IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause Of Your
Troubles. A Prescott Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only a muscular weakness: when
urinary troubles set in they think it
will soon correct Itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That i where the danger
lies. You must cure these troubles or
they will lead to diabetes or Bright's
disease. The best remedy to use is
Doans Kidney Pills. 1t cures all the
ills which are caused by weak or dis
eased kidneys. Prescott people testify
to permanent cures.
f. J. Tahoferro, Prescott, Ark,
says: Last winter | suffered a great
deal from disordered kidneys. There
was a stiffness in my back, extending
into my neck, and | was also troubled
by dull feeling in my head. My back
ached all the time, and my work seemed
to greatly aggravate my suffering. |
steadily grew worse and | finally
noticed that the kidney secretions were
becoming too frequent in passage |
procured box of Doan's Kidney Pills
from Hesterly's drug store, and they
were the only remedy that ever reached
my case. Since using two boxes of
Doan's Kidney Pills, | have been com
pletely cured. feel very grateful to
this reliable remedy for its good
work.

Considerable preparations are being made by the

Japanese Trade tives to the exposition, visiting
it during its life time with view
of cuvating more friendly relations between the two
governments and with the further view of giving the
merchants of this country better opportunity of in
creasng commercial relations between the two coun-
tries The following figures will give the reader some
idea of the business already existing between the two
countries which it is hoped will be greatly increased
from on:
Japan has a very neat balance of trade against US.
Our exports to that country for 1908 $685. 64 78
as compared with SAL 068 508 for 1907 The imports
from Japan show similar movement, the figures being
for 19O8 $685. 98 $780, compared with ST. 379 for
the year 1907
The imports of tea from China continue to decrease
while those from Japan fairly hold their own While
the gross shrnkage the value of our tea imports Tor
the year amounts ST. 900 it rather creditabe to
the Japanese that their product shows shrnkage of
only S4OO 900 while accounting for more than 80 per
cent of the whole import.
Japan now supplies the United States with % per
cent of it's silk imports and while the total OF these
has decreased from $73 09 581 in 1907 to S65 066
the japanese contribution shows decline only from
$40 844 344 to $39, 1886, 1913.

the least is alarming and
if it is to continue then the manufacture of the deadly

man at the wheel of an automobile begins to run the
machine against time he starts it up, and
the faster runs the faster he wants it to and
never sacks up until the thing refuses to bulge another

in existence but it shoue be used for pleasure and not
for record breaking In Seattle nine out OF every ten
