The richer the field is the thicker may
be the corn planted. Barren stalks are
more the result of soil starvation than
a decrepit ancestry.

This is the very latest: A farmers
wife took some nice looking rolls Of
butter to town and sold it to the village
storekeeper. After making the rolls she
scooped out the center and filed the
space with water, closed up the hole
and led the butter where 1t would
freeze up. Such ingenuity deserved a
better subject. She lost her patron and
her reputation just for the paltry gain
Of half dollar or so.

Last years crop Of winter wheat in
western Kansas was a marvellous one
In this midwinter time it lies by the
millions Of bushels in great piles at
country depot grounds, wholly exposed
to the weather, awaiting the time, If it
ever comes, when the overtaxed rail
roads can haul it to market. And this,
too. right in what was known only a
few years ago as the great American
desert.

Now here is the unfortunate case Of
the trusted hired man running off with
the fourteen-year-old daughter Of his
employer, case which should set some
folks we know of to thinking pretty
hard. This invasion and wrecking of
home is one thing to be carefully
guarded against, for girls are often
weak and vain and hired men unscru-
pulous villains. The old man should
always keep weather eye on the hired
man in this line.

While manifesting the utmost conf
dence in the honor of the men with
whom you do business, it is still best
never to forget that we are all poor
critters and liable to fall into tempta-
ton, and SO it is best to do all business
with due regard for all the safeguards
which law and custom suggest. This
applies just as much in making horse
trade with parson as in signing pa
pers for a stranger.

the leading colleges have football
competitions scheduled for today, but,
as is customary in the early games
of the season, the big teams will
meet weaker opponents, the matches
being virtually practice games for
the heavier contests few weeks
later. Princeton opens it's season
with Dickinson at Princeton, and
Yale begins it's schedule with Wes-

Franklin and Marshall play in this
city, and Pennsylvania plays Swarth-

during the fair from october 3 to 0.
All the railroads leading into Spokane
have given much better rates this
year than for several years. The
Farming communities have been pros
porous, and harvest Is about over,
For these reasons it Is believed the
attendance at the fair this year will
far exceed that of any previous year.
The fair Itself will be much better
in all its departments.

very evenly matched. McGovern ex-
presses confidence in his ability to
put out the New Yorker, which

do, and as Murphy is also confident
of the result, there will. no doubt,
be a very pretty battle.

WATCH THE URINE.
Kidney diseases are not always
painful in the early stages. They
frequently gain ground before the
victim knows of their existence.
But an examination of the urine
will always tell Of the existence Of
any form Of kidney trouble.
Allow a quantity Of urine to stand
in the vessel for "a hours. If any of
the following symptoms appear, the
kidneys are diseased:
Brick-dust sediment; whitish,
cloudy or stringy settlement; offens-
i've odor; high reddish color. or very
pale, watery appearance; oily scum
on the surface.
Other urinary symptoms are too
free or too scanty a flow: frequent

Nothing more irritating than con-
slant backache--that dull, heavy
throb. which bothers you all day and
prevents sound sleep at night.
Backache makes you fretful and
nervous-keeps you ION edge" all the
time. 1t carves plain lines in the
face, and ruins a cheerful DISPOSE
tion.
Don't mistake the cause of back
ache. Overwork might tire your
back, but should not make 1t ache
and pain and throb. A man or woman
with healthy kidneys can work hard,
rest and sleep, and be ready to work
hard again.
Backache is kidney ache. 1t tells
you of an inf1amed or congested con-
dition of the kidneys. brought on by
a cold, strain on the back, or per-
haps some other slight cause.
The danger is that kidney con-
gestion never relieves itself and it SO
disturbs the blOod-filtering processes
of the kidneys that uric acid and
other poisons collect in the blood.
These poisons should pass off in
the urine, but instead are carried by
the blood to every part of the body
and cause painful and fatal dis
eases.
Health can only be restored by
restoring the kidneys to health. This
can only be done with a kidney medi-
cine.
