Why then buy an inferior Paint just because it costs a few cents per gallon less than a well known first-class brand? That is folly, for a cheap paint is made of pooY material and seldom lasts more than a year or two, whereas A g<k>d one t-hould wear for five years at least. Our .Crown Cottage Colors will not chalk peel or scale and in covering capacity and durability is superior to the majority of Paints made including White Lead and Oil. Considering these facts, why not buy the best and save money. I carry Enamel Colors, Varnish Stains, Porch and Step Paint, Floor Paint, Wagon and Buggy Paint, Fillers, Ynrnishes, Shellacs, Colors in Oils, White Lead, Dry Colors, Glue, Putty, Etc. F. L.

Traveling U Dangerous. Coustant motion jars the kidneys, which are kept in place in the body by delicate attachments. This is the rea­ son that travelers, trainmen, street car men, teamsters and all who drive very much suffer from kidney disease in some form.

This Is just, for statistics from all sources show that the use of alcohollo drinks always predis­ poses to kidney troubles, and Bright^ Disease, Diabetes and all other fatal kid- ney diseases are far more frequent among drinkers of beer and alcoholic beverages than among those who do sol Indulge In them. In a recent address befor® the Senate of the United States^ Hon. J. Ho Gallinger, Senator from New Hampshire, gave the results of most thorough Investigations made to ascertain the effects of beer drink­ ing upon the health and life of individ­ uals. He showed conclusively that almost all cases of Brlght's Disease were caused by beer drinking and that other fatal kid­ ney troubles had the same origin as a rula. As probably a large majority of men drink beer it becomes a matter of great concern to know the best way of overcom­ ing its effects upon the kidneys. There Is nothing that will so quickly make the kid* neya right In these cases as FOLKY'S Kn>» NBTCUBB. If taken early it will cure tmrj form of kidney trouble and even In hop* less cases It will give relief. It is an hon­ est preparation and can be relied upon ta do all that Is claimed for It* G. W.

This result was obtained in tha ordinary way in which a farmer puts in his crop, with no thought of counting until after the corn was up.
