without precedent. Even naked saw.
ages have uniformly been too wise
for that. and the only nation that has

From a thousand illustrations of the

There is no way Of communicating

that stage may be without the pa.

advance beyond that stage cannot
even be checked. It slays its victims
with the most h0rrtble torture.
In this country the recent increase
Of this most terrible Of human af.

us all. It was once rare; II now
threatens to become common. In the

All Churches in Birsningham VIII Hold
 Special Services.
 Birmingham, Aug s1-lSpecial. )-Ev- cry Protestant church in Birmingham will have Prohibition" as the watch word for the services Sunday morning. afternoon and evening.
 It is agreed among those who are fighting for prohibition in Jefferson County, the largest county in the State, to have a sermon preached in all the churches tomorrow
 Sunday afternoon a mass meeting will be held at the First Methodist Church by the Baptist Young Peoples Union, the Epworth League and the Christian Endeavor Societies of this county. This meeting will devise ways and means for the young people to par ttcipate in the campaign for prohibi- ton. The Woman's Christian Temper a Union will also take part in the campaign for prohibition.
 During the coming week the petitions will be presented to the Judge of Pro- bate asking that an election be ordered to decide on prohibition. It has been decided by the prohibitionists that all favortng their side shall wear little white bow.
 The opponents to prohibition have not yet taken up their fight. It Is under stood that something like fifty thousand dollars will be sent Into the State by the whiskey and beer manufacturers of the North and West. This will be aug mented by a like sum by others opposed to prohibition.

Work has been mans lot since the creation. but a day of toll should not have It's penalty of pain. Why is it, then, you ask, that backache so often follows? It is because the modern tendency is to overwork, to tear down faster than nature can rebuild. An un- natural strain Is thrown upon the vital organs, and more especially upon the kidneys, which have the work of filter ing the blood free of waste and poison.
 The heavy tax of overwork-the strain upon the back that is so com mon to many trades and occupations, Is too great The kidneys begin to fall in their work, and there Is a double dangsr-to health. The poisonous mat teq~ collects in the system, and the kid meea themselves begin to break down.
 Pain in the back is only warning of 4ro.ihie in the kidneys. An intiamma- lion has set in, and disordered condl- 9fon of the urine soon becomes appar- ent
 Too much or too little urine with constant desire to void the secretionsi any noticeable deviation from the nor mai color; the appearance of sandy aedtment proves a disordered condition Of the kidneys, that needs quick atten- tion.
 If your work seems hard for you, if -ou have a lame, weak or aching back, ff you seem tired and listless. and seem "a be running down without apparent cause, begin at once with Doan's Kid
