ITS YOUR KIDNEYS

Does your back ache? Do you get up
lame in the morning? Do you feel dull
and tired? Does it hurt you to bend
over, to lift anything, TO get up from
chair? Do you have sudden catches"
or stitches of pain in the back? Does a
dull, throbbing ache settle In the small
of your back and bother you day and
night? Do you sometimes feel that you
simply cannot straighten up?
If you do have backhache, be careful
not to make the very common mistake
of treating II as a muscular trouble.
Do not rub the sore place with lini-
ment nor put on plasters, for the seat
of the trouble is inside-in the kid
neys, which lie just beneath the small
of the back, on either side of the spine.
A cold, a chill, a fever, Overwork,
overeating or overdrinking may start a
slight congestion or Inflammation in
the kidneys that will at once interrupt
the kidneys work of altering the
blood. II is this condition that sets up
the aching, and makes your back SO
bad.
You cannot make any mistake by
treating the kidneys at once, for IT is
these small troubles that lead to
dropsy, diabetes and Bright's disease.
II there is any doubt in your mind that
the kidneys are affected, notice the

irregular, painful, or too scanty, dis
colored, or full of sediment, the kid
neys need help right away. and there
is no other medicine more helpful than
Doan's Kidney Pills, a simple remedy
for the kidneys, yet so powerful that
it quickly cures the cause and so ends
all the painful and annoying symp-
toms. Home testimony proves the I'M
failing merit of Doan's Kidney Pills.
OMAHA TESTIMONY

severely from backache that at times

lions of most annoying and disturb
ing nature existed. My husband pro-
cured Doan's Kidney Pills for me, This
grand remedy not only proved effective
from the very start, but In a very short
time removed the cause of the trouble,

cure and / want the people of Omaha
to know that that cure has been per-
manent. Doan's Kidney Pills are as
good as gold. AS a kidney medicine

A MODEL STREET RAILWAY
Franchised Corporation in Ohio Cap
itaI Manifests Enlargement
of the Heart.

The people OF Columbus. o., don't care a
fig about municipal ownership. They know
when they are we'll of. They boast that
they have the best street railway system
Judged by it's methods and by the service
it gives them) in the country.
The rate of fare (of which the patrons of
the road almost universally avail them
selves) Is seven tickets for rs cents. or three
and fifty-seven one-hundredths cents fare.
This rate, like all the other provisions
under which the company now operates,
was established by the blanket franchise
granted for a period of twenty-five years
by the city council in 1901.
At the time this franchise was granted
the company, in the preliminary discus
sion. conceded six tickets for a quarter.
Some radicals demanded eight. The COM
promise of seven tickets for a quarter
was subsequently effected.
The franchise as finally granted, however,
contained the further provision that when
ever the gross annual receipts OF the COM
pany should reach the sum OF H.7500O0,
tickets must be sold at the rate of eight
for a quarter-practically a fiat Scent fare,
and so well has the policy of the company

to be entitled to a dividend employees
must have worked six months continuously
prior to dividend paying day.
The company also furnishes to conduc-
tors and motormen having been in the en-
ploy of the company for five years ono
uniform suit each year. and to those hav-
ing been in the employ ten years two uni
form suits each year. At Christmas time
this company has for the last several years
distributed to their married employees a
turkey and to the single ones a silver doll
lar.
Another feature OF tho company's gratui-
ties is the employees annual picnic at
which time free transportation over the
lines of the company and an outing for em-
ployes and their families are given.
The Columbus company paves cleans and
sprinxles the streets traversed by its lines
between the tracks and for considerable
distance on each side. It Is well known in
the city that the street repair work Of the
company is the chief factor in maintaining
these thoroughfares.-Ohio Magazine.

Original Food of Mnn.

Comparing the human body and the
steam engine in a lecture at the Working
mems college, Prof. Osler said one differ
entiating feature was that while the engine
had only one furnace, and large one. the
human body consisted OF myriads OF little
furnaces-that is, cells. MIX was the
original food of man. 1t contained the
four things that were necessary as food
fat, curd sugar and salt-all dissolved in
water. DIR. Weir Mitchell once showed him
a robust looking patient and he remarkedi
He looks as II he had been living on the

had a five years milk diet-except on Sun
days. when his wife insisted on rice pud-
ding.

salt in the stone is prominent, but when the
air is filled with moisture the salt absorbs
the moisture and turns black thus for1nins

succeeded that Il is now estimated hardly
more than two years will elapse before the
system of eight tickets for the same price
will go into effect.
The franchise also provides for practically
universal transfers, and will continue to
do SO when the fare is eight tickets for a
quarter. In Columbus today, for a fare
of 1857 cents, a passenger may not transfer
back to the line on which he originally
purchased his ticket, but all other lines
are open to him.
This makes a fare for the distance that
may be Travelled believed to be the lowest
in the world. 1t is unquestionably the
lowest in America and on the average is
lower than the Scent fare charged on
European roads operated under municipal
ownership, because in the case of the latter
second fare is collected where the pas
senger travels a prescribed distance.
Under the same franchise the company
receives 5 cents for single cash fares. but
these are paid mostly by nonresidents,
the townspeople using the tickets.
The companys relations with its en-
ployes seem to furnish an object lesson in
the fabrication of corporate machinery.
Many of the motormen and conductors have
been with the company from ten to fifteen
years. A few have served continuously for
thirty years.
There is an established working day OF
nine hours and voluntary service of more
than nine hours is paid extra. The COM
pany some years ago inaugurated system
of profit sharing with its employees and
the result has been not only TO emphasize
the good will prevailing toward the corpor-
alton among the men but it has also tended
to increase the efficiency of the service.
The profit sharing dividend is paid on
total amounts Of wages earned at the same
ratio per cent. as is paid to stockholders
on the stock. and the system extends to
employes in all departments. In order
