relief till she tried Dodd's Kidney Pills.
She says:
Very soon after l began using
Dodd's Kidney Pills all my aches and
pains vanished like the morning dew,
l consider this remedy a God-send to
suffering womanhOod."
Encouraged by their success in her
own case, Mrs. Keys induced her
mother, an old lady of "a years, to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills for her many
aches and pains. Now both mother
and daughter rejoice in perfect freedom
from illness or suffering which is some
thing neither had enjoyed for years

The Camera in the Poultry Yard.

A writer in Farm-Poultry writes in
terestingly of the value of camera
to poultry man. He thinks it would
pay any poultry man who breeds
thoroughbred stock to sell to own a
camera and acquire some skill in using
It, for while taking pictures is not all
plain sailing, the possession of Il
camera and some interest put into
work with it opens up possibilities Of
occasional good pictures which amply
repay one for the effort and for the
failures. One soon finds that the
tamest fowls are the most uneasy and
unreliable posers. If one is working
with his own birds, or if he has OPP
portunity to use the same subject fire.
quently, he will find that some fowls
can quickly and easily be taught to
pose, and learn to know just what is
wanted of them. White birds are the
best subjects, with black ones success
is rarer, and with black, red and buff
fowls good results are hard to get
with ordinary plates
