woman was restored by U3lng Doans
Kidney Pills
Mrs H A Van Sickle Gil Cth Ave
S W Roanoke Va says Kidney
trouble was hereditary in our family
and I had been so continually afflicted
with the disease that I began to des
pair of even temporary relief Some
times I suf ered so severely that I was
confind to my bed The aching in my
back was Interne and the kidney dis
order caused an excess of uric acid
In my blood which impaired my diges
tion I was compelled to deny myself
of many of the little delicacies o diet
The doctors diagnosed my case as
congestion of the kidneys I had
about given up hope when I began
using Doana Kidney Pills but I took
only a few doses when their curative
powers were proven to my satisfac
tion I have never been without them
in the house since

Reached the Limit
When Herbert Spencer was in the
habit of dining out with his scientific
and literary friends a lady of conspic
uous mental ability and learning was
generally one of the company and
Spencer was invariably asked to take
her down to dinner His hosts thought
they were paying him a compliment in
giving him the most brilliant lady of
tne company but he resented always
being associated with the same lady
At last when his host on one occa
sion said Mr Spencer will you take
Miss down to dinner the phil
osopher emphatically replied No 1
will not and another companion had
to be found for him
It Made Him Dizzy
When Paul Meyer the new

came from Rigi Russia he was not al

musicians union The committee that
examined him proposed to have some
fun with nim so the most tangled
piece of rag time they could find was
put on the music rack before him
Meyer took up his violin studied the
music then essayed to play it Then
he took a long rest Twice more he
tried it then exclaimed Was ist
If you have the menu of a Chinese res
taurant bring it out and Ill play it

THIN DIET
No Nourishment in It
Its not easy to keep up when cof
fee has so ruined the stomach that
food wont digest
A Mo woman says I had been
an invalid for two years from stomach
trouble cauced by coffee got so bad I
couldnt digest food and for quite a
while I lived on milk and lime water
nothing but that a glass of milk
and lime water six times a day In
this way I managqd to live but of
course did not gain
It was about 5 months ago I be
gan using Postum Food Coffee I did
not need the milk and lime water
after that for I gained rapidly and I
can now eat a good meal and drink
from 1 to 3 cups of Postum each meal
and feel fine
I would not go back to coffee for
ny reasonable pay I like Postum
better than coffee now and make Pos
tum by directions on box and it is
just fine never found a better way to
make it than on box Now this is all
true and you can easily prove it
Name given by Postum Co Battle
Creek Mich
Postum is a brew from field grains
with all the nourishment left in It
makes red blood and rebuilds partic
ularly well where coffee has done
damage as it does to nearly all who
drink it
A 10 days trial of Postum in place
of coffee works wonders Theres a

THE STATE IN A NUTSHELL
ONLY NET CREDITS TAXABLE
Attorney General Prout So Advises
Board of Equalization
LINCOLN Attorney General Prout
handed down an opinion holding that
net and not gross credits are taxable
under the new revenue law His ac
tion was taken at the request of the
State Board of Equalization which
will now instruct county assessors to
allow all owners of credits to deduct
their indebtedness when making out
theip personalty schedules In effect
the holding will mean much to the
wholesale and jobbing interests of
Omaha and Lincoln which had been
protesting against the heavy burdens
which would bo imposed upon them
by taxation of gross credits since
much of their business is done on
credit
Attorney General Prout follows the
line of reasoning adopted by Commis
sioner Duflie in the opinion which hf
wrote when the law was attacked in
the supreme court last fall There
is some question as to the weight
which can be given to the commis
sioners opinion since the court did
not in express language approve of
it and Chief Justice Holcomb ha
been quoted as saying that the Duffie
view of the matter is a mere dictum
not binding in law It was charged
at the time that the court had enough
to do in handling the general ques
tion of the constitutionality of the
measure without going into the credit
problem However the board having
obtained an expression from the
states legal adviser will follow that
as the law until someone steps in to
test the law by injunction or man
damus and there aie at present no
prospects of any such litigation
