Mineral Point women know how the
aches and pains that often come when
the kidneys fail make life a burden.
Backache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles, are
frequent indications Of weak kidneys
and should be checked in time. Doan's
Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only.
They attack kidney diseases by striking
at the cause
Can Mineral Point sufferers desire
stronger proof of merit than this Mon
roe woman's word?
Mrs M. c. Ruff, 423 S. Fulton ST.,
Monroe, Wis, says: II was greatly
annoyed by weak kidneys. I had a
dull pain across the small of my back
and headaches, too. One box of Doan's
Kidney Pills gave me prompt relief
from the kidney annoyance and remov-
ed the aches and pains through my
back

Do You Sleep Well?

To be at his best a man must have

restless at night he is in no condition for work

Germany'S war leaders are using the
submarine to prevent fulfillment Of
Americas agreements to feed and re-
lieve European neutrals, according to
a statement by the war trade board.
It says:
"a mass of cumulative evidence and
indications in the possession Of the
war trade board shows that Germany
is~employing the submarine menace to
prevent neighbor neutrals receiving
any food or favOrs at the hands Of the
United States and it's associates in
the war, and to coerce these neutrals
through starvation and political and
economic dependence upon Germany,
quite as much as to strike at the com
munications of it's Opponents-Ger-
many's Ostensible aim in prOclaiming
the ruthless submarine campaign.
Further indications tend to show
that the submarines are being used
along similar dOg-in-the-manger lines,
to destroy neutral shipping without re-
gard to its employment"

sued by the post office department, to
use ink only in writing the addresses.
Every piece Of mail matter should also
bear the name and address Of the

cient in the way of further address to

RE-ARRANGEMENT

EXCELLENT
CREDIT DUE POSTMASTER
FOR THE IMPROVEMENT
Place is Credit to City and Much
More Convenient for the
Public.

Changes recently completed in
the Nogales post office give this
city a thoroughly up-to-date and
very creditable post office for a
city of this class, and Postmaster
William Schuckman is deserving
of much credit for his persever-
ance in working untiringly to
bring about the improvement.
The opportunity came when
the Nogales office was allowed
additional boxes to accommo-
date the growing business at this
point. Mr.. Schuckman was quick
to see his chance, and in putting
in the new sections he prepared
plans that would do away with
several disadvantages of the
former arrangement.
In the rearranged office the
delivery window is placed at til
point of the "V," which allows
|lock-bor patrons to get their
mail without interfering with
those calling at the delivery
window. 1t also places the de-
livery clerk central to the entire
box system.

Seldom do the people of Nogales

this bald Introductory, a presen-

including Guaymas and Nogales.
During his years along the
line of that railway Mr.. Bowman

Gus ranchers and cattle owners

of immense value. When the
great shipment of cattle out of

When it is remembered that
the present council had a tax
rate of $1.05 in 1916, and $1.00
in 1917, as compared with 83
cents in 1914, and IS IL cents in
1915, the significance of their
free scattering of the taxpayers
money becomes more apparent.
Also, it must be remembered
that the preceding administra-
ton had to pay for all street inn
provements from the general
fund, while the present admins
Itration was relieved of that item
of expense, as such improve
ments were paid for by the abut-
ting property owners.
To sum up: This administra-
ton, that comes up for endorse
ment at the polls, that claimed to
have been so economical that
they paid off a democratic de-
ficit of $500, failed to pay that
deficit, although they had $780,
066.84 more cash income than
the former administration.
And they have spent almost
100000 more than the preced-
ing administration-to be exact,
$93,800 more.
And they didn't have to pay
for any permanent street inn
Iprovements out of that, either,
as the preceding administration
did.
Quite a record for efficiency,
that is, to place before the peo-
pie as a platform upon which to
ask a new lease of power, to
spend the increasing revenues oil
the town, and swell the growing
deficit.
