Odd Little Farms in Japan.

Land is so scarce in Japan and the people are so numerous that a farm rarely consists of more than an acre or two. These little farm are divided up into tiny fields. During the season of the year in which We make our journey one of these fields is filled witlf sprouting barley light green in coIor; another feld-perhaps the next, with vetch. a lavender-co -colored, clover like fodder; a neighboring field with a dark green grass, from the seed of which a lamp oil is manufactured; an- other with the pale yellow flowers of the mustard. and scattered here and there fields filled with what looked like a variety of lily-some white, some rcd, some yellow, but all equally bril- liant.

 Citizens Say.

To cure an aching back.

 You must reach the spot-get at the cause.
 In most cases 'tis the kidneys.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for the Kid neys.
 Mrs. Hiram U. Neff. living at 465 Main Street, Norwich, Conn, says: MT. Neff speaks highly of DoHri' v Kid ney Pills and has been an advocate of this remedy for long timee For a good many years he was subject to attacks of rheumatism. This complaint was confined to the region of his kid neys and at times the pains were so severe that he could scarcely get around. The stiffness and lanneness in his back made it almost impossible for him to stoop or straighten after stoop- ing. The kidney secretions ywere yer irregular in action, unnatufal in ap- pearance and caused him great an- rovance. Doan's Kidney Pills were recommended to him; he procured a box from N D. Sevin & Sons drug store. and they gave hin gratifying results from the first. The pain in bis back was banished. and the secre tions from his kidneys restored to a normal condition. At times since he has noticed slight recurrence of the trouble. but ar appeal to Doan's has always given him prompt relief"

Within ten years, he says, dirigibles and aero planes will be so common that they will hardly attract attention.
