECORD OF THE PAST
No Stronger Evidence Can Be Had
in Abilene

Look we'll to their record. What
they have done many times in years
gone by is the best guarantee of fu-
ture results. Anyone with a bad
back; any reader suffering from
urinary troubles from kidney ills,
should find comforting words in the
following statement from an Abilene
man.
T. o. Adams, 9OS w. First St.,
says: "My kidneys were weak. The
secretions were filled with sediment
and passed too freely. My back ach-
ed all the time and l got up morn
ings feeling all tired out. l tried
different medicines, but without
benefit until l took Doan's Kidney
Pills. They put my kidneys in good
order and drove away the pains"
Nearly five years later Mr.. Adams
said: my kidneys have given me
little trouble since / used Doan's
Kidney Pills and am in good health
despite my age. ] will always have
confidence in this medicine"

simply ask for a kidney remedy

NEW DRAFT IN $500 LOTS.
Detention Camp Ready to Receive
Selected Men.

Local draft boards in Kansas are
working at top speed to be ready fol-
the call from Washington to send
second draft men to the environments,
And at the environments there is as
much or more speed being developed
in the effort to be ready to receive
the men.
No intimation has come from
Washington as o'the method to be
followed in mobilizing the second
draft, but the lessons learned in the
first draft seemed to have had a
beneficial result in making the plans
for the second draft.
Indications are that the men will
be sent to Camp Funston in lots of
2 500, that number to be selected
from the seven states for which Fun
ston is to be the training post, thus
avoiding congestion of traffic, and at
the same time allowing the canton
ments to better handle the men as
they arrive.
Detention camps, in addition to
hose already established for men
now in service, are under construc-
ion or have already been built at
he national army environments for |
Use by the oncoming draft men. The
of these detention camps |
'anges from two to three thousand.
There has been no indication as
o how the first lot of second draft
nen to go to Funston will be chosen,
whether from one state or from all.
n the first draft, the men we're sent
n three contingents of approximate
Y ten thousand men each. The in
lux of contingent was spread over
week. Separate and distinct unit
rganizations have been made for
hese detention camps to handle all
he drafted men as they arrive.
Cultures will be taken from all
and infectious disease,
hus separating the carriers.

Certain articles of diet tend to
check movements of the bowels. The
most common Of these are cheese,
tea and boiled milk. On the other
hand raw fruits, especially apples and
bananas. also graham bread and
whole wheat bread promote a move
ment of the bowels. When the bow
els are badly contsipated, however,
the sure way is to take one or two Of
Chamberlain's Tablets Immediately
after supper.

Kidney disease carries away large
percentage Of our people. What Is to
be done? The answer is easy. Eat less
meat, eat coarse, plain food, with plenty
of vegetables, drink plenty of water
between meals, and take an uric acid
solvent after meals for while, such as
Anuric double strength), obtainable at
almost any drug store. 1t was first
discovered by DR.. Pierce. Most every
one troubled with uric acid finds that
Anuric dissolves the uric acid as hot
water does sugar. You can obtain a
trial package by sending ten cents to
