Montgomery Proof

B. Bazzell, Furniture Salesman. liv- ing at 100 May St.. Montgomery. Ala. says: My wife who had suffered from kidney diseases and other complica- tions for a long while, was greatly relieved by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. She is now enjoying unusually good health and we both attribute it to the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. Be- fore she commenced using them shs was sick all the time, had backache and was generally run down, nervous. tired and worn out. The different remedies she tried did not help her much If any. and as I said before, it was not until she used Doan's Kidney Pills that she began to feel better. She took only two boxes but they conn pletely cured her. I have not heard her complain of being i'll in long time and her condition has certainly improved greatly since she used Doan's Kidney Pills"

STEEL PAVEMENT IN PARIS.
It Is Expected to Give a Good Surface
 Tor Horses and to be Very Durable.


 for Horses and to be Very Durable.
 Paris Is experimenting with the lat est thing in pavement. They call 1t steel pavement, but it is really con crete pavement re-enforced with a steel framework The trial section of 1t has been laid on the Rue Saint Martin on front of the Conservatoire of Arts and Industries.
 The metal part of the pavement is plate of perforated steel, with strong bolts of steel running through 1t between the perforations. Each sec tion has some resemblance to Steel harrow, only the prongs project equally on each side and they are square and blunt.
 The plates are arranged close to gether on bed of rough concrete such as is used for wood block pave ment- Then a specially prepared ce- ment is shovelled upon them. in a soft condition and rammed down until II makes a solid mass, with the steel frame just levelled off evenly with the upper tips of the prongs.
 The steel prongs are so close to- gether that the shoe of every horse and every wheel of any width must rest on part on the cement. It is expected in Nthis way to secure a highly durable but distinctly uneven surface, one on which horses will have sure footing in all weathers and in which they can secure the necessary purchase to pull heavy loads.
 It will be superior to asphalt in ultimate economy and to wood, both in the better footing that it affords to horses and in the fact that it will not admit of dangerous ruts developing The sample laid cost S540 a square metre, little more than a square yard, but when the work is done on a large scale 1t Is believed the price can be cut to about $450. The life of such q pavement without serious repairs is estimated at ten years as a minimum.

him on his little cot ''rell me abou the robin" he murmured, dreamily and went to sleep, holding tight t Nurse Isabelle's finger.
 The doctor, warm and rumpled looked at the two.
 You haven't any business nursing, he said to Isabelle.
 Her startled eyes met his. T wal afraid you would say that" sh' auavered, T was such a-fool"
 You are not fool" the docto blazed, but some women aren't an! more fitted to be nurses than l am t be the Angel Gabriel"
 Nurse Isabelle was not so sure of his unfitness for the sacred office. a. he stood there in his strength an' dignity, with his halo of fair hair.
 If I had anything to offer you. he remarked abruptly, "I'd marry you.
 "Oh! Nurse Isabelle tried to rise but Jimmie's thin fingers held her Please don't" he begged.
 Don't disturb my patient" was thu doctors peremptory command. He ran his fingers through his hair. T I wasn't so dead poor" he ruminated
 "A woman who breaks down a such an important moment isn't fit t be in a hospital" he continued. "Sh' ought to be in home where the ten derness would not be wasted"
 He came around to Nurse Isabellei side. It was very still in the bit room The screen around Jimmie bed hid them from such wakefu patients as might be in Ward Seven.
 'Tn my home it would not p' wasted" he said, softly
 Jimmie stirred slightly. Nurs' Isabelle rose and bent over him. Whel she strengthened up. she was withil the circle of the doctors arm.
 oh" she gasped, all pink and whit and beautiful.
 you're such a little thing to talk care of yourself" the doctor whis pered. And I'll make ends meet"
 AS she raised a radiant face, Jimmi opened his eyes and took fin the sat isfying situation.
 T told you he was dead stuck ol you" he chuckled weakly.

Preparing for Trouble in Cuba.

NeW I OFK EVtHIIIB fUsI.
 It is not generally known, perhaps, that the United States army is just completing a map of every inch of the Island of Cuba for use in case it ever becomes necessary for the American Government to occupy the country by force. The engineer corps of the army has been devoting most of its atten- tion to the undertaking since last fall, two of the three battalions having been at work on the island in the last half of that period. Not nook or corner. not a travelled road or an obscure trail has escaped the mapmakers. The strange part of 1t is that the Cuban Government has aided the work Tn every way it could, giving orders to the rural guards and local officers in far-away towns to facilitate the en- gineers' operations whenever possible.

A TEST CASE.
of Exchanging Transportation io
 New.psper Space is Probable.

Newspaper Space is Probable. Mobile Register.
 Railroads and newspapers throuen- out the country are interested in the test case that the Interstate Commerce Commission is preparing to bring to determine If it is legal for railroad to give transportation in return TOT advertising. under the ruling Of the commission that transportation must he maid in money. G. W. Kretzinger' attorney for the Monon. has forced the issue by advising his company ana others to ignore the commissions rui- ing and enter into the regular adver- tising contracts with newspapers ana periodicals, paying for space In trans nortation. It Is understood that sev- eraI of the roads in the South are preparing to follow the Monon exam ple. in the belief that the commission has no legal right to interfere In a business arrangeemnt between rail road company and a newspaper. when such arrangement has absolutely no influence on any other provision of the act regulating railroads. One of the local companies which withdrew all masses outside it's own employees, has given an order to a printer for suf- ficient number of certificates to meet the mutual business arrangement of ex- changing advertising space for trans portation.

Smoothing the Workers Way.

The up- -to-date employer has come to realize that it is quite as important from a business point of view to have d well-preserVed workman as we'll oiled machine, and he carries an insur- ance fund for his people just he maintains a fund for breakage and re- pairs on his engines. This insurance fund for the bodies and minds of em- ployes Is now officially known as well fare work. It means. first and fore most, a provision for the physical com fort of the man and woman who work in the shop. and this means plenty of light and air. good drainage and a pure water supply. It means. further, elevators and seats for women work CTS. baths for the dirty and lunches for the hungry It may mean. later. picnics and balls, public lectures. club houses and cooking schools, but for the present the demands of the body are paramount.
