NO DIFFERENCE The Proof Is Here the Same As Everywhere. For those who seek relief from kidney backache, weak kidneys, bladder ills, Doan's Kidney Pills offer (hope of relief and the proof is here in Rensselaer the same as everywhere. Rensselaer people have used Doan’s and Rensselaer people recommend Doan’s, the kidney remedy used in America for fifty years. Why suffer? Why run the risk of dangerous kidney ills—fatal Bright’s disease. Here’s Rensselaer proof. Investigate it. Mra Hemry Randle, Forest St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “I had a severe attack of backache, accompanied by pains through my loins. It wls all I could do to work. When I was suffering the worst, one of my neighbors advised me to try Doan’s Kidney Pills, in fact, gave me a few that she had in the house. I took them and was so pleased with the results that I procured a further supply at Larsh’s Drug Store. They acted just as represented and in a short time I was free from pain. I think a great deal of Doan’s Kidney Pills and highly recommend them.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedyget Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Randle had.

YOUNG GIRL DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Smith Passes Away—Funeral to Be Held Sunday.
(Marie May, the 14-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Smith, died at the family home In the northeast part of Rensselaer at 3 o’clock Thursday afternon, following a long sickness that had kept her confined in bed for the past twenty-four weeks. Last year her parents moved to Globe, Ariz., for Mr. Smith’s health. It was during their residence there that Marie began to fail and on her account they returned to Rensselaer last fall. She did not improve materially, although she was able to enter school, where she went for a short time until compelled by weakness to give up her school. She was a dutiful and loving child and bore her sickness very (bravely and uncomplainingly. Day by day she failed and nothing could be done to stay the progress of her disease. The parents hoped against hope that she might take a turn for the better but some two weeks ago it became quite certain that the illness was to terminate fatally and the parents and brother and -friends were thus prepared somewhat for the end which permitted her to pass into peaceful sleep. Marie was born in Chicago Nov: 29, 1893, and was 14 years, 6 months and 20 days of age at death. She is survived by her parents and her brother. Floyd. The entire community joins with them in sorrow at their loss.
The funeral will take place at the M. E. church Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, being conducted by Dr. Paul C. Curnick. Burial in Weston cemetery. -
