HAND CAPPED
This is the Case With Many
Webster People

Too many Webster citizens are
handicapped with bad backs. The
u~nceasing pains causes constant misery
making work a burden and STOPPING or
lifting an impossibility. The back
aches at night, preventing refreshing
rest and in the morning is stiff and
lame. Plasters and liniments may
give relief but cannot reach the cause.
To eliminate the pains and aches you
must cure the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for sick
kidneys-thousands testify to their
merits. Can you doubt Webster evil
dence.
Mrs. Edward Magnus, Webster, S.
D., says: II willingly recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills for l know them
to be an excellent kidney remedy.
They rid a member of our household of
an attack of kidney complaint after it
had reached d critical stage and had
failed to yield to other preparations.
This person had laid up for weeks by
torturing pains through the kidneys
and his back was so lame that he could
hardly get around. The contents of
the first box of Doan's Kidney Pills,
procured from the Irwin Pharmacy,
gave relief and by the time one box
had been used, every symptom of kid
ney trouble had disappeared"

Tired Mothers

A little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee that has so much to
bear.
A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath a thatch of tangled
hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet
touch
OF warm moist fingers holding yours
so tight
You do not prize this blessing over
much,
You are almost too tired to pray
tonight.
/ wonder so that mothers ever fret
At little children clinging to their
gown,
Or.that the footprints, when the days
are wet,
Are ever black enough to make them
frown.
If l could find a little muddy boot.
Or cap, or jacket, on my chamber
If ] could kiss a rosy, restless foot,
And hear it patter at my home once
more;
If. / could mend a broken cart today,
Tomorrow make a kite to reach the
S# sky
There is no woman in Gods world
could say
She was more blisfully content than /.
But ah, the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by a shining head;
My singing birding from its nest has
flown
The little boy / used TO kiss is dead!

Seed Grain Warming

Nerstrand, MINI, January IL, 1912.
Editor Reporter and Farmer, Web
ster, S. D.-Dear Sir--As | was look
ing over the Minneapolis Journal today
l saw that R. R. Commissioner Smith
is trying to get the railroads to give a
half rate on seed wheat. / always
understood that seed grain of all kinds
for your own use was shipped at half
rate and my informant was Alex. John
son of the C. N. w. Ry. Now there is
just one thing / want to warn brother
farmers about and that is quack grass.
From Montevideo east the country is
full of it, very few farms in the local
ity but what have a.touch of it and if
my land was free from it | could get
500 an acre for it. The best place for
South Dakota farmers to buy their seed
would be from northwestern Minnesota
or North Dakota. | want to tell you
it is no fool job to beat quack grass for
it sure is a sticker so | think one pound
of preventative in the case is worth
one thousand pounds of care. So the
way to keep quack grass out is
never buy any seed from a quack grass
farm. Take my word for it, brother, it
is one continuous scrap TO keep it down
and | think it would be well for every
farmer to test his seed grain this win
ter. Respectfully,
Ross E. Parks.

FIRE CHIEFS PLEA
FOR PENSIONERS
Motor Apparatus, Storage Cisterns,
and High Pressure System
Urged.

Stating that the depleted condition of
the pension fund has been the cause
OF great hardships and Inconvenience to
beneficiaries. Frank ]. Wagner, chief of
the fire department. In his annual report
to the Commissioners. made public yes
terday, again urges the immediate en-
actment Of legislation providing for the
establishment Of permanent and ade-
quats fund.
THE recent shortages" reads the re-
port, ''in the funds available for the pay
ment OF pensioners of the fire depart
ment, necessItating reduction in the
amount paid to each pensioner. has re-
suited in great hardship to those de-
pending upon the same, and II is ear
nestly requested that every effort be made
to secure the passage Of the legislation
now pending before Congress and which
will insure ample funds for the payment
OF pensions"
Chief Wagner also recommends the in
stallatIon OF additional motor propelled
fire fighting apparatus, and the estab-
lishment of additional storage cisterns in
the business section OF the city. such as
those now located at Seventh street
and Louisiana avenue and Tenth and d
streets northwest. The chief also urges
the installation OF a high pressure water
service in the District. The Commission
ers are urged to impress upon Congress
the necessity OF legislation providing for
a more satisfactory control Of moving
picture enterprises.
Fire losses during the year amounted
to S52s. covered by an insurance of
A.2l,SS. During the year there were
1,2S5 alarms sounded. The FIRE loss was
an increase over that of the preceding
year. OF the alarms sounded, ninety
four were false. This is thirty-two more
than the number OF false alarms during
the preceding year.
