Mrs. ] NJ. weimar. 924 N.
Fourth St, Wahpeton. N. OAK,
says: "ln 1908 I begen the use
of Doan's Kidney PILE, pro-
cured at Keen's Drug Store and
they did such good work that I
am pleased to recommend them.
There was a dull, grinding pain
in the small of my back and it
often extended Tito my should
ers. My back was very weak
and whenever l moved quickly
or attempted to stoop, I vas
seized by agonizing pains
throughout my body. l also
had headaches and attacks OF
dizzine 9. When I was in that
condition, Doan's Kidney Pills
were recommended to me and
I began taking them. 1t was
not long before they corrected
all symptoms of my trouble"

WHAT PROGRESSIVE LEADERSHIP
MEANS.

conscientious Progressives in West
Virginia may have their eyes opened
by the performances OF some Of their
would-be leaders. Although Colonel
Roosevelt has formally his
departure from the Republican party
and attempts to form a new party dis
tinctly ipimical TO the national Re-
publican organization. the Progressive
d in West Virginia have refused
TO follow Col. Roosevelt.
why?
because In short. the Progressive
leaders in West Virginia think that
they viii have more OF the leaves ann
hshes for themselves by keeping one
loot in the Republican party. while
trying 10 fight 1t from the outside.
They don't see IN future Jobs in the
Progressive movement. but they do
think that there Is a chance to force
themselves into Jobs by using the Pro
gressive vote as a club. or merely as
a trading institution.
