WHY THAT LAME BACK?

That morning lameness those sharp
pains when bending or lifting, make
work burden and rest impossible.
Don't be handicapped by bad back
look to your kidneys. You will
make no mistake by following this
Flat River residents example.
Mrs, R. A. Cunningham, Federal
Mill, Flat River, Mo-, says: II was
troubled with my kidneys for several
years and finally could hardly get
about. My back was weak and lame
and panied constantly and my feet
and limbs were SO swollen l could
hardly bear my weight. My kidneys
didn't act right, either. Four boxes
of Doan's Kidney Pills put my kid
neys in good order, the swelling was
reduced and I was relieved of the ter
rible backaches."

Yeggmen Rob Bank of Potosi.
lPotosi Jonrnal.A

(Potosi Journal)
Early this "wednesday morning
band of three yeggmen entered the
Bank of Potosi, burned a large hole in
the door of the vault with portable
gas outfit, which enabled them to
throw back the bolts and enter the
vault. Access to the building was
gainedby forcing open the front door.
The safe was not molested. We are
informed that the robbers secured only
small amount of money, less than
ten dollars, but they made off with
several thousand dollars worth of Lib
erty Bonds and other negotiable Sc
curities which were in the vault, but
not locked up in the safs.
The robbers were seen at work in
the bank about five o'clock by Attor-
ney Parke M. Banta, who has his Office
in the bank building, and Mr.. F. J..
Flynn, as they were on their way to
the depot to make the early train
Mr.. Banta, wanting some papers from
his Office, stopped to get them, and
saw the front door of the banking room
open and the men moving about with
in. His appearance alarmed the rob-
bers, and they made hurried get
away in large touring car, in which
they came, leaving behind them the
gas tanks, while Messrs. Banta and
Flynn were rousing Sheriff Casey. The
car escaped out of town going north,
and the Sheriff phoned to officers at
De Soto to be on the watch for it. He
was notified from there about nine
o'clock that the car had been found
abandoned in Big River bottom, on
the road between here and De Soto.
The bank is fully insured against it's
loss, which is being determined by
checking up its books.

From Near Arcadia Heights.

The recent rains have very much re-
vived pastures and the stock range,
which should keep stock, without feed,
until late in December, if snow does
not fall before that time. This will
mean much to farmers; since there
was practically no corn raised in this
immediate locality.
Albert Kuhn, the butcher at IrontoD,
was out here last week and purchased
from j. I. Patterson very fine six
months old calf
Our neighbor, Fred Russell, has been
"making" sorghum molasses the past
two weeks. He always "turns out"
choice grade of molasses, and, of
course, finds ready sale for some.
Mr.. Stephens, who lives on Marble
Greek, informs us that he and his wife
will spend the winter some where in
the South, not st, Louis, as we stated in
our last communication to the REGIS
TER. They twill return to their farm
about wheat harvest" he informs us.
1t appears that the clash between
capital. and labor is getting fierce, and
it is highly probable that the end of
the trouble is long way off Presi-
dent Wilson has very truly said, "We
cannot live our right life as nation or
achieve our proper success as an in
dividual community, if capital and
labor are to continue to be antagonis-
tic instead of partners" Just how to
make capital and labor "partners,o
instead Of ''antagonistic,n is indeed
a very knotty problem.
The high cost of living, like the
Dutchman said about his sick wife,
sis getting no better fast.n The fact
of the matter is, it is nothing short of
broad'daylight robbing; an instance at
point: Corn is selling at 81 40 per bus
hel, of 56 pounds, and meal is selling
for 50 so per bushel of 48 pounds; the
difference of eight pounds will more
than pay for the grinding of the corn,
hence some one is making $1.2O clear
profit on every bushel sold. The ten
sion now of the high cost of living has
about reached its extreme limits; a
great crash is sure to come Action and
reaction are equal, and always in op-
posite direction.
Only last week, your writer was
charged Is cents per pound for sugar,
and was informed, by the merchant
who sold the sugar, that it would
''soon go up to 20 cents per pound by
the sack;n when the fact of the mat
ter is, sugar, in st. Louis, has not been
much, if any, above II cents per
pound by the sack.
Your correspondent, "Isaac,n some
time ago said he would, if necessary,
shoulder his gun to help lower the H.

It is with profound sorrow that we
learn of the death of Miss Hester
Price, who died in in st. Louis last
week. She was the daughter of j. II.
Price of Belleview, and had been
making her home in st. Louis for the
last few years. We have known her
since her childhood days; we lived as
neighbors to her parents in Belleview,
and we never knew more worthy,
kind hearted young lady than she.
Oar sympathy goes out to her father,
brothers, and sisters, who are left to

And next month there will be an

Gracefully Accepts Defeat.
lpiedmont Banners

Here is the, Ironton's REGISTERS
story of the basket ball game last Fri
day afternoon: "Piedmont's first team
journeyed to Ironton Friday, but it
failed to "vindicate" and the result
was NOT another story of Piedmont
vict ory.' Ironton won the contest by
a score of So to Is, and Piedmont's
proud first team wsarily wended its
way homeward with it's eolors trailing
in the humiliating dust of defeat"
AS no abili has been furnished the
Banner, we can't say a word. Tt is
greatly humiliating to have the repre-
sentatives of our school defeated after
having such splendid advance notice
as the Banner gave them prior to their
trip to Ironton and it is hoped thai
the future holds better things in store
for US.

How Light Changes Shape
Of Pupil Of Eye Of Both
Animal and the Human

Nothing IL more deceptive than the
appearance of q cats eye. The pupil
ordinarily appears as u long, narrow
oval or a vertical black line, yet rs
natural shape Is circular. It Is matter
of the effect of light In bright light
our pupils become very small circles,
while those Of cat turn into Ovals or
narrow slits. The general effect is the
same in either case-namely, 10 d.
miniSh the quantity Of light passing
into the eye. Curiously enough, in the
larger animals Of the cat tribe, such
as tigers, the pupil sometimes behaves
exactly like q human pupil, and when
brightly Illuminated contracts into n
minute circle instead of becoming
linear. In the case Of domestic cats,
the older the animal the more FIRE.
qEently does the pupil Of the eye as.
