The Proof That Grand Rapids Read
ers Cannot Deny.
What could furnish stronger evil
dence of the efficiency of any rene
dy than the test of time? Thousands
Of people testify that Doan's Kidney
| Pills cure permanently.
Home endorsement should prove
undoubtedly the merit of this remedy
Years ago your friends and neighbors
testified to the relief they had deriv-
ed from the use of Doan's Kidney
Pills. They now confirm their tes-
timonials. They say time has COM
pleted the test.
Thomas Burr, 428 Eighth St., N,
Grand Rapids, Wis, says: q am
glad to confirm the public statement
l gave in 1907, recommending Doan' S
Kidney Pills. My back ached severe
ly and I was subject to dull, nagging
pains across my loins. The secre-
tfons from my kidneys deposited sedi,
ment and were highly colored. Doan'
Kidney Pills, which I procured at
John E. Days Drug Store, took eff
feet on my trouble as soon as I be-
gan their use and it was not long
before all symptoms of my complaint
disappeared"

cr drainage organs every few days
with Salts, Cathartic Pills, Castor Oil

foul gases, take the excess bile from
the liver and carry out of the system
all the decomr osed waste matter and
poisons in the intestines and bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will make you

MCCORMICK DEFENDS
HIS BIG CONCERN
Says the Harvester Company Is Not
Trust and Is Public
Benefactor.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. j
CHICAGO, May Cyrus H. Nc
Cormick, president OF the Interna-
tional Harvester company, said that
the corporation was not violating any
law, and that it differed from the 9TH
er organizations prosecuted under the
Sherman law as monopolies in re-
straint of trade.
The international Harvester com
pany,' he said, was organized in
1892 to secure economy in the manu-
facture and sale Of farm machinery
and to increase the foreign trade. 1t
had no water in its capitalization,
and has earned only reasonable re-
turn on its capital-less than Z per
cent a year on the average. Ma
chinery prices are practically the
same as in 1902, although raw ma
terial has advanced Is per cent and
wages 80 per cent.
The company has caused large
saving to farmers in the cost of agri.
cultural implements and 1t has not
sold cheaper abroad than it has at
home. More than six years ago, the
company asked for it's Investigation
by the United States government and
opened all its books and records for
inspection. No suggestion of any
change in it's business methods has
been made to it by the government
at any time. Some plan may yet be
found which will obviate the neces
sity of any protracted litigation by
satisfying the claims under the Sher
man law, without seriously impairine
the economic advantage and benefits
secured by the organization OF the
company"

600 tons, approximately 1000 car

per yard, S3 feet long and capable of
carrying tremendous wheel loads.
A number of roads are now fasten-
ing rails to the ties with a screw
spike, which is used largely in France
