HEALTHFUL WORDS
From an Alexandria Citizen.

From an Alexandria Citizen.
Is YOUR back lame and painful!
Does it ache especially after exer-
ton?
Is there a soreness in the kidney
region?
These symptoms suggest weak kid
neys.
If so there is danger in delay.
Weak kidneys get fast weaker.
Give your trouble prompt attention.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.
Your neighbors use and recommend
them.
Read this Alexandria testimony.
Mrs. Milton Moore, 123 Duke ST.,
says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are a
household medicine for kidney trouble
in our family. I have taken them on
several occasions for backache and
other kidney disorders with very bene-
fetal results. I am quite sure that
Doan's Kidney Pills will help anybody
who gives them good trial. / know
they are medicine Of merit"

ing Supplies Until They Spoil In
Warehouses.

Destruction in Richmond of ap-
proximately 10000 pounds of impure
meats or all sorts during the past few
weeks has caused visible anxiety
among local state and federal health
authorities. represe natives of the
United States food administration.
bureau of animal industry, depart
ment OF agriculture. and officials OF
cold storage plants.
However. his uneasiness over the
situation has not permitted DR.. Roy
X Flanagan, chief health officer, to
forget the nee essity for taking prompt
action to prevent recurrence OF the
trouble To that end DR., Flanagan
the past week called a conference of
Interested authorities and this is ex-
peeted to be followed in several days
BY the PRONUNCIATION of new health
rules and regulations which Will
make similar condition in the future
impossible.
The conference was held at the of
fices of the health department and
was attended by DR.. Flanagan. j.

Rules Are Submitted.
DR. Flanagan submitted as a basis
for discussion. tentative rules which.
he said. the 4 administrative board
would be asked to adopt in an effort
to meet and control the situation in
this city which is viewed with alarm,
especially by food conservationists.
Numerous changes and suggestions in
the original draft were made, and as
result OF the conference DR.. Elan
nagan is now engaged in whipping
the proposed regulations into shape.
AS soon IS this has been plished
there will be a second conference to
formally and finally pass on the
changes They will be submitted to
the administrative board by DIR. Elan
nagan with the recommendation that
they at once be promulgated as laws
designed not only for the protection
of foodstuffs. especially meats. but
TO assist In preventing the latter
from reaching such a state of decom-
position so as to necessitate destruc-
ton and tho consequent loss OF food
which the government is making
every effort to conserve to the last
ounce.
The federal food authorities have
full and ample power to control the
operation OF meat-packing houses and
cold storage plants. This power was
granted by act of congress to the
president and rigid rules have been
promulgated by him. These being
comparatively new. are not generally
known. DIR. Flannagans idea is sim
