A TREACHEROUS TROUBLE.

The headaches and dizzy feelings that trouble so many persons, are often but symptoms of kidney com plaint.
 Kidney diseases are very treacher- ous. They come on silently, gain ground rapidly, and cause thousands of deaths that could have been preven- tetd by treatment in the beginning.
 Nature gives early warnings of ev cry disease, If you would but note and heed them. Backache, twinges of pain when stooping or lifting. headaches, faint spells and urinary disorders are among the first warnings of kidney trouble
 If these signals are unheeded, there comes a steady, dull, heavy aching in the back and loins, a noticeable weakness and loss of flesh. rheumatic attacks. weakening of the sight, ir- regular heart action, languor, attacks of gravel, irregular passages of the kidney secretions. sediment, painful, scalding sensation, dropsical bloating, etc.
 But there is no need to suffer long. Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney troubles. This remedy has made a reputation for quick relief and lasting cures. It is a simple compound of pure roots and herbs that have a di- rect action on the kidneys. It was the secret seventy-six years ago of an old Quaker lady. It was given to the public by James Doan, druggist, and

which draw small interest can be classed with savings banks at safe and good place to let money lie until an equally reliable investment presents itself at a high rate of interest.
 In loaning money the rate Of inter- est is agreed upon by the lender and borrower of the money. Every state has certain fixed rate and interest above that is liable to be called usury, but in some states there is a certain rate allowed by contract. Montana is the only state at present where the le- gal rate of interest Is ten per cent. The average rate is six and seven per interest calculation often helps in com- putting interest on a loan.
 Rule.-Multiply the principle by as many one-hundredths as there are days, and divide as follows:
 Per cent. ... 5 6 8 g 10 12 Divide by 90 72 60 52 45 40 36 30 For example, interest on $100 for 50 days at six per cent will be 1O0x50, or 500. Dividing this by 60 equals s3; in other words, S3 and a fraction cents.

 When a woman desires to loan money with mortgage security, a safe rule to follow is never to loan over one-third to one-half of the value of the property. Personal inspection of
 
 ton should be taken to find out if the title Is clear. Some women are capa- 'ble of Investigating the records, but the majority will Go we'll to apply to lawyer or corporation whose business Is to examine real estate and abstracts. Many of these companies guarantee that if the title shall prove defective they will make good the loss. All deeds and mortgages should be placed on record in the office established by law. for delay may cause complica- tions.
 A mortgage should be acknowledged before proper officer, should contain redemption clause and should be signed and sealed Every correct mort gage describes the property minuteIy, tells where 1t is located and the time when the debt becomes due. If the amount borrowed is not paid the mort gagee at the time specified for pay ment, or if the interest has not been paid when due, the property can be foreclosed; that is, it can be sold to satisfy the debt, after certain time allowed for redemption If the prop erty brings more money than is re- quired to satisfy the debt unpaid in- terest and cost of foreclosure, the sur

plus must be paid to the owner of the property mortgaged.
 If the question of investment with no immediate gain is under consider ation, real estate may be a good means of safeguarding money. Before put ting money in land, the woman must consider that the value of land fiue- tuates,. that she must meet the yearly taxes and that 1t may be some time before she can get back the original cost with fair rate of interest The same precautions must be employed regarding the title as ih lending money on zeal estate mortgages. No one wants a defective title and the only way to ascertain is to take nothing for granted and to have the papers inves- tigated by competent person. Many people live for years In one house and never suspect until they try to sell it that the title is defective. To be ab- solutely sure is the only saIe way.
 In buying real estate, the instru- ment by which the property Is convey ed from one person to another is called a deed. Certain requisirec are neces- sary to insure it's validity, and these should be understood by all parties to the contract. They are that the person should be of proper age and sufficient understandings; that there should be a satisfactory consideration; thorough knowledge of the contents and proper ys tention to these rules will prevent law suits and this, as well as every other legal paper, should be carefully drawn up.
 Real estate may be of two kinds, improved and unimproved. As a rule, 1t is better to invest in improved real estate, because the rental of the build ing will pay taes and interest on Sthe money invested If the purchase Is care- fully made. In investing in improved real estate it is advisable to find out the condition of repair and the amounts for which 1t will rent. Fire insurance should be carried upon the buildings, so that in case of fire the loss will not be complete. This insurance can be ob- { tained for a few dollars thousand and runs ordinarily from three to ve years. Care should be taken that the insurance policy is not allowed to lapse and the premium should be paid promptly
 Farm lands should prove good in- vestment but it Is difficult for wo- man to run a farm personally, although a few have made success at this work When a farm is rented the tenant is prone to let the buildings run down and not to cultivate the lsrid properly so that it becomes impoverished A real estate agent will ordinarily look after repairs of rented houses and col- feet the rent for charge of about per cent. of the amount collected In selling property a real estate agent will demand a commission for the sale, which. of course, diminishes the amount received

INVESTMENTS FOR
 THE BUSINESS WOMAN

A Woman Should Exercise Great Care
 in Placing Her Surplus Funds--She
 should Have q Competent Legal
 Adviser Before Leaning Money
 With Mortgage Security-How to
 Insure the Validity of a Deed
 guarding Money.
 BY KATHERINE LOUISE SMITH. (Copyright 1907 by Joseph B. Bowles)
 Closely pertaining to banks and kin dred business is the investment of sur plus funds. Often a woman has money that she feels ought to be safely placed where 1t will bring a good rate of in- terest Possibly she has had some bit- ter experiences in losing money, but she feels 1t ought not to remain idle. If she puts 1t in a savings bank she will get none at all unless she buys a certificate of deposit. Many times 1t seems as if all around there were chances to make money, but she does not know how trustworthy these in- vestments are. Look before you leap" is safe motto in this case, for 1t is better to get no interest or very small per cent than to run the risk of losing ones principal.
 It goes without saying that the fun damental principle regarding the man. agement of property is to abstain from the various forms or speculation ana 10 deal entirely with established forms of investment. This is essentially so in the case of women. A man can often retrieve his fortune if he has lost it in some wildcat scheme, but women seldom make more than living at the best, and often if money Is inherited are utterly unable to replace 1t. Con- corning any investment two considera- tions are necessary. The first and im- portant one Is safety. The second is the amount of interest paid for the money.
 Broadly speaking. investments can be divided into two classes, those in- cludlng real estate and bonds and those in which money is advanced upon the promise that 1t will be returned with interest. Tn this case security is given. Tn regard to the first class of investment, the general rule is that United States bonds are safe securi- ties. These are closely followed by bonds of states, counties, towns and villages. In this last case, the past and present financial history of the state and country Is to be taken into ac- count. and the character of the people residing therein. United States bonds draw a small per cent. The per cent on state and other bonds varies. Bonds
