How a Veteran W?« Saved the Ampu-
tation of A Limb.
B, Frank Doremus, veteran, of j
Roosevelt Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., j
says: "I had been j
showing symptoms of |
kidney trouble from j
the time 1,/aas mus- !
tered out of the army, j
but in all my life I
never suffered as in
1897. Headaches, dlz- I
ziness and sleepless- !
ness, first, and then
dropsy. I was weak
and helpless, having
run down from 180 to 125 pounds. 1
was having terrible pain in the kid-
neys, and the secretions passed almost
Involuntarily. My left leg swelled un-
til it was 34 inches around, and the
doctor tapped it night and morning
until I could no longer stand it, and
then he advised amputation. I refused,
and began using Doan's Kidney Pills.
Tho swelling subsided gradually, the
urine became natural and all my pains
and aches disappeared. I have been
well now for nine years since using
Doan's Kidney Pills."

The man who is always in a hurry
to be the first to "lay by" a crop is
generally the man who has to buy | w

One problem that the farmers of

during the last four years is whether j
machinery can be made to take, tho
place of high priced and unsatisTae- (
tory labor and whether or not ma-
chinery is the cheaper. The old two- ,
man crew of pitc hing hay i-iber on

and the resulting work i~ just as sat- S

work. If a farmer is willing to in- i
vest a little his of money in machfn- j
ery Instead of labor he will get re- I

Fellow Passenger.
A couple recently married had just
entered the train that was to bear
them to the mountains on their honey-
moon, when they became aware of the
closo scrutiny of them by a female pas-
senger, who had evidently "spotted" a
bride and groom. The young wife, on
opening her handbag, let fall some
rice on tho floor, and the T'oiran
smiled. The other passengers regard-
ed the couple with interest. String
that the bride was every moment be-
coming more flushed and uncomfort-
able by reason of their scrutiny, the
woman in the goodness of her heart,
leaned across the carriage.
"Never mind, my dear!" she said.

tween the boy and his mother, just
as if they'd achieved some kind of a
victory or other.
"Well, the boy executed bis usual
disappearance soon after dinner, and
then, allowing me to burn up just
one cigar, my wife began to hustle
and bustle me around, and presently
we were on our way to the May serv-
ices*
"'Fine work for you, little lady,
| said 1 to the boy's mother. Do you
know how many years it's been
since I attended May evening serv-
ices?' .
! " Please don't tell me.' said she.
1 I don't want to hear. And don't ever
1 say nn> thing like that before the chil-
dred—you know how they notice
these chance remarks,' and with that
we were inside the cool, fragrant
church and on our way up the center
aisle to the pew.
"Well, well, what® a long
stretch of years that fragrance
took me back across—that min-
gled fragrance of roses and
drifting incense. Noticed it the min-
ute I set foot within ttie church—
first the smell of the roses that were
heaped up on the main altar and on
the side altar, and then, as we got in-
side. that other aroma of the Incense.
I I declare that those two fused frag-
rances—and they go mighty well to-
gether, if you've ever noticed—just
clean picked me up and set me back
on the road a good 30 years, and a
good bit of that road right haid going
