One Of the beautiful traits of senti-

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasine Work Keeps Us

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 800 grains
of impure matter daily. when IN.
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pain in the back, headache nervous.
ness, hot. dry skin. rheumatism. govt.
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart. de-
bility. drOWSinesS, drOpSy, deposits in
the urine. etc. But ii you keep the
filters right YOU will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
John Farrand. barber, living in the
eastern part of Brookings, 5. d.. says:
II have great faith in the merits OF
Doan's Kidney Pills and believe this
remedy to be a safe and reliable one

1t is worth remembering that no
newspaper is printed especially for
one person, any more than one hotel
is built especially to please one guest.
People who become greatly d~iSplcaSed
with something they find in a news
paper should remember that which
displcaSeS them is exactly the thing
thai will most please somebody that
has just as much interest III the paper
as they have. 1t takes all kinds of
people to make a world. We are told.
and the patrons Of a newspaper are
made up Of all the elements of the
world. A man may have IA dislike
to tobacco, but not foolish enough to
complain to his grocery man because
he keeps it for sale to those who want
it, and the man who finds something
in newspapers he does not like is not
obliged to read it or be Influenced by
it.-rX.
