Get Back Your Health as Other Plattsmouth Folks Have Done Too many people suffer lame, ach ing backs, distressing kidney disor ders and rheumatic aches and pains. Otten this is due to faulty kidney ac tion anel there's danger of hardened arteries, elropsy, gravel or Bright's disease. Don't let weak kidneys wear you out. Use Doan's Pills before it is too late! Doan's are a stimulant diuretic to the kidneys. Doan's have helped thousands. . They should help you. Here is one of many Platts mouth cases: Leland O. Bennett, residing in the west part of the city, says: "Heavy lifting together with exposure weak ened my kidneys. My kidneys acted uo freely I had to get up several times at night and the secretions scalded in passage. My back became so lame and sore I could hardly work, and a dull, gnawing ache made me lose my sleep at night. After using one box of Doan's Pills from the Mauzy Drug Co., I was relieveel and I am not subject to these attacks any more." Mr. Bennett is only one of many Plattsmouth people who have grate fully endorseel Doan's Pills. If your back aches if your kidneys bother you, don't simply ask for a kidney remedy ask distinctly for DOAN'S PILLS, the same that Mr. Bennett had- the remedy backed by home testimony. 60 cents at all dealers.

LEAVING FOR FLORIDA From Saturday's Dally Rohert L. ProDSt and daughters. Miss Roberta and Mrs. Edna Sinde- lar of Omaha, are to leave Tuesday from this city via auto for Lake Worth Florida, where ilr. Frooat litis litn making iiis home Cor the past few years in the winter season. The daughters will also visit tnere anel at Havanna, Cuba, where Miss Mayola Propst is now located.

AMPLE SIZE TO BE GIVEN FIRST CQNS1BEBAT!! Community Building to be a Credit to Citv Substantial Structure with Good Roof and Floor With the policies of free usage and nominal rental of the new commun ity building covered by satisfactory pledges on the part of the American Legion, which is backing the move to secure the building for Platts mouth, inquiries have arisen as to the size of the building. This, too, has been partially outlined heretofore, but re-explanations are worth while. The Legion has considered all along that anything smaller than the 60 by 120 fe'et dimensions covered in the architect's original plans, would be inadequate in size. Withal, a building of this size, with basement dining room and gym, a two story front, etc., would cost well above $30,000. This sum is prohibitive for two reasons, first, because undoubt edly not enough money could be sub scribed to secure a loan of the bal ance and second, because the assump tion of such an indebtedness as this would entail would place an impos sible burden upon the Legion to ac complishment its repayment and even might eventually result in mortgage foreclosure and loss of the building to the community. However, it has been found that by folding to the. same general size, but eliminating the basement (except for heating plants, shower baths and toilets) and by cutting out the two story front, as well as the marble window caps, iron grill work, etc., the building could be constructed for around ? 18,000, and this would in clude a durable structural steel trus sed roof and stuccoed front. The as sembly floor would be of the same gooel quality and size, the space at the sides of the lobby would be used for the same purpose as originally intended, namely, a public rest room anel committee and check rooms. The stage would also be built along the original lines. Of course, the details themselves will all be up to the Legion and Advisory committee, but this general outline is given merely that people may know that we can get a build ing that will answer every purpose fully as well as one more elegantly finished, and yet that will present a creditable appearance. Anel best of all, an impossible indebtedness will not have to be incurred in order to get it. The Omaha auditorium has served the public interest for years and yet is not handsomely or expensively fin ished either inside or out. It is soon to be called upon to accommodate the great National Legion convention the largest ever held in Omaha, and will fill the bill as completely as any building of like size, no matter how magnificently it might be finished. The aim will be to secure a good, substantial, neat-appearang building of ample size to accommodate Platts mouth's needs for a good number of years to come. DR. WURL QUITS JACK RABBITS FOR CIIICKENS "Dr." Joe Wurl. tramp printer, journalist and herb doctor, known in most every town in Nebraska, was in Eagle last Saturday anel of course paid the Beacon office a call. Last spring Joe concluded that the con fining duties of a newspaper office jwouiei soon mate him appear as an '.old man and interfere with his chances for getting a wife, and he pined for the wide open spaces where his immagination could run unfetter ed, se established a jack rabbit ranch on the plains of eastern Colorado. They multiplied rapidly and soon his herd had expanded into 457,620 male and female, and he expected to begin marketing when tne number reacheel a million. Biit his hopes were dashed when the whole blamed outfit went on a stampede and he was unable to coax a pair of them back But he was not discouraged; he has a new plan that eloesn't wait on na ture for increase. He started to ship a car of chickens to California. With his poultry car ho pulls into a town, permits a couple of hens to escape, then starts boys out to recover them at five cents per. He says it is amaz ing how his holdings increase, es pecially if he is a few days ahead of a circus. Eagle Beacon. COLUMBUS COUNCIL DEMANDS RESTORATION OF GAS RATE Columbus, Aug. 22.
