Ask your neighbour! Plenty OF Min

E. j. Davis, $40 Pine St., Mineral
Point, says: Il have used Doan's
Kidney Pills on many different oc-
casions when suffering from MY Kid
neys and they have always brought
the best of results. My back has
been painful at times and it hurt me
to stoop or straighten. My feet
swelled and I knew my kidneys were
in bad shape. | got a couple boxes
of Doan's Kidney Pills at the Rexall
store and after using them my
troubles left me. Any time cold
has settled on my kidneys, | have
simply taken a few Doan's and they
have never failed me. | gladly en-
dorse Doan's Kidney Pills and |
know they can be depended upon.

Guard Against Worthless Charts

Expensive and practically worth
less charts are again being sold by
agents in some of the counties of the
state. School boards in many dis
tricts have purchased these charts
without receiving the approval of
them by their county superintendent
Or the State superintendent. BY
purchasing these charts without the
approval of one of the mentioned a.
gencies boards make themselves Ii
able for their payment. Often the
district that is poorest equipped with
supplementary readers and seat work
material is the one that is furnished
with these expensive, useless charts

Successful Country Newspaper

''Above all else, the country news
paper, to my way Of thinking, must
reflect the majority interests of its
readers, and in the country field
with few exceptions interests
are agricultural. A country editor
who gives a half column, front page,
to the account of the Ladies Aid So
cable in the town church parlors last
Tuesday night, and half stick on
the inside page to the fact that Far
mer Smith of Hanover Four Corners
has bought a pedigreed herd of Hol-
stems, has got the wrong slant. The
ruling business thought in the coun-
try is agriculture, and the live news
paper is the one that reflects that
thought. Robert Welles Richie in
