A Cornell man visited many farms and secured from 573 men accurate data of the farmer’s income from his own labor, deducting all expenses and 5, per cent interest on capital invested from the gross receipts. Besides this he allowed for depreciation in tools, etc. He found that 398 farmers who had attended only the district schools had an average labor income of $3lB annually, while 165 who had atended high school had an income of $622 and 10 college men had an income of SB4B. In every group the men having the highest education made the best use of their capital. There is an increase of $304 per year in the labor income of those men who had attended high schools; that is, a high school education is worth more than $6,000 in five per cent tymds.

Tile Not Properly Covered is Apt to Crnmble in the Winter.

Tile should be well covered and if simply set and left with a slight covering it is almost certain to crumble during the winter months. It is poor economy to go to the expense of buying tile and setting it and then not protecting it with the proper covering, and township trustees that alio v such work to go neglected are not looking after the welfare of taxpayers.

DOING THEIB DUTY. Scores of Rensselaer Readers are Learning the Dufy of the Kidneys. To filter the blood is the kidneys' duty. When they fail to do this the kidneys are sick. ’ Backache and many kidney ilia follow; Urinary trouble, diabetes. Doan’s. Kidney Pills cure them, all. Rensselaer people endorse our claim. Mrs. Aaron Hickman, N. Front St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “In my opinion Doan’s Kidney Pills are the best kidney medicine on the market. I have taken them at different times when suffering from attacks of backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint and I have always received prompt relief. Three years ago I first began their use and they proved so satisfactory that I have no desire to change to any other remedy. I was so well pleased with the benefit I recelvedafrom my first trial of Doan’s Kidney Pills that I gave a statement for publication recommending them in the spring of 1907. Since then when I have heard anyone complain of kidney trouble or backache, I have suggented that Doan’s Kidney Pills be procured at Fendlg’s Drug Store and given a trial. Different members of my family have taken this remedy and like myself, have been greatly benefited.” I[*>r sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
