Spring grain shows a great i'm

Before that time the spring sown
ggrain was not showing a satisfactory
growth, and a decided improvement
is manifest since the timely and sea-

spring grain, which constitutes a
good proportion of the crop of this
section this season, will make a big
crop.
There was considerably more than
an inch of rainfall here during Sat
urday and Sunday, and reports fiom
other sections in this locality indicate
that the rain was general throughout
this district. The downpour was
steady, although not heavy, and
practically all OF 1t went into the

the stealthy approach OF diabetes,
dropsy and Bright's disease. Doan's
Kidney Fills permanently cure all
these disorders. Here's proof Of 1t in
n Pendeton woman's words:
Mrs. d. Coffman, Of 221 Stonewall
Jackson street, Pendleton. Ore, says:
"I was having considerable trouble
from irritating throbbing pains across
the back, think caused by failure of
the kidneys to perform their proper
functions and aggravated by cold set
tling in my back. knew about Doan's
Kidney Pills and went to the Pendle-
ton Drug Co.'S store and procured a
box. They helped me from the start
and In q short time not a pain or an
ache remained. Ny kidneys were
toned up and I felt better in every
way. I know others who had the
same satisfactory experience which
leaves no doubt in my mind about the
curative powers Of Doan's Kidney
Pills"
