Mrs A. Elmer, Water St., Batavia,

almost constantly from kidney trouble.
We became alarmed. At times for
several days he could hardly get around
the house. His back was so lame and
stiff that he could hardly bend to tie
his shoes and when he sat down, he
couldn't get up. He couldn't rest well
at night and had to get up every little
while, owing to kidney weakness. The
kidney secretions were scanty and dis
ordered. He had but little ambition
and he couldn't eat. When he got up
In the morning he felt tired and his
head ached badly. He doctored for
some time, but got no better and was
about discouraged when friend told
him to try Doan's Kidney Pills. We
got box for him and in few days
after using them, he felt much better.
Five boxes made him as well as ever
and he as able to look after his work
He can now rest we'll and gets up in
the morning feeling fine. We think

those who need a kidney remedy"

THE SOURCE OF MEAT TRUST.
AAIASHINGTON opinion is reported
wv as looking upon the stockyards

AAIASHINGTON opinion is reported
wv as looking upon the stockyards
decision just made by the su-
preme court as sweeping in its char
acter and probable effect. BE this as
it may, that decision has at any rate
touched upon the raw with reference
to the powers Of trusts. 1t confirms
the authority of the Interstate Com
merce Commission to prohibit favors
by stockyard corporations to meat
packers, which is the point from which
the meat trust has drawn its vitality.
To control stockyards is to control
the prices OF animals coming in and
the prices of meat going out. Abolish
every other cause for abnormal prices
in respect Of the meat supply, and
control Of the stockyards will still
be effective. Perhaps regulation by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
may not, be the best way of paralyz-
ing this vital organ of the beef trust,
but It is at all events q hitting out in
the right direction.
