There Is some consolation for Cap

of his kind. He has been shamefully
outdone In piracy, and now he will be
out-captained In the salvage of burled
treasure by reason of the stupendous
plans which are being made for raising
ships sunk by German submarines. At
the end of the war charts aud airships
will. It is planned, locate the wrecks
within the war zone. Coul will he

OLD PEOPLE'S
KIDNEYS
Many Elderly Rkagwaj- Rjesidents
Suffer Fiom Souuj Form of
KidlM'y Trouble.
Whtfoi past middle age, there fre
quently comes a noticeable weakern
in o* the organs ol thg body, and,
resultiiij danger of quick decline.
It is quite necessary to give prompt
help tc any part that first Bhows
sigrs of wear. Healthy kidneys
aia necessary to a- hal« old age.
Weak kidneys often bring1 constant
backache, lame back, gtiches and
twinges of pain, annoying urinary
troubles, and th© danger of drop
sy or Bright's disease. Doan's
Kidney P.llls are gratefully recom
mended by very many aged people.
Convincing proof of merit in the
following testimony: 1 .
J. M. Johnsen, carpenter, 2625 W.
Fifty-ninth St., Seattle, wash,
says; "A cold weakened my kid
ney and after that I had a great
deal of kidney trouble. My back
was lame and it felt as though, the
muscles were all drawn up, and
stiff. My kidneys didn't act right
at all and the secretions were high
ly colored, i had to get up often
at night. Doan's Kidney Pills gave
m; a complete and laetng cure. I
now free from kidney trouble
in ^pite of my age, which is six
t" years.''
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Johnsen had. Foeter-MU

local remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly Influenced by constitutional con
