AN EVERYDAY STRUGGLE.

Any work that is consta- strain on the back Is bound to hurt the kid neys. The lifting, digging and plant ing of farp work, the constant bend ing over desk or sitting at sewing machine, working for hours on Jarring, jolting wagons or railroad trains; the stopped positions and the reaching, pulling and heavy lifting of hundred different trades-all these are hard on the back and must wear, weaken and injure the kidneys. because the kid neys are in the very part of the back that feels the strain. When the kid neys are sick, every exertion sends a sharp, stinging pain through the back or loins, and you are weary and tired all the time.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have cured thou sands of working men and women have given them strong backs :or their daily work. Doan's Kidney Pills help the kidneys to do their duty-to elim- inate the liquid ooisons from the blood and to send pure, health-giving blood to the muscles and organs. We would sincerely advise every man or woman whose work is hard jon the back to take an occasional dose of Doan's Kid ney Pills. It will keep the kidneys we'll and the back strong, and keeping the kidneys well Is half the task of keeping the body well.

Stranded in China with only an al

enough rice to sustain life, is the ex-
perience Zion City girl is undergoing

fortune overlook her family and re-
duced their income 50 they now have

been an exile in a land where white

her sole means Of support has been
the contribution of $40 month from a
girl friend in Chicago, who is herself
earning only $50 month.
