WHEN HER BACK ACHES
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and
Ambition Slipping Away

Medina women know how the aches
and pains that often come when the
kidneys fail make life burden.
Backache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles,
are frequent indications of weak kid
neys and should be checked in time.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only. They attack kidney dis
eases by striking at the cause. Here's
proof of their merit in a Medina
woman's words:
Mrs. s. M. Shaw, 220 S. Elmwood
street, says: II have used Doan's Kid
ney Pills several times when my kid
neys haven't been acting as they
should and I have had backache and
pains across my loins. Doan's have
always given good results. I know
Doan's Kidney Pills are a remedy of
merit and act as represented"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that

nurses is being discussed and urged
in some circles. Medina county would
be proud to salute little Major Green
or Captain Starr. Nurses are the
stuff heroes are made of. What of
those women who, though not nurses,
yet leave their own families and fire
side comforts, braving disease and
contagion, just to "help out?" A
few such women, our neighbors, have
responded to some agonizing appeals
in these dark days of influenza. No
service stripes shall be theirs, neither
badge or button, but their names shall
be written THERE in letters of gold.
"Lest we forget" the lessons Of
war-There should be an organized
effort in Medina this year to bring
Christmas cheer to the families Of
those who have suffered from wars

done safely intrenched behind the tele
phone, but, wire or wireless, some
kind of communication should be es-
tablished with neighbors. The moth

Up to, a few hours before her death,
no one outside of the family knew
that father, mother and three children
were sick, one child, a boy of ten, the
sole dependence of this afflicted fam

doctor. Have a heart! Find out If
your neighbors are suffering and re-

None of the men concerned would dis

SHORTENING OF LIFE ONE REASON
FOR ABOLISHING LIQUOR TRAFFIC

Death rates the world over rapidly being lower
ed India is one CONSPICUOUS exception in this respect
In that country the average length of life is less than
25 years.
In the United States the death rate decreased from
about 20 per thousand in 1880 to approximately Is per
thousand in 1917.
In Austria the death rate was lowered from 80 per
thousand from 1881 to 1885 to 20 per thousand in 1912
In England and Wales it was lowered during the same
period from 10 to Is per thousand in Hungary, from
33 to % per thousand in Italy from ~ to Is thou
and; in Spain from 33 to % per thousand. The
figures vary in Of the odword countries but the
general tendency is toward longer life.
In Sweden the expectation Of life at birth is 500
years; in France 457; in England and Wales, AL; in
Italy, 49, in India, 1876. In the United States the
average duration Of life is As years. compared with
40 years in 1855, and IS years in 1889
In Europe as whole, the average length of life
doubled in three and half centuries that is from
about 20 years to 40 years.
This increase in the length Of life is for reoc
ing It is needful that shod live longer these days
because the period required to get ready for ones life
work is longer To live longer means that one will use
ones more highly developed talents. The increased
vitality will give old and better oppor-
heightened life that is vitalized is to be desired.
Anything that shortens life is to be condemned and
eliminated. This is of the chief reasons why the
fight on the liquor traffic is justified. Both the man.
ufacture and sale and the of liquor shortens life.
This has been amply demonstrated by the worlds best
authorities
During half century the average life has been
heightened about five years. Those who are engaged
in the manufacture sale and dispensing of liquor have
their lives shortened by just about five years, thus
