weaken and injure the kidneys until
they fall behind In their work of fill
tering the poisons from the blood.
Eoan's Kidney Pills are fro weak kid
neys and bad backs. Their effective
work In Madison is convincing proof
Of merit.
Mrs. Chas. Martin, COL Third st..

Fills with very good results and am
glad to endorse them. My kidneys
were In bad shape and I had dull, tir-
Ing backaches. My work wore me
All out and I had no energy. My
kidneys acted irregularly, too. A

you kindly reproduce the article In

manner Of running towns and cities
is behind the times, obsolute, and
worn out, and too expensive for the

get better results at less expense we
should do what the other towns and

LITTLE IMPROVEMENTS

NORMAL CONDITIONS


Things are picking up around
Punta Gorda again, ana II looks al
|if period Of development and pro-
gress il ahead of the town. Not be-
cause any great things have been
done recently, but there are multi
tude of little things, which like the
straws. show the way the wind is
blowing.
During the past four weeks nearly
every business establishment In the
town has undergone some improve
ments. Nearly all have had neat.
bright signs lettered; the fronts and
insfdes of stores have been painted
and in number OF cases alterna-
tions, repairs and enlargements have
been or are being made. indicating
that business is good generally aud
that everyone Is looking forward to
even better times in the future.
The addition to Smiths block is
nearly finished, and it Ii understood

LOCAL STORES READY
TO SUPPLY XMAS GIFT
WANTS OF HOME FOLK
HAVE BIGGER. BETTER STOCKS
THAN EVEN BEFORE
No Need For Punta Gorda People to
Go Elsewhere to do Their
Christmas Buying

Nearly all of Punta Gorda's stores
have donned special dresses for the
holiday season and are prettier and
more inviting this season than ever
before. Many have special displays of
their holiday goods, and with a
wealth of appropriate decorations
and special lighting effects, fairly
breathe the spirit of Christmas.
Business has been good during the
present season and local merchants
expect this Christmas to bring the
biggest trade they have ever enjoyed.
In preparation for the expected de-
mand, they have stocked a greater
variety of holiday goods and greater
quantities than in any previous sea-
son.
There is no need for any resident
of Punta Gorda going to other towns
to do their Christmas shopping this
year, as there are but very few
things the average person would
want or need that cannot be procured
in the local stores. Nearly all the
local stores are represented in the
advertising columns of the Herald
this week, and it is hoped that Punta
Gorda people will patronize them lib
orally. 1t is good business to pat
ronize the merchant who advertises,
for those who advertise are the ones
that want your trade and appreciate
it enough to give you good goods
and good service in order that you
will come again. Patronize the home
merchants, but if you simply cannot
get what you need here, patronize
the other stores that are carrying
advertisements in the Herald. The
Herald does not admit any but re-
liable advertisers to its columns and
you may depend upon fair dealing
when you patronize those represent

Sworn to Stop Disloyalty and

Nampa, May 3.-Bolshevists. So
cialists and l. w. WIS, who attempt to
start any form of lawlessness or DEM
onstration of disloyalty TO the govern
ment in the Boise valley may find
themselves firmly resisted by the Can
yon County War Veterans association.
for that organization is committed by
Its constitution to uphold the consti-
tuition of the United States and to OPP
pose all enemies OF the government,
whether domestic or foreign.
The members of the organization
have declared their purpose of fight
ing disloyalty and sedition in whatso-
ever form they develop. The member
ship oath of the organization binds its
members to this course and leaders of
the organization ridicule the idea that
eympathizers of the Reds" would get
very far in any effort to hold parade
in any city or town in southern Idaho.
They declare that the majesty Of
the law will be maintained in the Boise
valley and that disloyal abuse of the
courts will not be tolerated. Their
firm stand Is the result of the send
ing of bombs throughout the nation and
the camouflaged condonement of it by
certain newspapers.
