Street Railway Ordinances to be
Considered Tonight.
IeNO OF DIFFICULTY IS IN SIGHT
Measures Arc Expected to Go Through
Without Material Change, Although
Opposition Will be Offered by Sev?
eral Members.
In special session tonight tho com?
mon council will consider the street
railway ordinances, which were
recommended by Mayor nuxton and
adopted by tho board of aldermen last
Friday night. It. Is expected that the
ordinances will be adopted without
material change, und It seems prob
ablo that they will go through just as
passed by the board.
It Is known that one or two, perhaps
several, of the council uro opposed to
the measures and will make an effort
to have them held up.
IT the ordinances pass, they will be
signed by the mayor without delay
nnd the difficulties between tho city
and the Hampton Heads Traction
Company will be at an end. The com?
pany will abandon Its franchise In the
city ami, as soon ns .proper adver?
tisement can be given, the Citizens'
Hallway, Light and Power Compnny
will buy a franchise and run its
tracks to the city limits on Jefferson
avenue to connect with those of the
Hampton Roads Company coming in
front the Boulevard.
These ordinances wore presented to
the council last week, but could not
be considered at Hint time on account
of p. misunderstanding between Mayor
H'-.xton and President Jones In regard
to tho cnll for the meeting.

Hidden Dangers
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
no Newport News Citizen Can
Afford to Ignore.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes
from the kidney secretions. They will
warn you when tho kidneys arc sick.
Well kidneys excrete a clear, nmber
fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin,
pale and foamy, or n thick, red, ill
smelling urine, full of sediment and
Irregular of pnssago.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes
from tho back. Back pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and ncute, tell yon
of sick kidneys and warn you of com?
ing dropsy, diabetes and Brlght's dis?
ease. Dunn's Kidney Pills euro sick
kidneys and cure them permanently.
Here's Newport News proof:
Mrs. A. E. Hemming, wife of A. E.
Hemming, the well-known store keen?
er, of G29 Thirty-fourth street, says:
''Just when I saw Doan's Kidney Pills
advertised In the Newport News pa?
pers to cure kidney complaint in any
form, I was suffering with a dull ach?
ing In the small of my back and loins,
I had other attacks In tho past, al?
ways aggrivvatcd on tho contraction
of a cold and tho notion and condi?
tion of tho kidney secretions plainly
indicated that those organs required
attention. In fact. I was about used
up when I got a box. The remedy
proved to be just whnt 1 required.
Mr. Hemming, convinced that Doan's
Kidney Pills could be depended upon
from the benefit I received, tried the
remedy, nnd Is just as positive as I
that it is very valuable."

i SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
Q. Why Is It that glosses are
I worn now more than a few years ago?
A. Years ago the science of cor
i recting errors of sight was not under?
stood as it Is today, and only old per
: sons and those who were very near
j sighted wore glasses. Now we cor?
rect with lenses all errors of vision.
Q. Why is it that cheap glasses do
not give satisfaction?
A. Cheap glasses are mado of Infe?
rior glass nnd are faulty in construc?
tion. Optical glass, as used by us, is
I clear, brilliant and perfect, thus insur?
ing comfort and ense to the wearer.
Q. Can headaches be relieved by
glasses?
A. If you have headaches and
drugs are of little or no use, get your
eyes examined.
