Doan’s Kidney Pills cure the cause of disease, and that is why the cures are always lasting. This remedy strengthens and tones up the kidneys, helping them to drive out of the body the liquid poisons that cause backache, headache and distressing kidney and urinary complaints. Am ericus people testify' to permanent cures. Mrs. Sallie Cobb, living corner Mayo and Lamar streets., Americus, Ga., says: “I have only words of praise in favor of Doan’s Kidney Pills, and sometimes think I would not be here if I had not learned of this rem edy. Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of what seemed to be an incurable case of kidney trouble. I suffered for ten years from the malady. I had hemorrhages of the kidneys and the secretions were very unnatural in ap pearance. I was weak and had final ly given up hope of ever getting bet ter. I then heard about Doan’s Kid ney Pills, and procured a box at Dodson’s Pharmacy. They helped me from the first, a short use cured me and for two years I have been perfectly well. I can never be thank ful enough for the benefit I received from the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed, you have a rumbling sound or imperfect heading, and when it is entirely closed, deaf ness is the result, and unless the in flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flammed condition of the mucous sur faces.

Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Pierce dis covered that he could, by the use of pure, triple-refined glycerine, aided by a cer tain degree of constantly maintained heat and with the aid of apparatus and appliances designed for that purpose, ex tract from our most valuable native me dicinal roots their curative properties much better than by the use of alcohol, so generally employed.

(Spe cial) —Practical work resulting from the recent conference of governors at the White House will begin with the organization of the national conservation commission this week. The governors joined in a declaration favoring the appointment of a Federal as well as State commissions to co-1 operate in a plan for the conserva-| tion of the natural resources of thej country. Under the direction of Gif ford Pinchot, chairman of the nat ional commission, plans are under way for beginning the work of col lecting information upon which to base the preliminary report of the commission, to be made next Janu ary. In these words of President Roose velt, the keynote for the work of the commission is: “Every effort should be made to prevent destruction, to reduce waste, and to distribute the enjoyment of our natural wealth in such away as to promote the great est good for the greatest number for the longest time.” The commission will begin its inquiry in looking to ward development of water transpor tation, judicious development of forests, control of streams, with a view of reducing soil waste and permitting American farms to in crease in fertility and productive ness; proper use of public lands of the country, and judicious develop ment of its mineral resources. Almost simultaneously with the appointment of the commission the President issued an order authorizing the Federal departments to give the commission such help as it may re quire. Information will also be sought in other quarters, and the commission will probably divide into subcommittees to more effectively ob tain information on the various sub jects to be considered.

RUSSIAN PRINCESS HAD RENOUNCED A TITLE New York, June 25.—(Special) Mrs. William B. Neftel died on Sat urday at her home, 1.391 Madison ave nue. Her death closes an interesting career of eighty years. Mrs. Neftel was in her own right Princess de Georgie of Russia, but in her life of forty-eight years in this city she never used and disap proved the use by others of her title. She had become so thoroughly Ameri canized that she chose to live her life regardless of her foreign pres tige. Mrs. Neftel was formerly Nadine, daughter of King Georges XIII, of Georgia. This title was borne by the various rules of Georgia in the Caucasus Mountains of Southern Russia. Her family ruled the pro vince undisturbed and independent for centuries. . Mrs. Neftel’s father was the last of the reigning Princes and their sway ended with the Crimean War. He died after ceding Georgia to Russia, and the family of the Princess went to Moscow. Soon afterward she met Dr. William D. Neftel, a surgeon in the Russian Army. They were mar ried with great pomp in Moscow and made preparations to go to America. The Princess was always inde pendent in her views and foresaw a life of untrammeled usefulness for her young husband in the faraway land.
