WISHED FOR DEATH,
Cured After Doctors Gave Up Hope.

G. w. L. Nesbitt, Marion, KY, sayss
"Kidney disease had made me a chronic
invalid. l couldn't get out of bed for two
weeks at a time and no tongue could de-
scribe my suffering. l often wished that
death might come and end my agony. The
kidney secretions were thick and heavy
and the color of blood. My sight had al
most failed. My limbs were badly swollen
and the doctors said / had dropsy. They
held out little hope for my recovery. I
couldn't raise my arms above my head, in
fact, my side was almost paralyzed. I
had lost all hope, when a relative told me
to try Doan's Kidney Pills. 1 began to
improve from the very first dose. Before
I had finished one box of Doan's Kidney
Pills, 1 was greatly relieved of the pain
and as I continued using them, I was over
joyed to see the dreadful symptoms from
which 1 had suffered so many years, leave
me, one by one. In three months / was

firmly convinced that Doan's Kidney
Pills are the greatest remedy in the world

Taft Recommends That Gov
ernment Lease Roads.
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
Project for Alaska Coal Lands Involves
Expenditure of SIS, 10000 for 73s
Miles of Track Comprising
TWO Systems.

Washington, D. C.-Recommending
government construction of 733
miles of railroads, opening the vast
Bering and Matanuska coal fields Of
Alaska, at a cost of $35 100000, Presi-
dent Taft in special message to
congress, transmitted the report Of
the Alaskan railway commission.
Private operation of the govern
ment's proposed railroads under lease,
the president said he believed was the
proper solution of the difficulties in
Alaska.
Two Independent Roads.
Two independent railway systems
one connecting the Yukon river valley
and the Tanana river, tributary of
the Yukon, with tidewater, and the
other devoted to the development and
needs of the Kuskowim and Susitna
rivers are recommended. Quoting
the commission, the president said:
THE best available route for the
first railway system is that which
leads from Cordova by way of Chit
ina to Fairbanks, and the best avail
able route for the second is that which
leads from Seaward, around Cooks in
let to the Iditarod. The first should
be connected with the Bering coal
field and the second with the Matan-
uska coal field.
Build and Lease Systems.
"The necessary inference from the
entire report" the president contin-
ued, ''is that in the judgment of the
commission it's recommendations can
certainly be carried out only if the
government builds or guarantees the
construction cost of the railroads
recommended. If the government is
to make this guarantee, it should own
the roads, the cost of which it really
pays. This is true whether the gov
ernment itself should operate the
roads or should provide for their op-
Grafton by lease or operating agree
ment.
II am very much opposed to gov
ernment operation, but / believe gov
ernment ownership with private oper-
alton under lease is the proper So
luton"
