OH! MY BACK! The Expression of Many a Kidney Sufferer in Rensselaer. A stubborn backache is cause to suspect kidney trouble. WTiep. the kidneys are inflamed and swollen, stooping brings a sharp twinge in the snfall of the back, that almost takes the breath away. Doan’s Kidney Pills revive sluggish kidneys—relieve aching backs. Here's Rensselaer’s proof: Mrs. R. W. Burris says: “I was suffering from a steady ache in my back and could hardly move without having knife-like pains through my kidneys. When I went to stoop over to tie my shoes or get up out of a chair, that pain caught me. My head ached and I felt nervous and tired. I was often so dizzy I could hardly stand. My kidneys acted too often and caused me much distress. I used several boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills and they put me in good shape.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mrs. Burris had. Foster-Mil-bum Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. — Advt.

There are a few rich young men who are deserving of special commendation. At the reserve officers’ training camp in Illinois it was discovered that . quite a number of young men without means were in danger of having to return home for lack of funds to continue their course of instruction. Hearing ot, this, the young men of wealth in the camp quietly dug down, handed a large sum to the mess officer with strict injunctions of secrecy as to names, and as a result a number of brilliant young men of limited means will continue to serve their country. This action is quite in contrast to that of the long-haired Willies who tear around the country with American -flags conspicuously displayed on the front of their automobiles. The government will avoid a lot of future trouble if it clamps the price regulation lid onto every article of home consumption. The farmer, the manufacturer and the laborer should be guaranteed a reasonable and just price for his toil, the consumer should be amply protected against gouging and the speculator and price booster should be kicked to hades, where he belongs. Certain newspaper writers appear to be much exercised over how the former czar’s two daughters are to obtain suitable husbands, now that Nicholas is just plain Mr. Romanoff. But decent .men are plentiful in this world, more so in the "Mr.” class than in that infested by kings, .emperors and fools.
