DO IT NOW Monett People Should Not Wait Until It is Too Late. The appalling death-rate from kidney disease is due largely to the fact that the little kidney troubles are usually neglected until they become serious.

The slight symptoms often give place to chronic disorders and the sufferer may slip gradually into some serious form of kidney complaint. If you suffer from backache, headaches, dizzy spells; if the kidney sesretions are irregular of passage do not delay. Help the kidneys at once. Doan's Kidney Pills are especially for kidney disorders they act where others fail. Over one hundred thousand people have recommended them.

Here's a case at home. Mrs. Philip Steele, 1019 Fifth street Monett, says: "I used to suffer a great deal with backache and sharp pains through the small of my back. My kidneys would be put out of order at these times and acted irregularly. However, Doan's Kidney Pills always cured me of these attacks in a short time.

I have also given Doan's to one of my children when she has been bothered with kidney trouble. They always give the same good results." Price 60c, at all dealers Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy--get Doan's Kidney Pills--the same that Mrs. Steele had. Foster-Milburn Buffalo, N. Y.

Mary Morrison Chitwood, Lawrence County, has received high praise in editorials in the San Francisco Chronicle, the Boston Publishers Weekly and the Washington D. C. Star, all papers of wide circulation and national circulation. It is a story of the highest moral character and carries the message of the author with a vital force rarely found in the novels of today. "Saved for a Purpose" is too vivid a story to be even outlined in a few words of discription, but must be read, and it is safe to say, will be read through to the last word when once begun." Mrs.

Chitwood takes for her scenes of her story, Monett, Wichita, and Eureka Springs, Ark. The story opens with the sad parting of a man from his wife and baby, being lured to the goid fields of the West. He promises to return for his wife in a year, but four years pass and all trace is lost of the husband and Despondent, the young wife takes her own life, leaving her young son to the mercy of the world. The boy is sent to an unscrupulous relative at Wichita, who wrongfully accuses him of a theft. In his resentment he runs away and goes to Eureka Springs, Ark.

Mrs. Chitwood gives some beautiful word pictures of this picturesque town as she relates how the boy found employment and made his way by honesty and industry He answers the call of his country and goes to the Philippines to fight in the Spanish-American war. While there he leads a band which rescues an old man from a band of. natives firing squad, and finds that he has rescued his own father.
