HIDDEN DANGERS
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Wausau Citizen Can
Afford to Ignore.

DANGER SIGNAL NO. l comes
from the kidney secretions. They will
warn you when the kidneys are sick.
Well kidneys excrete clear, amber
fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin,
pale and foamy, or thick, red, evil
smelling urine, full of sediment and
irregular of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO 2. comes
from the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of
sick kidneys and warn you of the COM
ing of dropsy, dialects and Bright's
disease. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick
kidneys and cure them permanently.
Here's Wausau proof:
E. NJ. Hubbard, 521 Second Ave. s.,
Wausau, Wis, says: II gladly corro-
borate ali said in praise of Doan's
Kidney Pills when 1 publicly recon-
mended them in 1907. My experience
with this medicine has given conyinc-
ing proof of its merits. My back was
very lame and was subject to pains
through my kidneys and sides. When
l heard about Doan's Kidney Pills, /
got supply at Philbrick's Pharmacy
and it did not take them long to re-
lieye every symptom of my trouble"

Do Ghosts Haunt swamps?

No, never. It's foolish to fear fancied
evil, when there are real and deadly
perils to guard against in swamps and
marshes, bayous, and low lands. These
are the malaria germs that cause ague,
chills and fever, weakness, aches in the
bones and muscles and may induce
deadly typhoid. But Electric Bitters
destroys and casts out these vicious
germs from the blood. "Three bottles
drove all the malaria from my system, !"
wrote VIM. Fretwell, of Lucama, n. c.,
''and I've had fine health ever since"

How to Make
Money
And Make the Money Saved
Earn More Money for You
While You Sleep.

Take your present savings and
make small payment down on one
or more building lots in ]. H.
KOEHLER'S. proposed addition in
Southwest Wausau. After you have
done this you will feel that you
have reason for saving your nick
els and dimes instead of spending
them carelessly as many of US oft
times do, and as you save them
make further weekly, monthly or
yearly payments on the property
you have bought. Try this method
and note the happy result. You
viii be most agreeably surprised
when, after comparatively short
length of time you find yourself the
sole owner of piece of real estate
Young men, only ten cents day
saved and paid off regularly, viii
pay up in full for one of these lots
in from three and one-half to five
years time, and all the time while
you are saving and paying up for
it the value of it increases that
the money saved and invested is
earning more for you. Itnever stops.
1t makes money for you while you
sleep.
But don't wait. Begin now. Buy
while you can buy cheap. You have
perhaps, missed other good chances
by waiting. Don't miss this one.
These lots are being offered at such
low prices that the fact is they are
worth considerably more today than
what they can be bought for at the
present time, and the prices are
apt to be raised at any time All
surrounding property is selling for
higher prices.
Go and look this property over if
you have not already done so, and
note the fine location and observe
the opportunity for rapid rise in
value of this property. You will be
pleased with it. The lots are all nice
and level; within easy walking dis
lance from the heart of the city and
to principal places of work.
The lots are located between Eighth
and Eleventh AYES. &c., and between
Rosecrans and Thomas Sts., immedi-
ately south of the Badger Ginseng
Co.'s garden.
Present prices run from $50 to $205 !;
when you see these lots you will con-
| clude at once that there are no other
such bargains offered anywhere in the
city
Immediately west Of this proposed
addition, and facing Eleventh Ave.
So, are being offered some fine acre
lots, but there are only eight of these
| acre lots left unsold at this writing.
There is no investment as safe as
| money invested in real estate, and
nothing as profitable, provided it is
bought at the right price and in the
right place.
Southwest Wausau has enjoyed a
steady, normal development for the
past fifteen years or over. More la
bor-employing institutions, and con-
sequently more homes have been
built there during that time than in
any other part of the city, and this
will undoubtedly continue in the fu-
ture, and why? Because the general
location and lay of the ground is in its
favor; no hills to climb, and no gullies
to be filled.
Call at the office and let us talk it
over. If you have not the time to
call during the day, call Tuesday or

WINTER CHASES US.

One of the beauties of this northern
Wisconsin is that we can, if we wish,
have variety of weather all in one
day, or for that matter in the course
of only a few hours. That is one rea-
son why we like this country. There
are few other sections so favored.
This condition was brought to us last
Sunday. The sun arose bright and as
clear as an EDITORS conscience. The
little brides sang their spring
'pomes,' and warbled glad praise
that Third street is to be repayed. 1t
got hot around nine o'clock, so that
the dew drops rolled off the pellets of
the many who knocked off church
work that day to get their set onions
planted. Then little breeze began
to blow through the spinach which
some men have their chins fenced in
with. This breeze at first was an
infant, but it took pink pills for pale
people and grew stronger, and soon
developed into mans size. Then old
Boreas pulled the plugs out of his ice
box, and allowed some of the cold air
to escape. And it kept on escaping
until snow came, .95 of an inch falling
as per government report, Geo. Halder
yeritier. Through the same source
we learn that the maximum temper
allure that day was AZ degrees and the
minimum IS degrees. There was
change of only 10 degrees, but with
out Geo. Halder's word for it you
would have to have such statement
subscribed and sworn to before no.
torious public or notary republican
to make one believe it. Yesterday
the average temperature was "a de-
grees. In speaking of the degrees we
should have said that they were all
above, but the Is felt as though they
were below.
1t takes more than one harem skirt
to make a summer.

Much OF the difficulty at lambing
time will be avoid. If the ewes have
been given proper care during the
few months covering the period OF
pregnancy. Ewes that have been
handled and taught to -eld to kind
treatment are easy to handle during
the Landing period.
There are various problems at ! NIB
tnging time that are puzzling to the
experienced shepherd, yet am safe in
saying that most of these problems are
the result Of negligence or the want
of the care and shelter. Thousands
OF lambs are an ually lost that might
have been saved II the sheperd had
10 the patience to see, that they re-
coed their first nourishment.
SO .ong as the eve is doing well it
is prudent to allow nature to take its
course but in case she s experiencing
difficulty 1t is often-times very hene-
l1cisl to assist her in bringing forth
her young. Many times the lamb is

she is more apt to disown 1t If she

Ewes that are heavy with lamb
should be handled very carefully and
al, openings where they pass through

crowding. Many dead lam;- are
born when the eve. are compelled to
pass through small openings and kept
