GOING 1T TO HARD?

Overwork, worry, overeating and
lack of exercise and sleep are respons
ible for much kidney trouble. If your
back aches and the kidneys seem
weak, rest up and use DOan's Kidney
Pills.
r. N. Parkinson, farmer, r. F. D.,
No. 4 Mineral Point, says: II do
heavy work on the farm all the time
and one day while lifting a heavy
rack, got a catch across the center
of my back. 1t put me past going for
several days and my kidneys were in
bad shape. / knew something would
have to be done to check the disorder
so l got Doan's and used them as di-
recteL. They drove every symptom
of the trouble away and gave me
more strength and better health gen
orally. My kidneys have never both
cred me since and I feel as though
am doing the right thing in recon-
mending Doan's to others"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get

The London Cockney.

AS used by writer's of the Eliza
bethan period, the word "cockney"
meant a mollycoddle, or child that
had been coddled too much by It's
mother. Then, because men who lived
in the city were supposed to be less
virile and strong than those who hVed
in the country, the rural population
began to apply the term TO the resi-
dents of London and other cities.
Gradually this meaning was restrict
ed and localized until it was under
stood as being applicable only 20 Lon
doners. The opposite term-the one
applied by townsmen to the farmer
was Clown" meaning an uncouth'
ill-bred man.
Today the name of cockney is ap-
piled to Londoners generally, but more
particularly to people of certain
class. The London cockney may not
always be we'll educated or refined in
his speech, but he is not mollycoddle.

PHONE WORKED TOO WELL
important Message That Came
From ST. Louis.

The telephone has frequently played
its part in catching thieves, but here's
a case in which it was almost in
strumental in letting a man accused
of embezzlcment go unmOlested-and
all because it did it's work SO well!
The telephone in the New York
detective headquarters rang one morn
ing recently and voice said, "This is
Detective Awkward of st. Louis, speak
ing" The voice asked the arrest Of
a certain man who had gone to one
Of the New York hotels, and that he
be held for further instructions.
SO clear was the tone as the man
made his request that the police were
at first in doubt as to whether the
call could have come all the way from
St. Louis and were inclined to the
theory that they were being hoaXed
by some New York practical joker.
However, detectives were sent out to
make tour Of the hotels of the city
and in the meantime further particu-
lars arrived from st. Louis.
The man was finally located and
when arrested had in his possession
$4,000, according to the police. The
charge against him in st. Louis was
the embezZlement Of $4,000 and re
ceiving stolen property.

Find Gold Under Fossils.

In Alaska the bones, and often the
entire bodies, of extinct animals, such
as the mammoth, the mastodon, the
reindeer and the bison, are found
most abundantly in the layers Of soil
directly above the gold-bearing gravels.
SO intimate is this association between
fossil animal remains and the aurifer-
Gus deposits that many. explorers who
have visited Alaska say that the fos-
sis serve the prOspectOrs as Indexes
of the metallic richness of the soil.
In ancient times both the gold and
the bones and bodies of the animals
were deposited at the bottom of valleys
by the action of rivers and smaller
streams, many Of which have now
disappeared. Consequently, the ap-
pearance of fossils is an almost certain
indication that gold will be found in
the neighborhood. The cabins of many
miners are Ornamented with huge tusks
and antlers, unearthed in the dig
gings.

a bathing suit can ever be described
as stately, here is one that is entitled
to that adjective. 1t demonstrates
that the bathing suit de luxe is not a

suits OF this kind are easy to remodel

more than one season. Black and navy
blue are the best in colors, but certain
shades of dark brown and dark gray

sharp Run.Up In studebaksr

A number Of traders who have been
rcaplng large profits by selling short
stoeks Of companies which have been
announcing capital readjustments and
declaring stock dividends tried their
hand with Studebakor yesterday on the
theory that with the news concerning
the 25 per cent stock dividend made
nublic the price Of the present issue
would decline. They soon found, how.
ever, that they had been selling into a
bag, and once they tried 60 cover they
discovered that this could not be done
without bidding up sharply the price
Of the stock. The short covering move.
ment became more urgent IN the iast

Middle states Oil

presented by the situation existing IN

recent declaration Of a stock dividend
In oil Lease Development shares, pay
fblo TO Middle States stockholders on
January /. Middle States will sell Tex,
the stock dividend on December 10, and
tho Street is wondering what action
will be taken By those who have sold
tho stock short. In the ordinary course
OF events the shorts would hAve 20 de-
liver the stock dividend along With the
Middle States stock they are short OF,
but as there is no present market for
oil Lease Development shares, the
question arises, how are they going TO
do this? Under the stock dividend plan
Middle States stockholders will receive
three shares Of Oil Lease Development
for each 100 shares held.
