WHEN YOUR BACK ACHES

A bad back turns every twenty four hours into one dull round of pain and misery-you are lame in the morning, nagged all day by a dull, throbbing backache, can't rest in the evening or sleep well at night. It hurts to bend over, straighten up, get up from 6 chair, or lift even a light weight. Any sudden twist, turn or awkward movement sends a tear ing twinge of pain through the weak spot.
 Backache is really kidney ache. The kidneys are in the small of the back, and any pain there is enough cause to suspect your kidneys. If the urine is discolored, contains sandy sediment, or passes too frequently, then you have double proof.
 Keep the kidneys well and the kid neys will keep you well. Well kid neys filter the blood and keep it pure. Diseased kidneys only partly purify the blood. Neglect weak kid neys and you invite uric acid poison ing, gravel, stone in the kidney, rheu- matism, heart trouble. diabetes, Bright's disease, and a long list of other serious disorders now recogniz- ed as having their cause in kidney weakness.
 At the first sign of backache or urinary disorders, give the kidneys quick help, not with plasters, lini-

A NEW AUTO.
c. p. Mullen Becomes More Modern

The Tempe district sports another new auto. Charles P Mullen has grown tired of driving a horse these hot days and as he has occasion to cover good many miles each day, has resorted to the more modern method of burning gasoline. He purchased a new Rec in Phoenix Saturday and was so apt in catching on to the peculiar ities of the invention that he managed to get it as far as Tempe without as- sistance. So expert had he become with this little practice in it's manipu- lation. that upon reaching here he took his father on to Kyrene with him and gave Uncle Joe the ride of his life.

ments, nor any other outside appli- cations. but with a special kidney medicine.
 The simplest and most effective remedy for sick kidneys is Doan's Kidney Pills. If there is weakness, congestion, inflammation or soreness, Doan's Kidney Pills quickly relieve it. They gently stimulate, tone and strengthen sick kidneys, drive away backache, rheumatic pain and dizzi- ness, clear up and regulate the urine, and restore a perfect Altering of the blood. Best of all, this relief is per- manent.
 PHOENIX PROOF.
 John Rehwaldt of S2 S. Second Ave, Phoenix, Ariz.. says: For years I was subject to attacks of kidney trouble, the pains across the small of my back and over the kid ney regions being very severe. At times sharp cricks would seize me and make it almost impossible for me to straighten after stopping. I could scarcely touch the region around the kidneys, as the slightest pressure caused throbbing pains. I finally procured Doan's Kidney Pills at Adams Pharmacy and they promptly relieved me. I continued using them and was cured. I can now say that I have not had any return of my old complaint"

CONSERVATION
President Makes First Of
fiCial Utterance in a
Letter on the
Question.

Chicago, June l-~a letter, said to
be President Ta>t.s first authorita-
tive utterances on the conservation OF
national resources. was received here
yesterday by A. w. Shaw, editor OF a
business mans magazine. The let
ter follows:
THE conservation of national re-
sources is a subject which will prop
erly claim from the present adminis-
tration earnest attention and appro-
prite legislation. The necessity for a
comprehensive and systematic inn
provement of our waterways, the
preservation OF our soil and OF our
forests. the securing from monopilis-
tic private appropriation the power
In nayigable streams. the retention OF
The undisposed coal lands OF the gov
ernment from complete alienation
all these matters are vitally impor-
tant to the people of the United
States, and to your constituency,
the business men of the country
without the resources which make
labor productive, American enter
prise, energy and skill would not in
the past have been able to make
beadway against hard conditions.
Dur children and their children will
not be able to make headway II we
leave to them an impoverished coun-
try. Our land. our waters our
forests and our minerals are the
sources from which come directly or
indirectly, the livelihood of all OF us.
Tne conservation OF our natural re-
sources Is a question OF fundamental
Importance TO the United States now
