Many Montgomery people take
their lives in their hands by neg
lecting the kidneys when they
know these organs need help.
Sick kidneys are responsible for
vast amount of suffering and ill
health, but there is no need to
suffer or to remain in danger when
all diseases and aches and paines
due to weak kidneys can be quick
ly and permanently cured by
the use of Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here is a Montgomery citizens
recommendation:
g. M. Maupin, formerly living
in the eastern part of Montgomery
City, Mo-, says; 81 have never
had anything to surpass Doan's
Kidney Pills for my back and
kidneys. I had much pain in the
back and top Of my head when
suffered with lame back and my
kidneys were out of order. l was
compelled to get up Ave or six
times during the night on account
of the too frequent action of the
kidney secretions and often they
were accompanied with pain.
There was weary and fatigued
feeling hanging over me the whole
time. I had taken several medi-
cines which gave me some relief
but failed to permanently relieve
me. was advised to try Doan's
Kidney Pills and I got them at
Crump and Kidwelps drug store.
They greatly helped me. l can
sleep all night now and my head
aches have gone and there is no
lameness remaining in my back.
My kidneys are In good condition.

WASHINGTON LETTER
MATTERS OF GENERAL INTER-
EST FROM THE CAPITOL

AT the Cabinet meeting this
week the financial situation natu-
rally occupied much of the time of
the President and his Secretaries.
1t was the first session since the
Presidents return from his south
ern trip, that Secretary Cortelyou
has been able to attend and of
course his colleagues were eager
to hear what he had to say about
conditions in the business and A.
nancial world. With characterize
tic brevity the Secretary reported
that the informa alton he was re-
ceiving was most reassuring and
justified the belief that there was
an improvement all along the line.

The President was overrun with
people from Oklahoma the early
part of this week, presenting
friends, who wanted Federal Offices
In the new State or advocating
claims of others, and upon Secre-
tary Garfield's young and able
shoulders President Roosevelt has
placed the greater part of the
responsibility of selecting the
Federal officials to be appointed
in the State of Oklahoma. The
Secretary is, consequently, Civ
Ing the greater part of his time to
that duty. The reason for the
Presidents course is found in the
fact that, as Secretary of the H.
terror, Mr.. Garfield has had charge
OF affairs in Oklahoma and Indian
Territory and will continue to adj
minister the affairs Of the Indians
even after the Territories become
q State. There are two United
States judges, two marshals and
swo district attorn eys to be named.
