Readers of the Index have been
told again and again of the merits of
that reliable, time-proved kidney
remedy-Doan's Kidney Pills. The
experiences told are not those of I'M
known persons, living far away. The
cases are Emmett cases, told by En-
NETT people.
Mrs. Roy Pass, Emmett, Idaho,
says: 81 had dull, nagging backache
and pains through the small of my
back l felt tired, was languid and
in the morning had little strength
or ambition. Sometimes l couldn't
do my work My kidneys were ir-
regular in action and the secretions
were unnatural. l heard so much
about Doan's Kidney Pills that | fl

aches and pains in my back and that

HE BIT DIAMOND OUT OF RING.
Police of Baltimore Are Looking For
Iron Jawed Thief.

The police Of Baltimore are looking
for a thief who weighs about 225
pounds and has an iron jaw. This Is
the only description given by the men
who saw him. but who were so aston
ished by his feat that he got away be-
fore they had good look at him
While in a saloon with several friends
recently Louis Wolf put his hand on
the bar. On the third finger of his
right hand sparkled half carat dia-
mond in a gold setting. The iron jawed
man stood at one end of the bar and
edged closer and closer to Wolf. Sud
denly he reached forth both hands
seized Wolf by the left arm and at
the same time bent over and grasped
the ring with his teeth.
Wolf yelled, and the stranger. after
giving him shove that sent him reel
ing half across the room, darted out Of
the door. There was a slight scar on
VOLTS third finger, but there was
something missing-the diamond had
been bitten clear of its setting.

Wilton Lackaye, the actor. once made
a dramatizatiOn of LES Miserables.
He had spent much time on his work.
The dramatization of the Hugo master
piece had been one of the dreams Of
his early youth. Truly, the completed
drama was TO the actor as a child he
dearly loved. But when Mr. Lackaye
tried to interest theatrical capital in
the production he found dearth of en-
thusiasm. Every one knew that Lack
aye had dramatized Les Miserables,"
and il was one of the live topics of
Broadway. Oscar Hammerstein met
Lackaye in this particular period, and
his first question was:
wilton, have you got manager to
produce Les Miserables|
And to this Lackaye sarcastically re-
piled:
"A manager to produce it! l haven't
found a manager that can pronounce
it."-Kansas City Star.

Swords are subjected to very severe
