TIME TO ACT.
Don't Wait for the Fatal Stages OF
Kidney Illness. Profit by
Brownsville Peoples Expe-
rience.

Occasional attacks of backache, ir-
regular urination, headaches and dir
zy spells are common early symp-
toms of kidney disorders. It's an
error to neglect these ills. The at
lacks may pass off for a time but
return with greater intensity. If
there are symptoms of dropsy-puf-
fly swellings below the eyes, bloating
of limbs and ankles, or any part of
the body. Don't delay a minute. Be
gin taking Doan's Kidney Pills, and
keep up the treatment until the kid
neys are well, when your old time
health and vigor will return. Cures
in Brownsville prove the effective
ness of this great kidney remedy.
w. A. Rutledge, the Elizabeth ST.,
ieweler living on Levee ST., Browns
vile, Texas, says: ''My wife thinks
and speaks very well of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, the only remedy that ever
helped her during two years of suf
fering from bad back. The pain
in her back in the region of the kid
neys was very severe at times and
the least cold or excitement seemed
to make it worse. When l heard of
Doan's Kidney Pills at J. L. Pute-
gnat G Bros. drug store, I imme
diately got box. That one box was
all that was necessary to remove the
trouble and since then we have al
ways kept the remedy in the house"

Observation-Disclosures

The democratic ticket is entirely of
a Western complexion, which may or
may not be notice to the East that
the party does not count upon that
section to carry the election. New
YOrkdictated the last democratic tick
ct and platform, and assisted very
materially in retiring both to condi-
ton of "innocuous desuetude," hence
the party this year very naturally
was not inclined to let that state die
tate in either instance. With the
Solid South to count upon, in any
event, the personnel of the ticket
should be able to swing the Middle
West and the Rocky Mountain and
Pacific coast regions, and so carry
the country. Who knows but what
the Nebraskan may have a surprise
up his sleeve for the East this time?

PLAN LEFT TO COUNCIL
City Will Have to Determine Whether
Or Not Meters Shall Be
Installed.

Hon. H. V. Gates held conference
Tuesday afternoon with Councilmen
Cosper, Ellis and Coad and City
Engineer Morrison, who had been
appointed on a special committee to
discuss with him the advisability Of
putting meters on all irrigation
hydrants in the city during the sum-
mer season, for the purpose of pre-
venting wasteful use of the water and
assuring adequate fire protection.
While no definite conclusion was
arrived at, Mr. Gates reiterated the
statements made before the Council at
it's regular meeting Monday night
He outlined what he purposed and
was willing to do if the city decided to
adopt his plan, and placed the decision
Of the matter entirely in the hands Of
the council.
He maintained that the matter Of
fire protection, which was one relating
TO the general welfare, was paramount
to the individual interest of those
using irrigation and that If no other
measures could be adopted to assure
proper protection against danger OF
fire, he would feel justified in cutting
off all irrigation during the season OF
low water supply, if the situation
demanded such action.
This however he believes to be un-
necessary, if the users of water can be
prevailed upon to avoid wastefulness,
hence his proposition to install meters.
He agreed to the committee to grant a
10 cent meter rate, which, if the irriga-
tor uses care, will actually make it
possible to save money in the irriga-
ton of his lawn or garden without
allowing them to suffer in the least
from want of water during the dry
months.
A meter will be sent up to Dallas
and given test on a lawn sprinkler,
so that those who are curious on the
subject may gain some ideas OF the
method of its working and the manner
of measuring the supply of water.
Mr.. Gates reason for introducing
the matter before the council at this
time was that the orders for meters
must be placed early in the year In
order to secure them in time for use
next summer, in case the city deter
mines to adopt the new system.
An interesting fact and one hereto
fore not generally known, was brought
to light in Tuesdays meeting. The
water company, according to Mr..
Gates statement, is not charging, and
never has charged, since the system
was installed, the full rent for irriga-
ton which the contract authorizes il
to charge.
The contract rate for irrigation,
similar to the Portland rate, allows q
charge Of 81 so a month for every lot
or fraction of a lot so by 100 feet
regardless Of the amount OF ground
space that may be occupied by build
ings and consequently out of irri
cation. Had the company followed
out the letter Of the contract in fixing
its irrigation rates, nearly every
property holder in Dallas using watel
for irrigation, would now be paying
from two to three times as much al
has been regularly charged ever sine
the plant was installed.

Good Roads Meetings.

Judge John H. Scott, president of

Owing to the fact December 8, the only

Court week, and no hall can be secured

George Duren, laborer in one Of
lumber camps near Falls City, was
struck In the right eye Wednesday by
a fragment from a steel wedge, very
delicate operation being required to
remove the silver of steel. 1t had
pierced the ball of the eye so that it
became necessary for the physician
to cut clear through the outer coatings
into the anterior chamber in order to
extract It. 1t is thought that Mr..
Duren will recover his sight in that
eye, in spite Of the seriousness Of the
injury.
The church social which was to have
been given by the Epworth League at
the Methodist Church tonight has
been postponed indefinitely on account
OF the funeral services over the re-
mains Of the late Henry Howe, which
are to be held at the chuIch this after
