CRYING FOR HELP

The kidneys cry for help.
Not an organ IN the whole body so
dellcately constructed
Not one so important to health.
The kidneys are the filters of the
blood.
When they fail the blood becomes
foul aud poisonous.
There can be no health where there
IS poisoned blood.
Backache is one of the first indica-
tions of kidney trouble
1t is the kidneys cry for help. Heed
it.
Doan's kidney pills are just what is
wanted
Are just what overworked kidneys
need.
They strengthen and invigorate the
kidneys help them to do their work.

Mrs. Andy Beatty, 722 Prospect

KEROSENE USED
TO CAUSE DECAY

Many people are al work on the
logged-of land problem in the yicln-
tity Of Spokane. Some try one wav
and some another Of clearing the lard
Among those who are building homes
Tor themselves upon the lands which
were once in timber and brush is l..
w. Perkins Of Belair. few miles out
OF Spokane. Mr.. Perkins remembered
that IN the east some practised boring
into oak stumps and filing the hole
with saltpeter, finding that the salt
peter IN comparatively short time
would rot the stump.
About two years ago Mr.. Perkins
bored, with a two-inch augurl from
the top into one of the green pine
stumps on his place, which stood a
foot or so out of the ground and was a
foot in diameter. He filled the hole
with kerosene. A little later he bor ed
anoher hole at right angles at the foot
OF the stump and tried to fire it by
putting IN shavings, but found il use
less. Two or three days ago a man
employed on Mr.. Perkins place. in
digging. came across the stump treated
with oil and found one of its roots to
give way at once, crumbIing into a
mass. The stump itself looked as
solid from the outside as any of the
others, but upon striking into it it was
found to be a mass of punk, being
easily dug and removed. The other
stumps were still solid.
Mr.. Perkins is wondering whether
or not two-inch augur, little kero-
sene oil and a year or two of time will
not be about the cheapest way that the
ordinary man has for removing stumps.
Another stump into which Mr.. Per
klns put saltpeter about half the length
OF the hole, was found to contain a
erystallized stick of the saltpeter.
While the stump itself, to all appear
