HOUSEWORK IS A HEAVY BURDEN

The woman who 'keeps house" has
enough to do when she is in good, sound
health, but if she is weak, tired all the
time, and suffering from morn to night
with an aching back, house-work becomes
q heavy burden.
Many women who were afflicted in this
way say that Doan's Kidney Pills have
made life easier for them.
Women are subject to kidney disease.
The clothing they wear, the work they do,
the worry and strain Of bearing and rear
ing children. the lack of proper exercise;
all tend to It.
Backache, b~earing-down pains, headache,
dizzy spells, faintness, fits of blues" and
other troubles often thought to be peculiar
to the sex, are found frequently in kidney
disease. When any one of these ills ap-
pears, together with a discolored condi-
tion of the kidney secretions, with passages
too frequent, scanty or burning, just make
up your mind that your kidneys are weak,
and be quick to help them.
Doan's Kidney Pills have helped a great
many weak women through the trying
times when kidney disease means so much
added misery. They do not disturb the
stomach or bowels and contain no poison
Gus, dangerous nor habit-forming drugs.
Doan's are harmless for children too.

New Swine Disease.

Misunderstanding new in the
way of a disease among hogs seems to
have made its appearance in Douglas
county on farms of G. Noteboom and
S. Veenstra. These gentlemen no.
ticed that several of their pigs were
sickly aud dropped around for several
days when it was observed that the
skin was becoming hard and crack
ing open and that a new skin was
forming under the old one. There
seems to be every indication that
these are going to shed their skin like
a snake. After the process of she'd
ding is well under way the hogs seem
as lively and well as ever. 1t is mot
known whether this is a kind of
hog disease or just a freak of nature.

Swine Breeders Sale.

Mitchell.-The annual swine sale of
the South Dakota Improved Live
Stock Breeders association, held in
the stock pavilion, was attended by
1000 farmers and breeders from all
sections of the state. The bidding
was spirited and the prices realized
were very satisfactory to the sellers
when the conditions of the season are
taken into consideration, with special
reference to the short crops and the
scarcity of money. Fifty-four head OF
hogs were sold at an aggregate of 81,
PAS. Twenty-six Duroc Jerseys sold for
S1,101. Fourteen Poland Chinas
brought 1854, and IL Chester Whites
aggregated S4,662.50. Two Duroc Jer.
sey sows topped the market at $50

SAVINGS BANKS IN SCHOOLS.
Sioux Falls Plan to Teach Children
Value of Money.

Sioux Falls.-There Is a plan on foot
which is now nearing maturity, for the
establishing of a savings bank in each
of the public schools of the city. The
banks will be under the direction OF
the board of education. The system
is what is known as the stamp plan.
Each pupil will be provided with a
card and the teacher will have stamps.
When a pupil banks a certain amount
of money he or she will be given
stamps to correspond with the same
and these stamps will be pasted on the
cards for safe keeping. When any
pupil has fifty of the stamps on the
card the latter is taken to the bank
designated and receives credit for a
deposit of so cents. The money once
in the hands of the teacher cannot
be withdrawn, and the cards cannot be
deposited until there are stamps rep
resenting so cents on them. Then the
money can only be withdrawn from
the bank upon the written order OF
the parents.

PIMPLES COVERED HIS BACK

my troubles began along IN the
summer In the hottest weather and
took the form Of small eruptions and
itching and a kind Of smarting pain.
It took me mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with a mass OF
pimples which would burn and itch at
night SO that I could hardly stand 1t.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was a solid lass
Of big sores which would break open
and run. My underclothing would be
q clot of blood.
81 tried various remedies and salves
for nearly three years and l was not
getting any benefit. 1t seemed I was
in eternal misery and could not sleep
on my back or lean on a chair. I was
finally given a set Of the Cuticura
Remedies and inside OF two weeks I
could see and feel a great relief. I
kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and also the Resolvent, and In about
three or four months time my back
was nearly cured and I felt like a new
being. Now I am in good health and
no sign Of any skin diseases and I
am fully satisfied that Cuticura Rene
dies are the best ever made for skin
diseases. I would not be without
them" (Signed) w. A. Armstrong,
Corbin, Kan, May 26, 1911. Although
Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold
by druggists and dealers everywhere,
a sample Of each, with 32-page book,
will be mailed free on application to
"Cuticura," Dept. L, Boston.

DRIVEN ALMOST IA
A Terrible Tale Of Kidney sufferIn,

Mrs. H. w. Heagy, 1915 L St., Baker,

in the fall of 1907. i used remedy after

lief came and / was in despair. On ao-
count of the numbness and grating sensa-
ton / could not lie down comfortably and
some nights / was not in bed half an hour.
/ became so nervous and restless / hardly
knew what to do. Hot waves came over
me like a flash and 1 became so dizzy that
/ staggered. / had a feeling as if there
was gravel in my bladder, the kidney Sc
c~retions acting too freely at times, while
again they were very scant and accom-
panied by terrible pain. / cannot describe
the suffering l endured for over two years
Finally l began using Doan's Kidney Pills
and while / did not notice much relief for
a week or so, i continued persistently and
when / had taken eight boxes / was feel
ing fine. The numbness and smarting fin
ally left, the kidney secretions became
clear and natural and my health improved
one hundred percent. Doan's Kidney Pills
cured me at a time when it seemed that
l would go crazy and l never can express
nv gratitude"
