in spite of constantly aching backs
or headaches dizzy spells bearing
down pains they must stoop over
when to stoop means torture They
must walk and bend and work with
racking pains and many aches from
kidney ills Kidney causes more suf-
fering than any other organ of the
body Keep the kidneys well and
health is easily maintained Read of
a remedy for kidneys only that helps
and cures the kidneys and is endorsed

Mrs J H Henkle living at 312
Covert street Palestine Texas says
At times I had pains across the small
of my back so severe that I could
hardly straighten Towards morning
the pains were so acute that I was
awakened by them A few months
ago when I saw Doans Kidney Pills
advertised I procured a box from the
Bratton Drug Co and since using
them I have hid no more troubles
from my back I take pleasure In
recommending Doans Kidney Pills to
other kidney sufferers

Tennessee Executive Escorted By
Armed Men to Tiptonville
Union City Tenn Oct 22 Gover-
nor Patterson traveled yesterday af-
ternoon from Dyersburg to Tipton
ville with an armed escort furnished
by the authorities of Dyer county It

cautionary measure men armed with
Winchesters accompanied him on the
trip and remainef at Tiptonville lasL
night Fear was expressed by some
that ordering out the state troops
and offering by the governor of such
large rewards may excite enmity
against him
Everything is quiet today every-
body is simply awaiting develop-
ments The governor will personally
take charge of the troops there Tip
tonville is greatly stirred up over the
appearance of the troops and condi-
tions that precipitated them Lake
