WORK WElRENS THE KIDNEYS
DORn's Kidney Pills Havo DoDo Grnatl Sorvioo for People who Work In Alaska

Most Alaska people work every day in some strained, unnatural position bending constantly over desk riding on jolting wagons or cars doing labor ious housework; lifting, reaching or puliing, or trying the back in hundred ard one different ways. All these sGrains tend to wear, weaken and injure the kidneys until they fsll behind in cir work of Altering the poisons from the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys,.pu new strength in. bad backs
 W. E. Wood of 25O cottage St., Sa- lem. Ore, says: IA good many years ago I got badly kicked by a mule right over the kidneys and at another time while digging Q well it caved in ou me also lnjuring my back. Since then l have had more or less annoyance from my kidneys. Change of weather caused my back to ache and when l worked hard it became SO lame that I could hardly straig hten up after stooping. l procured Doan's Kidney Pills at a drug store and since taking them, although I have continued to work hard and be exposed to severe weathe,, not an ache or other symptoms of my former trouble remains. This clearly proves that Dosn's Kidney Pills act up to representations made of them. also know of other people who have derived grea5 benefit from their use. I am glad 10 let others know the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills for bsckache and kidney trouble.

AGE:
 TOOLS FOUND

Relic of prehistoric age especially interesting to the students of arch9ol- Ogy, were found recently on the island of Latouch, in Prince William sound, by A. k. Bestison, managing owner or the big Be,tison copper prop erty.
 The discovery Of these tools of the s,one age was made by the removal of an old stump which had long obstruc,ed a pathway. A few sticks oi powder sufHced to blow the stump and roots from it's previous position, and exposed to view a shaft made by human hands. Beatlsou and his men were naturally surprised at the revelation, and began an investigation. At the bottom of the sh.ft various tools Nhich were prob. ably used in the digging were found These impllments. crude in conssruc- tIon and odd as to form, were made entirely Of stone. The shaft was un- dOubtedly sunk by sborigineu who lived and had their being when the world was young.
 Some of the bluish mud heavily miueralized, found in Vhe bolton Of the shaft, was placed tu re,Ort and beads of native copper soon appeared. This mud became inpregnated with copper by teaching and proves that the big Beatisou lode has continuity as the old shai, is wltbiu fifty feet of the end line Of the Beatisou ground where 1t joins the Girdwcod.Barrack prOperty.-Yal- dsz ProspecJOr.

GIRL BABYS
 AWFUL ECZEMA
Sight of Eye DestrOyedb by Disease Tried Five Doctors but Grew WOrse-ln Agony Eight Months Parents Discouraged, Until They Tried Cuticura Remedies
IN ONE WEEK ALL
 SORES DISAPPEARED

"Our little girl, one year and haB old, was taken with eczems or that was what the doctor said it was. We called fn the family doctor and he gave some tablets and said she would be all right fn a few days. The eczema grew worso and we called in doctor No. 2. Flo said she was teething, as soon aS the teeth were through she would be all right. But she stin grew worse. Doc tor No. 3 said it was eczema. By thls time sho was nothing but yellow, greenish sore. Well, he said he could help her, SO we let him try 1t about . week. Ono morning VIC discovered Q little yellow pimple on one or her eyes. Of course we 'phoned for doctor No. 3. He came over and looked her over and said that he could not do any thing moro for her, that we had better take her to some eye specialist, slnce is was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to doctor No. 1, and he said the eye sight was gone, but that he could help 1t. We thought we would try doctor No. 5. We'll, that proved the same, only ho charged SlO more than doctor No. 4. We were nearly discouraged. saw ono of the Cuticura advertisements in tho paper and thought we would try tho Cuticura Treatment, SO l went and purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies, which cost me Sl, and in three days our daughter. who had been sick about eight months, showed great improve nnent, and in one week all sores had dis appeared. Of course it could not re- store the eyesight, but if we had used Cuticura in time l am confident that it would have saved the eye. We think there is no remedy so good for any skin trouble or impurity of the blood as Cuticura. Mir. and Mrs. Frank Abbott, R. F. D. No. 9, Fulton, Oswego Co.,, N. r., August r, 1906"

Opposing Roosevelt.

Mr.. Roosevelt has both profited and
suffered throughout his term of office
because so few people have had the
moral courage to take issue with him
openly. The President has boasted
truthfully that the Republican leaders
who talked loudest against him in the
cloakrooms did not dare to breathe a
word of their criticisms in their own
districts or States. But any man in
his position is bound to be harmed If
he is without able and intelligent op-
position. AS a result, Mr.. Roosevelt's s
schemes and sentiments often pass
current as sterling when, if properly
assayed, their base metal would speed
lily appear. Where intelligent news
paper criticism has made itself felt,
it has. been easy for the President to
declare that the journals that annoy
him are owned by Wall Street, or
guided by improper motives. Hence
it is refreshing when men like Foraker
and Rayner are bold enough to take
issue with him. Better still is the
courage displayed by Mr.. Carnegie,
when he turned squarely upon the
President, discarded his set speech,
and properly rebuked Mr.. Roosevelt
to his face for perverting the laying
of the cornerstone of a temple of peace
with his foolish and wearisome cant
about the necessity of great armaments
to preserve peace. Mr.. Carnegie is
entitled to the gratitude of all who
believe in the fitness of things, as well
as those who admire plain speaking.

THE KOOKABURRA.
AustraIia's Laughing Bird and It's
STARTLING Cry,

AustraIia's Laughing Bird and It's
Startling Cry.
To the outside world the greatest Or
astrological oddity in Australia is the
kookaburra. Though Australians take
little notice Of it except occasionally In
a hostile way, its cachinnation appeals
irresistibly to the newcomer. Like the
shrikes and parrots, the curlew and
the mopoke, it is conspicuous figure
in the scenery Of typical bush home
and therefore too common to be worthy
Of notice. In earlier times It was
known as the settlers clock" from a
belief that it's joyful paeans were vent
ed regularly at morn, noon and dusk,
being quiescent through the heat Of the
forenoon and the wane Of the after
noon. That belief has long been shat
tered. The kookab burra laughs just
when the fit takes it, particularly when
excited, and it laughs as readily at the
violent death Of its mother-in-law as it
does at the enraged settler when he
falls off his haystack. A wounded bird
makes a demoniacal row, which will
bring all others within hearing into
the neighboring trees, and these at
once set up an echoing cackle that is
repeated again and again.
The kookaburra is also known as the
laughing goburra and the laughing
jackass.-Sydney (Australia) Times.

"First and last, day and night, he
who has given himself to the cause Of
medicine sees the most sordid, the most
terrifying, the most pitiful, side Of hu-
manity," says a writer in Appleton's
Magazine. "His training Is in the
slums, where the elements of life may
touch even the lowest and basest. His
service is demanded in sickness and
pain, and his final act, as irrevocably
as the rising Of the sun, is to close the
eyes forever Of others, even perhaps
those whom he brought into the world.
