William Lane, living at south of
Baker City, Ore, says: 1.-THE use of
one box of Doan's Kidney Pills, pro-
cured was SUFFICIENT to convince me
that there is nothing to equal this
remedy for curing backache and kid

lumber all day long and exposure to
bad weather seemed to affect my kid

I could not rest well at night. feeling
tired out and LAME in the morning

LABOR IN MISSISSIPPI
Help Wanted by Lumbermen, Con- tractors and Employment Bureaus
 Inducements Being Offered.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. S.-Railroad contractors, lumber manufacturers and all large employers of labor are still crying for more help and wages are being offered that were not dreamt of few years ago. notwithstanding the fact that cotton planters ill the swamps are offering exceptional in- ducements to negro tenants the usual migration to the delta has started. A few days ago the labOrers of one of the lumber mills on the Ship ls- land road struck for higher pay, the daily wage of the cOmmop laborers being $225 and the manager knowing the great scarcity of laborers in the district promptly advanced he wages to $2.50, when work was resumed. Though the Mississippi Immigration League is doing all in it's power to deal with the situation, it is thought there can be no relief for ten months at least.
