Mr. Boland npoke of the board a an
effective medium of spurring the ooun
oilmen to look aflter thp Interests of
the!.- constituents. Then he sali that
the csre of the streets and highways
should be attended to wKh the great
eit concern, for good thoroug'hfares do
more to build up a district and Unorease
the valuo of property than any other
means. Taking up the thread of the
chairman's speech, Mr. Moloney said
that ho ought to (begin by ahirslng him
self for not Joining the board of trade
sooner; that any citizen who 'has the In
terest ot tho community and of himself

A TRAVELED CHECK.
A Short Cut In Hanking Systems Would
Simplify .Matters Greatly.
From the Chicago News.
A merchant at Ionia, Mich., paid a
debt duo n Detroit merchant with a
cheek on the First Nationnl bank of
Ionia. Tho Detroit merchant deposited
the check in his Detroit bank, which
happened to have no Ionia correspon
dent. The Detroit bank sent It to Its
Chicago correspondent. Why, probably
because their Chicago balance was low
and they would collect It at par. The
Chicago bonk sent It to a Muskegon
bank, Its nearest correspondent to Ionia.
The Muskegon bank sent It to Its Orand
Rapids correspondent. The Grand
Rapids bank hnd no Ionia correspon
dent but saw that its Detroit corres
pondent was the correspandent of the
First National bank of Ionia, on which
the check was drawn, so they sent it
again to Detroit. The Detroit bank
then forwnrded it to Ionia, its destina
tion for payment.
I find this check passed through six
banks, being In transit eleven days and
travelled 836 miles. Taking into consid
eration the postage paid twelve times
by the different banks, the stationary
used and the time occupied by clerks In
doing the business, it would seem that
If a short cut for the collection of
checks cart, bo devised it would pay to
adopt it. - i

WHAT ARE KIDNEYS?
I FEW FACTS 1B0UT OUR KIDNEYS MO
WHIT THEY DO FOR US.
A New Nams for Thorn and for Their
' Functions How Dangerous Blood
Troubles and Kidney Diseases
May Be Cured by Seeing
to Our Blood Fillers.
Kidneys are for use, not show.
But they show what they can do
when they keep us well, and bright and
hearty, so long as we treat them right
and do not overwork them.
Our kidneys are there to filter our
blood.
If we give them too much to do they
do less than they ought to do.
They don't filter our blood, and they
won't till we cure them again.
This Is why Dr. Hobb's Sparagus
Kidney Pills cure diseases which are
not kidney diseases, but which are
cauped by the kidneys not filtering the
blood.
The truth is generally deeper than
the surface of things.
If we sec a person who has skin dis
ease, or Rheumatism, or Neuralgia, or
a Pale, Sallow, Bloodless Complexion,
we may know that what Is retlly mak
ing him sick Is his kidneys. Thnt his
blood has not been properly filtered.
That until his kidneys begin to work
he will never be well again.
That Dr. Hobb's Sparagus Kidney
Pills will cure him by curing his kid
neys. When you fall sick be sure you take
tho right medicine.
If it Is ynur blood, see to your filters.
If you cure them, they wllUattend to
your blood.
You need no blood "purifier." Tour
kidneys nre "purifiers" enough.
When they are well, they nre.
Riight's Disease, NephritiB, Conges
tion, Sleeplessness, Hneltache.Sldeaehe,
etc., nre kidney diseases proper.
Dr. Hobb's Sparagus Kidney Pills
will cure them.
Pains In the Muscles nnd Joints,
Headache, Neuralgia, Dizziness, De
pression, Anaemia, Chlorosis, etc., are
blood diseases.
