When the kidneys are sick.
Nature tells you all about it.
The urine is natures calendar.
Infrequent or too frequent action,
Any urinary trouble, tells OF kidney
ills.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney
ills.
Owosso people testify to this.
Mrs. r. Smith, of Rowley street, says:
"There was constant pain in my loins
and kidneys. AS long as sat perfectly
still felt easier, but when attempted
to get up it was terrible. l could not
sleep well nights and felt tired and unre-
freshed in the mornings. The kidney
secretions were too frequent, very dis
tressing, and on standing for short
time deposited heavy sediment. had
often seen Doan's Kidney Pills highly
recommended by those who had used
them. and as was very bad at the time

them. I felt relief right away and con-

and she is often the bread-winner of
the family. Whether she is sick or
well, whether it rains or shines, she
must get to her place of employment,
perform the duties exacted of her
smile and be agreeable.
/ Among this class the symptoms Of
female diseases are early manifest by
weak and aching backs, pain in the
lower limbs and lower part of the
stomach. In consequence of frequent
wetting of the feet, periods become
painful and irregular, and frequently
there are faint and dizzy spells, with
loss of appetite, until life is burden.
All these symptoms point to a de-
rangement of the female organism
which can be easily and promptly
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound.
Miss Abby F. Barrows, Jacksonville,
Athens Co., Ohio, tells what this great
medicine did for her. She writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham -
81 feel it my duty to tell you the good
Lydia Z. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound
and Blood Purifier have done for me- Before
I took them / was very nervous, had dull
headaches, pains in back, and periods were
irregular, had been to several doctors, and
they did me no good.
"Your medicine has made me we'll and
strong. can do most any kind of work
without complaint, and my periods are all
right
~ am in better health than ever was,
and know It is all due to your remedies. /
recommend your advice and medicine to all
who suffer-"
1t is to such girls that Mrs. Pink
ham holds out a helping hand and ex-
tends cordial invitation to correspond
with her. She is daughter-in-law of
Lydia e. Pinkham and for twenty five
years has been advising sick women
free of charge. Her long record of
success in treating woman's ills makes
her letters of advice of untold value to
every ailing working girl. Address,

Eskimo children, however, are by no
means lacking in merriment. They
have their games, quite different from
ours, yet played with just as much
zest. One of their ~favOrite games is
football. though they play 1t in Il
ner quite different from the American

deerskin breaches worn by all. Some
times they tumble over and go down

injury to their little bodies, owing to
the remarkable thickness and sOftness
Of their garments.
Sometimes the Eskimo men step out

The Eskimo children, except at ~
or two points in Alaska, go to no
school. But from their infancy they
are schOoled in the various items of
daily labor which it is necessary for all
Of them to know. They learn how to
gather and dry moss, to catch the scant
driftwOOd that comes their way and to
extract blubber. These three things
are their only fuel. The boys learn
how to fish and hunt and the girls, in
a crude way, how to cook. One Of the
chief duties of the women is to tend
the soapstone lamps, which both light
and heat the huts in which the Eski-
mos live. These must be well fed with
hunks of blubber. The little girls
learn lamp tending when they are
scarcely old enough to toddle.
Later they become proficient in the
curing of walrus meats and the drying
of fish. The girls also learn how to
prepare the feathered skins of certain
birds for fashioning into soft and com.

In late years the Christmas tree has

KEEP THE CLOCK FAST.
a suggestion That May Prove Of
Value In the Home.

NaA8E tAG AhoAacs
In one of the best known hotels in
this country there Is a clock In almost
every room In the great building. Each
one OF these timepieces is run by cleo
tricity, which keeps them at precisely
me same hour. minute and second of
the clock In the main corridor. Not
one OF them, however, IL compared
with accurate railroad time, but shows
Its hands pointing just five minutes
ahead Of the exact hour.
It Is trick which has been tried In
this hotel for a number of years for
the benefit of patrons as well as for
the many hundred employees, and 1t
has worked with admirable results
The missing of trains and hardness of
service alike are unknown in this well
ordered hostelry, and simple subter-
fuge has developed into q most prac-
teal working system.
This little trick somehow seems TO
have practical value In the home as
well as in the public hotel, and 1t can
be applied equally as we'll in the mat
ter or morals, money and manners as
In the matter of time.
How would it be, for instance, IL the
clocks all through the home were kept
five minutes fast. not the actual time
pieces. but the machinery which keeps
family life running? Suppose the break
fast every morning was ready five min
utes before instead of five minutes aft
er the working members OF the house
hold sat down at the table. 1t is more
likely than not that father and broth
ers and sisters would leave the house
In plenty of time TO reach their offices
