Doing one thing well brings suc- cess. Doan’s Kidney Pills are for one thing only. ' For weak or disordered kidneys. . Here is Butler evidence to prove their worth. Mrs. George Bailey, 510 Maple St., Butler, Mo., says: ‘‘When sufferin, from a dull, heavy backache an pains through my sides and hips, I used Doan’s Kidney Pills and was cured. There has not been any trouble since.’’ The above statement must -carr conviction to the mind of every read- er. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—ask distinctly for Doan’s Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs. Bailey had—the tenet backed_ by home testimony. _50c all stores.

Ross, aged 78 years and 15 days, departed this life at his home on Mechanic street in this cit Monday, October 27, 1913, at1 0’cloc! a. m., after an illness of several months. William W. Ross was born in Glas- gow, Scotland, October 12, 1885. At the age of ten years he came to America becoming a citizen of thé United States and making his home in this country since that time. He was united in marriage to Sarah I. Cunningham at Decatur, Illinois, February 16th, 1860, and this union was blessed with ten children, four of whom, Mrs. J. W. Rook, Mrs. A. Miller, Mrs. Lete Sackett and Miss Lizzie Ross, together with his widow survive to mourn the loss of a kind and affectionate father and a loving husband. He moved to Butler together with his family in 1871 and since that time he has been one of this city’s most valued and respected citizens. He was a Mason anda member of the I. O. O.

P bi Butler Public Schools, This promises to be the best year in the history of the school. This is true fora number of reasons. All pupils entered at the beginning of the term, and they have n in regniar attendance. In September 1912,.we enrolled 649 pupils, the per cent of attendance was 95 and the number of cases of tardiness was 148. In September 1913, we enrolled 677 pupils, the per cent of attendance was - 98 and the number of-cases of tardi- ness was only 52. At the -end of Oc- tober 1912, we had enrolled 682 pu- pils, the per cent of attendance was’ 95.7 and the number of cases of tard- iness was 218. At the end of Octo- ber 1913, we had enrolled 697 pupils, the per cent of attendance was 97.5 and there were only 126 cases of tard- iness. This again of about two and one half per cent in attendance, a gain of fifteen in enrollment although the enumeration was fifteen less this year than last, and’a decrease of 92 in tardiness. Our enrollment is now eighteen more than an enumeration. This is an excellent record andI hope that this high record may be main- tained. I trust that no parent will al- low his child to be absent or tardy except upon the most urgent necessi- Since the pupils entered at the be- ginning of the term and came regu larly, the classes are from one to two’ weeks ahead last year’s classes in the amount of work done. The quality of work is better too. A chain is no stronger than its weakest link. A weak teacher can disorganize the work of a whole building. In this respect we are for- tunate this year, We have good teachers only. The teachers are en- thusiastic about their work and do their work efficiently. Perfect har- mony prevails among them. These conditions are conducive to the high- C. | est efficiency. I wish to invite all patrons to visit their schools. It will encourage the pupils and teachers, too. It will also make you proud of your school. Yours truly, John O. Henderson, Supt. of Schools.
