The way to be we'll is to pay attention
to your kidneys.
They are theIuost important organs
of the body-the blood filters.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys once every three
minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the
impurities in the blood-that is their
work.
Purifying your blood is not 4 ques-
ton of taking 4 laxative of physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the p%oisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the P~oisons which are al
ready in your blood, causing your pres
cnt sickness. it leaves there.
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means of your
kidneys.
That is why bowel-cleanars fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kid
neys.
When you are sick. then. no matter

to afford aid to your kidneys by using

ing of Wa.ertown and a married sister Of
these three brothers who lives in Denver,
have procured sufficient evidence to render
1t certain that they are the heirs of an uncle
who died about six years ago in the Lost
River region of Idaho, and whose estate,
valued at about $4,000, was about to be
turned into the school fund of that state
because the heirs of the deceased could not
be located.
Had it not been for a fortunate circum-
stance the money would have been lost to
the heirs. About three weeks ago, while
James F. Heating, the GAINESVILLE heir, was
travelling in the Lost River country in Ida
no, he met q stranger who informed him
that he closely rcsembled a Heating who
died about six years ago in that district,
leaving an unclaimed fortune. The nus
band of the sister living at Denveri is prom
incnt i'm the business and social circles of
that city and through him and Denver at

lished to prove that the man who died in

Proper steps lave been taken to legally
prove the claim of the heirs to the estate.

Asylum Fire.

Legislature Feb. Is In regard to the Yank-
ton Asylum. It relates to the circum-
stances surrounding the holocaust. The
names Of victims are given, and the theory
is credited that the fire originated in the
lint which wa sticking to the steampipes.
The message places no serious blame on
anyone for the terrible results, although il
appears that Mrs. P0risOn lost her presence
Of mind and failed to open the
door to permit patients from one floor
to escape. and it is suggested that
a patrol should have been maintained.
He shows no disposition to find fault,
but believes the state to be mainly respon-
sible for not having erected a fire proof
building, which could have been done at
an advanced cost of not to exceed 10 per
cent. The State has lost in twelve years
$16S,OO0 worth of buildings by fire, and
during the last year, at PlankintOn and
fankton, $4,000 worth Of property and
twenty-fOur lives. The loss in money
would pay the insurance for a long term of
years, and insurance is recommended. II
private companies are 0tth0ught desirable,
a fund Of 100000 might be set aside as a
funi to pay fire losses. The Governor in
