These countries now include: Alaska, Anguilla, Antigua, Argen tina, Bahama Islands, Barbuda, Bar bados, Bermuda, Bolivia, Bon Ayre, Brazil, British Guiana. British Hon duras, British Virgin Islands, Cana da, Canal Zone, Columbia, Costa Ri ca, Cuba, Curacao, Dominica, Domin ican, republic, Dutch West Indies, Ecuador, England, Grenada, the Grenadines, Guam, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras, Ireland, Jamaica, Lee ward Islands, Martinique.

To bago, Tutuilla, Samoa: Trinidad, Virgin Islands of United States, western Samoa; Wlnward Islands. Postal officials have no complete statistics showing to what extent the 2-cent rate has stimulated foreign correspondence. Some slight indica tion is given in figures relating to letter mail to Bermuda, to which British colony the 2-cent rate was extended March 1. During- that month 2,416 pounds of American let ters were sent forward to Bermuda. Assuming for purposes of compari son, they each weigh one ounce, that quantity would represent 38, 606 let ters. At the 2-cent rate they cost $770.12 in postage, while at the 5- cent rate they would have cost $1,- 932.80. There is a saving of ?1. 159.80 in postage, therefore. In March last year 1.S92 pounds of American letters went to Bermuda. They would represent 30,273 on the same basis, of 8.3S2 fewer letters than sent in March this year, when the 2-cent rate was in effect. DON'T MISTAKE THE CAUSE Many Plattsmouth People Have Kid ney Trouble and Do Not Know It How About You? Do you have backache? Are you tired and worn out? Feel dizzy, nervou3 and depressed? Are the kidney secretions irregu lar? Highly colored: contain sediment? Likely your kidneys are at fault. Weak kidneys give warning of dis tress. Heed the warning; don't delay Use a tested kidney remedy. Read this Plattsmouth testimony. Louis Kroehler, a member of the firm of Kroehler Bros., hardware dealers. 521 Main street, says: "I had pains in my back and was so lame I could hardly stoop and my kidneys were weak. I had a tired, languid feeling all the time and headaches were common. I got a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills at Rynott's drug store and began tak ing them. They soon relieved me of the trouble. I am pleased to recom mend such a valuable remedy." The above statement was given on April 10, 1912 and on May 12. 1920, Mr. Kroehler added: "I am of the opinion that Doan's Kidney Pills are a splendid remedy for kidney ail ments. I haven't needed them in a number of years. I have great faith in Doan'3." Price 60c. at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Kroehler had.
