WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO

Thelr Unceasins Work Keeps Us
 Strong and Healthy.
 All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every thre minutes. The kidneys filter the blood They work nigt and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when un- healthy some part of this impure mat ter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms pain in the back, headache, nervous ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness irregular heart, debility, drowsiness. dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys.
 w. A. Hawkins, 669 Yesler Way, Seattle, Wash, says: Ut gives me pleasure to confirm the statement l gave for publication some years ago in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as the relief l obtained from their use has proven permanent. l suffered from an acute attack of kidney trou- lie and though l used remedy after remedy, l was unable to find relief. l had the most severe pains across the small of my back and was also annoyed by irregular passages of the kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney Fills helped me at once and continue use entirely relieved me. l am a great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills and have recommended them on many occasions"

STEWARDS FOLLY"

The fact that Seattle is holding an Alaska.Yukon exposition this year recalls that but little more than 4Ol years ago the press of this country formed unit in denunciation of Sec retary Stewards negotiations that re- suited in the purchase of Alaska from Russia for the sum Of S7,2OO, 900, and that with one acclaim this pur- chase was termed Stewards folly"
 In the light of this premature judgment, it is interesting now to note that the Treadwell mine alone ls producing every three years p per cen. more in gold than Seward paid for the entire territory in which that one property is located. It is also interesting to note that s!Gce the dis covery of Nome in 1899 that district has produced $5O,OOO,OOO worth of gold, or enough to pay for the Sew ard purchase seven times over. It is almost amusing to hear tha' the Tan ana valley placers in six years have turned out $35 900 in gold-nearly enough to replace the money paid for Alaska by the United States five times over. And the more yirulent ot the Panama valley boosters are predicting that, barring accidents. this year will witness an output from that district of Sl5,OOO. 900, or more than enough to pay for another Al aSka twice over.
 Developments along the Copper river district go to indicate that, like Nevada, Alaska will be known in a very few years, as much for it's gold mines, and this means at least a doubling in value of the annual min eral output. That this Is not mere hearsay is indicated by the fact that a S2O,OOO 900 railroad is being built from Cordova to the Alaska copper country. And that the territory has considerable mineral resources in an other direction is evidenced by the construction of another railroad toI the coal deposit on Matanuska river.
 Other districts, such as Kougarok, Innoko, Koyokuk, Valdez creek and Ketchikan, have not been mentioned in detail, because they have not suOwn such big returns as Nome or Panama, but in the aggregate they will add greatly to the mineral pro duction of Alaska.
 Of course, those who ridiculed or denounced Seward for the purchase of Alaska did not count upon the one thing that might make it i'm mensely valuable to the purchaser the discovery of mines. The money was paid, too, at time when the country needed money badly. But 1t has been richly repaid for it's pur- chase, even though it did not know that it was investing in a gigantic gold mine when it paid out that much talked-of $7,2OO, ,OOO.-Mining Fi- nancial News
