Results That Remain.
An Appreciated by Caldwsll
People.
Thousands who suffer from
backache and kidney complaint
bave tried one remedy after
another, finding only temporary
benefit. This is discouraging,
' but there is one kidney medicine
that has earned a reputation for
lasting results and there is plenty
of proof of its merit right here
in Caldwell.
Here is the testimony of one
who used Doan's Kidney Pills
years ago, and now makes his
testimony even stronger.
Mrs. A. P. Wailin, Caldwell,
fflexaa, says: "You may con
^tinue publishing the stagement
■Jt gave some years ago, telling
<$bout Doan's Kidney Pills. The
care they made in my case has
"been lasting. Por five years
had rheumatic pains in my bock
ao intense that I could not rest.
I could not turn in bed without
taking hold of something for

knew of, bat nothing brought to

Spring of the experience of s
Brooklyn msn wbe wHj lost s
package of vataaM Jewels which hs
was tsking to a safe deposit vault,
a dealer in gema said: "l never be-
lieve those stories until they are a
few days old, bsosnss I have known
so many Ínstanos of mispieoed jew*
elry. The last case ■ only s few
weeks old. A woman brought a little
leather bag full of rings and other
ornaments to have the stones tested
for setting before going to her eoun
try place. The next thing I heard
from the woman was one evening
when she telephoned and asked, in
an excited manner: "Can you give a
description of the jewelsr I brought
to you the other dsy T *1 csn by go-
ing to the store, where I have the rec-
ord.' 'Please do it st once. We are
all ready to go tomorrow, sad I find
that sll my jewelnr has been stolen.'
'No, it has not ' I told her; 'ifs se-
cure in my safe—never been returned

The speaker was Msyor Keutter of

to snother:
" "Would you start off on your va-

Bob replied.

HARDLY A FAIR OUMTtOM.
So keen is the rivalry between two
ondertsking estsblishments to
work from a hospital that the entire
force of employes takes a keen inter-
est in the contest. But s darkey
scrub woman, new to the institution,
did not understand this. So when
she told one of the nurses that the
patient in lfo. f had passsd away
the night the nurss replied:
so sorry, auntie. Do you
know who got himT *
