Health is Worth Saving, and Some
~Brookings People Know How
to Save it.

Many B~rookings people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are respons-
ible for a vast amount of suffering and
i'll health, but there is no need to
suffer nor to remain in danger when
all diseases and aches due to weak
kidneys can be quickly and perma-
nently cured by the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills. The following state
ment leaves no ground for doubt.
Eben Robbins, sol First St, S. w,
WATERFOWL, S. D., says: "While in
the Civil War the hard life of a caval-
ryman weakened my kidneys, Twenty
years ago I consulted a physician and
he stated that | was suffering from
Bright's disease. My back was very
lame and the secretions from my kid
neys were too frequent in passage. |
| gradually grew worse and when adj
vised to try Doan's Kidney Pills,
| procured a box. Since using them ev-
cry symptom of my kidney trouble has
disappeared and | have felt much
stronger. I am overconfident that
this remedy will help anyone suffer
ing from kidney disease"

And you so very wise.
You chase one with a spatter round
The room most everywhere.

And thinks you pretty slow.

There were four Trautman boys in
a line; batter, pitcher, umpire, second
baseman. The other was during the
Industrial parade. One of the tools
displayed ON the News office float was

The Bushnell and Aurora merchants
in their advertising space this week
call attention to the state law regard
ing stale eggs. This is a very i'm
portant matter, for the law is not a
dead letter by any means, but is
being enforced. The state has inspec-
tors out and we have already seen
in one or two of our state exchanges
where local parties have been arrest
ed when they offered poor eggs for
sale to the merchant with which they
were trading. The timely warning
given by the Aurora and Bushnell mer-
chants should be needed.

fire the first of July. Five bust
houses and their contents were
burned. Something set fire to a bar
rel of gasoline which had been unload
ed on the platform of a hardware store
rel was burned sufficiently to allow
the gasoline to escape, and could not
then be controlled. Every town should
keep their fire apparatus in good con
dition to be used at a moments notice
as fire is liable TO start at any time.

serious accident when carrying mail
Saturday. A bolt broke letting loose
the whiffletrees and frightening the
team, which is usually ready enough

turning the buggy completely over
Fred got out with only a slight
scratch on the hand but the buggy
was pretty badly damaged, The team
was stopped at Ted Haber's.

The reason for the falling off OF
timothy heads is that the army worm
has a sweet tooth for timothy and
smells a field of the precious stuff for
miles. The worms crawl in compan-
les regiments and batalions, from one
field to another. This advise to farm
ers may be too late this season, but
it will be a good thing to remember.
Plow one furrow around the entire
piece of timothy, turning the dirt out
from the field, The worms will not
mount the dirt. If a hole Is made into
the furrow now and then, they will
crawl into it and can be easily killed
OF course these holes would have
to be watched in order to catch the
varmints.
