Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil is the means
of life and enjoyment of life to
thousands: men, women and
children.
When appetite fails, it restores
it. When food is a burden, it
lifts the burden.
When you lose flesh, it brings
the plumpness of health.
When work is hard and duty
is heavy, it makes life bright.
It is the thin edge of the wedge;
the thick end is food. But
what is the use of food when
you hate it and can't digest it?

Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver
Oil is the food that makes you

Learning the Duty of the kidneys
Scores of Wa-Keeney Readers
are learning the duty of the kid
neys. ,
To filter the blood is the kid
neys duty.
When they fail- to do this the
kidneys are sick.
Backache and many kidney
ills follow;
Urinary trouble diabetes.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure them
all.
Charles E. Ridgway, clerk of
the court, near Wa-Keeney,
Kans., says: "About two years
ago I had a bad attack of rheu
matism and after recovering I
suffered a great deal from back
ache. Too frequent passage of
the kidney secretions also caus
ed me annoyance. A neighbor
at lenght advised me to try
Doan's Kidney Pills and I pro
cured a box at W. W. Gibson's
drug store. They proved to be
just what I needed and it was
not long before I was in good
health. Ever since I have kept
Doan's Kidney Pills on hand and
have taken a box occasionally as
they keep my kidneys in a nor
mal condition."

A big lecturing doctor down
east shot it at his audience the
other evening that "the Ameri
can people take too many baths."
The water crank, the man who
showers in the morning, dips at
night, scrubs twice a week, brags
about it all the time, is a nuis
ance and he is usually washed so
thin that there is not much good
fellowship to him. Too much
water takes the perfumed veril
ity from a man in about a week.
A great deal of water may estab
lish pale and tinted daintiness in
a woman, but it is bad for a man,
who is considerable of an animal.
There is a mighty good doctor
up in this country, broad of back,
substantial in girth, large of
neck, 1 florid, healthy, hearty,
good natured, clean and alto
gether wholesome, who does not
believe in much bathing and who
never advises it. His idea is and
he maintains it logically ; and
strongly, that just water enough
for cleanliness and to drink is all
that any man should have. '. A
rough towel in the morning will
do as much good as an enervat
ing inside and outside flooding.
Clay Center Times.
They tell of a small boy who
persisted in saying "have went,"
to the great distress of his tea
cher. To break him of such un
grammatical usage she kept him
in after school and told him to
write "have gone" 500 times.
The boy went at his task indus
triously and worked steadily for
some time. Finally the teacher
was called from the room by an
other teacher, and when she re
turned found the youthful gram
mar student had gone. On his
desk were a number of tablet
sheets covered with "have gones"
and the following note: "I am
through and have went home."
Accidents will happen, but the
best regulated families keep Dr.
Thomas' Eclectric Oil for such
emergencies. It subdues the
pain and heals the hurts.
"How shall the wife find time
to attend to all her duties?" was
the subject up for discussion be
fore a woman's club in a Kansas
town recently. In reckless dis
regard of the wrath to come, Je

away from the club."

Ayer's Sarsaparilla is not a
strong drink. As now made,
there is not a drop of alcohol

every time. He knows.

