Kidney disease is too dangerous to neglect. At the first sign of back- ahce, headache, dizziness or urinary disorders, you should give the weak> ened kidneys prompt attention. Take things easier and use a reliable kid ney tonic. Tfeore’s no other kidney medicine so irell recommended as Doan’s Pills. Clinton people rely on them. Here'* oen of the many state ments from Clinton people. Mrs. G. H. Pearson, 61 A Lydia Mill, says: “My back was giving me trouble. During the day I was both ered with a dull ache through my kidneys that tired me out and for a time I wasn't able to do a great deal. I waa convinced my kidneys were causing the trouble because they didn’t act right. I stne for a Txjx of Doan’s Pills after reading about them in the paper. I took them according to directions and was soon rid o fine annoyance and able to go about feeling as well as ever. I gladly endorse Doan’s for the help they gave me in so short a time.” 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn ,Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. .

In prHJhrlkian lays folks oelebrated the renewal oi spring and sunshine at the time of. year vhen Easter now cornea, and the egg. with its suggestion of new life, was the moat natural symbol In the world. Christlaitlty consecrated the Idea, as it were, by coloring the eggs red as a reminder of the blood spilt on the 'roes—a custom which survives In France to this day. The hot cross bun la another curious blend of heathen superstition and Christian symbolism. Many centuries before Christ little round loaves were baked and marked with a cross; some were even discovered in the ruins of Herculaneum, one of the ancient Ital ian cities which waa burled by an erup tion of Mount Vesuvius and afterwards uncovered and explored. Some say that these cakes were sacrificed and >ffered as an act of worship to the heathen gods of the day, particularly 0 the moon, called the queen of heaven. Others assert that the eooks of that day were as practical as the toffee- laeker of ours, who mark the toffee Into small squares, so that it will break up more anally when cold. Then came the Christians, who saw In this breed merited with their own veered symbol a fit association with blester. They made their Good Friday akes from dough first used for the lost, and the buns weoe blessed by he priest and given out at the end of -orvice In church. Worshipers rever- ntly kissed the cross before eating the symbols, and believed that the eut ing of one would keep them from harm :ntil next Easter. For the same reason it used to be customary to hang a bun up In a house to bring good luck, just as the horse shoe Is set over a dooYway. In par ticular It was supposed to guard the house from fire—a real menace in the days when houses were of wood and thatched with straw and fire engines almost unknown. Were you born on Good Friday? Legend has it that anyone so blessed possesses the gift of second eight And if you have sufficient fortitude to turn vegetarian just for Easter Sunday, an old superstition promises you good health for a twelvemonth. It seems a small pries tor so long a benefit, doesn't It? Another wey of Insuring good health, which is much more drastic, but was often prectlee<rin olden days by spar tan maidens, was to leave a linen cloth out In e field all night, so that It became soaked with the cold spring dew. Then they washed themselves all ever with the dear, chilly moisture. Another quaint superstition is the rather ridiculous custom of lifting or heaving, which is still practiced in some parts of the country. On Easter Monday the men lift the women, and on Easter Tuesday the women lift or heave the men. The process Is per formed by two lusty men or women joining their hands across each other's wrists; then, making the person to be heaved sit down on their arms, they lift him up aloft two or three times and often carry him several yards .along a street In other parts the men claim the privilege of taking off the women’s shoes on Eas'ern Monday, and the next day the women retaliate. ■PPHNiPliPilPHIPIP BCTl xviTA-glllff gJ1tr,13g3L?

Easter Brings Pkssag* af Assuratur RCHEOLOGISTS exploring the 8,400-year-old tomb of Klqg Tut-Ankb-Amen are Impreeaed with the evi dences of the ancient ruler's belief In Immortality. Every thing in the sepulcher proclaims his expectation of a future Ufa Ancient Egypt believed as firmly as does mod ern Christendom that fox the soul there la no death. Indeed, the memory of man runneth not back to the time when he did not look forward to a hereafter and ex press his belief In some way. This belief, apparently. Is Inborn in human consciousness, a characteristic of all the ages of the race. The doctrine of the resurrection Is not new. The pagan before the Chris tian era glimpsed the truth. Nature proclaimed It to him In the bursting of tho buds and the song of the birds in the springtime. In fhe seasons he read a confirmation of hla belief. But the Christian, fortunately, has something more than the pleasing sym bols of nature to fortify and strengthen his belief In Immortality. The mate rialist may read his fate In the proc esses of the natural world, but the Christian finds bis assurance In the well-authenticated, personally" con- veyed message from the Creator Him self. Before Christ men merely speculated on the future, prompted by their be liefs and wishes. When He broke the bonds of death and became “the first fruits of them that slept,” He. threw a flood of light upon the gates of eternity that forever solved the mystery and Illumined the way ta the future for all mankinds Easter, the anniversary of the resur rection of the Son of God, brings a message of assurance and victory to every soul. It cheers with the procla mation that all are citizens of the eternal. It enables men to look across the grave and hurl defiance at death. With the proper understanding of this divine message, the capability of men becomes unlimited, for they know that this life Is only the^ beginning. Without the courage that this day Inspires, life would not be worth the living. (ftp iRpflfiagr of £a*tar By %achd o4mm Ntiiwtndtr 1 IFE U a gift eternal. How do I know 'tia ao?
