 Readers.
 A Mena woman has used Doan's Kidney Pills.
 She has found them as repre- sented.
 She wishes her neighbors to know.
 She publicly recommends them.
 No need to look further for a test ed kidney remedy.
 The proof of merit is here and can be investigated.
 Profit by the statement of Mrs. J. w. Cunningham, iii9 Jansen Avenue She says: T was suf- fering from soreness across my kid- neys. was stiff and lame in the morning and I could neither stoop or lift. Another of my family was using Doan's Kidney Pills and I de- cided to try them. They helped me right away and the soreness in my back soon left me. Once in awhile now the pain comes back, but Doan's Kidney Pills never fail to give me relief"
 Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pils--the same that Mrs. Cunningham had. Foster Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Y. (Adv.)

 She shook off his hands. not because she rebelled against his touch. against his sympathy, merely because she had come to that nervous state where she scarce realized what she did.

He did not have to sit with folded hands and think until thought drove him into the bogs of mel ancholy.
 And so the break came. With des- perate abruptness Stella told him that she could not stay; that feeling as she did she despised herself for unwilling acceptance of everything where she could give nothing in return; that the original mistake of their marriage would never be rectifled by a perpetua- tion of that mistake.
