A DANGEROUS MISTAKE
Raleigh Mothers Should Not Neglect
Kidney Weakness i'm Children.

Most children have weak kidneys.
The earliest warning is bed-Wetting.
Later comes backache, headache,
languor.
IT'S a mistake to neglect these
To blame the child for it's own dis
tress.
Seek to cure the kidneys
Save the child from deadly kidney
ills.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kid
neys.
Raleigh parents recommend them.
Mrs. A. C. Howell, of 215 e. Davie
st, says my little boy suffered from n
kidney weakness. The secretions from
those organs were thick and he al
ways complained of being unable to
retain it and often wet the bed. He
had a sallow look and his back ached
a great deal and he also had much
headache. l had a doctor attend him
but he seemed to grow worse instead
of better. 1 noticed Doan's Kidney
Pills highly recommended in our pa
pers and l got box of them from
Bobbitt Wynne Drug Company S
store. Before the boy had taken half
of them there was a decided change
for the better. The SecretionS from the
the kidneys became natural, he did
not complain of backache of headache
and there was a wonderful change for
the better in his complexion. Doan's
Kidney Pills are all that is claimed
for them and I will only be too glad to
say SO at any time"

MCCLELLAN WINS IN
THIS FORECAST.
But by Only 5000 to 10000 Votes,
Says the Eagles Informant.
New York World.

"Tammany hopes to win bv 5000 or
10000 votes" is the headline under
which the Brooklyn Eagle last night
printed a forecast of the election
based upon what it says is "a careful,
systematic canvass" made by McClel-
lans managers. 1t is figured out thus:
Mcclellan. E. .24O, 900
Hearst. 20 'VoO
Wins (about Tracys vote) -. 10000
Total poll illegal ball ,ts) SIS, 900
To Hearst the Eagles informant
comedies the vote of the skilled labor
ers, so per cent. of the city's en-
ployees. SIS per cent. of the Metropoli-
tan street railway employees, 80 per
cent of the policemen (alleging that
that percentage of them are gfafters
and as such against Mcclellan and
for HearsD, and less than 10 per cent.
Of the firemen.
WINS is conceded 100000 because
that is what Tracey got in the van
Wyck campaign. Hearst in order
to win will have to get five votes in
every twelve.

Washington, Nov. 3.-Ambassador
Sternberg, who has been in Germany
several months, returned to Washing
ton last evening He brought with
him the invitation OF the German gov
eminent for the negotiation Of new
trade agreement between the United
States and Germany. The invitation
expresses sincerely Germany's wish
fer a trade agreement with the United
States and in its general tenor is in
keeping with sentiments expressed by
Chancellor Won Buelow, in defining
that countrys attitude on this subject
in an interview with the Associated
Press in Berlin several days ago. In
that interview the prince suggested
that perhaps an agreement could be
obtained most expeditiOusly by a
meeting of ten men from each country
having special acquaintance with GUS
toms and tariff matters, thus giving
opportunity for open and frank inter-
jchange of views and friendly expla-
nations.

providing for fire extinguishers. This
count the court declared to be defec-

court has no jurisdiction. They claim
that even if all the allegations of the

the claim that the statute of limita-

an act without opposition providing
that the states rights should be pre-
