Scores of Tacoma people can
tell you about Doan's Kidney
Pills. Many a happy citizen makes
a public statement of his expert
Ience. Here is case of it. What
better proof of merit can be had
than such endorsement?
E. Hovland, 1924 S. Yakima
ave., Tacoma, Wash, says; Dur
ing the summer of 1907, 1 was
suddenly taken with an attack of
kidney complaint. / suffered from
a lameness and soreness across
the small of my back and to turn
in bed caused sharp twinges to
dart through me. There was a
constant, dull ache over my hips
and l knew that something must
be done. So many people were
telling of the benefit they had
received from Doan's Kidney Pills,
that I was induced to get this
remedy at Malstrom Bros Drug
Store. The first few doses re-
lieved the backache and the kid
ney weakness was soon correct
ed. 1 did not continue taking
Doan's Kidney Pills as long as
should, and as a result, there was
la recurrence of the trouble.

GETS LIFE
SENTENCE

PENDLETON, Ore, Feb. g.
Claude Arnold, alias George Tracy,
who was convicted of murder in
the second degree for the brutal
murder of Albert Radical near UNI
atilla several months ago, was
sentenced to life imprisonment by
Judge Bean yesterday afternoon.
The murder was one of the most
brutal ever committed in the his
tory of this county. The prosecu-
ton had a strong chain of circum-
stantial evidence duplicating Ar
mold, but the lack of direct evil
dence saved him from being hang
ed.

WITH OUR EXCHANGES
PaTRoNIze THE ADVERTISERS.

There is more than one advantage in patron
zing those who advertise. The advertiser IS al
ways the live business man, and it is the live men
who build towns and cities Ever know of a
bunch of dead ones accomplishing anything in
the way of city building? Advertising is necessa-
ry to sustain newspaper. Ever know of a town
or city amounting to anything without a newspa-
per? The live merchants do a larger business
than dead ones''-sell more goods and can there
fore sell for smaller margin of profit and fresher
goods The man who is too close to advertise and
invite your patronage would more than likely be
too stngy to divide the profits a bargain with
you if he had one. Therefore it is not only econ
omy to patronize the live public spirited business
men, but it is an aid in the upbuildng of our town
and its institutions. And everything that helps in
building up the town helps every resident of the
town-even enhances the value of the holdings of
those who are too slow to help themselves. In
fact, were it not for the live business men in a
town no business would come to the town, and the
suggards would not even get the little that they
do
There is another thing to consider in bestow-
ing patronage: The man who is doing business
strictly his own hook and independently is of
far more value to the town than the fellow who is
merely peddling the goods of rival town. The
money spent with the latter goes to build up the
rival town to the detriment of your own, and
whenever the opportunity offers the rival is pre-
pare to fight your and your town with your own
money and at your own expense
That's the meaning of the admonitions we
frequently run

METHOD OF INDUCING SLEEP
self-Sugsestion Plays Great Part
Worry is the Main Thing
to Be Avoided.

The neX% point 10 bear in mind is
that self-sLggestion plays a great part
in the production of sleep. writes Dr.
S McComb in Harper's BazaI Ordi-
narily we do not sleep by accident or
haphazard. We resolve to sleep. We
go through a variety of actions all
suggestive of a change from our nor
NAL waking condition. We undress,
We place ourselves In a comfortable
position, we close our eyes. We be-
neYe and expect that we are going to
sleep, and the result is-sleep. One
of the great preventatives of sleep is
the fear of not sleeping. Once this
fear is broken down, we sleep. The
insomniac worries about his insomnia,
and this very worry deepens the mis-
chief. Hence the sufferer should sug-
gest to himself again and again: IF
1 sleep, we'll: il l don't sleep / will at
least gain rest by keeping my mind
calm and my body relaxed" In q
word, our chances of getting sleep in
crease il we assume the external
physical attitude which corresponds
TO sleep, If we relax every muscle and
let 1t stay relaxed, IL we breathe light
ly and regularly. If we call up the
imaginations of sleeping person. and
talk and think sleep to ourselves, re-
peating silently and in a quiet dreamy
fashion such formula as this:
There is no reason why should not
sleep. My mind is at peace. Sleep is
coming. / am getting sleepy. / am
about to sleep. | am asleep"

Among the ways of earning living

Protection for the Lion.

A strange petition has been received
at the French colonial Office from the
colonists of French Uganda. II prays
for the protection of the lion from
the gun of the hunter, on the ground
that the king of beasts is alone able
TO rid them of their enemies, the
herbivorous animals. the deer. the
elephant and the rhinoceros. 1t seems
that hunters were vigorously restrict
ed as to the number of these beasts
which they could kill. although the II
cense cost from $50 to $50 Conse
quently they have increased and null
tipIied to such an extent that the
coionists are now calling upon the
home authorities to protect the exter-
minating lion. Only La Fontaina
could do justice to this situation
