A GREAT CURSE OF MODERN LIFE

There is no more serious danger to health than the presence of too much uric acid in the body. It Is the duty of the kidneys to rid the system of uric poisons as fast as they accum- ulate. When the kidneys fail to do this work thoroughly. uric acid attacks be- gin, first in one part then in another.
 The cause of these attacks Is so like ly to be mistaken. even py a doctor, that it is well to post yourself on the subject. If uric acid troubles are rec ognized In the beginning. 1t Is easy to cure the weakened kidneys with Doan's Kidney Pills. and when the kid neys are working right again, the uric acid will be driven off as fast as 1t gathers in the urine.
 It is dangerous to neglect sick kid neys. It leaves the uric acid free to attack and damage every organ of the body. The blood gets so thick with waste matter that it moves slowly. the heart beats queerlv, the +eins and ar teries harden: uric acid crystals are deposited in muscles and joints. and are likely to form into sediment, gravel and stones Tn the kidneys and bladder; dropsy swellings appear and the gradual tendency Is towards Bright's disease.
 The pains from uric acid attacks are characteristic: backach~, sciatica. muscular or articular rheumatism, neu- ralgia, lumbago. palms through the

provement work done by the city of Montgomery for the year just ended
 Following a detailed statement of the paving and sidewalk work done. 1t states that practically all of the side walks In the central portion of the oity are In excellent shape. 1t gives in de- tall the street paving and sewer work completed and states in figures the following:
 Length of sewers built during the year 4.s6s feet at cost of s3s.s1s.3s. curbing set along city streets, 2.5< miles at a cost of s5.sss.2s; street paw ing done at cost of $S3.e329s.
 The report says:
 owing to unfavorable finding of the Supreme Court we were compelled to do without money from the county road and bridge fund this year. from which we received such material sup port last year in tho building of roads and bridges. All street work had to be paid out of the general fund and we were compelled to restrict work as neal ly as possible to the amount of the appropriation of the street department for the current year. However, the Legislature at It's special session re- enacted this law and the future of the city will thereby be materially assist ed by these funds in constructing and improving roads and building perma- nent bridges to replace the temporary ones now in place at various points"
 The report further shows that 47S building permits calling for construc- tion work to cost s555.S56.93 were is- sued. The largest sum named in per init was for the cost of the new high school building This permit was is- ssed for $I03,000.
 The City Engineer recommends addi- tional power for the water works and declares that the parks and roadways in the cemeteries are in good condition.
