A Teachers Testimony.

Hinton, KY, Oct. 30th-(Special.)
1t has long been claimed that Dia-
betes is incurable, but Mr.. e. ].
Thompson, teacher in the Hinton
school, has pleasing evidence to the
contrary. Mr.. Thompson had Diabe-
ties. He took Dodd's Kidney Pills and
is cured. In statement he makes
regarding the cure Mr.. Thompson
says:
II was troubled with my kidneys
for more than two years and was
treated by two of the best doctors in
this part of the state. They claimed
| had Diabetes and there was little to
be done for me. Then | started to
use Dodd's Kidney Pills and what they
did for me was wonderful 1t is en-
tirely owing to Dodds Kidney Pills
that l am now enjoying good health"
Many doctors still maintain that Di-
abetes is incurable. But Diabetes is a
kidney disease and the kidney disease
that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure
has yet to be discovered.

BUSINESS IN THAT STATE.
The New Battle Ships Are to ee Larg-
er Than Ever-The Twenty
Thousand Ton Mark
Nearly Reached.

With practically a bankrupt treas
ury and a clash between Secretary
Taft and Chairman Shonts, the Pana-
ma canal commission is confronted
with a situation that makes a gloomy
view of the outlook.
The fact that probably not a dollar
will remain in the commission's hands
by December 81, so It is said. On Octo-
Der 81 about 100000 was on hand.
The salaries OF employees on the 18th
mus amount to S450.000 or more a
month; contracts have been entered
into for large sums and these, with
other expenses, will wipe out by the
last of the year the amount now on
hand.
Almost Immediately upon converting
congress will be asked to meet prompt
ly this condition by making an emeI-
gency appropriation of possibly $10,'
100000 out of the original lump sum
of $130,000,000 authorized for the canal
work. The proposition to enact legisla-
ton so as TO enable the issue of bonds
may also come up at that time, but
what the commission wants is action
before congress takes its recess for
the Christmas holidays. This, in all
likelihood, ii will rot get.

Representative Arthur j. Waters, OF
Manchester, wants the legislature To
look into the fire insurance business
of Michigan at the next session. he
says: 1T is well known that the fire
insurance companies doing business
in this state are banded into one vast
combine for the purpose of forcing
tribute from the people. Although the
ratio of losses paid to premiums re-
ceived has stood at 46 per cent In
Michigan for the last three years, the
new system Of scheduling each indi-
vidual risk is doing some remarkable
things.
THE effect the central board has in
making advisory rates, which are
really compulsory rates, is TO destroy
competition and put the premiums as
high as possible. In the last session |
introduced house bill No. 740, file No.

compelling fire insurance companies to
do business on a competitive basis, and

PARALYSIS CURED
Case Seemed Hopeless but Yielded to
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Mr.. Kenney has actually escaped from
the paralytic's fate to which he seemed
short time ago hopelessly doomed. The
surprising report has been fully verified
and some important details secured in
personal interview with the recent suf-
ferer.
1.-The DOCTOR" said Mr.. Kenney, told
me that if l wanted to live any length
of time l would have TO give up work al
together, and he told my friends that
the paralysis which had begun would in
time involve my whole body"
Just how were you afflicted at this
time ?" Mr. Kenney was asked.
"Well, | had first hot, and then cold
and clammy feelings, and at times my
body felt as if needles were being stuck
into it. These sensations were followed
by terrible pains, and again would have
no feeling at all, but numbness would
come over me, and / would not be able 10
move. The most agonizing tortures came
from headaches and pain i'll the spine.

period often wonder how l retained my
reason through it all.
4" But relief came quickly when I
was induced TO try DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. The very frstlb
seemed to help me, and seven boxes made
ME entirely well. There can be no doubt
about the thoroughness of my cure, for I
have worked steadily ever since and that
is nearly four years"

satisfactory results, is sold by all drug

old kind of coffee had so poisoned my
whole system that | was on the point
of breaking down, and the doctor
warned me that | must quit 1t.
My chief ailment was nervousness

me faint and weak.

to drink it when left off the old cof-
fee. II began to help me just as soon
as the old effects of the other kind OF
coffee passed away. IL did not slim
ulate me for while, and then leave
me weak and nervous as coffee used
to do. Instead Of that ii built up my
strength and supplied a constant vigor
to my system which | can always re-
ly on. 1t enables me to do the big
gest kind OF days work without
