plattsmonth People Know
Ilow to Save It.
Many Plattsmouth people take
their lives in their hands hy neglect
ing the kidneys when they know theses
organs need help. Sick kidneys are
responsible for a vasrt amount of
Buffering and ill health, but there is no
need to suffer nor to remain in danger
when all diseases and aches and pains
due to weeak kidnys can bo quickly
and permanently cured by the uso of
Doan's Kidney Pills. Heie is a Platts
mouth citizen's recommendation.
J. L. McPinncy, Lincoln Ave.,
Plattsmouth, Neb., says: "Doan's
Kidney pills, procured from Gering
and Co s drug store, have been used
in my family and have brought prompt
relief from kidney disotdera after
other remedies hnd failed. In 1900
I publicly recommended Doan's Kid
ney Pilk for the benefit of other kid
ney stlffcrecrs and at this time I have
no ieason whatever to withdraw one
word from that statement."

IN A MEXICAN JAIL
Food and Bedclothes Scanty, but
There's Money For Cigarettes.
"Beating your way through Mex
ico," said the man who had been
there, "is a snap compared with the
same unconventional method of
traveling in the United States. The
engineers and brakemen on the
freight trains are nearly all Arncri
cans, and they generally welcome a
fellow from homo.
"There's one drawback, though
Tho authorities are tickled to death
to catch an American breaking the
law in that way. It means a jail
sentenco every time wiih hard labor,
and it is hard labor and no mistake
about it. .
"At a watering tank near Her
mosillo, in the Etate of Sonora,
braced the engineer of a freight
train for a ride. lie was a gruff
6ort of chap and seemed to have a
bad grouch on that day.
" 'I don't give a curse what you
do,' ho said, 'but I won't have you
in ray cab, and all the car3 are seal
ed. Ride on the cowcatcher if ycu
like.'
"I was foolish enough to follow
Ills" suggestion and had a gTeat time
for an hour or bo. But I wasn t fa
miliar with the country, and we
were sneaking into Ilennosillo be
fore I realized that it was timo to
remove myself. A policeman caught
sight of me and waved his arms
frantically. As Boon as tho train
slowed down a bit I made a jump
for it, but the Mexican cop was
right there. Before I knew where
I was I found myself sentenced to
twenty days or a twenty dollar fine,
They shoved me into a cell al
ready occupied by six Mexicans,
They seemed to be half starved, but
I was surprised to notice that they
were all smoking cigarettes. It was
the siesta hour, and I thought that
if smoking was permitted Mexican
prisoners must be rarely well treat
ed. I 60on discovered my mistake.

work was hard and the sun was hot.
I was half dead by the time work
was called off.
"For simper they served us red
bonns frijoles is the native name
boiled in plain water; no meat or
bread and only a limited supply of
salt. A ragged quilt was given me
as my covering, and I was supposed
to sleep on the floor among my Mex

The next morning I understood
the cigarette game. As they march
ed us to work the comandante
handed each man a small coin. 'For
cigarettes,' he said, with an amiable
wave of his hand. Later on I dis
covered that the custom is univer

"On Sundays they had a new job
for us. Instead of mending the
pavement they set us to sweeping
the main thoroughfare. The brooms
consisted of green branches broken
off tho nearest tree, and we were
merely supposed to stir up the dust
and 6wcep it into little heaps. No
body ever came to cart it away when
we were through. It was a comical
business, though humiliating at the
same time. One week was just
about enough for me. I saved up
my cigarette money for a few days
and paid a boy to take a message to
a gringo friend who lived in Her
mosillo. It happened to be Sunday,
and when he came down he found
me at my street sweeping job. It
struck him as being 60 funny that
he laughed for five minutes before
he could explain his business. Then
he paid my fine and took me home
to a good dinner." Baltimore

Slow Farming.
"It says here that the government

remarked the oldest inhabitant as he
opened his weekly paper In the coun

"Give me the paper, Hezeklah," has

in with a basket of eggs. t
"What do yeou want with it, Ja

"By crlcky, I want to Bhow it to my
hired man and let him apply for a
Job on one of them snail farms."
"Shucks! An ordinary hired man
wouldn't be any use on a snail farm.
The blamed critters would run over
him."

Davis sought to draw a throw
so as to give Fultz a chance to

to make the try, and Davis went
down to second unopposed.
This did not satisfy Harry,
however, and on the very nest
ball pitched ho started back to

his head nnd, being nonplused
by tho unusual play, threw to
the first baseman. This was Just
what. Fultz was waiting for, and
he dashed for home. The first

LOS ANGELESJMTO.MEET.
Crack Driven to Compete In Races on
Coast April 8-13 and 15-17.
Great , preparations are being made
for the inaugural meet of the Los An
geles (Cat.) motordrome, April 8, 13,
15 and 17. Judging by the number of
high class cars uud crack drivers en
tered, the meeting should be a success
ful one. liaees at all sorts of dis
tances will give every form of car
specially built ou "stock" an oppor
tunity to show to its best ndvautage
in numerous events without having to
face great odds and being outclassed,
as is the ease when there is a small
program.
lu addition to this, the management
hns decided to hold n twenty-four
hour race on the "great plnnked dish."
The A. A. A. has been asked to set
aside April 30 and- May 1 for this
long contest. It is expected that ow
ing to the few chauges of tires made
necessary and the fast surface of the
track nil world's twenty-four hour rec
ords, including those made by Edge
at Brooklands track, England, will be
beaten.
For the inaugural meet large cash
prizes are offered for professional
events and handsome trophies for
amateur races, and the fields in each
class are expected to be larger than
usual.
Among the drivers entered are Bar
ney Oldfleld. George Robertson, Burt
DIngley, Joa Mattson, Ray Harroun.
Ralph De Talma, Frank Leseault and
Caleb Bragg, as well as Edward
Ilcarne, the Chicago amateur.
In addition to these, a number of
prominent const drivers hope to show
some of the eastern stars a thing or
two about making speed.

THE TAILOR'S SONG
Fit out at Frank's get a suit up to date, .
Right in the fashion of woolens first rate.
A suit that will fit goods sound as a bell,
No outside shops will fit you as well,
Keep track of Mac's good value he sells.
Mac builds good clothes garments all neat,
Chicago's ready made agents cannot compete.
Examine his line and prices all through,
Look him up for a suit, saves money for you.
Reliable goods, all through his line,
Order a suit for the on coming spring time,
You find value for money here every time.
