That Morning Lameness

If you are lame every morning, and
suffer urinary ills, there must. be a
cause. Often it's weak kidneys. To
strengthen the weakened kidneys and
avert smore serious troubles, use
Doan's Kidney Pills. Ask your
neighbor! You can rely on Els
worth testimony.
Mrs. Emily Gray, Elm street, Ellis
worth, says Three years ago l was
in pretty bad shape with my back and
kidneys and my bladder was also af-
fected. had awful bad pains across
my back and was always worse when
1 first got up in the morning. 1t was
hard matter to dress myself, I was
so lame. l would also be dizzy and
had bad headaches. Large circles
appeared around my eyes and the
flesh underneath my eyes would puff
up. l had known about people who
had been benefited by Doan's Kidney
Pills, so got two boxes at Alex
ander's Pharmacy and when I had
finished taking them my troubles
were ended. 1 gladly recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills to other suf-
ferers."

Whipping Straps Don't Sell.

Whipping straps have become all
most drug on the market in this gem
Grafton of humanity to children. The
sight Of peddler of whipping straps,
common enough In the good old days
SO much lamented. is very rare in our
degenerate times.
Nevertheless the East side still uses
the straps to certain extent 1t was
at Orchard and Rivington streets that
one of the survivors Of the chastisng
business, an aged Jewish man., was
found loaded down with his punitive
stock In trade.
Zach, what life, what a life" he
exclaimed, in answer to query as to
how he was making out. 1T used to
be once that poor old man like my
self could go out and make good liv-
ing selling straps. But now! l can
stand here all day and not make more
than five sales.
"And it's all on account Of those re-
formers, those crazy people who
drummed it into the heads Of the par
ents that they mustn't strike their chill
dren any more. And the children, they
have too much schooling nowadays.
The teachers tell them, You must do
this and You mustn't do that and
the children go home and behave them
selves better. Ach, what life! It's

Male candidates have to be proposed
by man already admitted. You can
usually find a sponsor by taking five
minute stroll on the terrace. Ladies,
In spite OF modern movements for

two male members of the club. In
practice this presents no difficulty, and
when the further preliminary of pay

achieved you receive your carte dad
mission and are free to ascend the
stairs. Above are the gambling rooms,
an admirably conducted restaurant,

This last-named small room, with
some high chairs at the center, d
great array of bottles in the back

The bar is presided over, by AR

said, go to him not merely for tea and
cocktails and sandwiches and cigars.

ONCE UPON A TINE
THERE WERE NO DOCTORS!


Doctors Preach Prevention Is Better Than Cure.
Ninety per cent of all disease is
preventable, SO doctors say. Eat
simple food, exercise wisely, sleep
sufficiently, and-what is vitality i'm
portant-make sure of the daily,
regular, thorough elimination of
body waste, and the chances are nine
to one that you will keep well, work
efficiently and enjoy life. Bowel
elimination of food and tissue waste
is all-important. But in case of If
regularity, disordered or imperfect
action do not make the common mis-
take Of taking harsh, violently acting
medicines, with the idea of forcing
the bowels to act. Nature believes
in mild methods. She responds best
to persuasion.
So in selecting q simple remedy to
regulate and assure piper bowel
action, you should not ase harsh or
violently acting remedies, no matter
how much has been claimed for
them. You should choose some we'll
known, time tested, trial proven
remedy, that has made it's reputation
by being used for many years, by
all sorts of people, all over the world.
Take Beecham's Pills for example.
Beecham's is a household word, has
been for many generations. Beech
ans Pills is a household remedy,
has been for over half a century. People
not only take Beecham's but recon-
mend Beecham's to their friends.
Their use is handed down from
father to son or from mother to
daughter, from one generation to
another. Did you ever hear any
complaint or criticism of Beecham s?
Isn't that pretty powerful endorse
ment of their worth? Druggists
are glad to sell Beecham's.

CONTRIBUTIONS FOR

FUNDS ARE STILL COMING IN
FROM THE POST CARDS SENT
OUT TO FORMER PATIENTS.
From Fridays Daily Herald.

From Fridays Daily Herald,)
Funds are still coming into the
Kings Daughters hospital in response
to the recent appeal made by card
to all of the former patients but
there are yet many who have not
responded and it is expected that
replies will continue to be received
for some time yet.
Several hundred. dollars have been
received from these post card re
quests for q dollar each. Many have
given more than the dollar asked for
and some have given to whom the
cards were not sent. 1t was hoped
that the contributions would average
dollar for each to whom the cards
we're sent and this may be realized
when the campaign is over.
The hospital which is crowded
to capacity, even with the new add
ton. needs the funds asked for very
greatly and its friends are asked not
to delay any longer than possible the
request for funds.

EXPENSES WORK
HOUSE PAID OUT
OF ROAD MONEY
COUNTY ATTORNEY HUGH TODD
SHELTON so CONSTITUTES THE
NEW HIGHWAY ACT.
RELIEF FOR THE COUNTY FUND
Will Greatly Reduce the Deficit That
Had Been Estimated in the Ordina-
ny Expenses-Each District to Pay
for Hands Used.

(From Mondays Daily Herald)
County Attorney Hugh T. Shelton
has advised the county judge and
the county superintendent Of roads
that under the new road law all costs
for the maintenance and operation OF
the work house must hereafter be
paid out of the road funds of the coun-
ty and not out of the general county
highway fund as has been the case in
the past.
Since under the new act the road
funds of the county are distributed to
the several districts as they are paid
in, that is each district gets the full
amount Of its funds in return, the
county attorney has also held that the
expenses of the work house will be
paid out Of the district fund in which
the hands are at work. Il
This decision was rendered Satur
day afternoon to a delegation from the
sixth district that was appealing for
The work house hands for road worl;
but after it was ascertained that the
cost of the work house would be charg
ed to the road funds of that district
the delegation withdrew is applica
ton. Superintendent Burke Wilkes
says that no one seems TO want the
hands now.
The decision of the county attorney
will mean much for the county fund
it will reduce very greatly the est
mated deficit in the county treasury
for the coming year. as the worl
house in the past has been a big drail
on the county funds.
