ALL WRONG.
The Mistake Is Made By Many
Newport Citizens.
Look for the cause of back
ache.
To be cured you must know
the cause.
If it’s wreak kidneys you must
set the kidneys right.
A Newport resident tells you
how.
Miss Hattie Stuart, Malcolm
avenue, East Newport, says:
“One of our family had a bad
back that bothered her and se
vere headaches came on. Her
sight blurred too. Doan’s Kid
ney Pills have given her good re
lief from these ailments.”
Price, 50c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy
—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the
same that Miss Stuart recom
mends. Foster-Milburn Co.,

Bitter Religious Fight Predicted
Special to the Independent
Little Rock, Sept. 7.—Roman
ism and anti-Romanism is sure
to be a subject which will bring
forth a most bitter fight in the
next legislature, and which will
no doubt consume much of the
60 day session. Circular letters
have already been sent to mem
bers of the legislature, asking
how they stand on the subject.
Literature attacking members of
the Catholic church in Arkansas
who hold office or positions of
trust, accompanies the letters to
the legislators.
In various counties of the
state the question is now a burn
ing one, and in Polk county an
effort is being made to defeat
Democratic nominees, not be
cause they are members of the
Catholic church,but because they
have not condemned those who
are. A strong fight is being
made on the county school su
_i i * <
pci iiilcuuciil wcause lie accept
ed an invitation to address the
audience which gathered to as
sist in dedicating a handsome
new Catholic school building at
Mena.
There were several bills in the
last legislature for the inspec
tion of schools and hospitals,
which were aimed at Catholic
institutions, but they were de
feated. Several to replace these,
and backed by a stronger follow
ing, are now being prepared for
presentation to the next Assem
bly. The fight is sure to be a
bitter one, if the feeling that
has already been developed may
be counted for anything,
