A New Back for an Old One-How a
Madison Resident Made a Bad
Back Strong.

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 a plaster to the back
if the kidneys are weak. You can
lot reac hthe cause. Following the
example of this Madison citizen:

says: while | have had no kidney

They have been used by one of my

pills were used | have heard no

REGRETS INABILITY TO ACT

Strength
REGRETS INABILITY TO ACT

Washington, May 6.--The president
has received Richard Olneys letter in
which the former secretary of state
declined the appointment as governor
of the federal reserve board.
Olney's letter, dated Boston, May T.
Is as follows:
my Dear Mr. President: feel
honored beyond words by your letter
of the thirtieth ultimo-by the i'm
portant offer and by the friendly ex-
pressions of confidence which accom-
pany the offer.
But the act Of congress. which very
properly requires each member of the
federal reserve board to give his en-
tire time to his work. is an insuperable
obstacle to my acceptance OF the Of
fer. In the course of long life,
have on various instances assumed
duties and undertaken trusts which
from their personal nature could not he
delegated to others.
IF the conclusion l have come to
is a disappointment to you. I greatly
regret it. But you can hardly be more
sorry than / am that l am able to do
so little in aid of an administration
whose first year of achievement makes
il one of the most notable the country
has ever known.
Trusting you will not suffer your
health and strength to be impaired by
the strain of the unusual difficulties
now attending the duties Of your cf-
'N0' ~ Richard Olney."
