Statements That May Be Investigated
Testimony of Loup City Citizens.
When a Limp City cftizen comes to
the front, telling his friends and
to ghbors of his experience, you can
rely un his sincerity. The statements
of people residing in far away places
do not command your confidence.
Heine endorsement is the kind that
bucks Moan's Kidney Pills. Such tes
tintony is convincing. Investigation
proves jt true Relow is a statement
of a Loup City rcsindci f. No stronger
proof of merit can be li id.
James Johansen Loup City, says:
I was in pretty bad shape with my
back and couldn't stoop or straighten
•ip without being in misery. Sharp
rains often seized me and I dropped
to the ground As soon as I began
using Dona's Kidney I’ills which 1

Take Me Back to Old Kentucky.
! Take me back to old Kentucky.
Where the Crystal waters glint
As they dance along their borders.
Thro the fragrant beds of mint;
Where the lasses and the horses
Are but terms of grace and speed.
And the whiskey and the statesmen
Both are noted for their ‘•bead".
Take me back to old Kentucky,
Where the strong waters flow so free.
I Where they cool off in the summer
| 'Xeath the spreading julip tree;
; Where the highball and the low balls
i Always hit the center square.
I And you never have next morning
| Hheumatism in your hair.
Take me back to old Kentucky,
Where the blue grass decks the hills
Where they have no use for water
Safe for operating mills;
For they scorn it as a beverage
On that dark and bloody ground.
As they claim e’re since the deluge
That it tastes of sinners drowned.
Take me back to old Kentucky,
To the state*where 1 was born.
Where the corn is full of kernels.
And the Colonels full of corn;
Where to disapprove that beverage
U to toy with certain death.
And they have a bonded warehouse
Where they barrel up their breath.
Take me back to old Kentucky.
Let me^iear the fifties pop;
See the pigs and politicians
With their snouts eye deep in slop.
Take me back to her blue mountains
Where they argue points with lead.
But you need not rush the matter.
Take me back when 1 am dead.

Director Turner is godfather of film
actors. Kindness to all has gained
him title of “Grand Old Man” of the
movies. Otis Turner, the director
whose first picture for William Fox
is “The Mediator,” is known as the
“grand old man” of the films. Turner
is the fairy godfather (if there is such
a thing) of all the players who have
worked under him. and he holds this
place without rival in the moving-pic
ture world. Just after the director
started the taking of "The Mediator,”
a little woman called on him at his
office, told her story, and proceeded to
faint. Mr. Turner promptly summoned
his automobile placed the woman in
the tonneau, and broke all records for
a dash to the hospital. Here, he got a
room for the patient, summoned ex
pert advice, told the nurse to have all
hills sent to him and hurried back to
his work and his office “Who was
the woman?” A friend asked Otis
Turner., “1 dont know” answered the
director, smiling; “she worked for me
in a picture years ago. I’ve forgotten
her name; she had quite a small part.
But she’ll have to be taken care of.”
That is why the photoplay world loves
Otis Turner. Opera house Saturday
