GOOD NEWS
Many Wauseon Readers Have Heard
1t and PrOfited Thereby.

"Good news travels fast" and the
many bad back sufferers in Wauseon
are glad to learn where relief may be
found. Many lame, weak and aching
back is bad no more, thanks to Doan's
Kidney Pills. Our citizens are tell
ing the good news of their experience
with this tested remedy. Here is an
example worth reading:
Mrs. John Swindeman, 423 E.
Chestnut street, Wauseon, says: "Two
years ago l was troubled with severe
backache and it was hard for me to
do my house work. When sweeping
the floor sharp pains pains would catch
me in the small of my back. I dreaded
to think of wash day for when I bent
over the tubs that same, sharp pain
would catch me in my back. I had
dizzy spells quite often which were so
bad when got up in the morning that
I felt tired out. My kidneys showed
signs of disorder in other ways. I
was advised to take Doan's Kidney
Pills one day and after I had used
them a short time the pains in my
back were relieved and I had no more
trouble with my kidneys. I have
been troubled a few times since by
my kidneys, but few doses of Doan's
Kidney Pills have always done me
good"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get

Mrs. Swindeman used. Foster-Mil

MIIPINOS AND RAMROO

San Francisco, Cal. Our little
brown brothers in the tropics cannot
understand how citizens Of the United
States get along without bamboo, ac-
cording to United States Marines, re-
turning here from the Philippines.
The Filipinos use bamboo for every
thing. They build their shacks from
this material exclusively, using stout
poles for the supports, fattened-out
bamboo for the sides and floors, and
bind the whole together with tough
bamboo fibre. 1t is also used for the
construction of barrels to carry wa
ter, and green bamboo, followed -out,
is used as a receptacle in which the
natives cook their rice. The friction
caused by rubbing together two sticks
cut from this useful. tree will start
a fire in less than three minutes.
The U. S. Marines have convinced
the Filipinos that America is very
wonderful place, but when told that
we do not cultivate bamboo, the
islanders are inclined to be bit skep-
tical.
