A FATAL MISTAKE

It's a fatal mistake to neglect back
ache. Backache is the first symptom
of kidney ills. Serious complications
follow. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
them promptly. Don't delay until

Bright's disease. Read what a Rock
Island citizen says. Patrick Rooney,
bricklayer, says:
Taken with a soreness across my
loins and other symptoms of kidney
complaint, l went to a physician, VIII ,
treated me at intervals for three
years. Receiving little, if any, bene-
fit, i resorted to advertised sure
cures. but the trouble resisted all nv
efforts, the intense pain in the small
of my back and limited control over
the kidney secretions being always in
evidence. Learning of Doan's kidney
Pills, l procured a box at the Harpe
house drug store. If that one box
had not helped me l never would have
followed up the treatment and
bought five more. l have been ex-
posed to all kinds of weather. but up
to date there has not been a symp-
tom of recurrence"

Deputy Nogesang of the California COM

The crime for which they must paw the

stroying them wholesale for several
years.
Prof. Cloudsley Rutter. Edwin c..
Starks and Prof Snodgrass, made n
thorough investigation of the habits of
the suspected animal and have rendered
an exhaustive report to the United States
fish commission. They are unanimous in
the belief that the sea-lions should be
killed off extensively, but not wholly ex-
terminated.
During the fall of 1898 and the spring
of 1899 the salmon fishers made numer-
Gus calls for relief from sea-lions to the
state commission. 1t was then stated
that the animals were fast increasing in
the bays and rivers and that their de-
struction of edible fish was becoming n
very serious matter. They followed sal
mon for more than 100 miles inland. The
managers of the canneries. the buyers
for the San Francisco markets and the
fish commission patrol supported the
claims of the fishermen fully.
