No woman can be healthy and well if the kidneys are sick. Poisons that pass off in the urine when the kidneys are we'll are retained in the body when the kidneys are sick Kidneys and bladder get inflamed and swollen, crowding the delicate female organs nearby and sometimes displacing them This is the true cause of many bear ing-down pains, lameness, backache, sideache, etc. Uric poioning also causes headaches, dizzy spells. lang our, nervousness and rheumatic pain.
 When suffering so, try Doan's Kid ney Pills. the remedy that cures sick kidneys. You will get better as the kidneys get better, and health will return when the kidneys are well. Let a Pine Bluff woman tell you about Doan's Kidney Pills
 Mrs. c. B. Fisher, of 1700 East Sixth avenue, Pine Bluff, Ark, says: II en- dorse the statement I made about Doan's Kidney Pills some years ago with the greatest pleasure. I used them for pain and weakness in my back accompanied with other irregu- larities of the kidneys and they did me a world of good, relieving the pain and CA CAoulNdllHS lHc polsoHS 1loA lily SyS- tenn. can also recommend Doan's Ointment as a splendid remedy.

looked and We have been largely de-
pendent upon immigration for our
supply, consequently the American
boy, although better educated and
fundamentally more capable, is to be
found, outside of the professions,
largely in the ranks of unskilled la
Dor; just the opposite of what it
ought to be.
1t is UP to each one of us to use
every available influence towards
bringing about a public sentiment
which will lead our educational in
situations in the direction Of a de-
velopment of skilled, practical trades
men up to the point where they can
actually take their places as such.
The boy thus developed will have
alike the theory and practice of his
trade and would therefore be i'm
measurably superior to the average
mechanic whom today we may have
developed under present conditions.
Or imported from other lands.
of course, Mr. Edison refers to the
very highes degree of technical edu-
cation, but it Is no less important that
the states take measures to turn out
capable tradesmen who can earn
$500 or $500 year. It may be
said for the state of Washington
that in its college at Pullman it has
gone a step further than most states.

Demand fas, C~-~-Is-
The demand of the present age is
for the young man who can do
something. Men who are trained for
their work and can FILL the bill
without the need of constant watch
ing. There is in Wenatchee at the
present time a demand for men who
know horticulture. The printing Of
stantly in need of men who can dc
their work instead of simply hold
ing a position.
Thomas A. Edison states that the
greatest need of the present day is
for the $40, 200 young men, who have
received a technical education. Edi-
son says:
THE United States is starving for
ten-thousand dollar men. Corpora
and thei.ye YmeinETAOINSHRDLU
tions are actually clamoring for
them; and the younger the better.
But the man today must be techni-
cally educated. Modern industrial
financial and comercial conditions are
more complicated than ever before,
and it takes a trained mind and level
head to go 10 the front.
I'm the technical world we could
stand a dozen more institutions like
the Massachusetts institute of Tech
nology. Great concerns such as the
United States Steel Corporation COB
BILE up the graduates as fast as they
are turned out. l had my name on
the colleges waiting list for a time,
and so it goes.
THE demand for educated men,
chaps that have brains, exceeds any
thing that have ever known. They
are doing the work, too; that's why
more are wanted. So now is the
time for the man who is going to
make something of himself to get
busy. If he is any good he won
be out of job long; not much.
There is entirely too much work and
too few of the right kind of per-
sons to do it.
IF you don't believe it, take a
peep into the gigantic plant of a
concern like the Bethlehem Steel Co.
Yes, sir, we are starving for brains
or en-thousand-dollar men, If
that way of putting it appeals more
strongly to the young American in
stinct''
The fact of the overcrowding OF
the Massachusetts institution shows
the great need of this country for
technical schools. If half of our
state universities were made purely
institutions of technology the world
would be the better for it. Young
men should be taught something that
will enable them to earn living as
soon as they leave school.
