OVERTAXED
Hundreds of Newport Readers
Know What It Means.
The kidneys are overtaxed;
Have too much to do.
They tell about it in many
aches and pains—
Backache, sideache, headache.
Early symptoms of kidney ills.
Urinary troubles, diabetes,
Bright’s disease follow.
The statement below shows
you a certain eure.
W. M. Shelby, Wheel & Bates
streets, Batesville, Ark., says:
“ I am pleased to give Doan’s
Kidney Pills my recommendation.
They Avere first brought to my at
tention about seven years ago,
when I was living in Little Rock.
At that vrae my work forced me
to bend over a desk a great deal
and I suffered from a constant
backache. Dizzy spells were com
mon and I had difficulty with th
kidney secretions. Doan’s Kid
ney Pills went at once to the seat
of my trouble and effected a cure
No one can imagine how grate
ful I am to this remedy.”
For sale by all dealers. Prica
50 cents. Foster-Milbum Co.,

Coming—J. C. O’Brien’s Famous
Georgia Minstrels.
To the lovers of amusement,
who sit in front night after night
the organization of a show seems
of little moment. What the pub
lic wants, is amusement and that
in big chunks, for their money.
In the re-organization of this
minstrel company Mr. O’Brien
has spared neither time, money
or brains to make his show the
BARNUM of all Colored Minstrel
shows. A company that will
please the most fastidious, from
a moral standpoint, and satisfy
the most exacting of amusement
lovers, both as to quality and
quantity. The costuming of this
vast minstrel show, both on the
street and stage is from the best
wardrobe makers in the world
and in itself, is worth a email for
tune. At noon each day they
give a grand band concert, and
free exhibition on the principal
streets. If you want to see good
minstrelsy, hear good music, gooc
singing, and see good dancing,
don’t miss this show.
Will exhibit at Newport on
Friday, March 24 under the larg
est camnvas theatre ever con
structed. Actually seated with
opera chairs. Don’t forget the
date. Two exhibitions, afternoon
and night.
A Cold, LaGrippe, Then Pneu
monia.
Is too often the fatal sequence.
Foley’s Honey and Tar expels tin
cold, che lagrippe, and prevents
pneumonia. It is a prompt and
reliable cough medicine that con
tains no narcotics. It is as safe
for your children as yourself.
Coal $5.00 Per Ton.
Until further notice I will sell
coal for $5.00 per ton. Good
clean coal, no slack.

Did Not Work Both Ways.
Mr. George Jones, R. A., a painter
of battle pieces, etc., who died some
years ago, specially prided himself on
his resemblance to the Duke of Well
ington and used to dress up to the
character. Someone mentioned the
ftkeness to the duke, and added: "It
must be great, for people in the street
often speak to him for your grace.”
"Very strange,” muttered the great
man; "no one ever spoke to me for
Mr. Jones!”—Edmund Yates.

Plumcot an Inferior Fruit.
The plumcot, a horticultural hybrid
resulting from a cross between one

by many who have sampled it, to be

rHE SECRET OF POPULARITY
Woman Who Hhs Learned to Keep
8elf in Background Makes
a Hit.
As a rule the women who are most
jopular are the ones who have learned j
o keep self in the background.
Haven't you sometimes come across
he woman who talks of nothing but
ier own personal affairs? As soon as
Another topic is introduced, her at- ;
tention wanders and she lets you see 1
pretty plainly that she is not inter- j
?sted. She Isn’t likely to be popular.
Then there is the woman whp Is
never happier than when she is tell
ing you all about her domestic trials
and tribulations, how naughty her
children are, and what a great deal
she has to put up with.
But this Is not the way to become
popular, either. Most of us have
troubles enough of our own, and do
not want to hear too much about tho
worries of our neighbors. If you want
to be really popular, self must be put
In the background, and kept there.
It is the woman who is ready to bo
interested In anything and every
thing, and always willing to hold out
a helping hand to 0117000 who needs
it, who gets the warmfpt welcome.
So, if you want to be pdpflK, l«gB
first to be unselfish, and then teach
yourself to be interested and cheerful
wherever you are, and you will ho
well started on the road to popifr
larlty.
MUNICIPAL KITCHENS PLAN
Former Army Surgeon Has 8eheme
for tho Lengthening of Hu

A former United States surgeon
says that human life may be length

the subject of ventilation, how to

possess the proper certificate of qual
ification.
He might have gone further and
said that in case we have municipal
kltchenB there would also have to be
a municipal kitchen commission in
structed to see that the kitchen pro
vide pure food. Perhaps there would
have to be a kitchen committee above
them to see that the commissioners
were not influenced by “graft”
But many a housekeeper will cling
ter her kitchen to the last She may
accept ready-to-wear clothing, apd
send her washing to the laundry to
be cleaned with the clothes of a hun
dred other families, but most families
like their food cooked in some partic
ular way which renders the commu
nity kitchen, whether in boarding
bouses or fashionable hotels, unsatis

Deserters’ Trying Trip.
The remarkable adventures of two
soldiers, who were captured after a
9,000 miles’ flight from their regiment
In central India, was told to the
Guildford police reoently. A consta
ble saw the two men wearing engin
eers’ overalls, and he himself being
an ex-soldier, his attention was drawn
to the men’s military boots. Then ha
saw one of the men “change step,”
and this so convinced him they were
deserters that he stopped them. They
admitted having deserted from the
Manchester regiment, which was st*
tloned in central India. After a trying
march through the jungle they said
they reached Bombay and concealed
themselves on a troopship bound for
England. Afterwards they passed
themselves as members of the crew,
and when the boat reached South
ampton they made their escape in eiv
glneers’ overalls, and were making foe
London.

Queer Case cf Suicide.
An extraordinary case of suicide
was described at an inquest held on
the body of Alfred HampBon at Vir
ginia Water, In Surrey. It was stated
that Hampson suffered from weak
mindedness. He was left alone in
his private room In a sanatorium for
about twenty minutes, and when his
attendant returned Hampson was
found pressing a red-hot poker into
his body. He informed Doctor Moore
that he had been told he had a devil
inside him, and the only way it could
be killed was by means of a red-hoi
poker. He died next day.
