JUST ONE WEEK
TILL QUAIL TINE
Open Season on Quail in Oklahoma
Begins on Next Thursday A
Large Crop

One more week can the festive quail
ilutter out of the grass and sail away un-
disturbed as the sorrowful man watches
and longs for his gun. One more week
and Oklahoma sportsmen can 90 afied
and satisfy the desire to once more watch
his dog route out the game birds, once
more viii his eye glance along the shining
barrels Of his gun and once more will he
rejoice as he sees the object Of his hunt,
at the report Of his gun suddenly fold its
wings and drop TO the ground, to be
brought later by the everfaithfu retriever
TO his masters feet. One week from to-
day will begin the open season on quail
in Oklahoma, and local sportsmen are
anxiously awaiting the expiration Of the
closed season. Everywhere the talk Of
dogs and guns is in the air Nearly every
day some man is seen carrying a new
gun home with him, in preparation Of the
fall sport
The baseball season is over, the fishing
season is dying and the only thing left
for the sportsman now is the coming
quail season. Some few ducks are said
to be coming in, but il viii be month
yet before duck shooting will be worth
while. In the meantime the quail crop is
said to be larger this year than ever has
been known here before Several coveys
have already been spotted and will no
doubt suffer greatly on next Thursday.

toward the entrance. Tafts huge frame

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps
Us Strong and Healthy.

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
500 grains of impure matter daily,
when unhealthy some part of this
impure matter is left in the blood.
This brings on many diseases and
symptoms-pain in the back, head
ache, nervousness, hot, dry skin,
rheumatism, govt, gravel, disorders
of the eyesight and hearing, dizzi-
ness, irregular heart, debility, drow-
siness, dropsy, deposits in the urine,
etc. But if you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with
your kidneys.
Mrs. w. !. Bailey, living on East
Greenville street, jacksonville, KY,
says: 1T is four years since recon-
mended Doan's Kidney Pills through
our papers, and my confidence in
them during the time which has
elapsed has not been shattered in the
least, but to the contrary, / learned
more about them and can recon-
mend them even more strongly. |
said at that time that Mr.. Bailey
had suffered with kidney complaint
off and on for number Of years,
and had used almost every known
remedy for this trouble but nothing
brought permanent results. He f.
nally learned of Doan's Kidney Pills
and got box. They benefited him
in every way, more so than all other
kidney medicines he had ever tried.
He has used them many times during
the past four years, and they have
never failed to give him relief from
these severe attacks. ! have used
Doan's Kidney Pills myself for a
weakened condition of the kidneys
and they proved just as satisfactory
in my case. We both think there is
no remedy like Doan's Kidney Pills
