WORK WEAKENS THE KIDNEYS.
Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done Great
Service for People Who Work
in Cairo.

| Most Cairo people who work every
day in some strained, unnatural posi-
| tion--bending constantly over a desk
riding on joltlng wagons or cars
| doing laborious housework: lifting
, reaching or pulling, or trying the back
| in hundred and one other ways. All
these strains tend to wear, weaken
and injure the kidneys until they fall
behind in their work of fiItering the
poi:ons from the blood. Doan's Kidney
Pills cure sick kidneys, put new
strength in bad backs. Cairo people
prove it.

canoe of this action is apparent when
the nature of the Metropolitan Lies
insurance contract is understood. This
company is in no sense mutual, II
does not estimate" or guess at what
it will be able to pay an insured per
son when his policy natures, but
agrees to pay a definite specified sun
in return for definite, specified prem
ium paid by the insured according tC
contract. In other words, it sells In
surance at what the protection is
worth--not as an inves tment nor as
speculation. Upon this basis the cost
TO the person insured is Of course de
termined by past experience. and as
the factor of competition prevents
the exaction OF too high a rate, the
premiums must always he as low as
afe :ni.tratiou of the business
will permit
It may be assumed. then. that &
policy holder in the Metropolitan Life
has bought a definite amount Of in
surance at the lowest market rate,
has agreed to pay for it in definite
sums at definite intervals. and has no
more expectation of extra benefits
than he would have in buying fire in
suranCe or house on similar terms.
II happens, however that this policy
holder is associated with a company
tIat. by sldllful management, has hao
growth and prosperity.
and as the actual cost of individual in
surance decrease. With each years
increase In volume of business. there
has arisen a profit which the company
gives back to the source whence il
no obligation to do 50,
implied or EXPIRE ed, exists in its con.
tracts. II has thus distributed ap
ten millions OF dollars
within the past few years. and IL Is a
significant indication of the company's
