The headaches and dizzy feelings that trouble so many persons, are often put symptoms of kidney complaint.
 Kidney diseases are very treacherous. They come on silently. gain ground rapid ly. and cause thousands of deaths that could have been prevented by treatment in the beginning
 Nature gives early warming of every disease. if you would but note and heed them Backache, twinges of pain when stooping or lifting. headaches, faint speiis and urinary disorders are among the hrst warnings of kidney trouble.
 If these signals are unheeded, there comes a steady. dull. heavy achmg m the back and loins. noticeable weak ness and loss of flesh. rheumatic attacks. weakening of the sight, irregular heart action. languor, attacks of gravel. irresu- lar passages of the kidney secretions, se- diment. painful. scalding sensation orop- sical bloating, etc.
 Rut there is no need to suffer long Doan,s Kidney Pills cure all kidney trou- hles This remedy has made a reputation far ouiclx relief and lasting cures. It is a simple compound of pure roots ana harbs that have direct action on the lsidnevs. It was the secret 76 years ago of an old Quaker lady. It was given to inc public by James Doan. druggist, and is now known and recommended the whole world over.

These gentlemen occupy their high posi- ton for life. The whole question of their partiality, as we'll as of their legal abil- ity, was passed upon before they were appointed-for their appointments were ir- revocable. Yet they, and most of the federal judges appointed since the emer- gency of the railways into power. were railway enxironed'' men. The federal bench is recruited in large measure from the offices of counsel for the great corr porations This is not as it should be.

 had met Jones before. In fact, meet ing him had become sort of habit. The first time I saw him he was hanging by his feet. Gn apoplectic squirming mass, on the facade of Blarney Castle, kissing the stone of eloauence. My camera caught him in the act. ''Gad!" he sputtered, wheh told him that his feat was inn mortalized. "Is my face in it? Send me enc. will you2 That'l prove to the folks back in Evansville that l did it."
 I had run across him again in Lon- don, where all ways meet. I was saun- tering around the Whitechapel ghetto. and through the window of an alley tavern I noticed two men drinking stout. One was a "bobby'' in uniform. His eyes were bleared, and hi- face purple. The profile of the other looked familiar. I walked in, and behld-Jones. The pos lceman, startled by my intrusion, brought himself together and wabbled out. Jones turned to me with look of vast re- proach.
 "Glad to see you again, old man, but wl.y in the devil couldn't you Ftay away a little longer? I'd have had 1t In half an hour more"
 Had what?"
 "Why, his club. Lord what a souveir that would have made."
 Our ways parted again for a while was riding wheel over the crest of the Black Forest, near Titsee, pumping slow ly to the top of the long, white road. A ; pine cone struck my handlebar. Another knocked my hat off, and I looked up. An aerial voice emitted Tyrolean halloo with much unction, and saw swaylng s1eck silhouetted against a cloud. My instinct told me it was Jones.
 ..Hey, old man" he yelled, trumpet ing through his hand, take my picture uuick-you're just in time-can't hold on rouch lonper-cameras at foot of the tree-lost it half way up!'

sufficiently to make him or her quit the business Every house in the red-light district is said to be blind tiger, and there does not seem to be any way to break them up. Hundreds of young men are ruined in those places--beys who could not buy drop of liquor in a licensed saloon to save their lives, and yet they get all the beer they want in these resorts at $1 per bottle. 1t cannot be denied that Jackson has flourished under prohibition. It may be that she would have done the same, perhaps better, under a saloon sys- tenn, but that must be guessed at. This prosperity is at the expense of the youth of the town in two ways-they are denied the use of the revenues that would accrue from the licensing of sa- looms, and they are debauched by the blind tigers.
 The population and wealth of Jack son has increased by leaps and bounds, and it is possible that prohibition laws had something to do with it, but 1t is mighty hard to convince those who know the cts to attribute prosperity to that cause.
 During the past three or four months thousands of dollars worth of whisky and beer has been confiscated by the police. On one raid it took three wagons to haul the stuff from single eStaDl1Sn1ment. mat was u ltW WtehS ago. This liquor Is held twenty days and then emptied in the gutters, scores of old whisky bloats standing as in terested but sorrowful spectators of the operation
 The police court records tell the story of hundreds of arrests for drunenness, and if fictitious names could be located, it would be seen that they were given in by the sons of some of the best citi- zens of the community. and who have been lured to ruin in these dens of in iquity.
 Jackson has demonstrated that pro hibtion not only does not prohibit but that it debauches and makes artistic liars of scores of men and boys at every session of the grand jury,sfor it has become notorious that not one of ten will tell the truth about his pur- chases of whisky from blind tigers.

