BEBATE OF TAXES NOT FEASIBLE
Washington, April 10. The plan
sponsored by Chairman Madden of
the house appropriations committee
to make rebates to taxpayers when
the government winds up fiscal
perioa with a surplus, would, in the
cpinlon of president Coolidgc, prove
too difficult of administration to he
fea&iMc.
he president has not disjurfd
th plan with Chairman Madden, v ho
said toaay he would press for action
by tht next congress, on his bn! to
authorize such refunds, and he does
not desire to be placed in the posi
tion of condemning a proposal of
which he has only a general knowl
edge. He regards Madden as an ex
pert on government finance and feel;
that the appropriations chairman un
doubtedly has sound and practical
reasons for sponsoring' -the- rebate
plan.
Coolidge, however, believes that
surplus funds should be applied to
ward reducing the government deb
for the surplus is incidental or be
made the basis for donwward revi
sion of the tax rates if the surpluses
are large and continuing..

HELP FORJLD FOLKS
Old Age Should be Happy Not a
Time of Sickness and Suffering.
Too many people begin to suffer at
middle age with constant backache,
urinary ills and rheumatic pains and
aches. Weak kidneys are usually the
cause, and If neglected there is dan
ger of hardened arteries, dropsy, gra
vel or Bright's disease. Help your
weakened kidneys with a stimulant
diuretic before kidjiey disease gets a
firm hold! Use Doan's Pills. Thou
sands of old folks recommend Doan's.
Here is Piattsmouth proof:
W. II. Mann, .Marble street, says:
'A' cold settled -on my kidneys and
the secretions passed too freely and
were scalding, too. My back gave out
mornings when I attempted to get
up and I Ihad to get out of bed on
my hands and knees. My back was
so lame and stiff, I could hardly
straighten and every, move I made
sent sharp pains through my back.
Doan's Pills from Weyrich & Had
raba's drug1 store rid me of the trou
ble." Mr Mann is only one of many
Piattsmouth people who have grate
fully endorsed Doan's PII13. If your
back aches if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy ask distinctly for DOAN'S
PILLS, the same that Mr. .Mann'had
the remedy backed by home testi
mony. 60 cents at all dealers. Fos
