How to act in an emergency is
knowledge of inestimable worth,
and this is particularly true of the
diseases and ills of the human body.
If YOU suffer with kidney backache,
urinary disorders, or any form OF
kidney trouble, the advice contained
in the following statement should
add a valuable asset to your store
of knowledge. What could be more
convincing proof of the efficiency OF
Doan's Kidney Pills than the state
ment of McConnelsville citizen
who used them and who publicly
tells of the benefit derived?
H. M. Cochran, cigar manufactur-
ar Main ST., McConnelsville, says:
"My kidneys were weak and the Sc
cretions contained sediment and my
back ached. I used Doan's Kidney
Pills, which I got at the Stanbery
Pharmacy and they strengthened
nv back and restored my kidneys to
normal condition"
PERMANENT BENEFIT
Six years later, Mr.. Cochran said:

to use a kidney medicine since, as
have never felt any return OF the
former trouble" :.

In the fall of 1919 something
new was undertaken at M. e M.
high school. 1t was the formation
of two literary societies, the Adel
phian and the Athenian. The pur-
pose of the literary societies was to
train the student to think on his
feet, to get him over "stagefright.
In a large measure they have sue
ceded. Much approval has been
passed on his system and many re-
grets were expressed because they
were not formed earlier.
The societies started out with
much enthusiasm, the officers and
members uniting in fine team work.
But periods of decline in interest
have been noticeable. The new Of
flcers are filled with determina-
ton to make literary activity one of
the livest things at M. & M. They
should have the support of every
student. The presence of the pub
lie at programs and contests is an
encouraging thing. 1t is predicted
that the coming year will be one OF
the most energetic in literary ac-
tivities, and the old interest and en-
thusiasm will be present not only
at the contest, but at each program
This work should have the sup
port of all, for it is one of the most
beneficial things M. & M. has ever
had. 1t is of more Importance than
athletics.