Kansas City Market Report.1 i
Kansas City Stock "Yards, April
, 27, 1909.
The supply of cattle here this
week has been several thousand
head smaller than some days in
recent weeks, and under ordin
ary conditions the market would
be higher but the big run and a
break of. 15 to 25 cents in Chicago
yesterday gave the week a bad
start. The decline here yester
day, was around 10 cents on
steers, but other classes held
about steady. The run here to
day is 8000 head, market strong
er on steers, steady sn other
kinds. Top price here today
was $6.65, same as the top in
Chicago yesterday except for
one lot of prime steers. It is
gratifying to sellers to meet the,
fairly good market here today
in the face of the bad outlook
yesterday. Sales here above
$6.35 are scare, this week,
and bulk of sales of beef steers
run from $5.25 to $6.15. Out
side of the bad- situations in
Chicago yesterday because of
the heavy supply here yesterday
conditions have improved this
week and there is a better out
let for the beef. Cows range
from $3.00 to $5.40, heifers $4.00
to $6.00, with one lot of yearling
steers and heifers at $6.45 here
today, bulls $3.40 to $5.25, calves
a quarter higher today, with top
veals at $6.75. Stockers and
feeders trade is dulll this week,
price 10 to 20 lower than a week
ago,. as farm occupation are tak
ing up the time of majority of
country buyers at this time,
stockers selling at $3.75 to $5.50
feeders $4.75 to $5.60.
The hog market received a set
back yesterday but is 5 to 10
higher today, top $7.25, bulk
S6.75 to $7.20. Light weights
got the most advance today and
sell at $6.60 to $7.05. Sales of
hog products by the packers are
said to be extra heavy for this
season, and a big hole has already
been made in stocks of provis
ions, a feature that is, likely to
have a bearing on the market
later in the summer, at a time
when packers count on buying:
cheap hogs to build up their
stocks of meats. Run here is
is liberal today, 18,500 head, but
packers have been a going a little
short for a week, account of mod
erate runs, and the market gain
ed strenght all through the
session today, and closed at the
best point reached.
Sheep and lambs are coming
pretty freely, but the market is
10 higher tbdayi on a supply of
10,000 head, which is a continua
tion of the healthy state of trade
in that department that has rul
ed for some time. Top lambs
sold at $8.15, bulk of lambs $7.90.
to $8.15, yearlings worth up to
$7.50,-wethers-$6.50, ewes $5.85.
Texas clipped muttons are sell
ing at $5.20 to $5.35, fat goats
around $4.25, brushers $3.00 t
$3.50. '

The Globe says: An Atchison
girl had a proposal of marriage
Sunday night and asked a week
to think it over. She went to all
of her married sisters. One,
whe used to be a belle, had three
children, did all of her own work
and hadn't been to the theater or
out riding since she was mar
ried. Another, whose on s band
was a promising young man at
the time she war married, was
supporting him. A third didn't
dare say her life was her own
when her husband was around
and a fourth was divorced. Af
ter visiting them .and hearing
their woes, the heroine of this
little, tale went home, got pen and
ink and paper and wrote an an
swer to the young man. You
may think that it was refusing
him, but it wasn t. one said she
could be ready in a month.

Once irpon a time there was an
editor ha Kansas popularly
known as the Town Mean; Man.
He said, things about righteous
ness in public office, good citizen
ship, exemplary conduct, hon
esty, fairness and general de
cency, until he developed a beau
tiful bunch of enemies. They
villified him and abused him in
every conceivable manner, but
he held his peace. The enemies
Ye Editor made were: always
looking for an opening, so when
small poac appeared in the village
it was immediately reported that
Ye Editor had been exposed. Ye
Editor was forthwith carried to
the pest house, where he prompt
ly and effectively contracted the
disease. And in his delirium
and travail when he was most
likely to convey the contagion,
Ye Editor rushed out of the pest
house and shook hands, with all
of his friends. Ralph. Tennal.
If" there were no women, men
woujM have no object in life; their
mustaches would cease to inter
est them; they would not care a
Chinaman whether their collars
were ironed or not; they would
have nobady to nurse them when
they had the toothache, or to
keep them from believing they
were going to die when an old
fashioned stomach-ache had the
grip upon them. - There would
be nobody to take for ice cream
and no small edition of flesh and
blood to hug. There would be
nobody to fight against being
kissed and then - take to it as nat
ural - as the cat does to cream.
Most important of all, there
would be nobody to write against,
to complain of and to love with
all your heart and soul. With
out her man would never get to
heaven, and without them they
would never have a taste of the
other place on earth. So, if man
has anv spnss whatflvpr ri'll nnt,
his arm around the woman he is
the fondest of, thank the good
Lord for her and wonder, as she
does, what in the world he would
do without her. Webber Falls
