IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause Of Your
Troubles-A Richmond Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame.
weak or aching back they think that
1t Is only muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is just where the dam
ger lies. You must cure these trou-
bles or they may lead to diabetes or
Bright's disease. The best remedy to
use is Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t cures
all ills which are caused by weak or
diseased kidneys. Richmond people
testify to permanent cures.
Enoch Cromer living at 221 North
10th street, Richmond, Ind, says:
"Railroading is said to be hard on the
kidneys and the continued jar and jolt
of riding on trains got me into a bad
condition. My kidneys became weak
and there was Inflammation of the
bladder. Many nights there would be
three or four passages of the secre-
tions before l could get to sleep and
this loss of rest made me weak, de-
pressed and in no condition for work.
Frequently l felt faint and dizzy SEN
sations and a general feeling of lassi-
tude and weakness. Mr.. Hiatt Of the
Hiatt Drug Co., advised me to try
Doan's Kidney Pills. l did so with
good results. The backache was re-
lieved and the kidney action became
regular"

OUR BIG COUNTRY.
A Season When the Sun Never Sets
on tho Stars and Stripes.


There is only one flag that the sun
never sets on-the British. But the
American flag is a close second, for
the sun during half the year never sets
on it either. That is to say, these two
are the only flags that the sun is con-
tinuously shining over, no matter what

the year round and the other during
exactly half the year. from March % 10

or course 1t is true that on no day at
all during the year can the sun be seen
from any two points of continental
United States at all times during a
period of twenty-four hours. But the
United States naval observatory has
made careful calculations which by in
Guiding Alaska, Porto Rico and the
