THAT MORNING LAMENESs

If you are lame every morning, and suffer urinary ills, there must be cause. Often it's weak kidneys, To strengthen the weakened kidneys and avert more serious troubles, use Doans Kidney Pills. You can rely on this testimony.
 Mrs. c. M. Clifford, Wallace St, De- Queen, Ark, says: About two years ago, I had a dull, steady ache in the small of my back, I felt stiff and lame when I got up in the morning and sometimes a sharp pain caught me in my back when I stopped or lifted, suffered from dizzy spells and head aches and felt languid and worn-out. There were puffy sacs under my eyes and sometimes my ankles swelled. used kidney remedy, but found little benefit until took Doans Kidney pills. They helped me quickly and I got 8 more boxes.

ADVANTAGES OF SMALL TOWN
For One Thing. the Helping Hand ls
Never Withheld From Man
Who Is Worthy.

"a man coming back to a small
town to make his pile will find every
advantage" says William D. Pelley
in Peoples Magazine. 1.-THE friendly
attitude of the country banker, the
well wishes and interest of his neigh
bors, the good Will of a public which
only asks that he render a service in
order to get quick recognition. Time
and again, as editor Of a small town
daily paper, I have been overwhelmed
by watching some newcomer in the
community open a store or build a
factory or start in a profession, and
noting how quick was the response
on the part of my townspeople. They
are very human folk. these townspeo-
pie. They are quick to discover if a
man has Interior motives, whether he
Is feathering his OWL nest first and
looking after the public interest last.
And that is the reason many a man
returns to the city knocking the coun-
try town. He has tried to put some
thing over and failed. He has found
his clientele not at all the hicks and
rubes he judged them. And having
turned the tables on him, he abuses
them rOundly."

Think 1t Over.

Think it over yourself, today, as
you plan for the coming months. In
private or public affairs, in business
or social Or family matters, seek out
what points of friction there may be
and drop upon them the soothing oil
of common sense. Remember that the
community is only a collection of in
terdependent units and that a single
selfish act of yours may defange an
incalculable number of your fellow
beings and thereby propel the whole
a shade nearer to that condition OF
chaos that every reasoning person
must regard with horror. Avoid all
senseless and suicidal strife, no mat
ter of what character, and learn to
co-operate.-Bermuda Colonist.

NEW STRENGTHENING PLAN
Kansas City Authorities Believe They
Have an improvement on the
Cluster Effect.

Something new in the way of street
lights is planned for Baltimore avenue
by property between Twelfth
street and Southwest boulevard, says
the Kansas City Star. When the street
has been widened and paved the own
ers propose to break away from the
"cluster'' effect that has been sought
on other streets where "bright ways"
have been established. And, incident
ally, they plan to have the "lightest
street" in the city.
The accompanying illustration shows
the style of light and standard the
property owners have adopted. 1t is
the same style used along Michigan
avenue in Chicago-a single pear

shaped opaque globe on a graceful re-
enforced concrete standard. There
will be SO such lights on widened Bal
-timore avenue and the council already
has passed an ordinance authorizing
them.
The light will be "staggered' at APP
proximately 1OO-foot intervals. Tests
show that with the internal refectors
the single light will give greater eth
cheney than the old-tiashioned clus-
tiers.

He had gone but a few steps
when he pulled up sharp and
turned to q little man who had
touched him on the arm. The man
was respectfully dressed, and his

within half an hour they drew up

then:

tives or friends; and until we. TOO.

camp by now. God grant they have
met with no mishap."
The Marquis de Dartigny slept
but little that night. The wind
moaned dismally around the caves
OF the old buildings and whistled
through the orchard. He thought
OF the man he had seen in the room
downstairs, and in his imagination
he saw the white face gazing UP
from the sodden grass, staring with
uuseeing eyes through the bios
SONS and leaves Of the apple trees,
But Remy do Paramount had no
such morbid fancies. His tale
would be good to relate at the next
meeting in the Rue des Csnettes,
and be slept like child, his hand
clasped loosely round the stock OF
the pistol with the nine notches.
Two days after the happenings
at the "Croix d'Argent" a little
party could have been seen leaving
the back door OF the Tavern de la
Lune" at Fecamp. The little Syl-
via, barely awake, lay IN the arms
OF the old Marquis Susan, stolid
as ever, carried the rugs and the
small chest, which contained a por-
tion Of the wealth OF the Dartignys,
and which had been safer in
Susan's care than that OF the men,
Remy was there, too and small,
dark man, with rings in his ears,
who led them down the steep path
between the gorse-covered rocks
to the little silver crescent OF sand.
By order OF the authorities all
sailing craft had to be unrigged
each night, but here, beneath a
rock, a small rowing-boat lay IN
waiting; the oars had been buried
near by in the sand, but now lay
ready to hand.
The sea was steel-sray before
them, its surface cut up into little
waves by the wind that was blow
ing from the shore. The eastern
sky was aglow with opal and she'll
pink. Halt mile from shore and
almost hidden in the mists OF the
morning a chasse~ marie rode at
anchor, her three masts showing
family.
Remy watched the little party
embark, waving to them as. under
the strong strokes Of the oarsmen,
they sped toward the vessel. Then,
when the mists had swallowed
them up, he turned and set his
face toward Paris.
