PLAIN QUESTIONS TO
PULLMAN PEOPLE
Every Pullman Reader Will Admit
the SOundness of the Logic

Would Pullman people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills as they 10 if the
medicine were not reliable? WoulG
they confirm their statements after
years have elapsed if their expert
ences did not show the remedy to he
deserving of it? Statements like the
following must carry conviction to
the mind of every reader:
Mrs. R. A. Emerson, 1911 Star
Route ST., Pullman, says: Il suf-
fered a great deal from dull pain
across the small of my back. l felt
tired all the time and had but little
ambition. Ny kidneys acted irregu-
larly and caused me much annoy
ance. Doan's Kidney Pills proved
very beneficial" Statement given

PARIS. Feb. 22. - Present condi- tions Of life have not reduced the girth of the average Parisian, but they have begun to work susceptible tempers and are changing the physi- ognomy of the central markets. Cooks who are boycotting the merchants of their quarter by refusing to buy at the central markets, numbered hun dreds a few months ago, and now number thousands. They made the cars of the subway lines leading to the central markets look like green grocers' delivery wagons in the early hours, until out of difference to pas sengers who objected to the odor of lumburger cheese, garlic and other foodstuffs in their raw state, the sub way company provided special cars for them.

Armed ships will venture forth,

The sinking convinced authorities
that they have nothing to hope for
In the way Of modified procedure on

The algonquin sailed from New

ship Rochester started. Her arrival
abroad had never been reported.
The state department had no Of
