A number of Holt county teachers have been giving entertainments and turning in the amount raised for Red Cross work. This is very commendable, and en couraging to the officers of the O’Neill Chapter, and we hope more of the teachers will take up the work.

We have not the list of those who are knitting, but they will be pub lished in an early issue. Now what are YOU doing for your Red Cross? Are you knitting, sew ing, or making surgical dressings? Are you ready to meet our boys when they come back from the front? Can you look them in the face and say, “While you were risking your lives for Our Country I was at home doing nothing,” or are you ready to say, “I stayed at home and did everything I could, made every sacrifice I could.” If you cannot go up and sew, can you take care of some other mother’s children, so that she can go?

Eevery O’Neill woman who is having backache, 'blue and nervous spells, dizzy headaches and kidney or bladder troubles, should be glad to heed this O’Neill woman’s experience: Mrs. A. J. Mohr says: “I had weak kidneys for years and gradually be came worse until I was completely discouraged. For fifteen years I suf fered from pain in my back and sides. I was restless at night and evefy day it seemed impossible to go through my day’s work for as soon as I lifted the least thing or when I got up from a chair, a pain caught me in my back. I happened to read of a case of a nerson who had been helped wonder fully by Doan’s Kidney Pills, so I sent for some to Gilligan & Stout’s Drug Store. I had taken but a few when I began to feel better. I kept on using them and I rapidly gained in health and strength until I was free from the trouble. It has been over a year now since I have had any need of Doan’s.” 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milbvrn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. IN THE DAYS OF THE LONG AGO. Thirty Years Ago.
