WHAT'S The REASON
Many Opelousas People in Poor Health

Many Opelousas People in Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.
There 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 ner-
vousness, dizziness, weakness.
languor and depression. Likely
the kidneys have fallen behind
in their work of fltering 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 one hundred thousand
people, and by your ~neighbors in
Opelousas.
Mrs. 7. Compton Chachere,
Landry St., Opelousas, La,
says: A member of my family
received splendid results from
the use of Doan's Kidney Pills,
procuoed from Shute's Drug
Store. He was troubled for
some time by irregular passages
of the kidney secretion accom-
paniediby pain in his book. These
troubles, I believe, were brought
on by hard work and heavy lift
ing. The use of three boxes
was so effective thai he was Civ
en- a very high opinion of this
remedp. He was relieved Of the
pains in his back and the kidney
secretlons were restored to their
normal condition"

died last evening at $50 O'Clock
at his home, corner Clarence ano
Front streets, after an illness
extending over several weeks,
brought about through Bright's
disease, from which he had been
a sufferer for a considerable
period.
Death was not unexpected.
MIR. Elms had not been confined
to his bed except for a few hours
preceding his departure, but his
health had steadily grown worse,
and little hope for his recovery
was entertained. On Monday OF
this week Nh. Elms was well
enough to make a trip uptown
with his SON.
Mr.. Elms was aged rs years,
A months and 8 days when death
came. The aged man was sur
rounded by his children when he
passed away, with the exception
of George Efas, Of New Orleans,
and Charles Elms, Of Shreveport,
both of whom arrived to day.
The deceased was one of the
prominent citizens of L a k e
Charles and the entire communi-
ty mourns his loss. He had been
a resident of Louisiana for more
than half a century, and was liv-
ing in Calcasieu parish at the
outbreak of the Civil war, in
which conflict Mr.. Elms had a
distinguished record of service.
George Osborn Elms was born
at Rock Island (Stanstead) Can
ada, Nov. IL, 1888, living there
with his parents until he was
about six years of age, when the
family moved to Lyman, N. H.
Here he remained until he was
10 years Of age.
At that age, in 1852, he came
south, working as a civil engi-
neer and surveyor on railroad
work, which was at that time in
its infancy. Mr.. Elms was en-
ployed in his capacity of civil en-
gineer on the first railroad that
invaded the state of Alabama.
During the next few years Mr..
Elms was employed on railroad
construction work in Alabama,
Mississippi, Illinois and other
states.
Mr.. Films settled in Louisiana
at a time preceding the Civil
War. His war record CLEANED
from his certificate of member
ship in the Louisiana division of
the Association Of the Army of
Tennessee, shows enviable SER
vice and rapid progress in the
Confederate army.
Mr.. Films enlisted at Opelou-
sas, St. Landry parish, April g.,
1862, walking from Lake Charles
to the place of enlistment, iden-
tifying himself as a private in
Captain Dorenus' company, af-
terward Company A, Twenty
eighth Louisiana Infantry, Col.
Allen Thomas commanding.
Private Elms was made a ser
geant on April 9, 1862; and an
with rank Of first lieu
tenant, May 8, 1862, in the
twenty eighth Infantry, known
then as the Twenty ninth In
Lieutenant Ems was in all the
around Vicksburp and
was captured July 4, 1863, at the
fall of that city. He was ex-
changad at Enterprise, Miss,
1868, and was again
captured September II, 1864, on
he Mississippi river near ST.
Joseph.
He was taken to Fort Warren,
Boston, and there held as a pris-
,ner of war until exchanged at
Richmond, Va, March 20, 1865,
