HICKS D$AD. t * Thousands who have long held him in high esteem will be saddened \t? learn of the death at his home in St. '? Louis of Rev. Irl R. Hicks, slightingly referred to by some as the "long dis- ' tance" weather forecaster. ' Whatever else he may have been v Mr. Hicks was nothing of the char- c latan. He had a well-defined theory $ of cause and effect as to atmospheric ? and seismic disturbances, in which * years of study and investigt^ion had 8 deepened his faith. He had noped the government would eventually take charge of his work and continue his 0 experiments over a period of years. ? Probably his most notable longrange forecast matured on inauguration day, March 4, 1909. The night of March 3 the government weather bureau predicted fair weather for Mr. Taft's inaugural. In his almanac for 1909, printed in the latter part of 1908, and probably edited as early as August or September, the "longrange" forecaster predicted that the biggest snow storm of the winter would strike Washington March 4. It did. Those who suffered the stings of King Winter that day well remember the Weather Bureau's "fall-down," and the blizzard which swept over the national capital. Mr. Hicks had won. Mr. Hicks founded his forecasts on planetary influence, a theory which, we doubt not, will eventually find general acceptance. _ NEW HOPE New Hope, Oct. 1(5.?We certainly are now enjoying October bright, blue weather. It is, I suppose, what we call "Indian summer" weather. It really seems if ever there was golden weather it is now when the old world is swinging in a frame of blue. The beautiful scenes now of nature we cannot help but to feel glad that we have so many blessings and after all we are in a grand old world, which we do not appreciate as much as we , ought.

Union proof is what you want and i the statement of this highly respected resident will banish all doubt. J. A. Chambers, retired farmer, 55 Gage Ave., Union, says: "My kidney trouble came on with pain around my left side. At times my kidneys acted too freely, then again the secretions h were retarded. Several boxes of t Doan's Kidney Pills made me feel a s great deal better. I remained free from kidney trouble for years, but 5 then I caught a heavy cold on my kidneys and noticed a slight return of C the pain. I immediately used Doan's Kidney Pills and they soon relieved A me." (Statement tfiven February 15, 1908). K OVER SIX YEARS LATER, Mr. Chambers said: "Whenever I have B had a return attack of kidney complaint, Doan's Kidnev Pills have F promptly relieved me." I Price 50c. at all dealers.
