4 Little Sound Advice Will Help
 Waiy Sufferer ill Pine Bluif.

Nc woman can be healthy and we'll ii the kidneys are sick. Pois- lps that pass off in the 1riue when the kidneys are we'll are retained in the body when the kidneys are sick. Kidneys and bladder get inHamed and swollen, croWdinS the delicate female organs nearby and sometimes displacing them. Thls is the true cause of many bearing down pains, lameness, backache, side ache, etc. Uric poisoning also caus- es headaches, dizzy spells, languor' nervousness and rheumatic pain.
 When suffering SD, try Doan's kld- ney Pills, the remedy that cures SICK kidneys. You will get better as the kidneys get better and health will re- turn when the kidneys are we'll. Let a Pine Bluff woman tell you about Doans Kidney Pills.
 Mrs. C. F.. Fisher of 17oo East Sixth avenue, Pine Bluff, Ark, says: ! Tn endorse the statement 1 made about Doan's Pills some years ago zIkith the greatest of pleasure. l TAed them for pain and weakness Ill 1Hv back, accompanied with other IT, regularities of the kidneys and they did me world of good, relieving the pain and eradicatih hg the poisons from my system. I cah also recommend Doans Ointment as a splendid reme- ay. My little girIs used it after trying seNeIa< other rem edies for the same purpose, and until l got Doan's Ointment at the Mann -Tankersley drug store, she found nothing to give her as much relief. This preparation healed the sores in a short time. am glad to recommend both Doan's Kidney Pills and Doans Ointment. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

cN1xF HANDSOME ELK OF THE CROW TRIPk amusement The stock parade was grand success, and the first prize was awarded to Takes s-the-Gun. Mrs. Pret- ty Antelope won the first prize for meals and table, and the first prize for . well kept tepee went to Mrs. Joseph Stewart Both these dusky ladies are full blood Indians, and neither has been to school or can speak a word Of Eng lish. Takes-the-Gun brought in as his exhibit a load of fine corn. grain, mel ons, pumpkins, sQuashes and other veg etables. Bird Horse had an equally ane outfit and drove a splendid four horse team of bays. Pigs and chick ens were an interesting feature at the fair. There was big industrial pa rade, in which nearly all the Indians 1oined, driving all kinds of farming outfits. The Indians who obtained pre- miums were required to own their out Ats and to have paid for them by their own efforts.
 The beet sugar industry. which is of such growing importance in the west, is one in which the red man takes much interest and to which he is we'll adapted. An average red man does not like to work alone Sugar beet culture has an attraction for him above most other forms of agriculture because 1t affords employment for his whole family at once. The wife and children, who are such large factors in his life, can work in the beet fields side by side with him, and even the little papoose can be taught to weed the rows. just as the pickaninny in the south can be used as cotton pick CT. It is for such reasons, as Mr. Leupp puts it. that "the Indian takes to beet farming as naturally as the Italian takes to art or the German to science"
 Railroad construction is another branch of work in which the red men have proved good laborers Railroad builders know the Indians as workers lnd are ready to pay them the white mans wages. The Indians are strong, silent and, as one railroad boss puts 1t, "have not yet learned to loaf when the boss back is turned"

 is dead Indian. The annual report of the commissioner of Indian affairs, Francis F. Leupp, gives some facts that show what many of the Indians are accomplishing as farmers or work CTS ill other branches of labor. Among the most industrious of the red men of the west are the Crow Indians of Mon- tana, whose agricultural fair has now become a regular annual institution. The Crows are not now drawing "a tions from the government and have not been for two years. \ good part of them seem really to believe that people ought to work for what they enjoy of the good things of life. The progress they have made is in part due to the intelligence displayed by the govern mental agents having to do with them. The latter have proceeded on the the0- ry that the best place to train an h. dian to habits of industry and produc tiveness is at his own home and on his own land. The fair the Crows held the past autumn Is pretty good proof of the wisdom of this plan. It was al together an Indian enterprise Each Crow brought his own exhibit, and there was as much interest in the com petition between growers of tall corn and big vegetables, fat pigs and goo1 breeds of stock, as was ever shown in q hunt or war dance.
