Many Colfax People Have Kept Well
by Keeping Their Kidneys Well.
The first symptom of kidney trouble
may be only slight pain in the back,
a feeling of stiffness or soreness in the
loins. or some annoying irregularity of
the urinary passages. Urine is often
discolored and perhaps sediment gathers
upon standing. Next may come a dull
throbbing backache, sharp, knife-like
pains, headaches, dizziness AMI in many
cases, lameness when arising in the
morning. No one can afford to delay
until these troubles become serious.
Begin using Doan's Kidney Pills, the
tried and tested kidney remedy that
has won the praise of thousands. Col
fax readers should find convincing
proof of merit in the following state
ment. Its from resident of this To-

School Tax Elections Ordered.

The Grant parish school board
met last Saturday and ordered
elections in practically all Of the
school districts of the parish to
vote special taxes for general
educational purposes. A parish
wide tax was discussed at length
in order to avoid the expense of
voting district taxes, but owing
to opposition developing from
unexpected sources it was deem
ed advisable to vote on the propo-
sition by districts. Acting on
the requests of the tax payers of
the various school districts the
board grouped several adjoining
districts into one district and
called the elections as follows:
All of ward two and that part of
district six located in ward three;
districts s, 10 and 80; districts
q, % and 81; districts 16 and II
(ward five); districts IL and 26.
All of the above districts will
vote on the question of levying a
five mills tax for five years for
general educational purposes.
District 5 will vote on the propo-
sition to levy a tax of five mills
for building and equipping school
houses in the district. In Dry
Prong district II, two elections
were ordered, one to vote bonds
amounting to $4,000 for the
erection of a school house at Dry
Prong, and one for ten mills
maintenance tax for two years.

Ex-Sheriff Perkins Causes Consterna.
tion in Washington.
The following item is taken
from the news sent out from
Washington D. c. last week:
SENDS INTERNAL MACHINE.
When A. B. Perkins, the re-
firing sheriff of Grant parish sent
to Representative Aswel1 a model
of a patent he had no idea of the
CONSERVATION it was to cause.
The model was of a lumber load
ing machine. DR.. Aswell was to
deliver it to the commissioner of
patents. The model came by
parcel post and happened to be
delivered at DR.. Aswell's office
when several callers were pres
ent.
The young woman who pre-
sided over the typewriter in Rep
resentative Aswell's Office start
ed to open the package and pro-
ceeded far enough to discover a
peculiar mechanism inside. Rath-
er apprehensively, she called at
tention to the package. Some
one suggested that it might be
an internal machine. No one of
the visitors cared to take any
chances and all rushed out of the
Office. After having been allow
ed to soak for some time in a
bucket of water, the suspicious
mechanism was Invested of its
wrappings and its innocent ma
ture established.
