low the Example of a Douglas
Citizen
Rescue the aching back.
If it keeps on aching, trouble may
come.
Often it indicates kidney weakness.
If you neglect the kidneys' warning.
Look for urinary disorders.
This Douglas citizen will show yon
how to go to the rescue.
Mrs. J. H. Moore. 611 Gaskin Ave.,
Douglas, says: “My back was weak
and sore nearly all the time. I had a
constant, dull ache across my loins
and sometimes the misery changed to
a dull, piercing pain. I could hard
ly get about and was drowsy and lan
guid. I suffeffred from dizziness and
everything turned black before me. I
had dropsical swellings in my feet and
puffv sacks under my eyes. Rheu
matic pains in my right arm bothered
me and I w as caused annoyance by the
kidney secretions. I took two boxes
of Doan's Kidney Pills and was cured.
I haven’t had any trouble since.”
Price 50c. at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get

GRAVE DOMESTIC PLIGHT
Monetary Problem Acute and Food
Shortage in Mexico City arid Vi- j
cinity Continue* Without Prospect
of Immediate Relief.
The economic situation in Mexico

cial advices to the state department.
With the monetary problem already
acute, the food shortage in Mexico
City and vicinity continuing without
prospect of any immediate relief, and
with the labor strike extending ovei
virtually all the Mexican -railway
lilies, the dc facto government is pic
tured as facing a serious domestic
Plight.
The department received furl bet
advices from Special Agent Rodgers
at Mexico City telling of tiie new
note that was in process of prepara
tion by the de facto government,
but the message threw no light on
its purport.
While reports as to the domestic
situation of the Carranza government
are gloomy, the attitude of Mexican
officials towards the United States
has been described as more friendly
since the border conference between
Generals Scott and Obregou. It is
believed possible this will be reflected
in the new note, although some ofti
dais think it probable that a new
request for withdrawal of the Amer
ican expeditionary forces will lie in
cluded.
