The sharp twinge of pain in the
small of the back that strikes you
after any sudden twist or awkward
movement tells of weak, sick, in
famed kidneys.
Men, women and children have bad
backs when the kidneys are sick.
Especially do older folks suffer with
bad kidneys, for the kidneys are the
hardest-worked organs of the body,
and an active life often wears them
out before there are any other signs
of advancing age.
Leafn the early warnings of sick
kidneys, and then it will be easy to
take any trouble in the beginning, and
with Doan's Kidney Pills, to make a
quick and lasting cure.
The common early signs of weak
ened kidneys are backache, lame back,
rheumatic pain, neuralgia, sharp pains
when STOPPING or lifting, nervousness,
irritability, failing eyesight, sallow,
drawn features, dark circles around
the eyes, dizzy spells, tired-out state,
dependency.
And there are usually disturbances
of the urine--too frequent passages,
scanty passages, with scalding or
burning pain. dark-colored, heavy
urine, having to get up at night.

FIRST WORK ON new
QUAY WALL BEGUN
Oakland Will Have Finest Pubs
lie Dock on the Pacific
Coast Soon

OAKLAND, Oct. 17.--Construction OF
the estuary quay wall. which will give
dockage to deep water vessels from
Myrtle to Clay streets. was begun to-
day by Hansbrough Brothers, the San
Francisco firm to whom the contract
was assigned by the Carterra con-
tracing company. The city will pay
$222,000 for the completeds wall from
Myrtle to Clay streets. Until property
along the water front from Clay street
to Broadway is acquired no work will
be commenced in those two blocks.
The quay wall is designed to meet
immediate demands, but will be SO
constructed that its dockage space may
be doubled by the extension of piers
outward obliquely from the shore. This
style of wall was adopted by the board
of public works on the recommendation
of special board of consulting en-
gineers whom the city retained.
WILL WORK CAREFULLY
The construction crews today were
raising pile driver at Myrtle street.
The excavation will be started at that
end, working easterly to Clay street.
To prevent loss to the city through ac-
cidents the company will be permitted
to lay concrete on the wall line in sec
tions, the first section to be completed
before the next is undertaken. There
will be four of these main divisions
from Myrtle street to Clay. Still an
other precaution restricts the excava-
tion to 200 feet in advance of the con-
crete work.
The trench will be 40 feet deep, with
hardpan bottom. At the base the trench
will be 25 feet wide. The concrete wall
will ascend from this foundation by a
series of steps to width at the sur
face of five feet. The water front of
the wall will be perpendicular with re-
cesses at regular distances for fender
piles to prevent the sides of ships from
striking the concrete wall. At the top
of the wall will be iron moving posts
and movable cranes for unloading and
loading vessels will be placed at in
teryals.
BEST ON COAST
The ground behind the wall will be a
solid FILL with warehouses back from
the water edge. Inside the space al
lotted for wharhng uses will be the
belt line railroad. Contiguous to the
tracks will be street for teaming.
The whole equipment, with cranes,
railroad tracks and spurs, water
front street and municipal warehouses,
will make the quay wall the most COM
plete and advanta geously situated pub :
lie wharf on the whole Pacific coast
In undertaking the construction
Hansbrough Brothers have commenced
at the most difficult section. The quay
wall line at Myrtle street abuts upon
the high tide line. A bulkhead of piles
must be raised to support the ground
and to keep back the tidal flow while
the trench is being excavated and the
reinforced concrete wall placed. The
first consignment of piles for this pur-
pose has been towed to Myrtle street
The actual beginning of excavations
will be made the occasion of public
celebration.
