OVERTAXFD
Hudriii ?I Alaaka Raadara Know!
What It Maana
The kidneys are overtaxed:
Have too much to do.
They tell about it in many aches and
pains?
Backache, sideache, headache,
Harly symptoms of kidney ills.
I'rinarv troubles, diabetes, Jir ifjht's
disease follow.
W. R. Mcintosh, of >93 Harrison Ave. j
Astoria, Oieg., says: "For years, off
and on, I suffered a good deal from a
deranged ccndition of the kidneys and
lameness and aching across the small of
my back, which annoyed me very much
at my work and made it painful to stoop
over or lift anything. I often thought
I was troubled with gravel, so painful
was the passage of the kidney secretions.
Doan's Kidney Pills came to my notice
and 1 procured them at a drug store.
They helped me from the tirst and soon
relieved the pain and lameness in my
back, corrected and regulated the kid
ntv secretions, and tbe lapse of time
[ since 1 gave my first statemtnt regard
ing my satisfactory experience with
your remedy, has shown that the bene
fit derived la atill of a lasting nature."

TAKES WILL
Pnblic School Eut'ertaiu
meut Attended by Many
The Christmas program at the public
school yesterday, the last day of schcol
before the two weeks' holiday vaca
tion, brought ojt the parents aud friends
of the school children in full force.
The three rooms in which there were
celebrations were filled to the extent
of their capacities. It is estimated
that more than :!00 were present.
The programs were excellent and
their execution again emphasized the
good results that are being secured at
the school.
The chiof interest centered in the
debate upon the resolution:
"Resolved. That children should be
taught to believe in Santa Claus."
The cause of good old Santa was
stoutly championed by the Misses De
Witt aod Neillie Orchard. The old
myth which forms so ranch of the rec
ollections of our childhoo'1. was very
ablv assailed by the .Misses Viola
Powell and Eleanor Leslio. The de
ciaion was for the negative.
The defenders ol Santa Claus declared
he causes the children to have greater
Interest and enjoyment in Christmas:
that he gives the patents a gi eater
control over the children because they
can compel them to be good by saying
that Santa only rewards the goo 1;
that he adds the beauty aod imagery
to the day that makes it something
to look forward to with profound ex
pectations; that there is that about him
that fits into child life with such ap
propriateness that it would be harmful
to remove it.
The opponents of Santa set forth that
to teacn that there is a Santa Claus
that, rewards the good children, is to
teach something that is not true and
I that all falsehoods are harmful: tbat
I there is so much of the supernatural
| about him that a belief in him makes
children superstitious: that when the
awakening comes it cause?, a great
disappointment in the life of a cUild,
causing him to lose faith in all thai
is told him; that causes poor children
to expect more than they can receive
and to feel thai they are neglected
when ihey compare their lot with that
of their richer neighbors in a way that
they are not. and 'hat in hiding
presents from the children it causes
the parents to practice deception, and.
to teach it.
F-aci side made strong arguments on
the merits of its points.
