A BAD BACK is A BAD HANDICAP

Few OF us can afford to be idle, and
To those who work. sound. strong
back rs a necessity. A bad back pre-
vents rest or sleep. aud aches all day
with dull, tired throb.
Don't think because sharp twinges
strike you when you lift. o. twist
about. or reach, that your work Is too
hard TO- you. Bad backs are common
In every occupation. Those aches
and twinges are only Natures warn
ings that the kidneys need help.
II is easy to tell IL the kidneys are
sick. and are net thoroughly doing
their work of filtering the blood.
Bockache Is an early warning. Head
ache. dizzy spells. puffy swellings IN
der the eyes or in the ankles and legs.
nervousness, irritability, rheumatic
pain and tired feelings also tell OF
kidney Ills.
Examine the urine. II II Is extreme
ly pale and light, the kidneys are not
getting out all Of that uric poison. IL
II Is dark colored and thick, passages
too frequent. or too scanty, IL there
is any sediment deposited when 1t
stands. IL passages burn or pain. that
Is proof enough that the kidneys need
attention.
Doan's Kidney Pills have given
strong. sound backs to thousands.

ABOLITION PLAN
TO Be DISCUSSED
Estimators Call. Special Meeting To
Talk Over Mayors Proposal That
Board Be Wiped Out.

An unofficial meeting OF the board OF
estimates has been called for next
Friday evening In the council cham
ber The occasion is the address OF
Mayor Breitmeyer. In which he advo-
Gated abolishing the present board and
substituting a small board appointed
| by the mayor.
This announcement OF the mayor
was a subject for comment by the esti-
majors. Friday afternoon, when they
made their annual trip to inspect the
county house and insane asylum In
Eloise. Most Of the members Of the
board opposed the suggestion. arguing
for ward representation and large
board. This sentiment was voiced In
several after-dinner speeches.
"A small. appointive board could be
handled too easily" said Estimator
Wobrock.
Under the mayors plan we would
have six Tom Craigs on the board
asserted Estimator Barnett, six men
representing the wealthy districts OF
the city whose only aim would be to
cut taxes down. We would get few
improvements under the plan.
1T seems that we are criticized
whatever the board does. They say
that the tax rate Is too high and at
the same time. there Is complaint that
the streets are I'm bad condition and
that we did not allow enough money.
Barnett also roasted Estimator
Craig for the latter's recent interview
anent salaries and the high tax rate
which was taken as a criticism OF the
board.
Craig should be the last man to
go back on the action of the board"
declared Barnett HE elected John
F.. Behlow president and dictated the
committee appointments. He ought to
stand by the man who gave him the
best craftsmanship on the board"
Barnett then accused Craig OF
"ducking" on the matter of authoriz-
ing the issue of bonds to pay for vot-
ing machines.
Estimator Palmer said he was In
favor OF some changes in the budget
airy system, but believed that COM
mittee from the board OF estimates
should be appointed to act In regard
to any charter amendment.
This board now has power with
out responsibility" he said.
Estimators Robinson, Emil Snyder.
Brown and Ferguson made short
speeches. City Clerk Nichols said that
although he had nearly lost his voice,
1t had not been cut out by the esti-
majors. Aid. Gilman pleaded guilty
TO being closer to the board OF esti-
majors than any other alderman and
commended the record Of the board.
Supt Walker, of the county house.
and Supt. Marker, Of the asylum dis
cussed their work. Secretary Prenz-
lauer, OF the poor commission. presid.
ed over the trip and at the dinner.
introducing Estimator Joseph Arm
strong as toastmaster.
Mr.. Prenzlauer made the oratorical
hit OF the evening In a very witty ad-
dress. Charles d. Cameron spoke In
behalf OF the press.
During the trip boom was started
for Estimator Armstrong for the pres
idency OF the board In 1910, and 1t
was said that enough pledges we're Sc
cured to insure his election. Owing
to the absence OF President Behlow,
the customary presentation Of gavcl
to him will be delayed until Friday
evening.
The estimators found the county
house and asylum In perfect condition
and their approval was expressed In
all the addresses made.

CIRCUS FULL OF COMEDY.
Barnum g. Bailey Show Has Company
of Worlds Best Clowns.

Sixty Of the worlds funniest clowns
help UNNECESSARILY to add to the great
attractiveness OF this season Of the
Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on
Earth. There Is hardly a moment dur
ing the three hours that the circus Is
at its height that the crowds are not
laughing at some Of the funny stunts
performed by the droll fellows.
With the clowns this season are a
number Of celebrated fellows VINO have
won fame in France and Germany.
The versatility of these men is very
pronounced. All of the work Of the
clowns Is carefully thought out and
planned and many are the skits and
burlesques that are introduced to set
the crowds in a roar. There are tall
clowns and short ones, fat fellows
who exude humor, and lean chaps
with the hungry look that compels
laughter. And how they seem to mis-
treat one another occasionally. There
are the bad fellows who will fight and
are arrested and carried of by the
police.
Many OF the clowns bring properties
to their aid and some Of them use
highly trained animals. One Of the
latest skits is a burlesque airship that
spells ruin to the Merry Andrews who
try to operate It, There Is a comical
Arctic expedition. and there isNa band
Of mighty hunters who are afraid OF
the animals being hunted.
Interest in the coming Of tina Bar.
mum G. Bailey circus Is reaching a
high pitch.
The big show Is to be seen in De-
troit, Thursday, June II.

Comets tall spread by earth's atmos-
phere.

The comet season is here. Every
night now the tails, millions Of miles
In length. lash about the earth, cross
ing its path and disappearing.
Look at the big comet In the dia-
gram. You will notice its tail splat-
ters near the earth. This Is because
of the resistance offered by the at.
mospheric envelope OF the earth, which
reduces the tail to powder before the
substance reaches us.
The earth has passed through the
tails Of many comets, but no one
knew of II save the scientists. The
comet tail Is all scare and no sub
stance.

ROAD STARTED At
WATERv|[[E
PEOPLE OF TOWN TO BUILD
ELECTRIC LINE-FAILURE OF
G. N. BRANCH NO BALK TO
FARMERS.

Waterville, Oct. 16.-Greatly dis
appointed when the Washington &
Great Northern railroad decided to
build northeasterly from Douglas and
thus avoid this town, the people of
Waterville voted to construct and
operate a road of their own, if neces-
sary in order to give the place trans
portation.
For this purpose a company was
organized and 100000 worth of
stock was placed on the market,
which was subscribed for entirely by
local people. Contract for grading
the road was let by means of sealed
bids to John Mohr, who gave heavy
bonds to have the road completed in
60 days. A. l.. Rogers also was ap-
pointed chief engineer and Norval
Enger of the county surveyors Office
was made assistant.
The proposed road will have a wye
near the center of the town and from
there will take a southeasterly direc-
ton to Douglas, distance of a little
less than five miles. The plan OF
operation, when completed, will be by
electricity and this will be furnished
from the Entiat Light and Power
company, which has just installed al
immense plant on the Entiat river
The road will be of standard gauge
and so can be operated by steam il
at any time it seems necessary. The
Great Northern has agreed to furnish
the rails and ties at wholesale prices
but further than that it is in no wa!
! interested in the line. Ever since the
Coulee City branch of the Northern
Pacific abandoned its gradings beyond
that city Waterville has been talking
and waiting for a road and only now
| have they succeeded in their efforts
! due entirely to their own initiative
| and enterprise.
