WE WANT TO TELL YOU
Why Your Back is Lame-Why II
Aches and Pains, and How to
Cure IL.

Do you know what it is to have back
that is never free from aches and con-
slant pain, a lame back, sore back,
and an aching back, in fact. back
that makes your life burden? What
have you done for it, and does it still
keep you from the happiness that per-
feet health brings to all? We know
full we'll that If such is your condition
u cure for it would be blessing you
no doubt desire. Plasters won't do it,
but may assist in bringing strength;
liniment won't do it, for while it may
give temporary relief 1t does not reach
the cause. The cause, there's the
point, there's where to make the at
tack. Most backaches come from dis.
ordered kidneys; therefore you must
correct their action IL you would be
cured. People in Marietta are testify.
ing that Doan's Kidney Pills cure bad
Backs" and it is not hard to prove
their statements.
Mrs Stufflebean of No. $50 Third
street, says: "Trouble with my kid.
neys extends back or s years, the
pain being mostly down the small OF
the back, where it hurt to stoop over,
or to lift anything. l was always
worse when l over-exerted myself or
caught cold. / was feeling quite bad
when / got box of Doans Kidney
Pills at w. II. Styer's drug store on
Front street. They did not only re-
lieve and strengthen my back, and re-
move other symptoms of kidney trou-
BILE, but they seemed to tone my sys,
tenn up and make me feel physically
better and stronger. l felt good eff
feet from their use in three or four
days and had no use for plasters of any
kind after taking Doan's Kidney Pills

A Short Session and Little Important
Business.

A Short Session and Little Important
Business.
Council met in regular session Tues
day evening with the following mem
bers in their seats: Trautman, Wittlig,
Hardy, Cochlan, Price, Henry, Garrison
and Wood. In the absence of Presi-
dent Mcclure and Vice President Bach.
man MIR. Trautman was unanimously
chosen to preside.
Upon motion of DIR. Hardy the read
ing OF the minutes Of the preceding
meeting was deferred.
Mr.. Garrison, chairman Of the police
committee, reported upon the bill of
w. j. Gilpin for SO, for services as spe-
cial policeman at the G. A. r Fair,
stating that the committee could not
recommend the payment of the bill.
Mr.. Gilpin was employed and sworn in
by the Mayor, serving six days. The
committee left the matter in the hands
of Council. A lengthy discussion was
entered into during which the opinion
was given by the Solicitor that under
existing ordinances the payment of the
bill would be illegal. The ordinance
provides that before reserve policemen
may be appointed their names must be
sent to Council for approval. 1t was
the general opinion that as Mr.. Gilpin
had acted in good faith he should be
paid, and upon motion of Price the
claim was allowed.
DIR. Henry called attention to the
fact that a number of insurance policies
on the City Hall will expire this month
and the matter was referred to the
Building committee.
Mr.. Cochlan complained that the c.
G. M Ry. is obstructing street crossings
with trains and during the discussion
Mr.. Wood offered motion requiring
that road to put in alarm signals al
Second, Third, Fourth and Seventh
streets. The motion prevailed.
Bills allowed. Council adjourned.

A man named P. Downing, of Cairo,
received a pair of frozen feet Saturday
night while walking to Parkersburg.
He is in terrible condition and is being
cared for by the city authorities.
Downing says he had been working in
the oil fields, but has been ont of job
for long time, and was discouraged,
having had nothing to eat for three
days, until he struck the city lookup.
He continues to be cared for, at pres
ent, at the city Jail, but arrangements
will probably be made to transfer him
to boarding house at the city's ex-
uenSe.

Too Much Salary.

The oil inspectors of Ohio have had a
pretty fat thing. Their reports show
that they haye been getting $4,000 to
$40, 900 year. 1t is said an effort will
be made to cut down these nice emolu-
ments to. an honest figure and make a
saving of many thousands of dollars to
the state. The office of state oil in
spector has been an aggravated case of
too much salary. 1t is an elegant time
to reduce expenses.
