GOOD CAUSE FOR ALARM
These Figures Will Make Maysyill,
People Take Notice.

Deaths from kidney disease have in
creased 72fS in twenty years. People
overdo nowadays in SO many ways
that the constant filtering of poisoned
blood weakens the kidneys. Beware
of fatal Bright's disease. When back
ache or urinary ills suggest weak kid
neys, use Doans Kidney Pills, live
carefully, take things easy and avoid
heavy eating. Doans Kidney Pills
command confidence, for no other kid
ney remedy is so widely used or so
generally successful Home endorse
ment is the best proof of merit. Read
this Maysville residents story:
Miss Dora Edgington, Wood St.,
says: 81 have used Doan's Kidney
Pills and from the results received,
have every reason to recommend
them. At times my kidneys have be-
come weak and have been irregular in
action. My back has ached, too, and
has been very weak and lame across
my kidneys. When l have used Doan's
Kidney Pills for this trouble, they
have never failed to relieve the COM
plant in short time. l gladly ad-
wise anyone to get box of Doan's
Kidney Pills at Chanslor's Drug Store,
if troubled in that way"
Miss Edgington is only one Of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. II your

you, don't simply ask for kidney rem

The logical result of road incom-

Will they treat the road fund as a
huge pie to be cut equally among the
Magisterical Districts and spent willy

equal amount is spent in each dis

wastefully by men who know nothing

Or will the Magistrates and their

The ROAD QUESTION
Good Roads Division, Chamber Of

The political graveyard" is filled
with Fiscal Courts that were wrecked
by the road problem.
Likewise the road question has been
the Waterloo of many man who 9TH

Millions of dollars of road money
have been wasted not so much be-
cause of criminal intent, but because
County Judges, and Magistrates failed
to realize that road-building is a
science and Fiscal Courts and Magis-
trates are not scientist.
So uniformly have Fiscal Courts
spent road moneys unwisely that the
magistrate system has filled into bad
order and Fiscal Courts are looked
upon with suspicion.
If the Fiscal Court spends $4,000 or
100000 the opinion is the same that

But soon enthusiastic followers
of the sport, who have been yearn-

month will gather and take initial
steps to stir up following for
their favorite game In the Garden
City. The tennis association will
be revived, not only in spirit, but
in body, and the cry OF Thirty

True, "a large number of tennis
fans have deserted the pursuit OF
the flying bah for the. ancient
game OF golf, the main cause Of
the lack of interest last season in
tennis being the popularity Of the
Scotch pastime, but tennis fans
believe that there are a large num-

has been conducive to outdoor sports
this winter. and even with several
inches of the snow on the links and
the temperature lowering close to the
zero marks, several hardy Garden city
golfers, anxious to improve their play
as much as possible in order to get a
chance at that tournament cup next
summer. have been prodding red ball
around the icy greens.
