suffered a great deal from a constant
dull pain across my kidneys. The
trouble was getting on my nerves. I
began taking Doan's Kidney Pills, pro
cured at the Scoggin-Egerton Drug Co.
and they relived the pains In my back
In a short time. Several boxes com
pletely cjred me and improved my
health."

THE EYES OF SCHOOL CHILDREN.
" This boy Is ambitious. He -wants an
education, he is studious. He works
hard, but he lags behind bis classes.
There Is a reason. It is not because
he is a dull scholar. He has a bright
mind. And yet he lags. The trouble
is with his eyes. His teacher doesn't
know, his parents don't know, he him
self doesn't know. But the optome
trist knows and fits him with suitable
glasses. Now see the difference.
Not ? he same l?oy? Yea it is the
same boy, the same ambition, tlie
same bright mind, the same diligent
student. But thte resuir* eie not the
same. He uo longer sits at the foot of
the class, but at the head. His work
is no longer a drudge but a delight be
cause he knows that he knows.
A pair of glasses properly fitted ex
plains the difference.
What is true with this boy might be
true of many another boy or girl. If
PARENTS AND TEACHERS wouW
only look after the eyes of their chil
dren. Most eye troubles develop while
in school. ~A thorough examination
does not cost much. Is it not worth
while? _
I give special attention to the eyes
of children.

Kitchen Economy
You cannot save money as long as your profits go into the J
garbage can. And that is where impure and unwholesome groc
eries and provisions often find their way. Shop the better-way.
Buy foodstuffs that have no waste, make every ounce count in the
strength and vitality of life. We offer you groceries and other
eatables that will stand the test, that will register _100 per cent
pure, that are cheapest because there is no waste. It is economy
to buy such goods, it is extravagant and wasteful to buy anything
else. This store is the home of "Kitchen economy." Trade with
us and let us mark the beginning of better financial dayj for you.
