BACKACHE is DISCOURAGINC
But Not So Bad If You Know How to
 Reach the Cause. |

Nothing more disoouraging than a constant backaohe. Lame when you awaken, pains pierce you when you bend or lift It's hard to work ol to rest. Backaohe often indicates bad kidneys and calls for prompt treatment. The best recommended remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills! Profit by this nearby residents ex. perience:
 Mrs. Fred l.. Moores, F. O. Box 02, Somersville, Conn.,, says: . About year ago dull pain settled in my back and made me miserable. I had dizzy spells frequently. Doan's Kidney Pills were recommended to me by friends and began using them: I soon felt greatly relieved and three boxes removed all signs of plan and the dizzy spells left, I always keep Doan's Kidney Pills, on hand and if I feel the least symptom of kidney complaint coming on, few doses ot Doan's correct the trouble.

IS MEN WILL PLEAD IN
court ON FRIDAY

OF course there may be some foun-
dalton for the many superstitions
about the number "13" and about Fri
day--but thirteen men who stand
charged with various offenses against
the law are willing TO take chances
on next Friday and plead guilty, in
Common Pleas Court to the charges
which the State has preferred against
them
So on next Friday thirteen men will
plead guilty in Common Pleas Court to
various and sundry infractionI against
the peace and dignity of the State.
Maybe they expect that because there
are just thirteen of them and that
next Friday is plead guilty" day that
they will stand a better chance Of es-
Gaping severe punishment than If they
risked a trilf in Court before a jury
of their peers. Judge Herbert l..
Rice will probably take the pleas OF
each Of the thirteen men.

CRUSHED TO DEATH
CLIECINC To Train

George W. Coleman, a travelling sales
man, Of Scranton, Pa, was instantly
killed yesterday in a peculiar accident.
Coleman was in a hurry TO get TO
this city TO keep business engage
ment. He ran for and barely caught a
train that was pulling out of West
Philadelphia station of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. The hand rail of the train he
caught was on full vestibule car, and
Coleman found that he couldn't get in
side. The train was moving so rapidly
that he couldn't jump to the ground, and
he was forced 10 cling TO the hand rail
until he was swept of as the train en-
tered a tunnel a short distance above
the station. His body was removed 10
the University Hospital, and from there
70 the morgue.

BEER BREWING IN BAD WAY.
Future of German Industry Is Viewed
with Gravest Apprehension.

| Amsterdam, Dec. l2.-The business OF
| brewing beer. which ranks second in i'm
portance among German industries, is in
bad way, and according TO the Berliner
Tageblatt. so drastic have become the
restrictive measures OF the authorit jes
in the matter of labor and material that
the future is looked forward to with the
gravest apprehension.
The aggregate capital invested in the
Germap brewery trade amounts to three
billion marks distributed over 1900
breweries The latter control wholly or
partly, $4,000 retail businesses, employ
ing some 100000 persons.
Concentration of labor and saving of
fuel is the line which the authorities
have adopted with ever increasing Sc
verify; needless severity, so the brewers
say. The fact that the coal supply has
been cut down by one half, solved in n
measure the concentration problems, be-
cause it has automatically brought num-
erous small breweries TO stand still.
Among the north German beer pro-
ducers, bitter feeling exists against the
Baysrian brewers. The former complain
that the Bavarians have been. and are
being, unduly favored in the matter of
barley and malt. Rumors are
current that il has been found necessary
to plaeate the people of Bavaria. who
have suffered cruel losses in men during
the war Meanwhile. Bavaria remains |
the paradise of beer drinkers from the |
Prussian point of view, although the 1
quality of the beverage is such that the /
popular verdict is that it is wet and l
that's about all.
