 Many people have weak spot.
 Too often it's bad back.
 Twinges follow every sudden twist. Dull aching keeps up, day and night.
 Bachache is often from weak kid neys. In such case kidney medicine is needed.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys,
 For backache and urinary ills.
 Canaan people recommend the remedy.
 I.E. Curtis, carpenter, R. F. D., Canaan, says: "About a year ago, I suffered quite bit from bachache. I had dull pains in the small of my back and felt all tired out. I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and got some from R. T. Farnum & Co.'s Drug Store. Two boxes cured me of the attack.
 Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that MT. Curtis had. Foster-Milburn Co.,, Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.-adv g

"CANNOT MATCH THE BIBLE"
Stories In Sacred Volume Have Never Been EquaIed, Yale Pro-
 lessor Says.

The bulk of the people-business men, lawyers, doctors and others don't read the Bible, but writers universally recognize 1t as the greatest book, Prof. William Lyon Phelps of Yale univer- sity said in a recent address.
 Being q serious book 1t Is weak in humor," Professor Phelps said. "But I think Job intended grim joke when he said: Would that mine adversary had written q book
 "No narrative writers can match the style of the Bibles Old Testament stories-Hume, Gibbon, Rose-they are all inferior. This is the day of the short-story writer, Kipling, De Maupas- sant, O. Henry, but their best efforts fall short of the stories of the Bible. So it is with its poetry in the Psalms. Its wisdom of the Proverbs is just as up-to-date as the morning paper, and there is no political economy equal to the Book of Gospels.
 "It Is impossible to overestimate the Bibles influence on English literrture. Bunyan wrote a great book because he was saturated with the Bible, and 1t trickled out when he wrote.
 "Lincoln knew only two books-the Bible and Shakespeare, and yet he was splendidly educated man. To know the Bible is to be educated. One of the finest metaphors in Keats Ode to a Nightingale Is taken directly from the Bible; Nearer, My God, to Thee is simply .paraphrase of the Bible

TRAINED TEACHERS
CANNOT Be SECURED
Grants Pass, Oregon.
November 2, 1913.

Editor Rogue River Courier,
Dear Sir:
In reply to your question as 10
local needs for more normal schools
In our state we wish to make the
following statement:
The teaching profession has been
80 depleted by the men and women
going into tho service and other
more lucrative lines OF activity that
no more trained teachers can be Sc
cured TO fiji further vacancies In our
schools. Even though the war may
close soon very few of these will
find their way back into the pro-
fession on account OF better pay In
other lines OF service. We have
tried to get teachers from this state
and other states and find that they
cannot be secured. The city and
rural schools have had TO employ
unprepared teachers who have been
out OF service for years in order TO
MI their schools and even now some
schools are not filled. In adjacent
counties large numbers Of schools
have not been able to open because
teachers cannot be secured.
We sincerely hope that the voters
OF Josephine county will realize this
condition and not vote against more
normal schools next Tuesday.
Very respectfully.
ALICE NJ. BACON.
