WORDS FROM HOME
Statements That May Be Investigated

When Barton citizen comes to the
front, telling his friends and neigh
bors Of his experience, you can rely on
his sincerity. The statements Of peo-
pie residing in far away places do
not command your confidence. Home
endorsement is the kind that backs
Doan's Kidney Pills. Such testimony
Is convincing. Investigation proves
It true. Below il . statement Of .
Barton resident No stronger proof
Of merit can be had.
Charles !. Morse, farmer, Water
street, says: "a couple years ago
! used Doan's Kidney Pills when my
back and idneys were badly 1isordered
due to heavy lifting. Ny back was
very lame and sore and I found it
hard to do my work. Ny Kidneys
were weak and the secretions were
scanty in passage. i heard Of Doan's
Kidney Pills and one box from
Pierce's drug store brought relief.
After using another box they fixed me
up. My cure has been permanent and
am glad to recommend Doan's for

The Death Toll of Automobiles.

NIL 1IO1CO1
If only IL were killed by auto acct
dents in Vermont in last six months
the people of your state may well be
thankful. Out here that number is
killed almost daily through reckless
driving. It is officially reported that
2400 people have been killed in Cali
fornia by automobile accidents in the
last two and one-haf years and
largely by preventable accidents. It
is further recently reported by the
War Risk Insurance department. at
Washington that 10000 persons are
killed and injured by accidents ev-
cry day in the United States and
largely by automobiles through reck-
less speeding and carelessness. It is
appalling. A greater toll than that
claimed by war. Speeding should be
made a crime, and killing as result
murder in the first degree and pun
ished accordingly. Nothing short of
that will stamp it out. Fines have
little or no effect.

ginning to wake up.
