Falls Show You How.

Get at the root of the trouble.
Rubbing an aching back may re-
lieve it.
But it won't cure it.
You must reach the root of 1.-THE
kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills go right at it,;
Reach the cause; relieve the pain.
D. Musser, retired soldier, N
Main St., Marshall, Mimi, says: cat
the time | began using Doan's Kid
ney Pills, | was suffering from a
disordered condition Of my kidneys.
The action of the secretions was too
frequent and caused me to arise
many times during the night. l was
also annoyed by a dull pain in my
back and until l procured Doan's
Kidney Pills, had been unable to find
relief for it. The benefit | received
from this remedy was remarkable
and L cannot speak too highly OF its
merits.

years of King Edward VII. which

Wales had been dining. The royal
guest was about to help himself to a
cigar from a buffet when a nouveau
richie, pushing forward, extended his
cigar case, saying, TRY one of mine.
sir; they are much better The prince
replied. with his proverbial urbanity,
My dear. sir, if my hosts dinner is
good enough for me his cigars GER
tainly are too"

DIRECTORS WANT TO KNOW
Decide at Monthly Meeting to Push

Team on Its Way.

Finances was the principal topic of
ner held by the Rock Island Baseball
association at the Rock Island Club
last evening It. F. LaVelle took his
turn as host for the occasion. Every
thing save finances was found to be
in a most hopeful state, but this feat
ure requires looking after to such an
extent that it was decided to meet
again next Friday evening and hear a
report from the soliciting committee
If the necessary cash is raised there
is no doubt that the coming season
will be the best in a baseball way that
Rock Island has seen.

For years 20 of Rock Islands citizens
have kept putting their hands into
their pockets to provide first class
league ball for Rock Island These
people paid SlG0 a share for their
stock, have since paid in STA a share
additional. have served also as officers
without salary, except the secretary,
and have never received cent in
profits or dividends. Four years ago
the citizens generously Joined with the
stockholders in providing new park
one of the best minor league parks
in the state. Since that time they
have not been asked to contribute any
thing except their good will. Last
year was a hard one for all minor
leagues, but Rock Island kept its club
in the field all of the season at a net
loss of over $4,000 more than the re-
ceipts.
Now Face Deficit.
The officers of the club now face the
opening of the season. of 1909 with a
depleted treasury. Manager Tishe has
signed the best bunch of ball players
ever under Rock Island contract, but
to call these IS men will require more
cash than the stockholders are willing
TO advance. TO help out. committee
of citizens is now circulating sub
scription paper to raise cash. The
stockholders are each contributing an
additional S25 and some of the enter
prising citizens and business firms who
wish professional ball continued are
also contributing: but more is needed.
and it is hoped the committee will be
cordially received by-t those upon whom
they are to call.
