Sank Centre People Should Not

The appalling death rate from kid
ney disease is due in most cases to
the fact that the little kidney troubles
are usually neglected uutil they be-
come serious. The slight symptoms
give place to chronic disorders and
the sufferer goes gradually into the
grasp of diabetes, eropsy, Bright's
disease, gravel or some other serious
form of kidney complaint.
If you suffer from backache, head
aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney secre-
lions are irregular of appearances, do
not delay. Help the kidneys at once.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
for kidney disorders they cure where
others fail. Over one hundred thou
sand people have recommended them.
Here's case at home:

from kidney trouble for years and
during that time used many remidies
without no relief. My back was very
weak and lame and sever pains rad
lated through my loins. My kidneys
were also disordered and caused me
a great deal of annoyance. / saw

Notice to Users of Water

All persons using city water for
lawn purposes are hereby notified
that the ordinance regulating the
hours for use of the same will be
strictly enforced. Water may be used
for this purpose from 5 to 10 a. m.
and from 5 to 10 p. m. Owing to the
very dry weather it is of the highest
Importance that the greatest care be
exercised. In case of fire at any time
all sprinkling operations should i'm
mediately cease. The use of water
for lawn purposes seriously interferes
with the fire pressure, hence the
necessity of care. The street com
missioner is hereby instructed tC
see that the ordinance relative to the
use of water for sprickling purposes
is strictly enforced.

Tie Comets TsiI

The tail of a comet is composed OF
gas. existing in highly rarefied con.
dition. Little particles of electricity
called corpuscles. or ions. are being
constantly given off at enormous
speed by the sun. Each meteorite in
the comets head is surrounded by its
own rarefied atmosphere. When one
of these little ions strikes one of the
molecules of gas in the comets at
nosphere, it carries it off with it to
form the tail The electrical charge
makes the gas luminous. and it is by
this light, and not by reflected sum
light. that the tail is made visible to
us. A comets tail. therefore. seems
to be merely a very extended aurorea

Speaking of hot air, tramp artist
emitted enough on the streets here
last Friday evening to last the town
| for the next six months. The
fellow had a magaphone to call
a crowd together, though his fog
horn voice didn't appear to need
any artificial assistance. He spread
| a piece of carpet in the street and
began a harangue that was prize win
ner. Over a hundred people assempl-
ed in short space of time and when
he got good and ready he gave ex-
hibitions of first class tumbling and
! contOrtionist acts. These were in
terspersed with songs with guitar &C.
compartment. And the fellow wasn't
SO bad along that line, either. He
certainly entertained the crowd for
over an hour. And when he wound
up he didn't forget to pass the hat.

ID. G. VanCamp has received a
letter from his son Ben, who is en-
ployed in an automobile garage at
MankatO, Mimi, telling of an acct
dent that befell him there recently.
Mr.. VanCamp started out one after
noon with party of people to take
run into the country. The machine
was six passenger touring car. The
country back of Mankato is quite
billy. 1t is necessary to climb steep
bluffs to get out of the city. While
going up one of these big hills the
engine stopped and the break broke.
The, machine started to run back
ward down hill. Mr.. VanCamp, with
great presence of mind, steered it
into high bank on one side of the
road. The big machine rebounded,
went forward and plunged over a
thirty foot embankment, making two
complete SOmersaults before it stopp-
ed at the bottom. The occupants Of
the big car were under the machine
when it finally reached bottom and
all of them were hurt, the passengers
seriously. Mr.. VanCamp sustained
a frac ture of one arm and was hurt
in one leg by the end of rod running
into it. The heavy top of the machine
protected the occupants and undoubt-
edly saved their lives. Mr.. VanCamp
was laid up at hotel for a week.
He has not fully recovered but ex-
poets to visit his father here soon
before returning to work. The pas
sengers sustained more serious in
juries than did Mr.. VanCamp.

Lost Art a Myth,

1t has been supposed that the an
clients had some method of hardening
bronze tools, the secret CT which had
been lost. Prof. Gowlan6 OF the Brit.
ish Institute of Metals. says that the
ancient bronzes were very impure.
so that their hardness could not have
been due, as sometimes assumed, to
their exceptional purity. On the other
hand, inasmuch as modern bronzes by
careful hammering can be made as
hard as the ancient ones, the legend
of a lost art in bronze hardening
seems to be exploded

Miss Mary Marshall, assisted by
Miss Jessie Thomson, entertained a
party of young lady friends at the
Marshall home on Wednesday after
noon. There were ten in the party
including the hostess. The Little
Brides have not given The Herald
full information as to the details of
the function, but they whisper that
the charming girls were all arrayed
in their finest raiment, played with
their dolls, INDUCED in the pleasures
of spirited convention, did several
other things, and last. but by no
means least. did full feminine justice
to dainty spread. The table was
beautifully decorated, say The Bir-
dies, and the viands were appropriate
to the occasion. 1t was delightful
affair, in fact, ''all went merry as a
marriage bell".
The man who was alive Saturday
morning was wreck. The wonder
was that he was not a dead one. From
Friday morning until noon Saturday,
life in this neck of the woods was
hardly worth living. Why? Cause it
was hot. Yes, it was HOT. Friday
was really the worst day of the sum-
mer. The heat was blistering, scorch-
ing, whitening, facilitating. 1t was
also muggy, sticky heat. Humanity
sweltered. sweated, sWore. Clothing
was supertluosity, or words to that
effect. How high the mercury scared
in the tube deponent knoweth not:
but one things certain, it did the
airship act. The night was as bad as
the day. People who have cottages at
the axes were in luck. But in town
they suffered all night long. The
heat was suffocating. Saturday after
noon the temperature fell and condi-
tions were much better.

WOULD PROMOTE
AUTO RACE
Inquiries Made by Emmett
Harris Looking Tow
ard Contests.

Local G. N. Agent A. A. Piper was
in receipt of a telephone message
this morning from Passenger Agent
Ross, of Seattle, stating that Emmett
Harris. an auto race promoter, de-
sired to put on some contests here
this fall and inquired as to the char
acter of the race courses here.
Mr.. Piper had to wire back that
at the present time there were no
courses suitable for auto racing. The
ball park is too small and Judge
Martin states that his course is not
in shape for automobiling.
1t has been suggested during the
day by several auto enthusiasts that
possibly course might be laid out
on some of the suburban streets. A
square course would be suitable on
some of the close-in suburban roads.
There are no especial attractions
here for this fall and it has been
suggested that nothing would be
more popular than some auto con-
tests and it is likely that the auto
men will take this matter up with
the idea of improving the roads to
such an extent that an auto contest
might be possible.
