The appalling death-rate from kid
ney disease is due largely 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 COM
plant.
If you suffer from backache, head
aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney Sc
cretions are irregular of passage do
no 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's case at home:
Mrs. Philip Steele, 1919 5th St.,
Monett, says: 81 used to suffer a
great deal with backache and sharp
pains through the small of my back.
Ny kidneys would be put out of order
at these times and acted irregularly.
However, Doan's Kidney Pills always
cured me of these attacks in a short
time. l have also given Doan's to
one of my children when she has been
bothered with kidney trouble. They
always give the same good results"

Risk and G. Latta Star
Risk played the star defensive of
the game. G. Latta was the strong
man in the Carthage backfeld. Rey-
maud was unquestionally the shining
light of the Monet aggregation and
of the game, his offensive and defen-
sive playing together overshadowing
Risks work at end. Two and three
Monett players were stationed at
times to get the Carthage end and
captain but he made things disagree
able for the opposing backfield at all
times.
The Monett aggregation, consider
ably lighter than Carthage, played an
enviable game and showed unsur-
passed team work-the aggregation
operating Off the most part like well
oiled machine. Such an aggregation
as Monet has is worthy of cham
pionship at anytime and it is seldom
equalled in High school football.

'WE BEAT OURSELVES"
SAYS WALKER

Monett people are all interested ir
( the manner in which Carthage tool
their defeat in the Monett- Carthage
football game. The Carthage Press
Of Monday evening, speaks of the
game thus:
eve beat ourselves" Coach Walker
declared today in discussing the game
The Carthage team did not put up as
good an exhibition of football as ii
has done in previous games, in his
opinion, and there were several mis-
takes made. On top of all this Mo
nett got all the breaks.
Carthage Fought Hard
At that, Monett was lucky to win.
The Carthage team fought every yard
of the way. Monett scored on one
occasion when Reynaud went through
the Carthage backfeId for a 40-yard
run, the only time that he was able
to get away throughout the game,
and scored its only other touchdown
after the ball virtually had been plac-
ed from the Carthage 38-yard line
12yards from the center of the field
on to the four-yard line by two pen
alties of 19 yards and Is yards, re-
spectively.
While Monet carried the ball to the
vicinity OF the Carthage 20-yard line
on two or three occasions, they never
got the ball in position for Reynaud
to so much as use his educated toe for
drop kick, play which has added
renown to the classy halfback in prev
ious games of the season.
Loss of Moore Fatal
A thing that in the minds Of all
persons familiar with the make up of
the Carthage squad really spelled de-
feat for Carthage was the loss of
Moore at fullback just at the close of
the first half. Many Carthage rooters
and no doubt many of the players felt
things slipping when it became APP
parent he would not go back in the
second half. ....
1t was the one contingency that had
been foreseen as dangerous to Car
thage's chances. With Johnson,
the only only substitute full back,
carrying his arm in sling from in
juries received in the game with
Webb City, there was no one to take
Moore's place and the gap was one
that could not be filled. Plainly the
Carthage eleven in the second half
was at disadvantage. @
The loss of Reynaud by Monett in
the last Of the third quarter, evened
until the Carthage team was
able to put over one touchdown in the
fourth quarter, but it was not enough
and there was not time to repeat the
performance, although Carthage

DAY NURSERY drive
ASKS PUBLIC TO GIVE
ONLY USELESS WASTE

Fearing that some persons may have
been misled in the distribution OF
sacks in the Day Nursery Waste cam
paign members of the committee IN
charge of the drive Saturday reiter-
ated their announcement that anyone
who did not get sack can put old
rags in any kind of sach or tie them
securely in a bundle.
It has been requested that magazines
and papers be placed in separate bun
dies. This is asked because more
money is received by the pound for
magazines than for paper.
No sacks will be collected before
Thursday, Oct. 81, and persons who
contribute are asked not to put their
bags of waste out to be collected be-
fore that date.
Money realized from the sale of the
waste will be used to defray expenses
of nurses at the nursery, which per-
forms a useful function in the com
munity by caring for the children of
mothers who must work, and, in addi-
ton to providing day home for the
tots, teaches them how to be useful in
the home and inculcates habits OF
cleanliness and hygiene.
The campaign has been endorsed by
every person who has been approach
ed and has been particularly commend
ed by Fire Chief Miller, who points
out that in addition to helping the
children, generous contributions will
reward the givers in that they will be
running much less risk of fire by clear
ing their houses and premises Of
waste.

Richmond. Indiana.
My Dear Sir
The township assessors and the
members of the board of review in
your county as well as yourself as
county assessor have my fluctuations
for their efforts in getting a fair as
sessment of personal property in your
county. This year was difficult for
taxing officers all over the state and
am particularly gratified with the fair
ness of the officers in your county who
have endeavored to be fair and
square" and give each property owner
d square deal. If | have in any way
aided you | am pleased but my thank
fitness is to your local officers who
have performed an almost thankless
task so fairly that your county is one
of the half of the counties in Indiana
that did its duty without action of the
state board. Please express my ap-
probation to each one who helped in
the work as you may meet them.
Best wishes,
n X. TODD.
