The Expression Oe Many d Kidney
Sufferer in Lumberton
A stubborn backache is cause to
suspect kidney trouble. When the
kidneys are inflammed and swollen,
STOPPING brings sharp twinge in the
small of the back, that almost takes
the breath away. Doan's Kidney
Pills revive sluggish kidneys relieve
aching backs. Here's Lumberton
proof:
G. w. Lennon, lumber dealer, 113
Third ST., Lumberton, says: "When-
ever l have had occasion to take a
kidney medicine, have found Doan's
Kidney Pills to be just the medicine
I needed. Occasionally, my back be-
came lame and stiff and l was some
times bothered by congestion and in
flammation of the kidneys. A few
doses of Doan's Kidney Pills have al
ways corrected this trouble, regulat.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an aw-
full death from lockjaw or blood pois-
on are now told by Cincinnati au-
thority to use a drug called freez-
one, which the moment a few drops
are applied to any corn or callus the
soreness is relieved and soon the en-
tire corn or callus, root and all, lifts
off with the fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it is
! applied, and simply shrivels the corn
or callus without inflaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue OF
skin. A small bottle of freezone will
cost very little at any of the drug
stores, but will positively rid ones

hasn't any freezone he can get it al

DEEP SHOWS DRIVE
BAND Of Elk COWS
NEAR PILOT ROCK
Animals Almost Exhausted and One
That WaRders Inside City Limits is
Easily Cautpred-Came Down From
West Fork of Birch Creek.

Evidently having wandered down
from the mountains because of the
deep SHOWS, a band of seven elk cows
Saturday came down the west fork Of
Hirch creek almost to Pilot Rock, ac-
cording to word brought in Saturday
might by NJ. D. Orange, One of the
animals did stray into Pilot Rock and
was so exhausted that it was easily
captured
The animals were first seen in the
morning at the Herbert Boylen place
about seven miles south Of Pilot Rock.
During the afternoon they were seen
at Robert Manning's place and 1t is
believed they scattered there. Toward
evening one Of the COWS walked up to
the H. G. Casteel place at the edge OF
Pilot Rock. 1t was completed ex'
hausted and offered no resistance to
being made a captive. 1t is believed
that it had been chased by a dog.
Effort was made Saturday evening
by sportsmen of Pilot Rock to get in
to communication with Deputy Game
Warden George Tonkin as the sports
men believe some measures should be
taken to protect the elk from coyotes
and dogs as all seemed to be ex'
hausted.

TTJNIJLTY DENIES LEAK KNOWLEDGE.
LAWSON REFUSES TO NAME SOURCE

WASHINGTON. Jan. S.-secretary
Tumulty was the first witness before
the house rules committee lnvestiga-
ton OF the alleged Wall street leak.
He denied all knowledge Of the leak
and denied giving Information to Ba'
ruch. He declared he did not know
about Presient Wilson'S peace note
until after the advance copies were
given the newspapermen. He said
Il am still awaiting Representative
Woods apology for imphcating me-
He read a statement from Wilson
saying: Il wish in justice to Tumulty
to say he stated the exact fact. He
had no knowledge Of the note what
ever until II was given for publica-
tion."
Representative Chlpperfield asked
Tumulty whether he visited the local
stock broker. He replied that he took
Ambassador Gerard to w. B. Htbb's
brokerage offices. He said Gerard
wanted to purchase bonds.
Chipperfield asked Lansing wheth-
er his two interpretations Of the note
the day following its release were
on his own initiative Lansing re-
piled. Il think that's beyond the
scope of the investigation" The dem.
ocratic members fastened to Lam
sings assistance and ruled that he
needn't answer.
Lawson stepped smlingly to the
witness chair. He beamed on every
rules committee member smiled at
the newspapermen and complacently
remarked: Il have reason to believe
I'll be stopped" when asked his oc-
cupation, he paused and then replied:
81 am a farmer" The committee
laughed.
Lawson explained that his lawyer
said the committee had no right to
demand answers or the production Of
papers. He added he had not intended
to insist on that right He said: Il
don't understand that this committee
is sitting for the purpose Of hauling
the guilty persons into the light and
