WHEN THE KIDNEYS GIVE OUT

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 dead
tired feeIing-freedom from those
stabbing. darling pains?
This is the condition that so often
comes at middle age, bringing with it
an extreme nervousness and irritable
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 I'M
usual activity doubles the duties of the
kidneys. and in time the strain tells.
With healthy kidneys, one has a
good chance to live long. but weak
kidneys affiict old age with great dis
comforts. The back becomes bent
and lame. rheumatism is chronic, eye
sight fails. and too frequent or invol-
un-ary passages of the urine cause
embarrassment by day and loss of
sleep at night.
Doan's Kidney Pills bring new
strength to old backs, and quick relief
to weakened kidneys They Danish

from offering such instructions as it
may desire. The new rule gives the
minority the preference in making such
a motion and thus enables them to get
a record vote on the proposition which
would otherwise be settled in commit

is possible.
Third, it protects the calendar
Wednesday by requiring a two-thirds
instead of a majority vote to set it
aside.
Fourth, it is also claimed that the
amendment will have the effect of pre-
venting favOritism by the action of the
committee on rules in special cases.
A prominent feature of the Clark
resolution was an amendment provid-
ing for a committee of Is to revise,
amend and codify the rules and much
of the opposition to it was because of
this fact. AS adopted the Fitzgerald
amendment makes no change in the
method of selection of the committee
on rules, which is made by the speaker-
nor is there any change in the method
of selecting committees.
Speaker Cannon is inclinedd to re-
gard the amendment as d slight i'm

PRISON HARDSHIPS
Affected after LIFE

Liquids formed his principal diet, an
solid food hurt him and made the pain
more severe.
"Dostors were consulted, but failed
to help him. One doctor diagnosed his
trouble as cancer of the stomach, and
held out no hope. He also tried a num-
Der of remedies that were recommends
ed, but might as well have saved his
money for all the good they did. About
two months ago he was persuaded to
give the Cooper remedies a trial. and
procured a treatment of Cooper's New
Discovery.
NOW he is well. 1 have not seen
him look so strong and hearty IN years.
He feels splendid, and eats any kind OF
food he likes. All the pain has disap-
peared. and he is entirely free from
gas. We deeply appreciate what Coop
er's New Discovery has done for him,
and having proved 1t to be a sovereign
stomach medicine, we do not hesitate
to freely recommend IT to all who suf-
fer from stomach disorders"
Cooper's New Discovery is now on
sale at leading druggists everywhere.
If you are unable to get it from your
local druggist, notify The Cooper Medi-
cine Company, Dayton. Ohio.

any view of concurring in it., F. G.
Dumbeck, assistant general freight
agent, said this morning.

general freight agent of the Rock
Island lines west of the Missouri river.
1--WE have no intention of joining in
any such rate
There are those who are disposed
to question the sincerity of Mr.. Halle
when he proposed to put in the rate
1t would leave Mr.. Halle in rather
pleasant position, he having promised
to put in the reduced rate and finding
it impossible to do so, be able to say
to the shippers of Oklahoma City that
he intended to put in the rate. but be-
cause of the opposition OF the other
railroads he found it impossible.
