paclty considered Metal packages
foul In shipping empty, and sometimes
rust while the empty barrel Is bright
and clean.
"The classification on goods ship
ped in barrels should be lower than
on similar goods shipped In rectang-
ular containers for four reasons:
"First-Thcre are fewer damage
claims.
"Secondly--A freight-crew will han
die ten times the tonnage in barrels
that II will in regular containers.
"Thirdly--Cars can be unloaded in
one-tcnth the time, and under wealth
err conditions that with other contain
ers might prevent the release of the
car.
"Fourthly-The barrel is more san
itary; this is the most important, al
though ii does not enter into the cal
culation of transportation companies
as do the first three.
AS n matter of fact, | maintain that
in the barrel we have had the best and
the cheapest container with us for
some time, and that il would be a
great saving If this were generally
understood"

noted by motorists that long sparks
can be drawn from such an electrified
automobile the minute it comes to
rest. OF course, this charge is dssi-
pated and lost few minutes after the
car comes to rest
While there is no danger, as a rule,
by thus highly electrifying an auto
mobile, it sometimes happens that
should person, who had not been
riding in the same car and who stands
on the ground should touch the gaso-
line tank (Which perhaps has been
leaking), an explosion often follows.
The reason for this is that the car Is
still highly charged, while the body
of the third person presents a good
path for the electricity to surge into
the ground, and if the spark made is
anywhere near the gasoline tank. If
course, results are apt to be diSas
trous.

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK

Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
and Ills Of Maysyllle People.

As one weak link weakness a chain
so may weak kidneys weaken the
wholebody and hasten the final break

Overwork strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and gen.

Aches and pains and IanguUr and
urinary ills frequently come, and
there is an ever-increasing gravel or
fatal Bright's disease. When the kid
neys fail there Is no real help for the
sufferer except kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys. Maysville testimony is
proof Of their effectiveness.
Mrs. Harry Mann, 495 W. Second
St., says: About two years ago, !
suffered from an attack of kidney
trouble that had lasted for long
time. l had q dull, constant ache in
the small Of my back and the pains
were often sharp. l was also dizzy

Of Doan's Kidney Pills cured me and
l haven't been bothered by kidney
trouble since. l gladly advise anyone
to get box Of Doan's Kidney Pills

Mrs. Mann is only one of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for kidney
remedy-ask distinctly for DOAN'S

There is, of course, a reason which
The Electrical Experimenter explains
as follows:
On cold, crisp winter morning the
conditions for static electricity are
ideal. Any possessor of a staticelec-

hence we find that an automobile,
which is nothing but a huge static
machine on rubber rollers rubbing
against highly electrified asphalt
pavement, produces static electricity
in an abundant quantity. AS any own
err of static machine knows, if the
crank is turned and the electricity es-
capes. a peculiar kissing sound is OBJ
served, which is due to the fact that
the static electricity escapes into air
The same thing happens when an au-
tomobile runs at high speed along the
asphalt. the electricity emerging from
