AFFECT
 THE KIDNEYS
Many Alaska People Have Found
 This to be True.

Are you wretched in bad wealth CT?
 Does every cold settle on your kidneys?
 Does your back ache and become weak?
 Are urinary passages irregular and distressing?
 These symptoms are cause to suspect kidney weakness.
 Weakened kidneys need quick help.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are especial- ly prepared for weakened kidneys
 Grateful people reccomend them.
 William c. Russell, retired farm CT. 966 Valencia St., San Francisco, Cal, says: Many colds and days of long hours and StrainIng work causal my kidneys to give me a lot of trouble. Pains seemed to settle in the small of my back and the suffering I endured was terrible. Every bit of strength left me and my kidneys acted too often, annoy in- n. at night. Deans Kidney Pill acted as a tonic to my kidneys and prOv4a of great benefit"

a total membership of 175,000. are now
taking a secret vote on proposition to

increases in wages amounting to more
than s1oO. 100000 yearly. These demands
mean increases in pay averaging AZ per
cent. The official brotherhood circular
made public yesterday declares that 'fn
case the proposition is turned down by
the management" strike vote will be
taken.
The fact that the engineers brother
hood has not Joined the movement is
causing considerable speculation in
railroad circles here. One report, which
has not been confirmed. indicates that
organization, has refused to participate
