A HARD STRUGGLE

Many a Hattiesbura Citizen Finds the
Struggle Hard.
With a back constantly aching.
With distressing urinary disorders.
Daily existence is but a struggle.
No need to keep It up.
Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you.
Hattiesburg people endorse this
claim:
s. R. Brannan, 81S Mcleod street,
Hattiesburg, Miss, says: when first
procured Doan's Kidney Pills at Hays
& Fields drug store, two or three
years ago was suffering at great deal
from Kidney complaint. The kidneys
secretions were dark and contained
heavy sediment. My back was weak
and painful and at times suffered so
intensely that I could not sleep at
night. My condition gradually became
more serious and could hardly arise
from a chair without assistance. Fin
ally was forced to stop work and al
though I took number Of medicines,
did not receive any relief. When
feeling miserable, Doan's Kidney Pills
came to my attention and began
taking them according to direction
They helped me from the first and at
last I was free from the trouble. 1

The water IS FINE 8
ON NORTHERN PACIFIC

Following the advice sent out some
months ago that the Northern Pacific
Railway had secured a poultry farm of
its own in the state of Washington,
and was operating its own bakeries in
Seattle, comes the word that this same
company has arranged to secure the
entire supply of water on all of its din
ing cars from springs located at Detroit,
Minnesota. The water is filtered before
being bottled and is distributed to
various points on the system by a special
refrigerator car, which makes a trip every
ten days over the line. unloading full
bottles m the outgoing trip and picking
up empties on the return. No other
water will be used for drinking purposes
on any of the Northern Pacific DING cars.
With eggs andschickens from it's own
poultry farm, bread, cakes and pastry
from its WI bakeries. a special brand
of unsalted butter from the Yakima
Valley creamery. its mammoth selected
potatoes which have o a reputation of
their own, and lastly its Pokegama
water bottled at the springs, the North
ern Pacific is making some unusual bids
for patronage in its dining car service.
A newly designed menu card in
green and gold, presents these toothsome
attractions and serve as a dainty
souvenir of the trip.

PRAYER ANSWERED

People, generally, want what they
pray for and the sooner their prayers are
answered the more thankful they should
be. However, this is not always the
case. and we have a good illustration
right in this community where some of
our good people refuse to take what they
prayed fol-.
Several months ago over 100 people
living in the country south of New Eng
land presented a petition to Uncle Sam.
praying for the establishment of a rural
free delivery mail route. In response to
the prayers of his people Uncle Sam
sent an inspector over the proposed route
and after the inspector made his favor
able report Uncle Sam sent word to his
rural friends that they could have their
mail delivered every week day in the
year (holid days %excepted) if the patrons
would provide Themselves with suitable
mail boxes.
The patrons of the proposed route have
had three months in which to report to
the postmaster their intention to provide
approved mail boxes. but they have
neglected tt do it. Seventy-fve patrons
must agree to provide boxes before the
route is established and if the mail is
not being delivered on this route after
January 1, 1910, it will be the patrons
own fault. -Hettinger County Herald.

ERROR IN one Letter
CAUSES LONG TRIP

Mrs M. Thorne arrived here from
Fergus Falls, Mimi, Tuesday. her visit
to this city being the result of a curious
combination Of circumstances.
/ The latter part of last week Mrs.
Thorne received a notice from the N.
P. Ry. Office in Fergus Falls that a
ticket and sufficient money to defray
her expenses to Dickinson was await
ing her at that Office. She was not
expecting any remittance but she
called at the Office and found that a
telegraph mon ey order had been for
warded with instructions to give her
the ticket and the money that was left
after the price of the ticket had been
taken out.
Mrs. Thorne was puzzled, but she re
called the fact that an old friend of hers
was living in North Dakota, possibly at
this point that said friend knew that
she was free from family cares and
could come al short notice; and the
thought occurred to her that probably this
friend was ill or needed her in some
way and had taken the quickest method
of securing her presence here.
Not being entirely satisfied however.
Mrs. Thorne called up the Office here
over the long distance telephone and was
assured that the money had been seat to
that address and that it was all right.
Upon her arrival in the city inquiries
developed that the money had been sent
to Mrs. M. Thorpe, and that a mistake
of one letter had been made in the tele-
gram. In the conversation ver the tele-
phone the two names had sounded so
much alike that the mistake was not
discovered.
Mrs. Thorne returned to Fergus Falls
later. in the week.

Miss Anna Hillesheim read a paper on
Physical Culture in the Schools"
Physical exercise of the right kind
at the right time is beneficial. The
school curriculum is already crowded and
if additional subjects are added the
course should be extended over a longer
period. The primary importance of
these exercises is to correct physical de-
fects and forestaIl habits that might
result in defects. A medical examiner
could do much for the children by report
ing to the parents cases needing medical
attention. Much of the teachers work
in promoting health is by suggestion.
She should keep her we'll ventila-
ted and should insist that the rooms are
kept clean. She can require correct
positions on the part Of the pupils and
prevent round shoulders and hollow
chests. The teacher can do much toward
teaching physical culture during general
periods and in connection with physi-
ology, emphasizing especially cleanli-
ness and the hygiene of the human
body.
Insist that pupils remain in the fresh
air during recess and before school-but
in some way they should be taught to
exercise properly and not sit around On
steps and catch cold. Y. M. C. A.
gymnasium classes have solved this
problem. Children taught in such
classes are always ready to play at re-
cess. Children who become interested
in sports become also mentally awakened
and leaders in school as we'll as on the
playground. The new high school
gymnasium will offer great possibilities
along these lines"
Attorney Field thought the public mind
could best be interested in matters of
health by publicity through the press.
Rev. W. J.. Brown thought much prac-
tical work could be done before condi-
lions are ideal and that if we were to
have medical inspection it would react
on the homes and produce better condi-
lions.
Miss Spears urged cleanliness in
school rooms.
Mr.. Heffron said the laws we have
ourselves made. handicap us and we must
agitate and keep agitating until the
people are aroused. Have inspection
and publish the results of inspection.
