A TALK WITH A PAYErrE MAN
MIR. l.. G. Jones, prop. o. X. Shoe
Shop on Main Street, Tells His
Experience

There Is nothing like talk with
one of our own citizens for givins
nope and encouragement to the anx.
ious sufferer from the dread kidney
disease. We, therefore give here an
interview with a Payette man
My kidneys got out of order
caused from heavy lifting and over
work, says Mr.. Jones. My back
was lame and 1 could hardly get ont
OF bed in the morning. When I
stopped to pull on my shoes a catch
seized me in the small of my back
and had a hard time to straighten
MY muscles were drawn and I knew
the trouble lay in my kidneys. 1 used
Doan's Pills and obtained the
desired relief"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Pills - the same
that Mr.. Jones' had. Foster-Milburn

CARDS ON THE TABLE POLICY

1t looks as il the Dawes commit
tee now working out a settlement,
plan on the reparati ms question will
evolve scheme that will be practt-
cal. After five years of "diplo-
mattel controversies and do-nothine
policies, a business like plan will
smoke lot of European politicians
out of their holes and they will
either have to favor the plan or ad-
NIT frankly that they would rather
continue the controversy than settle
the matter.
The Dawes committee is in the
peculiar position of being able to
say Of their work, Take it or leave
1t, here is a business like solution. :"
This puts the chronic kicker where
he cannot sidestep. His bluff will be
called and he will have to show his
cards. The world will then be able
TO draw its own conclusions regard
Ing the final settlement of the
PREPARATIONS question.

the oil cans, extra tires and greasy
cloths usually found in an American
garage are tucked away out Of sight
