Women's Woes.
Coenecticut Women Are Finding Re-
 lief At Last.

It does seem that women have more than fair share of the aches and pains that afllict humanity, they must "keep up," must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs. or headaches. dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. They must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches and kidney ills, Kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ or the body. Keep the kidneys we'll and health is easily maintained. Read of a remedy for kidneys only, that helps and cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people you know.
 Mrs Selina Jones of 200 Main St., Ansonia, Conn.,, says: ''I think if 1t had not been for Doan's Kidney Pills l would not be alive to-day. Seven years ago l was in such bad condition with pains and aches across my back and other weakness that was obliged to keep to my room, and was at times confined to my bed for six weeks before I could get around. Seeing Doan's Kid ney Pills advertised l began taking them and inside of a week the terrific backache, pains and soreness across the Ioins and the headaches had vanished as we'll as the feeling of general weak ness and languor. The kidney weak ness was also corrected and the dizzy spells had disappeared. l strongly en- dorse the claims made for Doan's Kid ney Pills"

' Weak
 Kidneys

Weak Kidneys, surely point to weak kidney Nerves. The Kidneys like the Heart and the Stomach, find their weakness, not in the organ itself, but in the nerves that control and guide and strengthen them. Dr. Shoop's Restorative is . medicine specifically prepared to reach these controlling nerves. To doctor the Kidneys alone, is futile. It is waste of time, and of money as we'll.
 If your back aches or is weak. if the urine scalds or dark and strong. if you have symptoms of Brights or other distressing or dangerous kid ney disease, try Dr. Shoops Restorative month Tablets or Liquid-and see what 1t can and will do for you. Druggist recommend and sell

Stop that pressure with Dr Shops Headache Tablets and pain is instantly gone. 20 tablets 25c. Sold .by all dealers.

The dots indicate the spouts to con-
vey water from the bitches TO the
land. Spouts may also be used to drain
water from the tracts above, into the
cross bitches, but should be placed
little higher than the spouts on the
lower side. With field arranged like
the diagram irrigation consists in rails
ing and lowering headgates.
The surplus water on the field will be
caught up in a cross ditch, third of
the way down the field, and may be
used to water the central part Of the
field, or allowed to waste in the ditch
on the west, or if 1t is desired to water
the middle or lower parts of the field
the water can be turned down the
ditch to the east, and forced into either
cross ditch as desired, and the water
confined to the land intended to be
watered.
If field cannot be properly laid out
without the services of an engineer
it will be much cheaper to get one
than to try to get along in slipshod
manner by attempting to drive the
water where you want 1t with shovel.
Irrigating Is easy where the bitches
are properly laid out. Where they are
not, II is slavery.

IPRIGATION

sides of the bitches to take the water
from the ditch to the corrugations.
One spout will supply two corruga-
tions. These spouts should be placed
in the side of the ditch, about one inch
or so below the water level when the
gates are closed. For instance, say
the fall is two feet to the half mile,
and your ditch eighteen inches deep.
If gate were put in at the lower end
of the ditch it would back water up
only three-fourths along or across the
field. But begin about two hundred
yards from the upper end of the ditch,
and put in gate that can be raised
and lowered, but not quite so high as
the banks of the DITCH SO that the
water will run over the headgate in
stead of the entertainments. By clos
ing this gate it will back the water up,
and leave a water line, showing where
to place the spouts. Further down,
put in another gate, or as many as
are required. The greater the fall the
more gates required. When you want
water, close the gates and raise the
water above the spouts. When
through raise the gates, the water
level falls, and the water passes harm
lessly away. When bitches are con-
structed this way it is a pleasure to
irrigate and requires little time.
In preparing ground for irrigation
(for permanent fields) do it right.
Made right once, it is always right.
If no more than ten acres can be pre-
pared in one year, do it right, because
it will pay in the long run. Have your
DIV ic
from knobs, with slope. Water can
not be made to run up hill. Ii the
slope is too great, run the cOrrugatiOns
around the slope in steep places, or
parallel with the ditch as near as may
be necessary, instead of from it.
fall of an inch to rod makes good
flow for corrugations. When the land
is quite level do not flow the water
too far, but catch UP in other bitches
and begin quite anew, because the up
per part of the field will become too
wet before the lower part has water
enough. If the land has a good fall it
will run a quarter of a mile without
injury. If it is very level it is advis-
able to have cross, or catch bitches,
every 400 or 500 feet.
To illustrate, suppose the land is
quite level and has gradual fall to
the southeast, with the water coming
upon the land at the highest point, the
northeast corner. Construct a ditch
clear around the tract, with gates so
that the water can be flowed westward
and fed through spouts to the north
ern part of the field, the surplus water
passing away in the ditch on the west.
