The money will be used by

the counties for the maintenance of

roads. Many Make- Iaqutrlea. Secretary of State Klllngham is receiving daily inquirit-4 as to the details of the new law. While all automobiles and chauffeur's must be li

BACKACHE A WARNING ALL SHOULD HEED

It Is One of the First Signs - of Kidney Troubles, if Neglected Serious Diseases Follow. , No one can be well and healthy unless the kidneys work properly and keep the blood pure. When they become clogged up and inactive, nature has a way of warning you. Backache is one of the first symptoms. You. may also'be troubled with disagreeable, annoying bladder disorders; have attacks of lumbago or rheumatism; become nervous, tired, and feel all worn-out; puffy swellings show under the eyes or in the feet and ankles; and many other symptoms are noticed. If they are neglected, dropsy, diabetes, or Brlght's disease, which so often prove fotal, may result. It is not only dangerous, but needless for you to suffer and endure the tortures of these troubles, for the new discovery, Croxone, quickly and surely ends all such misery. There is no more effective remeiy known for the prompt cure of all such ; troubles than this new, scientific prep- ' aratlon. because it removes the cause. It soaks right into the kidneys, through the walls and linings; cleans out the clogged up pores; neutralizes and dissolves the poisonous uric acid ' and waste matter that lodge in the Joints and muscles and cause those terrible rheumatic pains, and makes the kidneys filter and sift the poison out of the blood and drive It from the sys- ' tern. x You will find Croxone different from all other remedies. There Is nothing else on earth like it. It is so prepared that It is practically Impossible to take It into the human system without results. You can secure an original package f Croxone at trifling cost from any first-class drag store. All druggists are authorized to personally return the purchase price If Croxone should fail In a single case. Thrw doses a day for a few days Is often all that Is ever Deeded to cure the worst backache, relive rheumatfc pains, or overcome urln ry disorders,

The Calumet river at South Chicago is to have a new, modern, fireproof elevator, one of the finest on the river according tolevator men and others who keep an eagle eye on the developments , along he Calumet. . The site Is to be 6n the west side, near the 95th street bridge, on the ground where the "TJttle Calumet" elevator once stood. The 'Ljttle Calumet" was destroyed by tire several years ago, and the Kosenbaum drain company is said to have come into possession of the property and is planning the erection of one of the finest elevators on the river and one of the largest and most modern granaries in the Chicago district. Already a force of men is at work blasting out the ruins of the old eleator and clearing off the ground. Great secrecy pervades their operations, but, it is said, among those who ought to be in a position to know, that the next year will see a new elevator on that site.

HAD SERIOUS LUNG

TROUBLE NOW WELL Somehow there exists a vast amount of scepticism as to th possibilltyof curing Consumption. We state none but facts, and are sincere in what we assert. If we were afflicted with Tuberculosis, we should do precisely what we ask others to do take Eckman's Al

terative promptly and faithfully. The

reason we should do this and warrant we have for asking all Consumptives to take It, Is that we have the reports of many recoveries, one of which follows: 1(!19 Susquehanna Ave.. Phlla., Pa. "Gentlemen; For two years I was afflicted with hemorrhages of the lungs, the number totaled nearly one hundred. Our family physician advised another climate, as to remain would nrobablv

be fatal. However. I remained, and in

i-eoruary or lU2, I was taken with a severe attack of pneumonia. When I recovered sufficiently to walk about the house I was left with a frightful hacking cough, which no medicine I had taken could alleviate. It was at this time. March. 1902. that I learned of and started taking Eckman's Alterative. In

a short time my cough was gone and I

was pronounced well. Since that time I have had two slight attacks of pneumonia and I have resorted to no other medicine to effect a recovery. 'I am at present in excellent health and feel as long as I can obtain Eckman's Alterative. I have no fear of Consumption. I cannot speak too highly for the good it has done." f Signed) HOWARD L.

Congestion Getting Worse. "There are but 12,000,000 Jews in the world," said Manager Seman. "Of this

number 1,260,000 are in New York City alone. The congestion was so great and is getting worse as a matter of

The play has a burglar seene that promises a thrill to any theatre-goer, and a story of such Interest as to hold the attention of all. This story is concerned with the love and adventures of a certain young clubman, gracefully played by Barrymore. He wagers with a fellow club member that It would be the easiest thing in the world for him to burglarize any house, the wager Is accepted, and the amateur burglar fares forth. Later he breaks into the house of "Big Phil" Greedon, who is the deputy police commissioner and also the father of Motile Greedon, the girl who already has stolen the heart of the amateur thief. There he encounters '"Spike"

Mulllns, a real thing in the burglar line, and they have an exciting encounter, and more excitement comes when Mollie appears on the scene, armed with a revolver, and sternly stands the two robbers against the wall while she summons her father.
