Backache, Rheumatism, Nervousness Mean disordered kidneys. Foley Kidney Pills have helped your neighbors; they will also help you. . J. R. Reed, Logansport, Ind., says, “I have used Foley.

The tramp who was injured last Saturday at San Pierre by getting caught between two cars, crushing his foot, breaking his shoulder and injuring him in other ways, says the fall was caused by the brakeman on the 'Monon kicking his hands lose when he was getting on the train. He was taken to the hospital Monday. The banquet prepared by the mothers, sisters and sw’eethearts of members of the M. W. A. of Wheatfield Camp, was all that could be expected and desired, except the invitations to neighbors of other camps did not bring the desired ( number of visitors, as few put in , an appearance and thereby missed a < treat.

Knowing then that there was no relief and < that but a few days more was left, ; her children, Mrs. Chas. Wesner, , Elwood, Edna and Harry Gnlbran- • son started Tuesday morning for ; Chicago to see her once more alive, , if possible. A ‘.short time after ■ their departure word was received ■ here that their mother was dea l. . A daughter, Mrs. Schrader, who resides in North Dakota, was tele- " graphed for. The funeral was on . Friday at 1 p. m., at Wheatfield.

PNEUMONIA FOLLOWS A COLD But never follows the use of Foley’s Honey and Tar, which checks the cough and expels the cold. M. Stockwell, Hannibal, RJo., says, “It beats all the remedies I ever used. 1 contracted a bad cold and cough and was threatened with pneumonia. One bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar completely cured me.” No opiates, just a reliable household medicine. A. F. Long.
