A New Back For an Old One-HoW
Resident Made Bad Back

The back aches at times with a
dull indescribable feeling, making
you weary and restless; piercing
pains shoot across the region of the
kidneys. and again the loins are so
lame that to stoop is agony. No use
to rub or apply plaster to the back
if the kidneys are weak. You can
not reach the cause. Follow the
example of this Mankato citizen.
Mrs. o. NJ. Ward, 1873 Owatonna
st, Mankato, Mimi, says: 81 have
unlimited faith in Doan's Kidney
Pills and have never heard of
their failing to give entire satisfac-
ton. Fifteen years ago, when living
in st. Paul, I suffered from pains in
my back. / was subject to distress

weak and disordered At times, |

COCA COLA HABIT, A GHOST.

We have all heard of ghosts, but none
of us have ever seen one, It's the same
way with coca cola "hends," you can
hear about them but you might search
for them until doom's day and you
would never find one. Physicians who
have treated hundreds OF thousands of
drug habit cascc, including opium, NOR.
phine. cocaine, alcohol, etc, say that
they have never seen case where the
use OF CoCa-Cola has so fastened itself
upon the individual ms to constitute a
habit In the true sense OF the word Al
though millions of glasses of Coca.Cola
are drunk every year, no COca.Cola
ilends have ever made themselves Wis
ible at the doors of the sanitariums for
the treatment of drug habits.
The Coca-Cola habit Is analogous to
the beefstCak habit and to the straw
berry habit and the ice cream habit
People drink Coca-Cola first because
they see II advertised and thereafter
because II tastes good and rofreshes
their minds and bodies. They drink It
when they can get 1t and contentcdly
do without it when they cant get It..
II you had ever witnessed the rawlings
of n real drug iiend when deprived of
his drug, If you had ever observed the
agony he suffers, you would never
again be so unfair as to mention Coca
Cola in the same breath with the
"habit.forming" drugs.-Adv.

VIII Prosecute Alleged Ice Trust.

DenVer.-State Labor Commissioner
Edwin V. Brake declares that he has
discovered an ice trust in Colorado and
that he will ask that steps be taken
to prosecute it. Brake asserts that
evidence of the existence of the trust
was found during the strike of team
sters and building trades now on at
Pueblo.
THE strikers wanted to supply ice
during the strike to such as did not
want to get it from nOnunion drivers"
said Brake. They found it impossible
to buy the ice in Colorado, although
they had the money in the bank to
pay for it on delivery. one carload
was shipped from Denver. but after
that the supply was cut off. If that
is not clear evidence of the existence

Walter johnson of Washington.

walter Johnson is far and away a
better pitcher than Joe Wood, or any
other pitcher In the American league"
declared Larry Lajoie, than whom
there could scarcely be a better judge
of pitching johnson simply has SO
much stuff and speed that if he turn
ed loose his hardest throw with his
stuff on, no catcher could get down
in time to receive the ball
Every ball he throws has stuff on
It. Some of the hops his fast ones
take are bigger curves than the big
gest the average pitcher has. I've
seen him throw balls up to the plate
that didn't look larger. than a pin
head. Wood is a good pitcher, all
right, but he is simply not in John
sons class, nor is anybody else.
Wood broke into the league from
Kansas City against us in 1908, in Bos-
ton. There was little house in cen
ten field, and we had about seven
men who were hitting 800.
Wow! What reception he got.
The Arvada enterprise. (Arvada, Colo.) 1908-1970, 1913-08-07

First we'd knock n brick out OF the
chimney, then a few shingles off the
roof, then we'd batter a window pane.
Nobody ever did anything like that
to Johnson, and never will. When a
fellow is coaching off first when he's
pitching, it's next to impossible to
see his fast one. If he didn't have
good control, he would kill so many
batters he would be barred from the
league. He'd wreck every club he
pitched against. There's next to no
chance to duck or back away from his
delivery.
Almost any time you get a hit
off Johnson don't figure that you're
smart. Just figure it that you're
lucky; lucky that you happen to make
that blind swing in the spot where the
ball came. If all the pitchers in the
league were like Johnson the pitch
ers box would hove to be placed at
second base so one club could get
run without the game going into ex-
ira innings"

SIX HAVE REQUIRED NUMBER OF
NAMES-ONE SHORT,
Secretary Pearce Rejects Alamosa
County Bill eferendum-uti-
tiles Measure to Be Sub
mitted.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver Secretary of State Pearcc
announced that the check of the
names on the referendum petition filed
on bills passed by the last Legislature
had been completed.
The petition for referendum vote
on the bill creating Alamosa county,
out OF portions of Conejos and Costello
counties, was rejected on the ground
mat it was G29 names short of the
required number. The other six ref.
ercndum petitions were found to have
enough signatures.
They are: \ petition referring tho
entire public utility bill; petition re
ferrmg sections 80, SO and 81 of the
public utility bill; n petition referring
sections sc and 81 of the public util-
ity bill, a petition referring the com
mission merchants bill; petition re
terring the bill forbidding privately
paid deputy shcritts, and petition re-
terring the bill changing the law on
assumption of risks.
The effect of the rejection of this
petition will be that the Alamosa
county law is now effective and the
county, for which no officers have
been appointed, has a legal existence.
The six referendum petitions which
were legally filed ana one initiated
bill, declaring newspapers to be public
utilities, are all now in sight for u vote
at the next state election.
