THE FARMERS ALSO PAY TOLL It is clear that a determined attempt is to be made to convince the farmer that he is not being robbed along with the rest of us. He has been held responsible for the high prices. We have been told that the retailers are forced to sell at the present exorbitant prices in order to meet the insatiable demands of the farmers. Os course no one tries to explain how it is that beef cut from American cattle slaughtered in England costs less than beef in New York. And yet that can only mean that the difference between the cost of cattle and the cost of beef here goes to some one else than the farmer. For the cattle that go to England are sold at the same prices as those slaughtered in this country. Yet on the basis of the same selling price for cattle, meat brings from 5 cents to 10 cents more a pound in New York than in London. In the News was printed a few days ago a letter from a Hendricks county farmer, in which it was shown thatl the boasted prosperity had not reached the fanners of that rich county. The plain tcuth is that there is somewhere a middleman who gets in between the farmer and the consumer and takes toll of both. Farmers can not get to the consumer any more. • * There is some one else in on the deal, and the bulk of the money goes to him. Our friends would indeed be “easy marks" if they allowed themselves to be led to believe that they ' are getting anything like a fair division.—lndianapolis News. Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Schinnerer of Willshire, Ohio, and nieces, Helen and Esther Gunsett, of Van Wert, Ohio, transferred here today on their way to Fort Wayne, where they will visit.

eons in 100 consecutive shots, is living at Lincoln, 111. Recently interviewed, he says: “I have suffered a long time with kidney and bladder trouble and have used several well known kidney medicines, all of which gave me no relief until I started taking Foley’s Kidney Pills. Before I used Foley’s Kidney Pills I was subjected to severe backaches and pains in my kidneys with suppression and oftentimes a cloudy voiding. While arising in the morning I would get dull headaches. Now I have taken three bottles of Foley’s Kidney Pills and feel 100 per cent better. I am never bothered with my kidneys or bladder and once more feel like my own self. All this I owe soley to Foley’s Kidney Pills and always recommend them to my fellow sufferers.” Foley’s Kidney Remedy will cure any case of kidney or bladder trouble that is not beyond the reach of medicine. No medicine can do more. The Holthouse Drug Co. o MAKES RAPID HEADWAY. Add This Fact to Your Store of Knowledge. Kidney disease advances so rapidly that many a person is firmly in its grasp before aware of its progress. Prompt attention should be given the slightest symptom of kidney disorder. If there is a dull pain in the back, headaches, dizzy spells or a tired, worn-out feeling, or if the urine is dark, foul-smelling, irregular and attended with pain, procure a good kidney remedy at once. Your townspeople recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills. Read the statement of this Decatur citizen: William H. Pennington, Grant street, near Clover Leaf, Decatur, Ind., says: "About two years ago my back pained me constantly and the trouble seemed to be getting worse every day. I did not have much faith in proprietary medicines, but being urged to try Doan’s Kidney Pills by a member of the family who had used them with the best of results, I procured a vox from the Holthouse Drug Co. In a remarkably short time after I began their use my backache had disippeared and it has not returned.” For sale by ail dealers. Price. 50 cents.
