But Not So Bad n You Know
How to Reach the Cause

Nothing more discourging than
a constant backache. Lame when
you awaken, pains pierce you
when you bend or lift. It's hard
to work or to rest. Backache
often indicates bad kidneys.
Barbourville people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills. Read this
case:
Geo. G.. Morris, farmer, Bar
bourville, says: IL gladly recon-
mend Deans Kidney Pills. My
kidneys were out of order and
my back ached and panied awful
ly. | could hardly do any stoop-
ing or lifting and my kidneys
acted irregularly, at times being
too frequent and then sluggish.
Doan's Kidney Pills soon rid me
of the backaches and put my kid
neys in good order. -

Basket Ball

On Thursday night of this week
the Y. NJ. G. A. Basket Ball team
of this city defeated the Lcnoir
City, Tennessee, team by a score
Of AZ to Il. The Lenoir team put
up a game fight in the first half
but the locals ran away with
them in the second. This was
the first game for the locals this
season and they played a good
game. The game was well at
tended with an enthusiastic crowd
of loyal supporters of the home
team. The line up was as fol-
lows:
B'viIle. Lenoir
Lambdin Forward, c. Ward
Mitchell Forward Duff
Sims Center Alexander
Jones Guard Sprakee
Mcdonald Guard d. Ward
r. Faulkner Guard
Jarvis Referee.
All the members of the team
played good game without eX-
ception, but the features of the
game was the playing of Lamb
din and Jones at forward and
Sims at center. Mcdonald and
Faulkner and Jones's guarding
was sufficient as the score shows
Mcdonald held his forward to no
goal, Jones held his forward to
two field goals, Faulkner took
Jones's place at guard in the sec
ond half and held his forward to
a single goal, Jones was put in
as forward in Mitchell's place in
the second half. Mitchell played
a good game as long as he lasted
but owing to the lack of sufficient
practice Joe was unable to hold
out. The Barbourville Y.M.C.A.
has a fine showing for the best
team in this section of the state
and we believe they will be able
to hold their own with anything
in the state.

WOMEN TO HAVE VOTE,
PREMIER ASQU|TH SAYS
Unwilling, However, to Undertake
Franchise Reform During Con-
tinuance Of War.

LONDON, August 1.-THE decision Of
the cabinet that the undertaking Of new
franchise and registration reforms in the
midst Of great war was too complex and
controversial a problem. was announced
by Premier Asquith in the house of COM
mons yesterday.
At time. said the premier. when the
war had reached happy. promising
stage. and when It more than ever re-
quired the absolute concentration Of the
government, 1t was impossible to con-
slider the large questions involved in a re-
vision Of the franchise.
Must Include Women.
He further implied that any new bills
for franchise reforms in the future must
of necessity include women.
After brief criticism by Sir Edward
Carson, who urged that every combatant.
irrespective Of age, was entitled to vote
and contended there was no reason why
the women's claims should stand in the
way Of giving all comba tants a vote. the
house passed the first reading Of the bill
extending the life Of the present parlia-
ment.

REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION
VIEWED WITH SUSPICION
Public Utilities Board Averse to Bill
in Interest of Washington
Virginia R. r.

Senator Martins bill to remove the
Washington-v Virginia Railway Com
pany from the Jurisdiction of the public
utilities commission received an ad-
verse report from the commission to-
day. in which that body declares that
it looks with especial suspicion" on
the attempt of the company to exempt
itself from the operation Of the pub
lie utilities law.
The company operates an electric line
from 18th street and Pennsylvania ave-
of the capital and across the Highway
bridge into Virginia At the time of
the creation of the commission it was
controlled by the Washington Utili-
ties Company, a foreign corporation.
According to the report of the commits
sion. the apbitious plans of the Wash
inston Utilities Company to effect large
merger schemes involving local pub
lie service corporations was blocked by
the passage March 4, 1913, of the pub
lie utilities act and the anti-merger
act.
Motives Suggested.
The commission. in its report to Con-
gress today, expresses the fear that
other means will be sought for carry
ing out the plans of the Washington
Utilities Company, and that one method
would be legislation exempting from
the law or certain provisions thereof
certain corporations to have been in
cluded in the merger negotiations.
In other words" says the report 'it
is quite possible that this legislation
may furnish the very channel through
which promoters will be able to gain
entrance into the public utility affairs
of the District OF Columbia. The COM
mission believes that existing Iegisla-
ton has placed in its hands the power
to control the upbuilding of local util-
titles and protect them against un-
healthy mergers.
