A DANGEROUS MISTAKE.
North Dakota Mothers Should Not Neglect
Kidney Weaknesses in Children.

Most children have weak kidneys,
The earliest warning is bed-wetting.
Later comes backache, headache, languor.
It's a mistake to neglect these troubles.
To blame the child for it's own distress.
Seek to cure the kidneys
Save the child from deadly kidney ills.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys.
Mrs. Christine Lawrence, of 10 Ninth
Street, south, Fargo, N. d., says: II
would not endorse any remedy unless
my own experience with it fully justified
in doing so. Doan's Kidney Pills which
l had procured at a drug store have
amply earned their endorsement by our
family. Two OF the children we're
troubled with nocturnal weakness of the
kidneys, and through the use Of Doan's
Kidney Pills found entire freedom from
that complaint. The remedy toned up
and strengthened the kidneys to a
normal condition. / know other cases
in which Doan's Kidney Pills have done
the same fine work especially after other
medicines had failed.'

What He Needed.

Employed In one of the largest iron
foundries in Baltimore there is a man
who has a wooden leg. None Of his
fellow workers, however, knew Of this
until recently, so perfectly did the ar
tifcial support take the place of the
missing member.
One day not very long ago something
happened to the betting In the machine
shop. Being an expert mechanic, this
man was sent to repair the break. He
climbed up a high ladder with as much
grace and agility as could any man
with two perfectly sound legs. But
while busily engaged on the betting
the ladder slipped from under him,
and, with a crash, man and ladder
landed in q heap on the floor.
The mans head struck against a
piece of machinery. and he was rem
dered unconscious. Some n tele-
phoned for a doctor. Before the physi-
clan arrived the injured workman re-
gained consciousness. He did not
make any attempt to get up, however,
but simply ~ on the floor with one
Of his legs tcubled up under him.
Then the physician came and made a
hasty examination. He pulled the bent
limb from under the man, Strengthened
it out, took one long look and, turn
ing to those gathered round, said
gravely:
"This is no case for me, gentlemen.

Ownership Of The Ok.

The head of the amalgamated
trust having been elected to the
United States Senate and fairly
onto the Senatorial ropes, re-
turned home to look after some
private business affairs. While
sitting in his Office he was in
formed that a delegation from

He gave instructions that the del
egation be admitted.
We'll, what can | do for you:'
he asked.
We have come to ask for an
increase of wages" said the
spokesman. The cost of living
has increased 81 per cent and we
find ourselves unable to provide
for our families with our present
wage"
This * unreasonable. gentle
men. We are already paying all
we can afford. | must refuse

Then, sir, we will have to
strike. We can endure this sit
uation no longer"
Strike Why this is an out
rage, right in our busy season.
1t will spell ruin for the com
pany"
But we might as well starye
idle as starve WORKING said the
spokesman.
This is anarchy" sputtered
the senatorial manager. 1T is
an outrage. Your demand for
an increase is unreasonable. You
should ecOnOmlze.
But the delegation walked out
to report to the men. No sooner
had they disappeared than IA tel
egram was handed the Senator.
On reading it he ordered his val
ct to pack his grip.
Il must hurry back to Wash
ington," he explained to the di-
rectors. THE bill to increase
our salaries 30 per cent is com
ing up for a vote and | must hur-
ny back and support it. The
cost of living in Washington has
increased so much it is no longer
possible for Senator or Repre-
sentative to meet living expenses

have the workingmen enjoined
and a request sent to the govern

struck and the well, from which

rious set-ba for Amarillo be-
