THEIR RELATIONS STRAINED
France and Germany Unable to Fix
Plans for Moroccan Conference
Status 1ndecisive.

Paris, July 49, Frances relations
with Germany are again showing signs
Of strain, owing to the inability OF
Premier Rouyier and Ambassador Won
Radolin to conclude definite pro-
Crane Of the Moroccan conference.
The agreement Of July 8 contemplated a
joint programme, but the arrangement
of this programme is causing renewed
difficulty, particularly in connection
with Frances right to police the terri.
tory adjoining Algeria and supervise the
maintenance of order throughout the
empire. It is the French view that
these rights follow from the agreement
of July 9, whereas Germany does not
wish to define the extent Of French Pc
lice and financial reforms. The indie
cisive status Of the negotiations has
caused renewed apprehension on the
bourse, and the newspapers have re-
newed their sharp criticism OF Ger
many's course.

WHY IT SUCCEEDS
Because IT'S for One Thing ONLY
and cresco is Learning This.

Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one thing will brings success,
Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing only
They are for sick kidneys.
They cure backache every lridney
ills.
Here is Cresco evidence to prove it.
Mrs. ?. Ferrie, wife of P. Ferrie,
teamster, says;
81 am in doubt as to the date when /
first noticed symptoms OF kidney COM
plant but two years ago the aching
across my back was SO pronounced that
no doubt existed, in my mind, but that
my kidneys required attention /
grew worse in--place of better and
finally a spasm Of pain occurred SO
quickly and unexpectedly that drop
ped helpless and had to be carried to
bed. When in this condition the
slightest touch from friends assisting
me actually made me exclaim. For
days-I was 80 sore and tender that it
was necessary to move me in bed with
the sheet. l improved slowly only to
have recurrence aud as these spells
continued was confined to my bed
the greater part of the time. Now
when one has been under the best OF
treatment given bysskillful physicians
and when medicine OF all kinds fall to
do Its promised work you eventually
become discouraged, 80 that when I
went to the j. II. Luers Drug Co. g
store for Doan's Kidney Pills expect
ed very little If any result. Much to
my surprise, and certainly great
deal more to my satisfaction, the
treatment proved very efflcacious. A
continuation of it has 80 lessened the
pain in my back and improved me
general condition that I am able to
attend to the ordinary household du-
ties without inconvenience. For the
undoubted benefit received from
Doan's Kidney Pills am more than
pleased to recommend them.
