WHY THAT LAME BACK

That morning lameness-those sharp

work a burden and rest impossible.
Don't be handicapped by bad back

no mistake by following this York
residents example.
Mrs. w. w. Hudson, California
Ave, says: About six years ago had
a dragging ache through the small of
my back and my back was weak and
sore. The least lifting seemed to
strain me terribly and headaches GER
tainly were terribly annoying. Nervous
spells bothered me, too and felt tired
and languid. My kidneys acted irreg-
ularly and bothered me on that ac-
count l felt as if I would have to
cry out sometimes, the pains were so
bad. Doans Kidney Pills gave me
final relief at once and two boxes in all

toms Of kidney trouble"

Young Thompson laid aside his in

with a local company which had a
large contract for construction of
radio apparatus for the Army and
Navy. He retained this position for
several months and then resigned to

the House will call for an appropria-

In the last Congress 592 rol! calls
were made and they consumed total
of 444 hours, or 8s legislative days.
The value of this time, measured in
terms Of members salaries, amounted
to 64,244-more than half a million
dollars. This is a fair example OF
what happens during each Congress.
It has been figured by some interest
ed members that the total time con-
sumed in calling the roll during the
last Congress, reduced to the time of
one man working five hours a day
continuously, amounted to more than
100 years.
