Eighth street, Lewiston, Idaho, says:
81 cannot say enough in praise of
Doan's idney Pills as l used them
with the best of results. For long
time | was annoyed by the irregular
action of my kidney secretions,
which was too frequent, and caused
me to rise often during the night.
The secretions were highly colored,
contained a sediment and caused
considerable pain during passage.
My back was also source of suffer-
ing, being so weak and lame that
at times | could scarcely stand erect,
To-day am free from all pain in my
| back or kidney weakness, and owe II
all to Doan's idney Pills, which
procured at the Idanha Pharmacy
Their use gave me more positive re-
lief than any other preparation
ever tried"

When q member of the Cosmos club
sees new revenue stamp or a cigar
box nowadays he does not merely
scratch II with his penknife-he
pounces upon il IN fine rage and OBJ
iterates the green paster with gnasii-
ing of teeth and hatchet. The club
Is Iust recovering from severe fright
oocasioued by the neglect OF some
OF its Japanese boys to destroy the
mark as the law directs and the gov
errment at Washington is now pom
dering on what penalty the club shall
be assessed Tor the cuiDabilitv Of its
servants. The club will call a $50
hne bargain.
In their rounds three weeks ago
the deputy revenue collectors pcunced
upon 8 japanese cigar store that con
tanned empty cigar boxes with uncan-
eeied revenue stamps. in direct con-
prevention OF the regulations OF the
Revised Statutes. The japanese ad-
a1itted under pressure that he had
secured the boxes from the Cosmos
club. Then the revenue officials took
after the comfortable Suffer street club.
FORMER CLUB ENPLoYE
From the house manager il was
learned that the japanese boy in ques-
ton had worked there IS months ago
and that some OF the brands ne had in

When the japanese admitted that

which the entire student body agreed

was brought about By the posting OF
