J. K. Codding, warden of the Kansas penitentiary, lays the blame on "The Little Alley Joints" that exist all over Kansas, where, he says, men and boys congregate night after night to play poker, shoot craps, and indulge in debauchery. Iiee the warden' report on paste 43 of the Proceedings of the Kana onference of Charities and Corrections, Jirld at Lawrence, Kaunas, ovemher, 1915. v Judge Roy T. Osbornei of Independence, Kansas On pae 13 of the same report, says: "In the little more than ten years the juvenile court has been estab lished in Kansas, children under sixteen years of age, in this, state, have committed practically every crime in the calendar, including murder in the first degree. It is astounding to observe the absolute indifference of many parents to the moral welfare of their offspring. In nearly every community there are places and forms of amusement unwholesome for children." - M G. McKenzIe, Chaplain of the Reformatory in Kansas Says on page 59 c the Firat Biennial Report. Kansas State Board of Cor rections! "Of these boys, 202 acknowledged they drank more or less; 275 used tobacco, 77 gambled. Most of these boys ran around considerable, and were away from home, when they got into trouble; 265 were 'from homes broken by death or divorce." THE AIXEY JOINT in Kansas is the corrupting In fluence that lands so many Kansas hoys in the Re formatory and Industrial School. Prohibition Breeds the Alley Joint. .

BACKACHE IS DISCOURAGING But Not So Bad If You Know How to Reach the Cause. Nothing more discouraging than a constant backache. Lame when you awaken, pains pierce you when you bend or lift. It's hard to work or to rest. Backache often indicates bad kidneys. Plattsmouth people recom mend Doan's Kidney Pills. Read this case: Mrs. Adam Kurtz, 818 Avenue C, Plattsmouth, says: "I was suffering intensely from my back and kidneys end couldn't stoop or stand erect. When I was on my feet, there was a dull, nagging ache through the small of my back which robbed me of my energy. My sight became affected and dark spots appeared before my eyes. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from the Crescent Pharmacy, relieved me of all these troubles in a short time." (Statement given April 19, 1912). On February 23, 1916, Mrs. Kurtz raid: "I couldn't recommend any thing equal to Doan's Kidney Pills for kidney trouble. Whenever I need a kidney medicine, I take Doan's Kidney Pills for they always do me good." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Kurtz has twice publicly recom mended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.
