plicants for relief in the knowledge
that thorough investigation IS re-
Quired Such an investigation is open
TO no criticism or objection when ac-
companied by the sympathy which is
felt by every true charity worker for

was sl9,154. whereas the amount eX-
pended in the previous year was S22,-

Half the nervousness, half the irri-
liability that is so common in every
day life. is really sickness. and in
most cases a condition that accom-
panies kidney trouble.
1t is the work of the kidneys to
keep the blood free from uric acid
and other poisons. but when the kid
neys are sick, and not doing their
duty, the uric acid poison permeates
the body, and attacks body. brain and
nerves. The irritation causes nerv-
BUSINESS, irritability. headache, dizzy
spells; makes you ranguid. unfit for
work and inclined to worry over trifies.
Besides. there is nothing more annoy
ing than a bad back. and backache
is-sthe most common sign of kidney
trouble. You feel lame and tired in
the morning. suffer day and night
with dull aching in the back. and it
hurts to stoop or bend or lift
Keep your temper cool. and get the
kidneys well. No person can feel
cheerful and healthy If the kidneys
are the least bit affected. A few doses
of Doan's Kidney Pills. taken in the
beginning. will set the kidneys right.

Traders POIicy-HoIders Not Ready to
Name New Receiver.

Additional investigation Will be made
by the Traders Policy-holders' Com
pany before the proposition will be ac-
cepted that they shall get together and
name A new receiver for the Traders
Insurance Company. A meeting of the
directors of the company was held in
its headquarters yesterday. The full
drift of the new move by the attorney
for the receiver in this direction was
not entirely understood, and it was de-
cided to wait a little before either ac-
cepting or rejecting.
The receiver has complained that few
adjustments of losses have been
reached. To explain this a copy of a
letter from a large policy holder de-
failing his experience with Adjuster
Jackson in Oakland was sent to the
receiver. The policy holder wr tie that
he had visited Jackson in August and
that a horizontal cut of 20 per cent was
the sort of adjustment that was offered
him. His experience accorded with
that of other policy-holders who went
to the Oakland Office of the Traders
Company on a similar errand.
