WHEN THE KIDNEYS FAIL.
Leon People Have Found That Ill
Health Quickly Follows.

DO you ever feel that you simply
can't go any further-that you must
have rest from that lame and aching
back-relief from the constant,
dead-tired feeling-freedom from
those stabbing, darling pains? Like
ly your kidneys are worn and tired
and need help. The kidneys work
night and day, removing uric acid
from the blood and other waste Gre
ated by exercise of strength and en-
ergy. Naturally life of unusual
activity doubles the duties of the
kidneys and in time the strain tells.
Doan's Kidney Pills have brought
new strength to thousands of bad
backs and quick relief to weakened
kidneys. Let them do the same for
you.
Mrs. Matte Stringham, S. Burke
St., Mt. Ayr, Iowa, says: "Doan's
Kidney Pills have been used in our
family with excellent results. Diff
ferent members have taken them for
difficulty with the kidney secretions
and weak and aching back and have
been cured. always keep the rem
edy in the house and when anyone
complains of these troubles, a few

Ing one saloon for each one thousand
inhabitants, taking the last national

Applications have thus far been re-

Commissioner Gray states that the

The Point Of Difference.

The controversy hinges upon the
supervisors Interpretation of the con-
tract with the Mississippi River Pow
er company and the terms Of the con-
tact ITSELF
The supervisors say that the road
bed of macadam shall be seventeen
feet in width and eight inches deep
while the contract says that the road,
bed of macadam shall be seventeen
feet in width and makes no mention
as to the depth Of the macadam.
The Water Power company thinks
that the road will be first class if the
macadam is approximately eight
inches in the center and sloping off
to a depth much less at the outer
edges where travel would be light.
