For months The Argus readers have
seen the constant expression OF
praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and

House pharmacy and have been con-
yinced of their merits"

saw the evidence of the States manufacturing

He is too late; the amendments to which he

question at issue now is to the right of city
treasurers and commissioners to succeed them
selves. Two years ago the people voted upon
four amendments; the right of city treasurers,
Of city commissioners, of county treasurers and
Of county commissioners to succeed themselves
when elected by the people. The first two
amendments were defeated and the last two
adopted. This year the two amendments de-
feated in 1910 come up for the verdict of the
