Time is the best test Of truth.
Here is Barbourville story that
has stood the test of time. II is a
story with a point which will come
straight home to many Of us.
Mrs. Bertha Steele, Pitzer Street,
says: II have used Doan's Kidney
Pills and gladly recommend them.
My back was so weak could hardly
do anything. felt run down and
miserable. The acton Of my kidneys
was irregular and my ankles and
limbs became swollen. used Doan's
Kidney Pills from the Costellow
Drug Store and they helped me by
relieving the backaches and other
symptoms of kidney trouble"
Mrs. Steele gave the above state
ment on November 6, 1915, and on
March IL, 1921, she added: 81 have
not taken Doan's Kidney Pills for a
long time. They have so strengthen
ed my back and kidneys that l am
free from the trouble. I very gladly
confirm the statement I made in
praise of Doan's in 1916"

fact that they have to pay a con-
siderable higher price for it.
In France and Belgium corn
finds little favor as human food,
but is used for stock to a large
extent. Argentine corn is pre-
ferred because the grain is small
er and, therefore, better adapt
ed for poultry feed than the
American corn, which must be
cracked. 1t is also claimed that
the Argentine corn is sweeter,
and on that account preferable
for horses; and, furthermore,
that it keeps longer because it
