INCREASING MISERY
Some Maysyille Kidney Sufferers Get
Little Rest or Comfort.

There is little sleep, little rest, lit
tie peace for many sufferer from
kidney trouble. Life is one continual
round of pain. You can't rest at night
when there's kidney backache. You
suffer twinges and "stabs" Of pain, an

and nervousness. You can't be COM
Portable at work with darting pains
and binding dizzy spells. Neglect
these ailments and serious troubles
may follow. Begin Dusing Doans Kid
ney Pills at the first sign Of disorder.
Thousands have testified to their
merit.
Proof in Maysville testimony.
John J. Bramel, bookkeeper, Wal
nut Street, says: "Doan's Kidney
Pills have been of great bene-
fit to me and in fact, attribute four
teen years Of my life to them. II was
in 1902 that l was suffering q great
deal. After long use Of Doan's Kidney
Pills, l became we'll and had no bad
effects for many years. Recently
however, l noticed my kidneys were
not acting right and my system was
generally weak. l knew 1t was a re-
turn Of the trouble and l didn't lose
any time in getting a box OF Doan's
Kidney Pills at Chanslor's Drug Store.
They again gave me the same good re-
suits and consider them wonderful
medicine"
Mr.. Bramel is only one Of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. Ifyour
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney

VARIETY IN MEAT

Meat must be conserved. Use less !;
waste none. Use all of the smaller
organs, whether beef, pork, or ship
ping. Heart, livers, kidneys, brains,
tripe, sweetbreads, and all made"
meats, especially sausage, scrapple,
head-cheese, and picked feet, are far
better used at home than allowed to
waste because they can not be easily
shipped" writes Herbert Hoover,
Food Administrator, in Good House
keeping. To suggest ways to carry
out his instructions, the magazine
gives the following recipes:
Tripe Oysters
l pound fresh tripe.

sprinkle with salt and pepper, and
cut it in oblongs the size of an oyster,
Dip these in fine crumbs, then in beat
en- egg to which the water has been
added, then in crumbs again. Fry in
very hot fat until brown. Serve with
border of cold slaw, or slices or
points of lemon with finely chopped
parsley sprinkled over them.

URGE TR|UMPHAL
ARCH IN CAPITAL
By Briggs

An arch OF triumph, concentrating
liberty and world democracy. erected
across Pennsylvania avenue In front
of the White House and dedicated to
American heroes, Is being urged by
leading citizens OF Washington.
In discussing the project today, Col.
Robert N. Harper said:
"a committee of ten will be ap-
pointed by the Chamber of Commerce
to petition Congress for funds to erect
a fitting tribute or memorial to Amer
ica's fallen heroes and to the Ameri-
can ideal of government.
THE present plan Is to erect an
edifice to cost from 81 500 600 to
81. 000, 000-not in some secluded park,
but in the most prominent place in
the Capital, where every one may see
pass and have their minds refreshed
with the thoughts of those who gave
their lives for the freedom OF the
world.
I'VE dofr our hats to these noble
lads, but let us start this movement
at once in order that those who have
returned may see before they go to
their reward, some tangible evidence
of our appreciation
Construction OF the arch should be
OF granite or marble and the design
might well be left to the First Art
The plan has been laid before a
of civic bodies, and Is receiv-
ing consideration. 1t Is the belief OF
the present committee that some
speedy legislation can be had.
