ton of the railroads; their profits and
their resources; their present strength
and their possibilities, and there Is nj
feeling of fear that any danger what
ever to the railroads is involved in
the decision.
The plain fact that the railroads
failed To prove that they needed the
increased rates, is looked upon by the
commission as final and undeniable
proof that continuance OF their
present tariffs will not work any hard
ship upon them. The commissioners
believe that the railroads will prove
even more successful in the coming
year. under existing tariffs, than they
have been under the same tariffs in
the last year.

REACH THE CAUSE.
Many Tired, Rheumatic, Nervous
People Don't Know How to
Find 1t

Persons who at middle age should
feel the full strength and energy of
youth are often inclined to worry
too much. There are spells of
utter WEAKNESS, life is made miser-
able by constant lameness and dull
backache and sleep is disturbed
with pain.
You have tried to shake this off
and wonder why you can't. Prob
ably you have missed the hidden
cause-sick kidneys Prompt
treatment with Doan's Kidney Pills
would right things quickly.
Every day of your life the blood
gathers up dangerous amount of
uric poison, and if the kidneys do
not pass it off there is bound to be
serious trouble. Uric acid weights
the blood, clogs the circulation,
weakens the heart, dulls the brain,
initiates the nerves and forms lit
tie jagged crystals in the muscles
and joints that cause acute pain
when these parts are moved. These
pains you know as sciatica, rheu-
matism, iumbago, govt or neural
gia, according to where they occur.
Bloating occurs in time, agon-
ling attacks of gravel, and there
is danger of running into dropsy,
stone in the kidney diabetes or
Bright's disease.
Don't allow the kidney trouble
to get worse. Start using DOan's
Kidney Pills, which have cured
thousands and will surely help you.
