DO 1T NOW!
Edgerton People Should Not Wait
Until Tt Is Too Late.

The appalling death rate from kid
ney disease is due in most cases to the
fact that the little kidney troubles are
usually neglected until they become
serious. The slight symptoms often
give place to chronic disorders and the
sufferer may slip gradually into some
serious form of kidney complaint.
If you suffer from backache, head
aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney secre-
tions are irregular of passage, do not
delay. Help the kidneys at once.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
for kidney disorders-they act where
others fail. Over one hundred thou
sand people have recommended them.
Here is one of many cases in this
vicinity.

What is probably the largest price
ever paid for a single farm in this
vicinity was given recently by L. H.

Drivers of automobiles should re-
member that the car being approached
on the right always has the right of
way. Last Saturday afternoon Arnold
Maxwell drove his Buick into Ford
sedan at the old Fort hotel corner. Ar
mold was driving south on S. Main St.
and the owner of the Ford, a stranger
here, was driving into the square from
w. Milwaukee Ave. Although the
Ford had the right of way, Arnold, who
did not know the rule of the road, kept
on going. AS a result the cars crashed
together and the Ford was quite badly
damaged.

ing found body that presumably was

of Fellows station. The body proved
to be that of a man named Frederick
Heitzman, 1. farm laborer who had
been working for Fred Benash. 1t is
presumed that he was struck by train
No. 528. which was a little late that
morning. Heitzman had driven the
cattle to pasture across the track and
it is thought that he was on the way
back when he was struck. AS the
weather was extremely foggy at that
time, the train crew knew nothing OF
his being hit. The man killed was 65
years of age. His remains were taken
to GAINESVILLE by Coroner Whaley, where
the deceased has sister and sister
in-law.
