IS RENSSELAER SATISFIED? __ _ “I- - . The Evidence i* Convincing.. The Testimony Open to Investigation. Before a statement can be accepted here, it must be supported by local testimony—;by the evidence of someone residing in Rensselaer. Statements from unknown people in remote places may be true, but we cannot prove them. Here is a statement by a Rensselaer resident: C. B. Steward, insurance agent, S. Front & Main Sts., says: “I had been subject to serious attacks of kidney disorder. My back for a long time was lame and sore and I was hardly ever free from backache. Whenever I feel any signs of that trouble now, or my kidneys are not in good condition, I get a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills at Long’s Drug Store. They quickly fix me up all right. In that way, I keep free from the old suffering and in good health.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Steward had.

Interesting Letter From Former Resident I Sackets Harbor, N. Y. I Dec. sth, 1917. Editor Republican, After this week send our paper to Oklahoma City, care L. T. Tryon, Colcord building. We expect to leave here 'on the 11th via of Chicago for the South, will stop at Tulsa for about one week. Then to Oklahoma City for Christmas. May refmain in Oklahoma most of the winter. It will depend some on the weather, also considerable on the departments, one thousand left If wife is pretty liberal, we may go further (see). Sackets Harbor has been a very busy place the past year and probably will be until after the war. There is from one to three thousand soldiers here all the time. Training for different departments, one thounsand left here two weeks ago (I think for France). They have very, nice quarters here for most of the men. Some are intemporary buildings. The coal situation is very bad up here as it is most places I notice. The sugar also is a side dish when

I you can get it. ' The fanners here are somewhat blue on account of high prices . of feed. They did not get much good forder owing to early frosts. The most of them will have to depend on ground feed from the west, which is very high. The prices are nearly five dollars per hundred. They had a big hay crop, good as I ever saw, mostly timothy and in most cases was put up in good condition. Many of the farmers sold their hay at >12.00 early, but at this time it is around the S2O mark. Our weather is mild 32 this morning with about one jnch of snow that came this morning. I am very sorry to hear that the , com it so soft and green through* the west. Husking must be very late. Keep close watch on your grain men while handling the com crop and should they show any signs of going crazy, better run them in while you can handle them. They sure Will be wild before spring. With best wishes to all, I remain your truly, C. H. TRYON.
