Cures that last are cures that tell To thoroughly know the virtues of a medicine you must investigate the cures and see if they prove perma- nent. Doan's Kidney Pills stand this test, and plenty of proof exists right here in this locality. People who test flied years ago to relief from backache kidney and urinary disorders, now de- clare that relief was permanent and the cure perfect Can any Alaskan sufferer longer doubt the evidence?
 J. Prenatt, 31l Third Ave. N., Se- attlc. Wash, says: The relief l re- ceived from Doan's Kidney Pills over three years ago, has been permanent and I, therefore, cheerfully confirm the public statement gave in favor of the remedy at that time. For two years had attacks of backache and my kidneys were so weak that the least cold l contracted settled fin them making my condition worse. Deans Kidney Pills promptly disposed of the pains in my back and regulated the passages of the kidney secreions. A the present time there is not 0 symp- tom of my former trouble remaining. I advise anyone afflicted with kidney complaint to give Deans Kidney Pills trial" =,

STORM IN
MISSOURI
Several Injured and
Much Property
Destroyed.
(By United Press Leased Wire


ST. LOUIS, May Zone of the
severest storms of years swept Mis-.
souri,, Kansas and southern Illinois
today, and as a result several per-
sons are injured and thousands of
dollars damage has been done.
The storm started last night and
continued today. A heavy wind,
which in some cases reached the
proportions of a tornado. was fol.
lowed by a heavy rain that fell in
torrents and flooded creeks and riv.
ers.
At Emporia, Kan, the wind was
so heavy that trees were torn up by
the roots and buildings were
wrecked. Windows were broken,
signs torn down, the roofs lifted off
buildings and telegraph and tele-
phone wires prostrated.
Throughout Missouri heavy DAM
age is reported. Crops already in
jured by the storm of week ago,
when snow and freezing weather
held sway in the state, were further
damaged by the heavy rain, which
in some places washed out the
newly planted crops.

CARRIE NATION
WAITING FOR
INSPIRATION
"MEN WHO SMOKE SHOULD

ORDERS A CURSE.

Garry Nation may smash up some
Spokane saloons, but she refuses to
state definitely that she will.
Il never can tell when I will
clean out a bar room, for l never
know till the moment the inspira-
tion to do so comes to me from
God-if it comes while l am here,
look out. That's all can say" said
the militant reformer to a Press
reporter this morning, when seen in
her apartment at her hotel.
Spry and active for a woman of
81 years, with record of having
smashed hundreds of saloons in
America, England and France dur
ing the past decade, Mrs. Nation
does not have to be urged to hand
out line of talk on any one of a
dozen lines of reform"
Secret orders are a curse" she
says. "They ought to be put out of
business, and there should be a law
prohibiting men who smoke, chew
or drink from marrying"
She will lecture tonight in the
tent at the corner of Astor and
Baldwin on the subject. "How
Smashed, Why l Smashed and Why
You Should Smash" and tomorrow
she speaks at the First Methodist
church. Further plans for her stay
here have not been given out.
Meanwhile no alarm Is felt
among the saloon keepers Of the
city. None of those interviewed
this morning remotely expected a
visit from Carry and her hatchet,
but several saloon keepers express
ed the wish that she would CALL
claiming that the additional trade
that would lta attracted as a result
of her visit would more than repay
for any damage she might do be-
fore the police arrived.
"Women like to be loved" con-
tinued Mrs. Nation to the reporter
after she had decorated him with
a souvenir hatchet pin bearing her
name and paste diamond, said to
represent the stones she has
thrown through saloon mirrors,
that being one Of her methods.
"Yes, they like to be loved too well
and they are too prone to overlook
the vices of men. We must edu-
cate the women to refuse to have
anything to do with men who chew,
smoke and drink. and then the men
