A Professional Nurse tells her experience
with Doan's Kidney Pills.
Montague. Ms

Montague, Mass.
FOSTER-MILBURN CO., Buffalo, N. Y.
Gentlemen,-I heartily wish those
who are suffering from backache and
disturbed action of the kidneys would
try Doan's Kidney Pills. AS was the
case with me, they will be more than
surprised with the results. l have been
troubled for years with my spine. l
could not lie on either side. Spinal
cramps would follow, and words could
not explain the agony which I would
endure. While in these cramps l could
not speak or move, but by making
a great effort after the cramp bad
left me l could begin to speak and
move "a little, but my whole back was
SO sore and lame that | could not even
have my back bathed for some time.
My nerves were in a terrible state. |
would rather sit up at night than go
to bed, dreading the cramps and the
terrible backaches. I consulted physi-
clans, but got only a little relief for the
time being, Seeing your advertisement,
my mother urged me to try Doan's
Kidney Pills. After using one box
was better, and have ever since been
on the gain. I have no backache and
no cramps now, and feel like a new
person. My nerves are better and !
know my blood is purer. Words can
not express my thanks to you fok what
Doan's Kidney Pills have done for me,
In my work as professional nurse |
have a chance to recommend them;
and they did me SO much good that ]
will do so on every possible occasion.

GOOD PAY.
Cattle Bdyers for the Big Packing
Houses May Well BE Termed
Kings Of the Stock Yards.

Some of the cattle buyers Of the big
slaughter houses receive as salaries
from $4,000 to Sill 5000 per year, and
some, it is said, as high as $25, 900 per
year. The cattle buyer cannot hope to
command such a salary at one jump, re-
marks our sprightly little contempo-
rary, the Arizona Cattleman. He must
advance gradually and demonstrate that
he is earning his money each day. A
daily account and record i tkept with him.
He buys a bunch of steers, they are
slaughtered, and he is furnished each
day with a report showing just what
they cost his company net. If he pays
too much, they are dear, and he must
explain the why's and wherefores. Many
mistakes and bad judgment are not
necessary before he is advised that his
services are dispensed with. He must
be able to judge the amount On the hoof,
know what it will kill out, and that he
made the purchase at the lowest price
and with a good profit to the company.
He cannot equal up, his purchases for
a day make a bargain on one bunch and
pay too much for the other. The system
is complete and exacting; each purchase
must speak for itself-each tub must
stand on its own bottom.-Midland

DR.. Ranke, of the German Anthro.
biological society, recently undertook
to describe the physical characteristics
of the earliest men, as ascertained from
the examination of prehistoric graves.
They were of a yellowish color, he said,
and had coarse hair. Their heads were
peculiarly shaped, the part of the skull
which contains the brain being
large relatively to the face, while the
face was small. They had other pc
culiarities, among which was the rudi-
mentary or undeveloped condition of
the third molar, or back grinder tooth.
The doctor believes that the first men
originated in Asia. - Youths Com

THE READING CURE.
Books as Medicine In Cases of
Mental Distress.

Mental Distress.
One could wish that the doctor of
medicine occasionally called in the
doctor of letters in cases Of mental
distress. There is a tonic quality in
books, properly chosen, which is as
beneficent to the mind as change Of
scene or doses Of fat water. People
do not realize that the shortest way
from the quagmire Of the modern I'M
rest is total forgetfulness of self, and
few know that the healthiest nepenthe
is to be found in reading. The word
disease signifies the negation of ease,
and most forms of neurOtic sickness
are a deliberate effort on the part Of
the invalid to make himself uneasy.
If doctors were to prescribe a course
Of Cervantes or Moliere or Balzac or
Sterne or Dickens or even Shakespeare
and as strictly enjosn thorouGhncss i'll
this course as they Would if the treat
ment were a matter of diet or NeIi-
cine, many of their patients woG,d be
gin to mend from the first moment that
these magicians had given them Il for
getfulness of self. 1t is true that Poe
declares in the Raven" ''vainly l had
sought to borrow from my books sur
cease of sorrow" but the opinion of
the world is overwhelmingly against
him. Good reading is a forgetfulness
Of cares, and, by the same token, it is
an education in all those qualities
which make life sweet and greatly to
be desired. It is the valetudinarian
who most constantly tells one, petu-
lantly enough, that he never reads

A LOUD WHISPER.
1T Came From n Gun That IA Sentry
Forgot Was Cooked.

Forgot Was Cooked.
During the Mexican war, in 1916,
Captain Kenly received orders from
General Quitman to march with a
guard to a ford in the Santander river
and prevent it's passage by the Next
cans. He reached the place, posted his
men with strict injunctions against be-
traying their presence and took his
position ON the bank where he could
overlook the ford
Suddenly there came the report of
a gun, fired by one Of his sentries.
Captain Kenly ran to the place, hav-
ing seen no enemy, and found the SEN
try, a Georgian, coolly reloading his
muSket
''How dare you fire your gun?' ex-
claimed the angry captain. 1.-THE whole
division will be aroused"
Even as he spoke the long roll of the
drums came floating down the wind.
The sentry saw plainly enough the
trouble he had got into, but he an
swered:
"Well, captain, you see 1 was SO
tired and sleepy that to keep myself
awake 1 kept pointing my gun at a
duck saw on the river, and l thought
how I would like to whisper to it, and,
hang 1t, 1 forgot the gun was cooked
and away she went"
The man escaped with sharp repri-
mand from General Quitman, who sent
him word that if he ever Whispered
again without orders it would be all
over with him.