DR. STEELE PRODUCES LAW.
Cites Proof of His Statements Regard
 ing Tennessee Law.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 My friend, Casper B. Kuhn, in your issue of October 24 comes back at me and corrects me again, claiming am still in error in claiming that Tennessee has or had a law to keep saloons four miles from furnaces and iron works. He says: T am equally positive that no law of that kind is now, or ever has been on the statutes" I thank him for his efforts after truth, and his earnestness to see that I do not mslead the public. want to be corrected at all times when l am in error. Mir. Kuhn, like all frienos of the saloon, fails to see the truth. Now, I give the law in the case. Hero 1t is: Tt shall not be lawful for any per son, or persons nor for any corporation to distill, have, make, sell, barter, or give away, spirituous or intoxicating drinks of any kind, by whatever name or disguised name, upon any lands, nor within five miles from any mine, or quarry, or of any furnace or rolling mil, foundry or factory of any kind, pur- chased by any such corporation, whether worked or held to be worked" See shan non's code of Tennessee, sections 2557, 255s, 1871. 1877. For the violation of this law the penalty is not less than $lOV and go to iail as long as the court desires. This not only shows that l was correct, bus it is worse on the saloons than l first stated. My friend Kuhn made blunder in his contention in saying; 'The Uni yersity of Tennessee situated near Se- vance," when really the University of Tennesse is 200 miles from Sewanee, at Knoxville. l was in error in stating the fo,,r-mile part of the law. it should have heen five miles, as the saloons were too bad to get as near as Tour miles or furnaces, outside, of course of eorpor- ated towns. If this is not enough l Will give more. l. D. Si Dr.l-S'

mill town" now makes and ships an nually 5000 tons of blows. This is but one item in long list of things manu- factured in wholesale quantities in this, a typical southern industrial cen ter, and plow-making is simply one of the departments in one of the several large iron-working establishments in this city.
 The annual output of the blow de- partment of the Columbus Ironworks company has increased until now over 5000 tons of steel and cast blows are made there annually. These blows are not only sold throughout the south, but are popular among the planters across the Rio Grande, so that Georgia blows now tickle the soil of Old Mexico.
 It is an interesting fact that with the development of this branch of manufacture in Columbus a Georgia city has become the greatest ,plow manufacturing center south of Louis- vile, Ky.
 Columbus is naturally proud of it's title, Lowell of the South,' due to the fact that there are some 15 or 20 cot ton mills here, but in recent years has

Mrs. H. A. Tucker Of 171s Allen street, Birmingham, Ala, says: "I suffered more than can possibly. express from severe kidney complaint. The disease had secured a firm hold on me before I real ized it as I first supposed my trouble to be only a passing indisposition, but the trouble grew steadily worse until II be- came alarmed. The occasional pain came to be a steady one, the kidney disturbance became more pronounced until at last it occasioned me great distress, especially at night l also had many other syrnp- toms of the disease, such as stiffness upon arising in the morning, frequent and an moving headaches arid dizzy spells. These troubles all combined to .Sen me down greatly in health and in a short time was but shadow of myself, had lost my appetite and much weight. The remedies I tried and the doctors I had attend me were practically of no benefit to me as l kept steadily getting worse. One day saw an account of Doap's Kidney Pills in the paper so bought box and began using them. I was helped from the first and inside of a week I was much in- proved. I kept on taking them until I had used six boxes, when I was cured and l have not had any trouble since"

State Laws and Federal Courts.

From The Reader for October.
 A great many people are disturbed by the suspension of state laws bN federal courts. It looks like real government by injunction when state officers are prohib- ited from arresting men who by state laws are criminals. Still, the thing may be correct. It is rather a pity that In the two instances in which this has re- gently been done the judges-Judge Pritchard and Judge McPherson-were recognized as having been lawyers with railway affiliations before their appoint ment to the federal bench. Both of them were what Governor Conner of Alabama would call railway environed' men. Judge McPherson has held up the Mis- souri statute, except for a brief trial ito

We were somewhat surprised a
short time ago to note, from re-
port of President Emerson, the
amount OF work that was accomplish
ed last year by the Atlantic Coast
Line, through its immigration de-
partment, in securing settlers along
its system, as we were under the
impression that this road. as a rule,
put forth very little effort along this
line. Quite to the contrary, how
ever, it is stated that last year this
company located SIS families along
the line of the road. The work is
very commendable indeed, and we
trust that this immediate section
may be benefited along with other
sections in the future by the Coast
Lines efforts to secure desirable i'm
migrants.-Mount Olive Tribune.
