Does Your Back Ache?
Bad Backs Bring Suffering to Many
McCOnneIsville Folks

Is that dull and constant backache
making you old and miserable? Does
your back throb and ache until il
seems you just can't keep going? Do
you suffer headaches, dizzy spells
and urinary disorders; feel weak,
tired and WORKOUT? Then look to
your kidneys. Delay may mean SER
ious kidney sickness. Use Doan's
Pills-a stimulant diuretic to the
kidneys. Doan's are recommended
by McConnelsville folks.
Mrs. Lucy Cunningham, Liberty
St., McConnelsville, says: "My back
ached and when I got up, it was so
lame, / could hardly move. Dull
pains across my back ran me down
and sweeping and busting were hard
on me. I tired easily and often
dizzy spells came over me when
dark spots danced before my eyes,
blurring my sight My kidneys were
weak and active. After using Doan's
Pills, which I got at Sears phar.
macy, / was relieved"
Mrs. Cunningham is only one d
many McConnelsville people who
have gratefully endorsed Doan's
Pills. If your back aches-if your
kidneys bother you, don't simply ask
for a kidney remedy-ask distinctly
for DOAN'S PILLS, the same that
Mrs. Cunningham had-the remedy

Ancient Spanish City
Holds Open-Air Court

Justice. swift and certain, is
melted out every Thursday morn
ing at the Tribunal de las Aquas,
or the Court of the Waters. in the
Spanish city Of Valencia. The
courtroom is the pavement, open
to the blue sky, and has been thus
for five centuries. The judges
bench is Il sofa, appearing from
some mysterious hiding place, and
a portable iron railing provides the
bar of justice. There are seven
judges. The plaintiff makes his
statement, then the defendant
states his side of the case. Any
interruption brings fine. One
Judge announces the verdict and
there is nc appeal from the deei-
sion. Neither the government of
Spain nor that of Valencia has any
part in the court, yet they honor
its acts. None of the decisions is
ever recorded and no lawyers are
permitted to appear before the
iudges.-National Geographic So

hung in front of the n. Main street

party consisting of Lefty" Adams,

AS usual the stories of deer
missed and deer brought home are
going their rounds. To date the
yarn concerning Freebooter John

record breaker.
Tomlin was hunting in the back
woods as driver, one who frigh-
tens the deer toward the men with
guns. when a wounded buck re.
fused to be frightened, and came
towards the Freebooter.
Seeing the animal was injured, he
seized il by the horns, and rode it
cowboy fashion for more than
quarter Of mile before he finally
brought il down. Only the fact that
the animal could not use its hoofs
gave him courage to attack it. he
declared later.

The Higher Life

What ! know is that there is
more in life than anything man can
do or say, that there is an immor-
tai spirit whose history, whose
struggles, whose victories and de-
feats give the whole meaning to
this life which is only one short
paragraph in the book of that
greater life. These are our fleshly
conditions and we must obey them,
but through them. always, we must
be waiting, listening, forever at at
tentiOn to catch the movement
OF that other life. Your honor, your
courage, Your sacrifice, your gen
tleness, kindness, if YOU lose these
things YOU had as well be q sleeps

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 1. P)-Sena- tor Borah told the students of the Uni versity of Minnesota "the only way to settle the prohibition question is to submit it to the vote of the people. There is no reason why we should dis obey our laws as long as it is within the power of the people to change them. The United States is the most lawless nation in the civilized world and it's people failed to observe the eighteenth amendment.

William Jewett Tucker was born in Griswold, Conn, July 13, 1889, the son of Henry and Sarah Lester) Tucker. He prepared for college at Meriden and entered Dartmouth with the class of 1861. Following his graduation he taught school at Laconia, N. H., and Columbus, Ohio, and in 1863 entered Andover Theologicay Seminary to study for the ministry Tn 1867, after his graduation from Andover and his ordination in the Congregational Min istry, Dr. Tucker entered ministerial work as pastor of the Franklin Street church of Manchester, N. H., where he established a reputation as young preacher of exceptional brillance. Tn 1867 he was called to the Madison Square Presbyterian church, of New York City, where he remained until 1880 when he accepted the chair of homiletics in Andover Seminary. At Andover he became known as a re- markable teacher, and to him was due in great measure the liberality of re- ligious teaching which made Andover vital force in the world of. theology. Dr. Tucker was a founder and editor of the Andover Reviews, and the And over House movement in Boston was largely due to his personal efforts.
 Before assuming the Presidency of Dartmouth in 1893 Dr. Tucker had served for IA years as a member of the Dartmouth Board of Trustees, and had twice previously been elected to the presidency, each time declining the election because his conception of duty led him to value more highly the work which he was doing in the nfin- istry. In 1876, at the death of Presi- dent Asa Dodge Smith, Dr. Tucker was asked to assume the leadership of the college, and again in 1892, dir
