HONOR TO CITY

Honor IL Secured Through the E6ortn
Of Major n. Il. Steiner, . d.
rector of Central OF
Georgia.

Montgomery secures the honor Of
having the new steamship OF the
Ocean Steamship Company named after
1t. This comes as q victory in the fght
between the cities of Chattanooga, st
Louis ana Montgomery.
In railroad circles 1t Is believed that
the steamship was named after Mont
gomery because Major r. e. Steiner,
of Montgomery, Is a member of the
Board of Directors Of the Central OF
Georgia which has q predominating In
fuence in the affairs of the Ocean
Steamship Company. At any rate the
naming of a steamship which carries
to and from New York one of the larg-
est passenger list 10 no light honor,
and both St. Louis and Chattanooga
made strong bids for the honor.
Major Steiner put In the claims OF
Montgomery as one of the cities which
best supported the lines Of the Central
and as a director Of the Central. 1t Is
said he was able to secure the honor
for Montgomery. The steamship Is
building at Newport News and 1t Is
said that 1t will be one Of the hand
soonest and best steamships going into
New York harbor.

Women are inclined to fall into a
mistaken idea that any pain about the
hips or in the small Of the back Is
female weakness" and must be en-
dured as a trouble peculiar TO the sex.
Such patience is noble. but too often
unnecessary and unwise.
Kidney weakness. in man or woman,
will cause backache. sharp twinges
when STOPPING or lifting, bearing-down
pains, fits or "blues." nervousness. dig
~ spells, headaches, urinary disorders
and swelling OF the ankles or limbs.
This Is the point: Do not worry over
supposed female weakness until you
are very sure 1t is not kidney disease
that Is causing your troubles. The ma
ture of a woman's life and work makes
her fall an easy victim OF kidney sick
ness. The bending and STOPPING Of
house work, the tight clothing worn,
the strain OF childbirth and worry of
rearing children. the indoor life, colds,
fevers and constipation. all wear and
weaken the kidneys.
Backache. or any such irregularity as
the too frequent desire to urinate. pain
full or scalding passages or sediment in
the urine Is good cause to Judge that
you have weak kidneys
Then begin using Doan's Kidney
