FEEL LIKE GIVING UP
Doan's Kidney Pills Will Cure
That Kidney Backache

Dark DAYS come when the kidneys
are sick. A bad back makes you
miserable all the time. You awake
tired, lame and sore. 1t is task to
get dressed, it hurts to bend over,
it is agony to straighted up again.
All day the dull, throbbing ache
keeps up, with stabs of piercing pain
when you twist or turn; whirllng
dizzy spell, specks and spots dane
ing before the eyes, miserable head
aches and a dead, tired or languid
feeling.
No wonder that so many people
who have bad backs get despon-
dent and nervous. They too often
do not know that it is sick kidneys
that causes it all.
There is prompt relief IN using
Doan's Kidney Pills. Backache dis
appears and continued treatment
cures and heals the weakened kid
neys.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the
kidneys only. For years and years
they have been curing backache
and sick kidneys. The success of
Doan's Kidney Pills has brought out

A Peculiar Accident.

A special from Cordele, Ca,
to the Times-Democrat, says:
Chief of Police Summer re-
turned today from Worth Coun-
ty, where he had a narrow es-
cape from being blown to pieces
in a peculiar accident. He says
that a farmer named Striedinger
had some very valuable swine
and desired him 1.-THE chief to
see the drove.
One Of the finest ''porkers" in
the bunch was asleep and refus-
ed to get up. The farmer kicked
the pig in the ribs and there was
an explosion that took the chief
off his feet, knocking the farmer
down and blew out the side of
the building. incidentally it
killed the, pig,
The farmer later discovered
that a quantity of dynamite that
he had hidden under the pen for
blasting purposes had been eaten
by the pig.

It is distinctly to the advantage

matter to be represented at the

toward q wonderful destiny.
To it will come the most dis
tinguished men Of America, rep

ment and the common sense to
look oyer the stage upon which
it is to be dramatized.
Upon the showing made by
the south in Atlanta Georgia,

A few years ago the moving
picture film was applied to the
purposes Of entertainment only,
but today they are educational
and are used that way in colleges
and in the movement toward the
education Of the people in prac-
teal methods of sanitation. 1t
seems that the moving pictures
have also invaded the churches,
for a popular Chicago pastor has
decided to conduct such a show
in his church every Sunday even
ing.
He has been impressed by the
fact that while the Sunday even
ing theatres are crowded, espe-
cially those where the moving
pictures are the chief attraction,
ministers OF the gospel preach to
empty benches. Therefore he
has reached the conclusion that
moving pictures can be made to
carry a moral, and to INSTRUCT
and elevate, while they amuse
and entertain. The Chicago
preacher, however, is not a
pioneer of this particular field,
but it appears that he has pitch
ed his plan on a much larger
scale than has been attempted
heretofore,
The humorous as we'll as ex-
citing features of the issurrec-
ton in Mexico, across the Rio
Grande from FL PaSo, Texas,
have attracted the moving pic
ture man who is now on the spot
and very busy. The other day,
after driving the Mexican regu-
lars into Juarez, a brave band of
insurrectos marched along the
bank of the river and had their
pictures taken by the man with
the film, hence we may soon be
entertained with real war scenes
for FIVE cents. And in time, per-
haps, we may have moving pic
lures showing the chastened Re-
publicans in the act of relieving
the American people of the tariff
burdens. Daily States.
