WHEN YOUR BACK ACHES

At the first sign of backache or urinary disorders, give the kidneys quick help, not with plasters. lini- ments, nor any other outside appli- cations, but with special kidney medicine.
 The simplest and most effective remedy for sick kidneys is Doan's Kidney Pills. If there is weakness, congestion, inflammation or soreness, Doan's Kidney Pills quickly relieve it. They gently stimulate. tone and strengthen sick kidneys. drive away backache, rheumatic pain and dizzf- ness, clear up and regulate the urine. and restore a perfect Altering of the blood. Best of all, this relief Is per- manent.
 WATERBURY PROOF
 W. L. Hoyt. 27 Ridgewood street. Waterbury, Conn.,, says: My kid- neys long showed signs of being dis ordered and about five years ago the trouble became worse. One day when lifting, I was seized with a crick across my back and fell to the floor. After that I was subject to attacks of backache and was unable to find relief until procured Doan's Kidney Pills at H. w. Lakes drug store. Three or four boxes cured me and I cannot speak too highly of them."

CURE SICK HEADACHE.

The real object of the birds in drill ing the holes is uncertain. one tele- phone man said that the humming of the wires was mistaken by the birds for insects eXcavating beneath the surface of the wood and that they drilled the poles in quest of these inn aginary insects. It is very probable, however, that the holes are eXcavated for an entirely different purpose. The woodpecker is a provident bird. At the proper season it stores up a supply of acorns and other. foods for future con- sumption. In the summer these holes are aften found stored with acOrns.
 Many methods for preventing this damage have been suggested. but prob ably the most successful is preserva- tiOn creosote. A line of creosoted poles, opposite the one near Covington, was examined, and not a single hole was found. When it is considered that creosote will not only prevent the damage caused by the woodpecker, but also protect the pole indefinitely against both insects and decay, it's great value as a preservative is ap- parent.
 The forest service has spent consid- erable time in developing a cheap yet efficient method for the treatment of telephone and telegraph poles. The results of the work are embodied in several forest service circulars, copies of which may be obtained without cost from the forester, Washington, D. c.

 One of the Western Union officials, who has recently returned from an in spection through the west, reported having seen twenty-five telephone poles with two or three hundred holes drilled clear through them. Some of the holes were three or four inches in diameter.
 An officer of the Illinois Central railroad counted the white cedar tele- phone poles along the right -of-way near CovingtOn, Tennessee, which\ had been affected by wOodpeckers, and found that out of 26S poles, 11O or Al per cent, had been bored
 In some cases destruction of the pole takes only a few months and the weakened condition makes it danger ous for lineman to climb the stick.
