Letthe urine stand for twenty four hours and
at the end of that time there are deposits Of
brick dust variety or if the water becomes
smoky and cloudy you may be sure the kidneys
are deranged.
Another very marked symptom of kidney
disease is pain in the small of the back.
The letter quoted below tells how these
symptoms were overcome and kidney disease
cured BY DR.. A. w. Chase's Kidney and Liver
Liver Pills. Because of their direct and COM
bined action on both liver and bowels these
pills cure the most complicated cases.

From this table it will be seen that
North Dakota is not the most extrava-
CANT state in the way of expenses.
North Dakota had 14O members and the
total cost of the session was, in round
numbers, $4,000 Michigan had 1872
members and the total expenses were
$3.50, 600. Alabama. conservative state,
had al members and spent $108,0O0.
Arkansas, the backbone Of democracy,
had 135 members and the session cost
the state $148,OO0 New York witt, lit
tie more than quarter more members
than North Dakota, paid for its last
session seven times as much as this
state did. New Jersey, with little more
than half as many members as North
Dakota, paid almost the same amount
of expenses.
Comparisons might be made with
every state and the result would be
much the same. North Dakota is not

Eastern Illinois is the man who has
hit upon this novel form of diversified
farming as relief from business

show the farmers of the grain belt that
200 acres CT terrapins and guinea pigs

The farm is located at Darlington,

rolling, timbered land. Numerous Ia
goons and roads are being dug at vari-
GUS points on the property, and IN
elaborate system of irrigating d:'ches
will be established. The guinea pig

With the starting of the farm comes
to light some interesting facts about .

part are mud turtles. soft SHELLS and
