DON’T WAIT Take Advantage of a Butler Citizen’s Experience When the back begins to ache, Don’t wait until backache becomes chronic; : *Till kidney troubles develop; *Till urinary troubles destroy night’s rest. Profit by a Butler citizen’s experi- ence. Mrs. John Stewart, 404 Vine St., Butler, Mo., says: ‘I had kidney trouble for about a year. Pains in my back were constant and my head ached. The kidney secretions also bothered me and I was in. no condi- tion to attend to my work. . A few months ago I used Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured at Clay’s Drug Store, and they gave me such great relief that I continued taking them. My appetite improved, I took on flesh and felt better in every way. My aches and pains werealsoremoved. I know that there is no better kidney medicine to be had than Doan’s Kidney Pills, and I am glad to give this statement for the benefit of other kidney suf- ferers.”’ For sale by all dealers.

C., July 17.—That the body of Christopher Columbus, now resting in the cathedral at Santa Domingo, be sent through the Pana- ma Canal on a battleship is advocated by John E. Osborn, Assistant Secre- tary of State, who has just returned from a trip to the island. He said: It seems to me that it would be an excellent idea to place the remains on a battleship when the canal is opened and take them through the canal The United States in that way would be honoring a great man and the people of the country would be iven an opportunity to learn about im. In Columbus, North and South and Central America have a tommon hero whose praise all can sing. Mr. Osborn said that he had dis- cussed his proposal with Dr. Francis Peynado, Dominican Minister to the United States, and other officials in Santa Domingo. Mr. Osborne, who is a physician, was especially interested in the body of Columbus, which is in a lead cas- ket. Gambling-House Held Up Sapulpa, Ok. July 16.—Three ‘masked men held up twenty-four players in a Dewey avenue gambling- house here early today, and escaped with about $100 after a running fight with the police. “Up against the wall; quick now; quick, quick,” a gruff voice com- manded. % Players and spectators finding three revolvers leveled at them, lined up against the wall. One robber scoop- ed up the “‘pot” and the three backed out of the room. Five shots were sent after them, but they escaped. Last Saturday the same house was held up by a masked man and $600 taken. Last Poe Landmark Going. Richmond, Va., July 21.-The march of progress has laid hands upon the last landmark in Richmond of Edgar Allen Poe. Oceans May Merge October 10. Panama, ‘July. 20.—Col. ‘G. W. Goethals has notified Lieut. Col. David B. Gaillard, chief of the cen- tral division of the canal, that steam- shovel work in the Culebra Cut sec- tion will be conducted on the as- sumption that Gamboa Dike will be dynamited October 10. : While it had been announced that this dynamiting would take place af- ter October 1, this is the first time the actual date date has been named. The destruction of the dike will al- low Gatun Lake to flood the cut, thereby practically connecting the Atlantic and Pacific, although actual navigation of the canal probably will not be attempted for some time there- after. Would Pay Their Expenses. State Highway Commissioner Buf- fum has written to the various county clerks suggesting that they take up with the county courts and commer- cial organizations the propriety of paying the expenses of the county highway commissioners. A This is right, just and proper. It is enough to ask these men to serve without pay, it is too much to expect them to pay their own expenses in the work of selecting highways im- posed upon them. Elmer Ozias, chairman of the John- son county commission, remarked when he was appointed, that it would be nice if somebody would pay their gasoline bill.—Warrensburg Star- Journal. : Missouri Free From Snags Jefferson City, Mo., July 16.—Men familiar with the Missouri River say that the stream is freer from snags and better for navigation than ever before. There has been a good boating stage all season, the packets of the Kansas City Navigation Company plying between that city and St. Louis being enabled to make regular trips. W. S. Pope of Jefferson City, who has been a close observer of the river for thirty years, declares the snag problem has nearly been solved by the cutting of practically all timber along its banks. Washington, D. C., July 21.—An- nouncement of the appointment of Dr. L. R. Ellis of Hot Spring, Ark., to be superintendent of the Hot Springs Reservation, was made to- day. ; Secretary Lane in his letter of noti- fication to Dr. Ellis said that the ‘‘ad- ministration of the reservation should be on a thorough-going and efficient basis,’’ and that he would expect a “drastic’’ enforcement of the law’’ and absolute impartiality of treatment of all persons. $20,000 Fire at Springfield, Mo. Springfield, Mo., July 17.—A fire which contributed $20,000 to the 2 million fire losSes which have oc-; curred here within the last two months, destroyed completely the Waters Pierce Oil Company building today. The Waters Pierce station was located next to the Bell Tele- phone Company office and damage to the telephone system from the fire crippled the service for hours. The Waters Pierce building was the prop- erty of John and D. J. Landers. This is Vacation Time. Plan it carefully. Spend your precious days and money to the best advantage.
