BACKACHE IS A WARNING
Maysyllle People Should Not Neglect
Their Kidneys.

Backache is often natures most fire.
Quent signal of weakened kidneys. To
cure the pains and aches, to remove
the lameness when 1t arises from
weakened kidneys, you must reach
the cause.-the kidneys. If you have
pain through the small of your back,
urinary disorders, headaches, dizzy
spells, or are nervous and depressed,
start treating the kidneys with a test
ed kidney remedy.
Doan's Kidney Pills have been
proved good and are especially for
weak kidneys. Doans have been used
in kidney trouble for over 80 years.
Read Maysville testimony.
Mrs. e. Sphar, e. Second and Wal

through the small of my back. When

box or so of Doan's Kidney Pills

Store. They have always kuickly re-

MORE NEEDED
TO MAKE PLAN
WORK WELL
Garbage Collection and Disposal Plan
Suggested Should Have Hearty
Support and Cooperation of
All Our Residents.

Some time ago a plan for the sys-
tematic collection and disposal of
garbage for Maysville was suggested
and the plan seemed to be a very
workable one and a solution to a
problem which had faced the people
of Maysville for some years and seem
ed to have no solution except through
the expenditure of a large sum of
money in providing a costly system.
This plan was that a local man
would undertake to collect the gar
bage from the homes in Maysville at
least twice each week for a nominal
charge, This charge was fixed at
twenty-five cents a month and COM
mittee of business men anxious to get
the city cleaned up and to get this
problem of garbage collection and
disposal settled, canvassed the city in
an attempt to get enough people tt
agree to pay this small cost in order
to make it profitable for the gentle
man who proposed to undertake the
collection.
Upon the present time there have
been approximately 200 residents who
have signed a pledge to support this
scheme and it will take about 500 to
make the plan profitable Through
the Maysville Chamber of Commerce
much stress is to be laid on this cam
paign just as soon as the Chautauqua
and the war activities now under way
are disposed of successfully.
There are very few families in the
city or Maysville who cannot afford to
pay the small sum of twenty-five
| cents a month for this service and
certainly there is not family in the
city that should be without the SER
vice if it is finally adopted as a city
wide scheme.
Probably next week the Chamber of
Commerce will be able to give this
important matter much of their at.
tention and it is to be hoped that the
| people will rally to the plan and sub
scribe promptly so that all plans can
be completed and ready for presenta.

Appears as Belgium's WOrld-FamOus
Cardinal In New York WOrId-Pic-
ture Brady.Made, "The Cross
Bearer"

Montagu Love, the famous star of
World-Picture Brady-Made is starred
in the new World-Picture, "The Cross
Bearer" which tells the remarkable
story of Cardinal Mercier, the world
famous Belgian prelate, who has
stood up so sturdily for the rights
of his countrymen against the agrees
sions of the German oppressors.
The story is an extremely thrilling
one. 1t tells of the love story of the
Cardinals ward and of the way that
the Cardinal protects her. Excite
ment abounds in this picture, and 1t is
splendid view of the terrific hard
ships suffered by the Belgians ana Of
the heroic efforts made by the Car
dinal to alleviate their sufferings.
1.-THE Cross Bearer" will be the SUI
per-attraction tonight at the Washing
ton theater, and the management of
this theater unhesitatingly recon-
mends this mastery production to
the patrons of this playhouse.
The lavish scale on which "The
Cross Bearer" has been staged is one
of the notable features connected with
it. The interior of the Cathedral
where the Cardinal repulses the Ger
man horde, is a huge structure espe-
cially erected for the purpose of film
ing this picture. Throughout the
whole production expense has not
been spared in making it the very
best ever. This picture will also be
seen at the Gem this afternoon.

GOOD LAW TO BE ENFORCED
RIGIDLY

The suggestion Of Councilman
Davis at the last meeting of City
Council that all weeds in vacant lots
over the city should be cut has caused
instructions to be given by Mayor
Russell and Chief of Police Harry A.
Ort that the ordinance compelling
this to be done by the property own
ers be rigidly enforced by the police.
In some sections of the city vacant
lots have been allowed to grow up
with weeds until it has not only be-
come a a nuisance but dangerous. The
police are now notifying all that the
vacant lots must be cleaned up and
arrests will be made unless the warn
ings of the police are needed.
