SIGNALS OF DISTRESS
Maysyllle People Should Know How to

Disordered kidneys give many sig
nails Of distress.
The secretions may be dark, con-

Passages are sometimes frequent,
scanty, painful.
Backache is often present day and
night.
Headaches and dizzy spells may &C.
cur.

quick help.
Don't delay! Use special kidney
remedy.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys, backache and urinary dis
orders.
Maysville evidence proves their
worth.

Third st., Maysville, says: about four
years ago, suffered from an attack
of kidney trouble. My back was very
weak and lame and the kidney Sc

i had often heard and read about
Doan's Kidney Pills and got box at
Wood & Sons Drug Store. They
helped me and l continued taking them
until entirely cured of kidney trou-

Mr.. Burns is only one of many Mays

Roseland Tells How Much
Damage Is Done to
Pneumatic Tires.

When motor cars were rare, tire
mileage costs made little difference
But now. when men are buying cars
as they would a suit OF clothes or q
pair of Sloes-wLen our annual ear
bill is more than n billion dollars.
and for tires about one-third OF a
bilIion-tire economy is a matter OF
great concern
About 100000 cars are now regis
tered in this country. wearing 16.OOO,-
600 tires. Adding only one mile for
each tire. to the enormous mileage
piled up each day 10y these cars. would
save a handsome fortune for the
motorists Of the country.
II. T. ROseland, branch manager or
the Goodyear Tire and Rubber com
pany- Is commenting on the various
kinds of abuse iunOcently inflicted
upon motor tires. preventing them
from attaining their allotted three
score and ten. declares that much or
this mileage is lost through the fab
ric breaks caused by hitting stones
imbedded in the road.
so many people are now buying
cars, who know comparatively little
about cars or tires that i is not sur
prising that merciless abuse is heaped
upon them" he says. Hardly one
motorist in a hundred appreciates the
terrific strain placed on tires when
travelling at high speed over ordin-
airy roads. Your tires may with
stand a shock equal TO ten tons
weight while running at a speed OF
% miles an hour over country roads
and a little later you have a blowout
while running over a perfectly smooth
street.
