Backache Makes Anyone Feel Old

Nothing ages anyone more quickly than
weak kidneys.
1t is not alone the aching back, the stiff,
painful joints, but the evil effect of bad,
poisoned blood on the nerves, the vital
organs and the digestion.
The condition of the kidneys makes good
health or ill-health.
The kidneys are the filters of the blood.
Active kidneys filter from the blood ev-
cry day over one ounce of poisonous waste
and pass it off dissolved in the urine.
If the kidneys are weak or diseased, only
part of this fltering is done and the blood
is heavy with uric acid and other poison
GUS or waste matter. ,,.
Instead of being nourished by the
blood, the nerves and vital organs are ir-
ritated. and the circulation, digestion, etc.,
are disturbed.
If your back aches constantly, if your
joints are stiff, lame and painful, suspect
the kidneys.
Kidney sufferers are likely to feel dull.
heavy, restless at night. rheumatic. dizzy
at times, subject to headaches and an
noyed with sharp, piercing pains that
make work an agony and rest impossible.
Doan's Kidney Pills are the best-recom-
mended and most widely used remedy for
weak or diseased kidneys. They act quick
ly; contain no poisonous nor habit-form-
ing drugs and leave no bad after-affects
Of any kind-just make you feel better all
over.

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Alleged to 30 Due to Opiates
Ordered In Prescriptions.

That 80 per cent. Of all the cocaine
and morphine manufactured in this
country is used by persons who have
formed the drug habit through physi-
clans prescriptions is the startling
statement made by DR., L. F. Kebler,
Chief of the Division OF Drugs, Depart
ment Of Agriculture. This statement,
and others, proving that physicians
and not patent" medicines are re-
sponsible for the appalling growth of
drug addiction in the United States
was made by DR.. Kebler in an address
at Washington, before the American
Society for the Study Of Alcohol and
Narcotics. -<, -..5
Dr.. Kebler is quoted by Washington
papers as having declared that drug
using had increased 100 per cent. in
the last 40 years, and that American
medical men were not discriminating
enough in their use of opiates. Their
overindulgence to their patients, he
said, Is creating thousands of drug
users every year.
1T is a very sad thing to say that
our physicians are doing the greatest
work In promoting the use Of cocaine
and morphine" said the doctor. Estate
laws are not saving the public from
the grip Of the drug habit, and the
American public is sinking tighter
and tighter into the black abyss Of
the morphine and cocaine fiend.
1.-THE worst Of it Is that the impor-
tation of opium into the country is
becoming larger and larger year by
year. I have heard 1t said on reliable
authority that 80 per cent. of the CO.
caine and morphine manufactured in
this country is used by persons who
have formed the habit through doc
tors prescriptions"
Almost simultaneously with DR.. Keb-
ler's address, DR.. J. A. Patterson, at
Grand Rapids, Michigan, in a public
statement said that 10 out of every 20
patients who come to an institution
with which he Is connected for treat
ment for the drug habit owe their
downfall to physicians prescriptions.

To Foot Stockings.

To refoot stockings, crochet the
foot and leg together with short
stitch, using, a silky cotton, writes a
contributor to Modern Priscilla. It
should be crocheted loose enough so
that when the foot and upper are pull
ed the edges will meet. In this way
it avoids seam and will not hurt
the ankle. Previously always had
trouble with the sewing ripping when
putting the stocking on: it would not
give, and the thread would crack.
Since I have tried this way do not
have any trouble. The crochet
stretches with the stocking.

Land tenure and land service in Finland pre-

points actual survvals OF federal times.
The class Of peasant which may be called ia
borer-farmers"} consists of men who receive no
wages They occupy buildings belonging to the
landowner, which they required to keep in
repair The landowners make grants OF seed
and other necessaries, and Of certain lands which
the laborer-farmers cultivate for their own bene-
ht They have free access to the forest for fuel
and for lumber for repairs In return they are
obliged to work for the landowner with their
own families and horses. On holdings. where
there is clay the laborerfarmers are allowed to
make bricks and to earn what they can by sales,
paying much per cent their gains to their
landowner. a. -4s
Many laborer-farmers are quite well off, and,
whilst they retain their status peasants, their
sons and daughters sent to excellent schools
