WHEN THE KIDNEYS GIVE OUT

 Doan's Kidney Pills are for sicJ, kidneys in old or young. There is not particle of narcotic or poisonous drugs in this remedy. It is recom- mended publicly by thousands.
 Montgomery Proof,
 w. M. Hudson living at 1l2 Madi- son Street, Montgomery. Ala. says: About year ago I used Doan's Kid ney Pills with excellent results when attacked with backache and Kidney complaint. I had had some trouble with my kidneys for number of years. and although I used a number of rem edies I kept getting worse. I had pains In my back and could scarce get any rest at night on account of the too frequent action of the kidney secre- tions. Doans Kidney Pills were re- commended to me, I procured them at E. G. Fowler's drug store, and af- ter using them a short time, I was permanently relieved. 1 gave a testi- monial telling of the merits of this remedy at that time, and at present I am glad to confirm every word of my previous statement. I gladly recom- mend Doan's Kidney Pills because I know they bring permanent relief"

Do you ever feel that you simply can't go any further-that you must have rest for that lame and aching back-relief from that constant dread. tired feeling-freedom from those stab ping. darting pains?
 This is the condition that so often comes at middle age, bringing with 1t an extreme nervousness and irritabil- ity that makes others think you cranky" and hard to get along with"
 Likely your kidneys are worn and tired and need help. In any machine there is one part that works the hard est and gives out first. The kidneys work night and day removing from the blood the uric acid and other waste created by overuse of strength and energy. Naturally a life of unusual activity doubles the duties of the kid news and in time the strain tells.
 With healthy kidneys. one has good chance to live long. but weak kidneys afflict old age with great dis comforts The back becomes bent and lame, rheumatism Is chronic. eyesight fails, and too frequent or involuntary messages of the urine cause embarrass- ment by day and loss of sleep at night

Trust Company Section Of American
 Bankers Goes On Record.
 Denver, Colo, Sept 2s.-The trust company section of the American Bank CTS Association went on record this afternoon in opposition to the bank deposit guaranty proposition, making the third subsidiary section of the American Bankers Association to de- clare itself thus. A motion to vote on postal savings banks was defeated. All the speeches made were against the postal savings banks plan.
 The resolution against the guaran- tee of bank deposits was offered by F. H. Fries, of Winston-Salem, N. C. who acted for the legislative commit- tee. The introduction of the resolution precipitated a debate led by Breckin- ridge Jones of St. Louis, in tho neg ative. as to whether the section had q constitutional right to consider any proposition not of exclusive interest to trust companies. The resolution was carried, "A to 5.
 In the election of officers, A. A. Jackson. of Philadelphia, was chosen president. F. H. Fries was elected one of the new members of the execu- tive committee.
 Among a dozen called on for remarks was Clark Williams, of New York, for- merly president of the trust company section. He said that twenty per cent of the banking power of the United States was in New York and that 1t was unanimously against the guaran. tee of bank deposits.

Many Are Nicissitudes Across
 Capt. Baber's Maritime Course

Piercing and shrill, Bosun Smiths whistle snagged the atmosphere and the crew of the coast defense ram Po- lice Court got to quarters. Captain Baber strolied leisurely to the wheel, squinted at the pinnacle and ordered the ship cleared for action. Hardly had the order been given when the look -out sung out, "Sail-ho!"
 All eyes. and the captains binocu- lars turned to the point indicated and saw a low lying, black craft, three sheets in the wind and one mapping, staggering after an encounter with schooner on the mad waves of some distant bar.
 In response to a jingle in the engine room the steamer shot ahead, her nose dipping and iunging into the oily green rollers and lifting the solid green water and white spray high to be caught by the wind and driven aft in sheets that stung the face. The craft was soon owerhauled and search ed. with the result that her papers were found all wrong and no money on board. A prize crew. under Gunner Cantey, were put on board and the boat sent into port.
 Speed was reduced and the ram loaf ed along. at times awash in the trough of the sea. Toward sundown the star board watch struck 6 o'clock and start e1 the dog watch barking. A moment later the vessel shivered from stem to stern as she ground into a derelict jag afioat on the bosom of the fall tide. The derelict was turned up, but found to be worthless and so was sunk on the spot.
 Backing away from the wreckage the steamer sighted what looked like an Arab dhow painted yellow. The

BoRES INTO SAFE
blRMrNGHAM CHIEF LOOKING FOR
 ILLEGAL LIQUORS.
Proprietor of Soft Drink Establishment Seeks an Injunction Against . POlice--Judwe Feagin
 Changes Tactics.


 Birmingham. Sept. 2s.--(speciai )-- A big crowd of curious people gath cred this afternoon in front of the soft drink stand on the northeast corner of Morris Avenue and Twentieth Street to watch Chief of Police Bodeker with a crack, safe man bore Into 6 safe in which he suspected there was beer or liquor.
 Last night a white man working in the place and giving his name as c. l.. Hunt, was arrested on charge or violating the prohibition law. A search warrant was secured today and the Chief secured the services of an ex- pert safe man and went to the place for the purpose of making an investi- gation. He met resistance.
 The expert went to work on the safe and a warrant was sworn out against him charging him with .trespass. Chief Bodeker made bond for the man. Then an injunction was gotten out before Judge Lane of the Circuit Court against Mayor Ward and Chief of Police Bo- deker to prevent them from entering the safe and the boring was stopped while en officer was placed on duty to watch that there should be no inter ference with the big iron chest until the courts could decide the injunction proceedings.
 Chief of Police Bodeker today said that he was as determined as ever at getting at violations of the prohibition law and that his instructions to ms men were to watch and arrest all of- lenders, no matter where they were found.
 Judge Feagin this morning changed his tactics in imposing fines on onend- : CTS, allowing fines to be paid instead of adding street sentences, which al- ways brings an appeal to the higher court. Two or three heavy lines were paid today.

TO RAISE QUARANTINE.
Yellow Fever Quarantine Against Cu-
 ban Provinces Proved vexatious.

Washington, Sept. 2s.-It is conh- dently expected at the War Department that unless some unforeseen conting- ency develops, the yellow fever quar- antine maintained by the marine hos pital service against several provinces in Cuba, will bc raised about October 1st.
 Besides meeting with determined op- position from the Cubans-the quaran- tine has proved vexatious to the Am erican army now in Cuba. as is shown by the following extract from the an. nual report of Maj. Gen. Thomas H. Barry commanding the army of Cuban pacification:
 This quarantine and it's present. maintenance over the greater portion of the island seems to be in violation of a sanitary convention existing bo- tween the United States and the Re- public of Cuba. It has caused much inconvenience by impeding the move ments of persons connected with this army and has imposed upon them and the transport service, vexatious for maliGes. has discredited the excellent sanitary conditions maintained throughout Cuba and has inspired un- easiness among the relatives and friends of the American troops and civil officials"

He spoke of how important the improvement of these roads was for the merchants of the city to hold the trade from these sections.
 This good road question was discuss ed by several of the members present and 1t was cited that the county was spending in the neighborhood of $50,- 900 annually on the roads of the coun- ty.
