Every woman has so much pain work and worry in life that any needless daily suffering from back ache. head ache, dizziness, languor or other kidney ills Is unfortunate, indeed
 Doan's Kidney Pills have brought new life, health and strength to thousands of women afflicted in this way by curing the kidneys. If you don't just understand your condition don't forget that it may be the kid lneys.
 Women easily fall victim to kid ney ills. The confining work woman does. the tight, heavy clothing she wears. the constant bending. reach ing and lifting of housework. the cares of bringing up children, are all trying. Any fever, cold, chill or strain may weaken the kidneys, and set up congestion. with backache ana disturbances of the urine.
 Too many women have come 10 think that backache, pain through the hips. headache, nervousness and swelling of the ankles. wrists or limbs, are troubles peculiar 10 the sex. Don't make that mistake. Suspect your kidneys first Men have similar aches when the kidneys are sick.

How Protection Protects.

The census of 1890 showed that the
value of manufactured products after
subtracting that of materials used,
was $4,210,393,S07, while the sum dis
bursed in wages was 1881, 228,3 21, or
44.9 per cent. In 1900 the net value
of manufacturing products were So

amounted to 1892 ,333,S77, or 41.0 per

Call of the Press AGENT.

A line of dandy picture books
With words that fairly glow.
Describing fairyland, the place
Where every one should go,
Come to the man on every mail.
Presenting him the best
And cheapest place that he can find
For his vacation rest.
Word paintings that before his eyes
In colors rich and deep
Present spot where he may loaf
Where board is good and cheap,
Where mystic woodlands spread away,
Where lakes like mirrors shine
And where the fishes take bite
At every careless line.
In neat half tones. by printers touch
Transformed TO works of art.
Depicting scenes that touch the soul
And reach down to the heart
The text is ten times multiplied,
And this one spot of earth
Appears to be the very place
To get his moneys worth. J,
The books and circulars that tell
About the swell resorts
Where man may go for rest and change
And quiet summer sports
Are hardly ever downright lies,
But here and there extracts
From passages that fairly burn
Exaggerate the facts.
