Sill to Be Introduced to Provide for Collection.

It is stated at the office of the state auditor that there are probably $4,000,000 due the state, much of which has been stand ing on the books for years and some of which will probably never be paid unless some measures more potent for collection of the state’s revenues is en acted than has ever yet been provided. At the same time the state has an outstanding indebtedness of about $1, 260,000, which seems in no fair way to be paid unless a method is invented by which the state may realize upon the old taxes due it.

Bye, P. O. Address, Box 297, Midland, Mich., says: "Three months I was almost incapacitated from labor; could not sleep at night; had to walk the floor, owing to terrible pain in the hips, in the small of the back, in my instep and ankle of the right leg. I was treated for sciatic rheuma tism in the hospital, but received no benefit. One month ago I returned home and was given a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills. To-day residents of this city can bear witness to the fact that I am able to work, and can also walk to my work without the aid of a walking-stick or crutch. In speaking of the immediate effect of Doan's Kidney Pills, I did not find them to deaden the pain, but quickly and surely to eradicate the cause of it I am of the opinion that Doan's Kid ney Pills are the best remedy for kidney ailments that can be procured. I was especially careful in my diet, in order to give the treatment fair play. In conclusion, I shall be pleased, at any time, to answer any Inquiries re warding my case, from anyone desir ous of obtaining it.” A FREE TRIAL of this great kid ney medicine which cured Mr. Bye will be mailed on application to any part of the United States. Address Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. For sale by all druggists, price 60 cents per box. David’s assertion in haste that all men are liars is invariably clinched 'round about election time.
