FULL CABINET OUT.
President Asked Them Not to Recon-
mend Increase in Salaries

Washington, Nov. 17.-Every member
of the cabinet was present at today's
meeting. After the meeting it became
known that the cabinet had been asked
by the president to make no recon-
mendations in their annual estimates
to be submitted to congress for the in
crease of salaries in their respective
department. This will apply to gov
eminent employees throughout the
country as we'll as at Washington.
The suggestion was made to the cabi-
net some time before the election but
it was explained at the White House,
has no connection with the attack
made in the Democratic platform on
the increase of expenditures of the fed
eraf government.
The request that no increases in sal
aries be made does not apply to cases
of automatic promotion of employees
from one grade to another.

Doan's Kidney Pills have given
strong, sound backs to thousands.
This remedy cures backache and urin-
airy troubles by removing the cause,
by curing the kidneys.
Seventy-five years ago Doans Kid
ne Pills were curing kidney troubles
in a settlement of Quaker farmers.
Now the remedy is used in all the
civilized world. It is praised abroad
in many tongues. 1t is recommended
at home by people you know.
TOPEKA TESTIMONY.
Mrs. Addie S. Newberry, of 1905
Kansas ave-, Topeka, Kans., says: Il
am perfectly willing to confirm the
statement I gave in favor of Doan's
Kidney Pills several years ago. In
1899, had terrible pains in my back
and was bothered by the frequent ac-
ton of the kidney secretions. Despite
the fact that 1 used remedy after
remedy, I was unable to obtain relief
and was at loss to know what to
do. 1 finally learned about Doan's
Kidney Pills and began taking them.
Not only did they strengthen my kid
neys, thus relieving me of the back
ache and difficulty with the kidney
secretions, but they improved my
health generally. 1 have had slight
touches of backache since but moth
ing compared to what I suffered be-
fore using Doan's Kidney Pills.

the fruit has been ccred previously.
To four quarts of pulp use one quart

ground cloves and cinnamon; a quarter
teaspoonful of cloves and three tea
