ARE YOUR KIDNEYS SICK9
Many Maysville People Have Kept
Well BY Keeping Their Kidneys
Well.

The first symptom of kidney trou.
BILE may be only a slight pain in the
blck, a feeling of stiffness or soreness
in the loins, or some annoying irregu-
larity of the urinary passages. Urine
IS often discolored and perhaps sedi-
,hent gathers upon standing. Next
lay come a dull, throbbing bachache,
sharp knlfe-like pains, headaches, dir
illness and in many cases, lameness
when arising In the morning. No one
can afford to delay until these trou-
bles become serious. Begin using
Doan's Kidney Pills, the tried and
tested kidney remedy that has won the
praise of thousands. Maysville read
ers should find convincing proof OF
merit in the following statement. It's
from resident of this locality.
A. Sorries, locksmith. Aberdeen. o.
says: "The action of my kidneys was
irregular and the kidney secretions
contained sediment. l had backache
and when STOPPING, it was hard for me
to straighten up. Colds always set
tied on my kidneys. used Doan's Kid
ney Pills and they stopped the trouble
and my kidneys became strong"

simply ask for a kidney remedy-get

mitted suicide at New Orleans Sat-

wealthy. About eight months ago
he purchased the Florida Parishes
and made very extensive improve
ments in the plant. For several
weeks he had been receiving medi'
cal treatment at New Orleans and
illness is supposed to be the cause
of his act. He left no note giving

cietv for the Prevention of Cruelty

the good work so as to include the
entire parish. instead of the city of
Bogalusa, was an idea which met
with unanimous approval. The re.
cent work of the Mothers Honor
Commission and the Juvenile Court
demonstrated that the officials have
more work outside of Bogalusa than
in the city proper. The dues of the
Society will be So per annum for
men, ST for ladies and Is cents for
children, and it is expected that the
membership will reach several
thousand within the next few
months. Committees will be formed
to solicit members in each section
of Bogalusa. A meeting of the
board of directors will be held in
the next few days to decide upon
definite committee appointments.
The officers of the Society are E.

Governor J. Y. Sanders spent
Sunday with home folks and while
here was given a warm welcome
and assurances that Washington
Parish will give him the largest
majority in the district at the pri'
mary next September. The election
of Sanders is as certain as election
dav comes and it is just a question
of his majority. The wise politicians
who have studied the situation say
that Governor Sanders will be elect
ed by no less than $500 majority
while the average voter can see
nothing less than 5000. More inter
est is now being centered in which
parish will give him the largest
majority. East Baton Rouge Parish
claims that they will give the Gov
ernor at least 1000 majority, and
St. Tammany say they will give
him not less than 900. Washington
Parish, with even a smaller vote
should give their home candidate
the largest majority in the entire
district and it is safe to predict now
that he will get a larger majority
in Washington than in St. Tamany
