SOME PIE CRUST might be considered a good substitute for sole leather but when a fellow asks for a second helping of your pie you know that he likes it. Same with our WEAR RESISTER School Shoes for boys, we know that all of these mothers who have been in here the last few weeks asking for these shoes, like the way these shoes wear or they wouldn’t be coming back here for another pair. Try a pair on YOUR boy. Charlie Voglewede AT THE SIGN OF THE BIG SHOE

Or, he had a choice,’ he did not liave sufficient interest in the welfare of his country to express his choice at the polls. At the time of the election of 1914 Wilson had been in office eighteen months. Both houses of Congress were democratic. The democratic tarift - law had been in force twelve months. Wilson’s Mexican policy had been formulated. The European was on with all its problems. Yet Mr. Hughes did not have enough interest in the welfare of his country in 1914 to go to the polls and cast his vote in disapproval of the democratic administration and its policies, or in commendation of them. When the primaries were held in New York and New Jersey only the other day Wilson went to New Jersey to vote. Hughes did not vote. Having neglected to vote for ten years probably Hughes has forgotten how. This is his definition of “firm Americanism” of which Hughes talks so much. We have had many calamity campaigns in this country, conducted first by one party and then by the other, , but this is positively the first in which the calamity referred to is all out of sight, somewhere around the corner, away off in the dim future. It will be interesting to observe what effect this malicious animal magnetism has upon a great people who never before were so prosperous.—New York World. pOOOCCOOOOOOC'<K‘OCWOO&CG “ POLITICAL PRIMER. q Q.

FOOLING WITH HEALTH SERIOUS 11 ■' 1 ■ I I have frequently asked druggists “What do you push In 4 blood medicine?" The answer usqally came “The kind I can make tne most money on.” My answer has always been “not me.” I have succeeded pretty well and 1 have always recommended the one that 1 had found by experience to he the one 1 would willingly take myself or give to the members of my own family. I have never offered the public a medicine / that w'e do not use at homo. This \ is why I can offer Number 40 For The Blood with a clear conscience; we have not only tried it on thousands of others but. on ourselves. We take It in all eases where 11 blood medicine is needed no matter in i-what form it shows itself and we get satisfactory results in constipation, kidney, stomach and liver troubles. 1 firmly believe if every one would begin in the spring and take 40 they would escape malaria and fever in all forms.

A bad back is a heavy burden. A burden at night when bed time comes. Just as bothersome in the morning. Ever try Doan's Kidney Pills for it? Know they are for kidney backache—and for other kidney ills? If you don't some Decatur people do. Read a case of it: John Sphar, 908 N. Second St., Decatur, says: “I had been unable to find relief from lameness in my back and sharp pains through my kidneys until I got Doan’s Kidney Pills. Whenever my kidneys have been disordered, 1 have procured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills from the Enterprise Drug Co., and they have quickly ended the suffering.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Sphar had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.—Advt.
