ITS YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles A Canaan Citizen Shows How to
 Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from lame. weak or aching back they think that it is only a muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is just where the danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Bright's disease. The best remedy to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. It cures all ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Canaan people testify to permanent cures.
 Mrs. John Mansfield, Reed St.. Canaan, Conn.,, says: "A few minutes ago, l was troubled by swelling of my feet and ankles. became tired easily and often found it hard to get around In a short time after using Doan's Kidney Pills, the dropsical swelling had dis. appeared and I felt much better. found Doan's Kidney Pills to act as represented and l, therefore, take pleasure in recommending them to other kidney sufferers"

Mr. Dalzelps primaries and the remark of Dalzell's chairman that no congress- man is safe sent shiver down many congressional spines and increased the aforesaid desire to get through and go home. Now we may expect a hurry up finish. Rapid agreement may be looked for on the railroad bill, the post al savings bank measure will be rush. ed through the house, the conservation and statehood matters will be disposed of as speedily as possible, and the re- maining appropriations and odds and ends of legislation will be cleaned up with dispatch if not with neatness. In their hearts the members are singing Do they miss me at home, do they miss me?" and are wondering if the home folks have any designs of mak- ing them miss on coming back to Washington. These are troublous and changeable times in politics, and no man can tell what day, especially if 1t be election day, may bring forth.
 The Dalzell election is regarded as one more straw revealing the direc- tion of the political wind. Following the Massachusetts and New York spe- cial elections, its significance has not escaped the sharp eyes of the political leaders in Washington. The congress sional primaries in Maine, in which Colonel Hale, son of Senator Eugene Hale, is a candidate, are also looked upon as sign of troubled conditions. Another candidate before these same primaries is Asher c. Kinds, the par liamentary clerk of the speaker. and Kinds seems rather to be getting the better of Hale. Even Senator John Kean of New Jersey is having his tribulations, ex-Governor Franklin Murphy and several other ambitious gentlemen being evidently anxious for Kean's job. The Iowa primaries have also added to the excitement, as has the meeting of La Follette's enemies in Wisconsin. Looking the country over, there appears abundant reason for the nervousness of representatives and senators seeking reelection.

 one of the most important senate amendments to the railroad bill is that including telegraphs and tele- phones. As the house has already adopted a similar amendment, this provision is certain to be included in the final draft of the bill adopted in the conference committee. As framed by the senate, newspapers are ex- empted from the operations of the law, so that special press rates will still be possible. Certain classes of gov ernment business are also exempted. Telegraph franks are prohibited. Cable lines are included under the same terms as other telegraph busi- ness.

Victims Dying Statement Held
to Be Proper Evidence

William F. Cord. who was convicted
of manslaughter for killing John p

court yesterday.
The appeal was taken on the ground
that the dying statement of Pawley

weeks after the statement was made
The supreme court held that a dying
statement could be taken at any time
so long as the victim died OF the
wound
1t was the opinion of the supreme
court that statement not taken at
the last moment while the victim is
bordering on death is of far more
value as evidence. The district court
