SETTING THE HOUSE SHOE XA1L

this paper, sent an urgent request

Here is what a correspondent of
the Outlook writ€§ ol' his observa
tions in a big ore snieltering works
located on tho outskirts of 0110 of
tUe chief mining cities of Mexico:
"Many peons are employed here,
and a liigh-salaried white em
ployee of the company told me that
their average wage was a peso and
a quarter a day—about ninety
ceuis in gold in normal times, and
from ten to thirty cents at pres
ent. This man said the company
dreaded the successful termination
o» the revolution, as it would
mean the formation of labor unions
and tho consequent rise of wages.
Several of the wholesale employers
of peon labor in Mexico frankly
admit that they prefer ten years
ct anarchy, followed by the good
old days of peon labor, to inter
vention of any kind which would
mean the restoration of peace and
a higher wage scale.
"It is such men who frequently
pay as low wages as soventy-five
cent a 'Mex' per diem, and it was
tliov who fliinflammed their em
ployees with all sorts of 'hospital
taxes' and other devices for re
ducing actual net wages until tho
revolution frightened most of them
from the country. It is they and
their kind who have justified a good
ileal of tho hatred of Amor
i.'.me i i Mexico."

If you neglect kidney backache,
Urinary troubles often follow.
Act iu time by curing the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
for weakened kidneys.
Many people in this locality
rccomiuend them.
Here's one case:
Mrs. O. Ij. Rynning, f> 445 South
M St., Tacoma, Wash., says: "Off
and on for eighteen years I suffer
ed from kidney complaint and in
flammation of the bladder. The
trouble was so bad at times that I
couldn't keep on my fec*l. There
were torturing pains in my back and
1 was so lame that I could hardly
stoop or Straighten. When I sat
down, 1 couldn't gel un without a
great effort. I was all run down. I
didn't rest well and a ^oo frequent
action of my kidneys bothered »ne.
I tried many doctors, but their
medicine didn't do me a,:y good.
At last I fot to ".sing Doan's Kid
ney Pills and I found tht-.m to be
the remedy I needed. They helped
me from the first. My kidneys were
strengthened and the torturing
pain and lameness went away. I
have since been able to sleep well
and get around to do my work
without suffering.
