Enthusiastically endorse Doan's Kidney
Pills today as did nearly three years
ago. Thev relieved me of kidney trouble
which had bothered me for a consider

waited by colds which settled in the back
and lolns and caused an awful lameness.
This was my condition when / began
taking Doan's Kidney Pills. THIS rem
edy banished the backache and pains
through the loins, regulated the kidney
secretions and removed every symptom
of the trouble, From that day to this

With the toughest and poorest Of six
inch fence boards costing from $24 to
$50 per thousand feet, depending some
what upon locality, the question of u
future lumber supply for the construc-
tion of the rougher farm buildings be-
comes one of ever increasing interest
and Importance. Where a rapid grow
ing and good trunked tree is desired,
one from which lumber can be sawed
at the end of twenty-five to twenty-six
years, the cottonwood cannot be sur
passed. 1t does especially well on wet
soils and makes a good showing on all
but the driest. Twenty years from
now ten acre grove of cottonwoods
set this spring and given proper care
ought to be worth close to $4,000. 1t
takes faith to SOW for so distant a reap
Ing as this, but it is beyond question
worth while.

The alcohol potato, variety which
contains about four times the alcohol
producing capacity of the ordinary va
riety and which was discovered by
Professor Hansen ON one of his recent
tours of exploration, is to be distrlb-
uted among a number of experiment
stations where it can be grown under
conditions which will insure its rapid
multiplication, from which points 1t
will later be given a more general dis
trlbution. If the denatured alcohol bill
is altered so as to permit of the estab-
lishment Of smaller plants than at
present allowed, this new potato will
be a most valuable addition to our
present list of alcohol producing plants
and will exert potent influence on
heating and motor power problems.
