The woman who 'keeps house" has
enough to do when she is in good, sound
health, but if she is weak, tired all the
time, and suffering from morn to night
with an aching back, house-work becomes
q heavy burden.
Many women who were afflicted in this
way say that Doan's Kidney Pills have
made life easier for them.
Women are subject to kidney disease.
The clothing they wear, the work they do,
the worry and strain of bearing and rear

Backache, bearing-down pains, headache,
dizzy spells, faintness, fits of "blues," and
other troubles often thought to be peculiar
to the sex, are found frequently in kidney

ton of the kidney secretions, with passages
too frequent, scanty or burning, just make
up your mind that your kidneys are weak,
and be quick to help them.
Doan's Kidney Pills have helped a great
many weak women through the trying
times when kidney disease means so much
added misery. They do not disturb the
stomach or bowels and contain no poison

Gen. Price, who had long maintained
footing in Missouri with his small
Confederate force against the opera
tons of the Federals under Fremont,
Hunter, and Halleck, was obliged to
abandon Springfield and fall back to-
ward Ozark and Wilson creek. For
want of transportation facilities, he
was forced to leave behind him some
military stores and equipments, that
fell into the hands of Gen. Curtis, who
occupied Springfield with a Federal
force after Gen. Price had left.
The Confederate states undertook
to build a railroad from Danville, Va,
and Greensborough, N. G. The con-
gross passed an act and President Da-
Wis approved it, providing for the con-
struction of the road as a military
necessity.

The Nashville American seconded
the warning against apathy and conf
dence-in providence on the part of
southerners which the Richmond
Courier lately expressed in a strong
editorial. From the beginning of the
war TO the present time the constant
cry OF the people of the south has
been, God and the British are on our
slde. That cry has seemed to satisfy
100 many of those whose lives and all
nave been at stake that we would
triumph without proper energy Of our
own. The first news that is looked
Tor IN the morning paper is The lat
est foreign intelligence, We put
our trust in God and the British.
The disaster at Fishing Creek and
the equally fatal result at Fort Henry
may begin to open our eyes to the
fact that God and the British will not
help us until we learn to help our
selves. This defeat may also serve
to teach us that which every great
general has found out before he has
fought many battles, that individual
bravery is valueless against organized
drill and discipline. -
