A GOOD REASON.
Canon City People Can Tell You Why
1t Is So.

Canon City People Can Tell You Why
1t Is So.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure the cause
of disease, and that Is why the cures
are always lasting. This remedy
strengthens and tones up the kidneys,
helping them to drive out of the body
the liquid poisons that cause back
ache, headache and distressing kidney
and urinary complaints. Canon City
people testify to permanent cures.
Mrs. C. P. Spencer, formerly living
at 42O Pike avenue, Canon City, Colo.
says: II still retain the same appre-
citation Of Doan's Kidney Pills 1 had
when l publicly recommended them
three years ago. In 1909 my husband
procured his first supply of Doan's
Kidney Pills at Hunter PaImer's drug
store and after taking them for a
short time was cured OF pains across
his loins, trouble which had caused
him considerable suffering, especially
when he brought any strain on the
muscles OF the back. That he derived
lasting benefits is evidenced by the
fact that he has never been bothered
seriously since. When there has been
the least indication Of backache or
weakness across the l0ins, ~ appeal
to Dosn's Kidney Pills has never fail
ed to promptly and absolutely remove
the trouble. My own experience with
them was also a very satisfactory
one. Our son recently showed symp-
toms Of weak kidneys but AFTER he
took Doan's Kidney Pills his condi-
ton was greatly improved"

A WESTERN VIEW OF
SECRETARY OF WAR TAFT

-Four years ago the powers that be
that Roosevelt should not be given
the nominatiou for president. The
decree could not be carried out. The
people had made up their minds and
communicated their conviction to tho
leaders OF the party. After the nom
nation the same infuences undertook
to defeat him at the polls. They had
been able to dictate to ths Democratic
party a candidate suitable to them.
But before the campaign had gone n
month confidential reports from all
over the nation convinced the most
prejuhieed oponents of Roosevelt
that the latter was as good ~ elected.
Then efforts were made to compro-
mise; the national campaign treasury
was overstocked by the people who
had determined to wage warfare
against the candidate. Some Of the
correspondence and q part Of the d.
plomatic moves then made were given
to the public in an endeavor to dis
credit. the president at . critical hour.
1t has dawned upon the east that
William Howard Taft has been as
good rs nominated to the Office held
by Roosevelt. The west knew this
quite Il while ago.
The question will be with the coterie
OF high fnanciers" what action to
take as between Taft aud Bryan. II
