THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

. / we will surely be victorious at harvest time. Mrs. Bert Vandercar and children went to Baum’s Bridge Wednesday for a short visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Bush, and to see the new house nearing completion, which they are building where the old one burned down some time ago. The frost Saturday night did considerable dajmiage, especially in the low ground, where it put the corn back a fortnight or more. High ground corn and truck patches suffered in places, and many are lamenting over the watermelons, which in places are entirely killed. The writer’s family recently received cards from Corporal Louis Misch, of Camp Sherman, Chillicothe Ohio, and WillianT A. Custard of Nitro, West Virginia. Both are in training for Uncle Sam's service. They write that they are well and very busy. We are always glad to hear from our soldier friends.

Never were cars so necessary—both in business and domestic life. Never was their continuous and economical use so imperative. Never was freedom from tire trouble and tire expense so absolutely essential. The rapidly growing demand for United States Tires prove their wartime worth.

A THOROUGH TEST. One to Convince the Most Skeptical Rensselaer Reader. The test of time is the test that counts, Doan’s Kidney Pills have made their reputation by effective action. The following case is typical. Rensselaer residents should be convinced. , The testimony is confirmed—the proof complete. Testimony like this cannot be ignored. Mrs. Aaron Hickman, W. Vine St.,. Rensselaer, says: ‘I had such severe backaches, headaches and pains across my loins I couldn’t sleep well. I felt tired and worn out when morning came. My kidneys were weak and I had no strength or ambition to do anything. I finally got Doan’s Kidney Pills from B. F. Fendig’s drug store, aijd they strengthened my kidneys, relieved me of the backaches and made me feel fine.” (Statement given May 31, 1907.) On February 29. 1 916, Mrs. Hickman said: ‘‘Doan’s Kidney Pills have surely done good work for me. I shall always praise them.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t

NOTICE TO FARMERS! Owing to the shortage of help on the farm and harvest coming on, and as we are urged to use all the daylight in tending the crops, we will keep the Poultry House open on Wednesday and Saturday nights from 7 till 10 o’clock, starting this week, June 19 By so doing it will make it so that our customers may have access to the service we are able to render them in handling their eggs and cream. Our motto is to do unto others as we would be done by, so if we have put any hardship on any one by closing our doors at 6 o’clocks we will try to correct it and do our bit to help win the war. E. E.
