10 get Us TO vote for the things
that ne would pass regardless of
the effect apon the people OF
the State Of Kentucky at large.
This letter your have written
Is similar TO others received BY
members that have stood as we
have, coming from Commercial
Clubs, from the towns that are
located in this district of the
members.
The bill passed by the General
Assembly Will more than likely
be referred to the people for their
approval or rejection, as fivesper
cent of the voters can obtain a
referendum ON them and i am
satisfied that the tax payers of
kentucky will approve my votes
on these bills.
| referring again to the road
matter, every member of the Leg
lslature from the extreme western
part of Kentucky, except T. T.
Gardner, of Bardwell, is opposed
TO these bills. 1t would necessari
ly have TO go through the county
represeted by a member of the
legislature that was opposed TO
these bills, and if the Governor
of Kentucky proposes to use
these methods to pass his bills,
\ he is nothing better than a horse
trader, and am surprised that
the Commercial Club of Mayfield
would suggest that | swap my
vote ON matters pending before
General Assembly for the vote
of the Governor on matters pend
ing before him regardless of the
merits of either proposition.
IF you can meet the objection
that | have to these bills and
show me a way to remedy the
defects created in our tax laws
by their enactment, l would bt
glad to support them.
II shall undertake by my vot'
70 do that which is best for then
all and shall endeavor to see thai
the tax burden falls on all ex
actly alike.
Yours respectfully,

DIZZINESS is ANNOYING
As Many Hickman People Know
Too Well.

When the kidneys are weak or
disordering, they fall behind III
filtering the blood of poisons. AS
these poisons attack the nerves,
the result is felt in spells of YER
tigo, just as drunkenness will
make a man dizzy from the pois-
oning of alcohol. Dizziness, head
ache, backache and irregularity
of the kidney secretions are all
signs of weak or disordered kid
|neys and should not be neglect
ed. Use Doan's Kidney Pills, the
home-endorsed kidney remedy.
Read this Hickman resident s
statement:
Mrs. Richard Moss, Washingto-
ST., Hickman, says: "My kidneys
were out of order and my back
ached and panied. The action of
my kidneys was sometimes too
frequent, then again sluggish.
l had black spots before my eyes
and were awfully dizzy some
times. can't just tell how my
back felt. but sometimes 1T
panied so badly, ! screamed. l
used a few boxes of Doan s Kid
ney Pills and was helped right
smart by them. l sure can say a
good word for Doan's Kidney
Pills, for they are one good med

Dr.. Richard c. Cabot, who is head
Of the MassaChus etts General Hospit-
al, has been writing for the American
Magazine, April and May, on the sub

ney."
He says that "a new era has come
in the practice Of medicine, but most
people do not know it yet. We have
begun to emerge from that stage Of
medical work in which the doctor
was a peddler selling goods from
house to house, into the more advanC-
ed and sensible era in which the doc
tor stays at his place of business, like
anyone else who has goods to sell,
and the people who want these goods
come to him. The shop where he has
his goods to sell is generally called
hospital and he has associated with
him there body of men and women
similar to work people, foremen and
managers Of any industrial plant or
dry goods store. He has there some
beginnings o ia satisfactory division
of labor and specialization OF function.
Therefore, he can give the public a
much better article for less money.
1.-THE article refer to Is sound
medical advice and treatment"
This is just what DR.. Pierce has
been doing at the Invalids' Hotel in
Buffalo, New York. DR.. V. N. Pierce
has associated with him DR.. Lee Ii.
Smith, who is vice president and head
surgical director and operator and
there are a dozen other physicians
and specialists, as well as four chem
lists and the poor and the very rich
get the best medical attention. AS
DR.. Cabot has properly said, When
YOU 20 to a Doctors office you may
complain of nothing more abstruse
than a headache or a stomach-ache,
vet for the solution of the problem
represented by your suffering there
may be needed an X-ray examination,
chemical tests such as very few ex'
perts are capable of making, the con-
sultation Of experts in diseases of the
eye, the ear and the throat and the
