Kidney Diseases Cause Half

Asone weak link weakens a
chain, so weak kidneys weaken
the whole body and hasten the
dnal breaking down.
Overwork, strains, colds and
other causes injure the kidneys
and when their activity is les
sened the whole body suffers
from.the excess uric poison cir
culated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor
and urinary ills come, and
there is an ever-increasing
tendency towards diabetes and
fatal Bright's disease. There
is no real help for the sufferer
except kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act
directly on the kidneys and
cure every kidney i'll. Missouri
Valley cures are the proof.

Masonic Temple, living in the
west part Of town, says: 81

Of the time, despite the fact

for a box. / never before used
a medicine which brought such
genuine relief. They regu-
lated the action of my kidneys
and when they were brought to
a normal condition, the pain in
my back stopped. Mrs. Bald

Pills, and from the results re-

Presidential politics wa played at q
dizzy pace throughout tie session OF
the Republican National Committee
which closed its meeting here .yester-
day afternoon. The decision Of bhe
committee TO hold the convention in
Chicago rather tnan in Kansas City
is widely regarded as a distinct anti
Taft victory with important anti-A6gn5n-
istration bearings. and as having q
bcarinz OF no small moment on The
Fresid initial campaign.
Chicago won by a coalescence Of The
friends Of the various Presidential
candidates other than the Secretary OF
War. Last night about the Hobbies OF
the hotels the anti-Taft forces were in
a gleeful mood. They declared the
selection OF Chicago was first blood

that two detachrnents of 100 men each
viii be camped in the district near the
combination mill. and one company will
be stationed IN town.
Today c. II. McKinnon. president OF
the Miners Union, said.
This strike was called because of
the refusal Of the operators to guaraa-
tee the scrip they were paying the
men, The operators. In effect. told us
the men could take scrlp or leave. An
we wanted was guarantee from them
to back up the scrip"
The heartiness with which the troops
were received today and the state Of
peace that has reigned UP to late tonight
exploded the predictions OF the last
week that the arrival of the soldiers
would be followed by an outbreak.
An armed guard OF citizens was sta
TONED in town and along the water
mains and light lines for several miles
beyond the city limits. The strikers
are willing to wait for Developments.
