Many Opelousas People in Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.

Without Knowing the Cause.
The are scores of people who drag
out a miserable existence without
realizing the cause of their suffering.
Day after day they are racked with
backache and headache; suffer from
nervousness, dizziness, weakness, Ian
gnor and depression. Likely the kid
neys have fallen behind in their work
of flttering the blood and that is the
root Of the trouble. Look to your
kidneys, assist them in their work
give them the help they need. You
can use no better remedy than Doan's
Kidney Pills-endorsed by over on
hundred thousand people, and by your
neighbors5 in 0pelousas.
Mrs. T. Compton Chachere, Landry
ST., Opelousas, La. says. "A member
of my family received splendid re-
suits from the use Of Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured from Shute's Drug
Store. He was troubled for some
time by irregular passages of the
kidney secretions, accompanied by
pain in his back. These troubles, |
believe, were brought on by hard
work and heavy lifting. The nse Of
three boxes was so effective that he
was given a very high opinion of this
remedy. He was relieved of the
pains in his back and the kidney Sc
cretions were restored to their nor

STARTLES TAX MEN.
Farmers Says Farms Are Underlined
Hits the kickers.

Lansing, Mich. Aug. 2S.-The days
! of the miracles are still with us. II
came to pass at the hearing of the
state equalization that what has been
thought impossible by all those who
are thrown into contact with legis-
latlve and public bodies generally
really occurred.
There appeared a farmer. or at leas
man who owns a farm and lives
I'm rural community, who, when his
time came to speak. didn't rise up and
say that the grasping corporations and
the big cities were the only favored
of the earth and that the farmer is
poor and down-trodden and who
didn't bring forward figures to prove
that everyone should pay taxes but
the farmer.
The man who took this position was
Charles A. Bailey of st. Clair county.
He told the board that he thought
Port Huren was assessed right up
TO cash value now and that i'm his
county, while he believed the state
commission had placed the total val
uation too high, that IL could stand n
$5000,000 increase over the assessed
valuation by the supervisors and that
the bulk of this should be laid on the
agricultural districts.
II want to say" said Mr. Bailey,
that don't come from one of these
poverty stricken counties we have
been hearing so much about. If | did
I'd move out into n good county. Any
man who has the nerve to get up
here and tell this board that farm
lands haven't increased I'm value In the
last five years IL not truthful.
II represented my county before
this board twenty years ago. and ]
thought then that | had never heard
such an aggregation of liars in my
life. Most OF the men who appeared
here at the time are dead now. but n
new crop has grown up.
MY county doesn't care rap what
you do. If you leave us where we are
and take the figures Of the tax COM
mission for the other counties also,
well fare all right. because the rate
