Local “5” Will Be Among Missing at Valpo Tournament.

. The high school basketball five will be among the missing at the district tournament which will be held at Valparaiso this week. The fact that the team this year was made up of green material and that their showing during the present season was poor, it was deemed advisable by the faculty not to have the local school represented at the sectional tournament this year. - Monticello. a town that has always been well represented by her basketball team, will not enter the sectional tournament this season either. This indoor sport has always thrived in the White county capital and the teams from that city have always stood high and several times the school and town have been represented by the best tossers in the State. The team this season had no hall in which to play and the citizens of that place are bewailing the fact that they have no gymnasium and it is a safe bet that ere another year has passed she will have one.

Mrs. J. J. Norgor, Mathewson Ave. ; Rensselaer, says: “We have used Doan’s Kidney Pills in the family for a long time and they have kept us in good health.

Doan’s Kidney Pills have always driven away these symptoms and have kept me well and strong.’ Price 50c, at-all dealers. Don t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Norgor had. Foßter-Milburn 00., Pnops., Buffalo, N- Y. f L...
