The attorney-gener 1 when coo Ider

and, evidently, it served Gov.Ho?gatiV
purpose to let him retain the idea that

criminal as criminals are generally un

Most of the men of the "perfesh"

not unexpected.

Jas. Vandervere, motorman (_). E. Rv.,
living on Central St, .corner Second St.,
Olympia Wash., says: "Just about
two years ago, I learned about Doan's
Kidney Pills. I was troubled a great
deal with backache at the ime. At in
tervals, the pain was severe and at
other times, a steady dull aching.
Whether it wa? my work or colds or
both tbat caused the derangement, I do
oot know, but what I do know, is that
Doan's Kidney Pills quickly relieved
and eradicated the complaint, stopped
the aching completely and strengthened
my back so that I could lift, stoop or
bring any of the b?ci muscles into play
without the slightest twinge. I consider
Doan's Kidney Pills unsurpassable.''
