A New Back for an Old One-How 1t
Can Be Done in Pendleton.

The back aches at times with a dull
indescribable feeling, making you
weary and restless; piercing pains
shoot across the region of the kidneys
and again the loins are so lame to
stoop is agony. No use to rub or ap-
ply plaster to the back in this con-
dition. You can not reach the cause.
Exchange the bad back for a new
and stronger one. Pendleton residents
would do we'll to profit by the follow
ing example.
Mrs. Putnam Yeck of Elgin, Ore,
says: 'I had known of the merit of
Doan's Kidney Pills long before had
occasion to use them. When suffer-
ing from an attack of lame back, ac-
companied by pains through my kid
neys, procured a box and began their
use. II sat long on one position the
pains were always more severe and
experienced a languid, dizzy feeling
upon first arising in the morning.
Doan's Kidney Pills banished the
backache, regulated the passage Of the
kidney secretions and helped me in
every way. I cannot express my graf
itude to Doans Kidney Pills for the
benefit they gave me-"

HUMAN SACRIFICES.
The Brutality That Went With War In
Former Times.

ESTHcI IHSo.
Before battle in former times the
priests solemnly devoted to the gods
the whole of the hostile army then in
sight, and, If possible. no man Of it
was left alive When Hermann de-
cOyed the great host Of Varus into the
forest depths all the Romans that es-
capped death in the battle were cap
tured and led into the dark recesses.
where every man of them was sacri-
feed upon hastily erected altars.
Latham, in his edition of Tacitus,
quotes six contemporary authorities to
show that this practice of concluding
victory with human sacrifices was
customary among our Teutonlc ances-
tors. Some crucified their prisoners,
others hung them up to trees for arch
cry practice. but in general captive
was either slain on the spot or else re-
served to be sacrificed to the gods,
Even when the progress of agriculture
induced them to keep majority of
the prisoners alive to be slaves they
appeased the gods for this indignity
by increasing the tortures inflicted on
the small remainder.
Gibbon describes how, before the
blazing altar. every hundredth mans
arms were hacked off him and, before
his eyes, thrown into the flames. All
that a red Indian would have done
in the eighteenth century was freely
practiced by our ancestors Of twelve
centuries ago And the highest ideal
Of man then included, as a duty, dark
cruelty and grewsome revenge against
all his enemies.
