MAY PROVE FATAL
When will Vermont People Learn
the Importance of it2

Backache Is only simple thing at
first
But when you know it's from the
kidneys;
That serious kindey troubles follow;
That diabetes, Brights disease may
be the fatal end,
You will gladly profit by the following
experience.
IT'S the statement of a Vermont citizen.
Silas B. Moon, of 994 Main ST., Benning-
ton, VT, says: For fifteen years l was
troubled by kidney complaint. My back
panied me severely at times and l had
such acute headache and spells of dizzi-
ness that would be unable to stand.
There was also something wrong with
my kindneys as the secretions were too
frequent in passage and continued
sediment. / at last went to drug store
and got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills.
They proved to be the best remedy had
ever used, not only relieving the pain in
my back but also regulating the action of
the kidney secretions. / am perhaps too
old to expect permanent cure, but am
glad to know of remedy that will bring
such beneficial results as does Doan's
Kidney Pills"

Great Britain's naval position, he
maintained was one of unassailable

MAY INDICT DIRECTORS
OF RlCKEY'S BANKS
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CARSON, New. March at is said
some sensational statements will result
tomorrow upon report of the grand
jury. 1t is common news that from the
indictment filed against President Rick
ey of the State bank, on the charge of
embezzlement, all the directors will be
indicted and will have to face trial
on the same lines. The grand jury is
basing its judgings particularly on the
evidence that at meeting held week
before the bank suspended Hickey was
ordered to go to California and raise
funds to keep the bank on it's feet
Hickey, it is stated, deposited $4,000 in
the bank at that time, but several of
the other directors began drawing out
their accounts. ,
S. w. Brougher, one of the directors,
had $4,000 on deposit. Before the bank
closed he had practically drawn out
every cent.
Peterson, another director drew all
but $500 of a $4,000 account.
Lee. another director left but $50 TO
his credit. 1t Is upon this evidence
that the indictments will be returned.
