Durango PEOPLE Have Found That
This 10 True.
A cold, strain, sudden wrench,
A little cause may hurt the kidneys.
Spells of backache often follow.
Or some irregularity of the urine.
A certain remedy for such attacks,
A medicine that answers every call,
Is Doan's Kidney Pills, true spe-
cific.
Many Durango people rely on 1t.
Here Is Durango proof.
Mrs. A. B. Jackson Of 1877 East
Thirteenth street, Durango, Colo,
says: "As the result of cold which
settled In my kidneys l was annoyed
great deal by a miserable aching
In the small of my back. If would
sit down, could not rise without
taking hold of something to aid me.
and II made any move suffered
severely. In Doan's Kidney Pills, pro-
cured at Tiffany's drug store, found
just the remedy my condition reQuir-
ed. They soon gave me relief from
the aches and pains. strengthened
my back. and gave me genuine salts

used them for similar troubles and
she, too, values them very highly"

VIRGINIA NEGROES,

The Times Dispatch has sense of
State pride that the Virginia Lcgis-
lature has appropriated $4,000 to pro-
vide a schoo, for the deaf and blind
negro children OF the State and an
annual sum for it's maintenance. Such
an institution will be a. noble monu-
OF the State. No State in the Union
treats its colored citizens will, greater
consideration than Virginia, and, on
the other hand, we believe that Nir-
ginia has the best and most desirable
negro citizens in the world. There is
no race problem in the Old Dominion.

The Times-Dispatch agrees with the

a characteristic restatement of his IA

for month or more. These frequent
reiterations of the glories of large

superfluous. They are not pleasing
They are not wise.
The first criticism can hardly be de-
Tended fully in the columns of news

himself certain frankness. He APP

Nor is this emphasis wise. Intelli
