OH! MY BACK!
The Expression of Many a Kidney
Sufferer in Charles Town.

A stubborn backache is cause to
suspect kidney trouble. When the
kidneys are inflamed and swollen,
STOPPING brings sharp twinge in the
small of the back, that almost takes
the breath away. Doan's Kidney
Pills revive sluggish kidneys-relieve
aching backs. Ask your neighbor!
Here's Charles Town proof:
A. w. Grove, 410 w. Liberty St.,
says: II have found Doan's Kidney
Pills to be a good remedy for kidney
complaint and ] always recommend
them. My kidneys were in such a
weak and disorded condition, / could
hardly bend over, when / got up in
the morning. During the day / had
a steady dull ache across my kidneys.
Often when stopped, I had sharp
catches in the small of my back and
my kidneys did not act right. Doan's
Kidney Pills were recommended to
me and got supply at Brown and
Hooff's Drug Store. They just suit
ed my trouble and soon had me free
from backaches and regulated my
kidneys"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get

WHAT IS SUGGEST

My experience has been that the
greatest difficulty with boys who en-
ter q business house is not that they
think wrongly, but that they do not
think at all. Many are willing to put
In one day Of hard work after another
In the conscientious performance OF
their duties, but they seem to believe
their thinking should be done by the
men higher up, writes Irving T. Bush
In Forbes Magazine. Many Of these
young men are perfectly capable Of
thinking IL they will only try. There
is no doubt that If any Of us can be
induced to approach a task with the
belief that we are capable Of thinking
about 1t, and that If we keep on think
ing about 1t we shall probably develop
something that will make us do our
work better, we shall, In all probable
ity, actually do the work better. After
all, doing Job little better than the
other fellow is all there is to success,

Congressman King is one of an In
creasing number of Republicans in the
House who are urging quick action
on Philippine independence. Mr.,
King is the author of bill which pro-
vides that within one year the Philip
pine government. under presidential
proclamation, may assemble a conven-
tion and frame a constitution.
After the constitution is ratified by
the Filipino people the President may
recognize the Philippine Islands as "a
separate and self-governing nation"
The transfer of authority Is to be
completed within one year. Provision
is made for safeguarding American in
vestments in the Philippines and for
the providing of coaling stations and
submarine bases in the islands by the
United States.
Word from the Philippines is that
the people expect early independence
and will be sorely disappointed If they
do not get 1t.
mo nation has the right" said Con-
gresham King ito hold another people
in peonage, even though 1t may be
argued by the professoriate that the
condition is simply one of 'tutelage.'
"a little more observance of the
golden rule in national and interna-
tional affairs would soon dispel that
desire for exploitation, the fiercest foe
of freedom in the world today.
"When we went to the Philippines
we declared before the whole world
that we were not actuated by any self
ish desire of conquest or territorial
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. but solely by humani-
tartan impulses"
Congressman King called attention
to the fact. that Filipinos are now
raising funds to erect a monument to
Admiral Dewey, which he said was In
directly tribute to the American peo-
pie as well as to Dewey. He recalled
the cable that Dewey had sent to
President Mckinley. which was as
follows:
"In my opinion these people GILL
pinos) are superior in intelligence and
more capable Of self government than
the natives of Cuba and am familiar
with both"
Congressman King then recited the
preamble to the Jones law, passed
August 20. 1915, and declared 1t was a
definite pledge Of independence. The
preamble stated at is as It has always
been the purpose of the people of
the United States to withdraw their
sovereignty over the Philippine Islands
and to recognize their independence as
soon as stable government can be
established therein"
Congressman King stated there was
no question but that the Filipinos had
established the specified stable gov
ernment and. therefore, 1t is the
solemn duty of the United States to
grant the promised Independence.

Wednesday the 23d. at the resi-
dence of Rev. Glen Davies, the cere-
mony was performed uniting in mar
riage Miss Nellie Steele of Lake City,
to Mr.. Eugene Wilson of Powderhorn,
Rev. Davies officiating.
The bride is one of Lake Citys
most highly respected and favored
young ladies. who has been teaching
the Cathedral school for several
months. Mr.. Wilson is one of Pow
derhorn's sturdy and dependable
young men, having grown to manhood
in that place, and is very popular in
the younger set.
This pair of happy young things
hoped to deceive their friends, but
denial of the fact was futile for from
the time the bride-to-be stepped from
the east-bound train to be met by
Gene their camouflage was as. obvi-
Gus as the track of schooner on a
Ute playground. Their devious wind
ings to courthouse and parsonage
were scanned by foes in ambush, and
at the proper time their renegade
friends pounced upon them, marched
them to the Foster home, where a
small party soon gathered for most
enjoyable evening. Best wishes and
congratulations follow these excellent
young people.

ONION PRODUCERS
ALLOW CROP TO ROT

Olathe, Colo., March 22.-It is esti-
mated that sixtylive carloads of on
ions in the hands of growers and
commission men in the Olathe dis
trict will be allowed to rot because
of the low prices now prevailing and
the high cost of haulage and excessive
freights. Freight charges and haul
age alone cost more than the onions
would bring on any market.
Onions are quoted at $500 per hum
dred in the retail stores in Gunnison.
Yet some people think there is moth
ing wrong with our distribution sys-
tenn and that the railroads should be
allowed to raise rates higher still be-
cause they say they need it.

WASHINGTON, April 27.,-Senator

to-day N support of the sales tax. He
stirred up debate on the revenue
question which, though brief. was
looked on as a forecast of the pro.
tracted controversy over tax revision
which is not far ahead.
Senator Smoot declared most of the
difficulties and annoyanSes attending
the operation of the revenue system
would be removed if general sales
tax was adopted. He advocated a gen.
eral sales tax of per cent in lieu of
the excess profits tax and certain other
taxes. He estimated this would yield
Sl,500, 900, 600
While the sales tax will have much
Senate support, there also will be
sharp opposition. 1t is the general be.
lief it cannot pass Congress. Western

plain Senator McCumber of NORTH

that the total of the tax, when appliec
on several sales, would not exceed 21s
