Japanese native dentists conduct
their business In a manner which

the ground. The dentist bends over him
and forces his left hand between the
patients jaws In such a manner that
the mouth cannot possibly be closed.
Then he grasps the doomed tooth be
tween the thumb and foretnser ut the
right hand and with one dtft wrt nch
removes 1t and throws II upon the
ground.
So great is the skill Of these native
dentists that many Of them are able
to remove six or seven teeth per min.

wondered at when one considers the
course Of preparatory training they
are Obliged to undergo.
A number Of holes are bored in Il

to the ground. In the holes are driven
wooden pegs. and the would be dentist

TEN YEARS AGO
Ladysmith
Items from the Budget of this week in 1902
: HAAa zAAA

Ladysmith
The basis for building prosper
GUS town is a good agricultural re-
gion to support it. This Ladysmith
has without a doubt. Then, in adj
dition to. the thousands of acres of
land that are now cleared and hun
dreds of families located within a
few miles, is the fact that this point
is sure to become a manufacturing
town of considerable Importance.
First is the Menasha company with
it's extensive works, employing a
large number of hands, with timber
enough of it's own to keep it going
for twelve years to come. Then the
plow works now under way; the pulp
mill and the immense paper mill
which is progressing as fast as men
can be had to do the work. In adj
dition to these factories are num-
Der of sawmills close by, all of
which contribute to the support of
this town. While the fact that La
dysmith is the county seat has been
and always will be an important fac
tor in it's growth, it is easily seen
that it is only an incident and not
necessity; that the location and
the natural advantages will be sure
to make this the great central town
on the 500 Line between the Miss
issippi river and Sault Ste Marie.
Prentice VS.. Ladysmith
Prentice came, played and won, 6
to 8. The game of ball put up by
Prentice and Ladysmith last Sunday
was one of the best of the season.
Carter and Scoville, battery for La
dysmith, did very good work. The
visitors failed to score in the first
inning, while Ladysmith scored one.
Ladysmith had IA men die on bases
to Prentice's s. The game was a
hot one Munroe and Matt Ring were
umpires.

Many Ladysmith People Have Done
So.

When the kidneys are sick they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. By examining
the urine and treating the kidneys
upon the first sign of disorder, many
days of suffering may be saved. Sick
kidneys expel a dark, illsmelling ur-
inc, full of :brickdust' sediment and
painful in passage" Sluggish kidneys
cause a dull pain in the small of the
back, headaches, dizzy spells, tired
languid feelings and frequent rheu-
matte twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the
kidneys only; they help sick kidneys
to rid the blood of uric poison. If
you suffer from any of the above
symptoms you can use no better rem
edy.
