Some Pertinent Questions That Can BE
Answered with One Reply.

WHY is it that in Rock Island and
its suburbs, with Il com bined popula-
tion of - 900, there is only one medi-
cinal preparation which gives state
ments from residents TO back up its
reputation? Why is it that Doan' s
Kidney Pills do this in Rock Island,
as we'll as in, every other city and
town of any Importance in the union ?
Why is it that there are advertised in
every newspaper Il dozen rem edies,
and only one can supply local proof,
local endorsement of its claims? The
solution of the problem is simple.
Only one remedy has the curing and
staying power. Other remedies max e
futile vet gigantic efforts to get local
proof, but the attempt ends in pro-
ducing a statement or two that as far
as Rock Island citizens are concerned
might as well be in the moon. Here
is Rock Island proof that backs up
the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills.
John Taylor, of 743 Fourteenth
street, grocer, says:\ ''For some time
off and on, 1 suffered from dull pain
in the small of my back, which / at
tributed to the sluggishness of my
kidneys. There were no other symp-
toms of kidney trouble, but L was
anxious to get rid of it before further
complications set in which might be
more difficult to check. Doan's Kid
ney Pills were called to my attention,
so / obtained box from the Harper
house drug store. l took them regu-
larly, and although L only used this
one box it was sufficient to cure me.
l have not had the trouble since, so l
can safely say am cured. Should 1
ever have a similar attack L will sure
ly use Doan's Kidney Pills and 1 do
not hesitate to recommend them to
any person as a reliable remedy to
cure backache.''

Miles Speaks Frankly.

In frank and fearless fashion Gen.
Miles answers questions without hesi-
tation or evasion before the house
committee oD military affairs. do
you not think, " the general was asked,
'that some of the mistakes of the war
could have been avoided if the secre-
tary of war had consulted more freely
the heads of the army and had con-
fined his attention principally to his
ministerial functions as the admins
trative head of the department."
The reply came promptly: Il GER
tainly do.
Gen. Miles tells of the method of
picking out a commander for the Gu
ban army of invasion by the secretary
of war. He observed: 1T would
have been perfectly simple if the sec
retary at the outbreak of the war did
not like the general in command of
the army to pass him by and take the
next officer in rank by placing the
commanding officer at home on wait
ing orders; or, if he did not like the
second in rank, to send him home on
waiting orders, and so on down the
line, until he found the man whom he
believed to be the proper man for the
place. But to pass over the heads of
the commanding officers and 90 so far
down the line as to pick out subor-
dinate, simply because hewas a favor
lite and had some political influence,
could not be tolerated. -
This indictment against those who
planned and carried out the Santiago
campaign is not an extract from a
yellow journal. " 1t is the testimony
of the major-general commanding the
army. Political influence. There
place the responsibility of the negli-
gence which was the cause of the suf-
fering and death of many of our brave
