w. F. Ewart, Johnstone ST., New

T used Doan's Kidney Pills with such
good results that I gave statement
recommending them. Today l think
lust as highly of them and hope others
who are suffering from kidney trouble
will give them a trial. For quite
awhile my kidneys were disordered
and caused me tu suffer 8 great deal
from pain across the small OF my back
and through my loins. The kidney
secretions contained sediment, were
discolored and so frequent in action
as to oblige me to arise several times
at night. I tried several remedies
but obtained no benefit and when l
had Doan's Kidney Pills brought to
my attention by reading of the cures
that they were performing, l purchased
box. I used them accordlnR to d.
rections and in short time my back
reeained it's strength and I was freed
from pain. My kidneys were also
strengthened to great extent and
was once more able to control the
secretions'''

Stomach troubles would more quickl

Stomach troubles would more quickly
disappear if the idea Of treating the
cause, rather than the effect, would
come into practice. A tiny, inside, hid
den nerve, says DR.. Shoop, governs and
gives strength to the stomach. A branch
also goes to the Heart, and one to the
Kidneys. When these stinside nerves"
fail, then the organs must falter. DR..
Shoop's Restorative is directed specifi-
cally to these failing nerves. Within
48 hours after starting the Restorative
treatment patients say they realize a
gain. Sold by Kaufman Drug Co.

amounts paid in damages annually equal from 4 to per cent of the gross receipts. One cannot expect the casualties ever entirely to disappear. Human nature will continue fallible, and accidents are one of the prices which are paid for the enjoyment of the benefits of modern civilization, which include rapid transit. Never theless, in the last analysis, all acci- dents. or practically all, are caused by negligence on the part of the pub lie or the employees, or both. The pedestrian on the street will take chances about getting across the track before the approaching car reaches him, or will forget that an other car may be coming in an oppo- site direction. The passenger will jump on or of the car while it is in motion, and fail to do so safely. The motorman will start his car too soon or fail to stop it in time, the conduct or will give the wrong signal, and so on down the list. These things are bound to occur, even under the best conditions, but there is no doubt some good will accrue from careful work in endeavoring to lessen them.
 "A certain amount of instruction in the proper way of boarding and leaving cars can be given the public, but the principal remedy. so far as the public is concerned, is in making everything as nearly fool-propf as possible. Ii Is for this reason that the Minneapolis gate has proved sue cesful in reducing accidents from boarding and leaving cars. The same advantage is claimed for the pay-as- you-enter car, because the conductor remains on the rear platform and sees that passengers do not injure them- selves. The possibilities of instrue- tion. so far as the train crews them selves are concerned, are more favor able, because these men can be brought together and told explicitly what to do under different conditions to avoid accidents. as well as how to manipulate the controller or collect fares. For this instruction the ser vices of the claim agents of the com- pany are most useful. because they are constantly dealing with accidents and know under what conditions most of them arise. This plan is being followed by several companies with very satisfactory results. ."-Literary Digest

STREET RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
Cost Sometimes Amounts to 4 or s Per Cent of Gross Receipts.

Some analyses of the nature and cost of accidents on street railway systems have been prepared by indi- vidual companies for their own use, but it would be a difficult matter to compile a comprehensive table based upon all or a large proportion of the roads in the country. This matter, we are warned by an editorial writer in the Street Railway Journal, becomes more important every year, and the first step toward prevention of acci- dents is an understanding of the causes in action. He goes on to say:
