OH! MY BACK!
Aching Backs Make Life Miser-
able For Many Key West People.

5et5 ss
It isn't right to suffer day in
and day out with dull, unceasing
backache. Or be utterly miser-
able with sharp stabs of pain
whenever you stoop or lift. But
chances are you viii suffer these
tormenting aches and pains as
long as your weakened kidneys are
neglected. You may have head
aches, too, spells of dizziness and
urinary disorders. Then use
Doan's Pills-a stimulant diure-
tic to the kidneys. Experiences of
Key West people prove the merit
of Doan's.
VIM. A. Kemp, cigar maker,
1911 Duncan St, Key West, says:
when / sat down to read the
paper, my back ached like a tooth
ache and I couldn't sit still. I was
compelled to get up nights to pass
the kidney secretions. / also had
severe pains in the top of my
head. ] used Doan's Pills and
was cured"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Pills-the same thai
Mr.. Kemp had. Foster Milburr

hYDR0P H0BIA
fund CUT BY
new DOG TAX
Sufficiency of Money for
Treating Patients Is
Feared.

Doubt is being expressed by State
board Of health officials as to future
suficiency of the fund for treating
hydrophobia patients, due to work
ilgs of the new dog tax law.
Under the new dog tax law, which
allows county commissioners to fix
the levy on dogs, an inclination
toward reduction has been manifest.
At odd times the commissioners
dole out payments to farmers whose
sheep and other live stock have
been killed by roaming dogs. On
March 1 each year the counties re-
tain $4,000 of the fund for the sue
,ceeding year and transfer 3 per cent
of the excess to the State hydropho-
bia fund These transfers are di-
minishing appreciably, according to
Lewis c. Johnson, deputy State
auditor
The state BOARD Of health uses the
hydrophobia fund in treating per-
sens exposed TO rabies. At the end
of each fiscal year the health board
retains $4,000 of the fund and turns
the remainder over to the State per-
manent common school fund for dis
tribution among counties. The sit
uation has been complicated on ac-
count of the increase in rabies pa
s1ents treated. If the hydrophobia
epidemic continues, officials said, the
state may find itself unable to treat
ali cases.
.Aiivcation Of dog taxes, Johnson
said, is the most intricate problem
public taxation officials have to face.
For each dollar of dog tax raised
six separate distributions are made
before the sum is dissipated, John
son said

DECIDING CASE
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

DETROIT, Jan 20.-Moying pictures
today delivered four year old child
to it's foster mother when Judge Vim
cent Brennan in circuit court award
ed custody of little Mabel Irene to
Mrs. Irene Goosen.
In doing so he denied the habeas
corpus petition of the child's natural
mother, Mrs. Julia Przybyia.
The child has been under Mrs
Goosen's charge since a few weeks
after birth. In an effort to arrive
at a just decision on the petition of
the natural mother for the return of
her child, Judge Brennan had the
two women and the child stand be-
fore him last Saturday when he an
.nounced that the child was to be
sent to an institution. Concealed
moving picture machines showed the
reaction of the two women to this
decision. Judge Brennan and several
psychologists yesterday viewed the
film. He said today that he was
giving custody of the child to Mrs.
IGoosen because the film showed ''a
much more biological emotional re-
action on her part" and also because
of the willingness of the real mother
to permit the child to be sent to an
institution.

Weight of Piece of Paper
Led to Overdose of Drugs
That Killed Two Women

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Jan. 20
The weight of of a piece of paper
was held responsible for overdoses
of local anaesthetic which killed
two women in the general hospital
here, it became known today in an
inquiry of District Attorney Asa
Keyes. Following questioning of wit
nesses, Keyes ordered an inquest for
tomorrow afternoon. Action by the
district attorneys office will await
the outcome of the inquest.
Lyman Hoag, chief chemist, and
Leo Wagner, assistant chemist of the
hospital told the district attorney
that in weighing the drug it was
always placed on a piece of paper on
the scales. A similar piece of paper
was to have been placed under the
balancing weights. Two sheets of
paper were placed under the weights
by mistake. A single sheet of paper
weighs six and half gramns. AS
result, the prescribed three grains OF
the drug was trebled.

Kellogg took direct issue today with
the statement issued to the press
yesterday by Mexican Foreign Minis
ter Aaron Saenz, reiterating the po-
sition of the Washington government
that the new Mexican land and Pc
troleum laws "are plainly retroactive
and conflictory."
Kellogg used 156 words to answer
the 1000 word public declaration OF
the foreign minister, dismissing the
Mexican statement as containing mo
facts or arguments which have not
been fully dealt with" in official
exchanges.
The Mexican note handed to AM
bassador Sheffield in Mexico City
late today did not reach the state
department tonight, nor had the de-
partment been advised of it's deliv-
cry to Sheffield. 1t was said at the
department that no agreement to
withhold the two notes from publlea"
tion had been made with the Mexico
City government which would apply
after the Mexican rejoinder had been
received
The department also announced
that it had transmitted, in reply to
