THIRTY YEAR# OF IT.
A Fearfully Long Siege of Daily Pain
and Misery.
Charles Von Soehnen of 210 A St.,
Colfax, Wash., says; "For at least
thirty years I suf-
fered with kidney
troubles, and the at-
tacks laid me up for
days at a time with
pain in the back and
rheumatism. When
I was up and around
sharp twinges caught
me, and for fifteen years the frequent
passages of kidney secretions an-
noyed me. But Doan's Kidney Pills
have given me almost entire freedom
from this trouble and I cannot speak
too highly in their praise."

government' was thoroughly alive to Bell, a young farmer living
the situation and determined to give
Its aid In every possible legal and
proper form.
The legal right of the department
to make allotments of the bonds and
securities to such persons and banks
and in such amounts as it might see
tit can hardly be called In question In
view of the fact that the circular of-
fering the Panama bonds contained
this distinct provision:
" The department also reserves the
right to reject any or all bids. If
deemed to be to the interests of the
United States so to do.'
"The total bids for the Panama
canal bonds," continues the secretary,
"amounted to J2,220,604,580, or more
than 44 times the amount offered."
Details of the distribution appended
to the report shows that the present
deposits are divided among 1,421
banks. Considerable space Is devoted
to showing that great care has been
taken In distributing the deposits and
much consideration is shown to com-
munities where particular trade move-
ments involve a special demand for
currency at certain intervals.

Japanese Consul General Salnto the
regulations adopted by the Japanese

ing classes:

brothers and sisters of the persons
who are at present living In Hawaii
Third, 'ho husbands and wives of
the brothers and sisters included In
the second class.
The regulation Is to take effect Feb-
ruary l. It has been figured out '-Uat
under this regulation, considering that

kogee county has 35 prisoners charg-
ed with murder, probably the largest

Surely King of Burglars.
The most enterprising burglar as
yet recorded is the Long Island chap
who not only escaped from a brand-
new county jail the other night but
took with him all the locks and door-
knobs In the place. If they catch him
they ought to promote blm to the best
penitentiary In the land as a tribute
to his genius.
A Remedy for Neuralgia or Pain lr
the Nerve*.
For neuralgia and sciatica Sloan's
Liniment has no equal. It has a pow-
erfully sedative effect on the nerves
—penetrates without rubbing and
gives immediate relief from pain—
fjtiickens the circulation of the blood
and gives a pleasant sensation of com-
fort and warmth.
For three years I suffered with
neuralgia in the head and Jaws,"
writes J. P. Hubbard, of Marietta, S.
C., "and had almost decided to have
three of my teeth pulled, when a
friend recommended me to buy a 25
cent bottle of Sloan's Liniment. I did
so and experienced immediate relief,
and I kept on using It until the neu-
ralgia was entirely cured. I will never
be without a bottle of Sloan's Lini-
ment In my house again. I use It also
for insect bites and sore throat, and I
can cheerfully recommend it to any
one who suffers from any of the Ills
I have mentioned."

Hard Worked Woman Not Ready to
Face Hired Girl Problem.
A Massachusetts man, whose busi-
ness frequently takes htm over the
Hue Into Vermont, say* that one even-
ing he was a guest at a farm house In
that state when he observed that the

amount of work that would have put
an ordinary Mavnachusetls horse to

lain sitting there watching her.
Feeling considerable compassion for
the woman, who looked as if ready to
drop from overwork, the visitor
asked:

Surely you are not going to try to pull
through tbe long winter without a
hired girl"

face of tbe woman "Waal. 1 dunno."
