Backache Makes Anyone Feel Old

Nothing ages anyone more quickly than
weak kidneys.
1t is not alone the aching back, the stIffi,
painful joints, but the evil effect OF BAD,
poisoned blood on the nerves, the vital
organs and the digestion. d.
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 f~ltering 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 r.
ritated, and the circulation, digestion, etc.,
are disturbed.
IL your back aches constantly, II 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 ar
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 foI
weak or diseased kidneys. They act quick
ly; contain no poisonous nor habit-form
ing drugs and leave no bad after-atfect:
of any kind-iust make you feel better al
over.

METHOD OF STOPPING LEAKS
Concrete-Waterproofing Work 10 De-
scribed by Correspondent OF the
Engineering Record.

The method of stopping leaks In
concrete, described by a correspond
ent of the Engineering Record, con-
sists in plastering the wet, leaking
surface of the concrete with water
PROCEED mortar. The mortar is kept
from being washed away by suitable
bracing against a properly constructed
gasket.
Assuming that a leak is to be re-
paired in a basement wall, Fig. l.
one foot or more above the floor, the
loose material should be seraped or
dug away. leaving a saucer-shaped
cavity as large in diameter as neces-
sary. If the holes through which the
water is leaking are large enough
they can be stopped with plugs Gov
cred with patches of burlap driven II
tightly.
The form is then prepared. In case
the diameter Of the saucer-shaped
hole is six inches, a board, A, Fig. 2
two inches thick and eight inches
square, will be required. A one
| fourth-inch twisted-burlap rope, 3, is
tackled on the board and the latter
nailed to & brace G.
Enough one-to-two mortar. water
proofed, is prepared, to which has
been added, just before leaving the
| mixing box, bichromate of soda TO the
| amount of one or two per cent. OF the
| cement. This is added to make the
mortar quick setting. The mortar il
| placed on the board in a ~cone-shapet
mass and then thrust quickly ant
| firmly with a twisting motion int
the cavity. The brace is driven int
place at the same time. The process
is illustrated in Fig. 8. The twisting
motion aids in forcing the mortar int
the smallest ~creyices and drives ava,
such parts of the mortar as may hav
been squeezed out between the cor
crete and the gasket.
A very simple application Of tn
method is shown in Fig. 4. A NOR
difficult application, but not imprat
ticable, is II where it is desired t

Hand, Foot and Nose of Common Mole.

Hand, Foot and Nose of Common Mole.
The strength of these little animals is
marvellous. They will heave up the
surface of a path trodden SO hard
that repeated blows of a pick will be
needed to break the crust.
Ordinarily the mole makes his way
through the soil as a root does, or a
stake when driven by the blows of a
sledge. The earth is not ~excavated,
but simply crowded aside. When the
ground becomes very hard, of course,
the mole is obliged to excavate the
passageways and push the loose dirt
out through the openings of the roof
of his tunnel.
The mole keeps at work. all through
the winter in places where the ground
is not frozen too hard. He works
more frequently in the morning and
evening.
Moles do very little harm to the
roots of grain, grasses or vegetables.
except in pushing the soil aside, and
they live principally on the white
grub, earth-worms and beetles.
He thus proves himself to be q
friend to mankind, because grubs are
the greatest scourges of grass and
other valuable plant roots.

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Growth of Drug Habit in United States
Alleged to Be Due to Opiates
Ordered in Prescriptions.

That SO per cent. of all the cocaine
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.
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.
at 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. "State
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.
THE worst of it is that the impor
tation of opium into the country il
becoming larger and larger year by
year. I have heard it said on reliable
authority that SO per cent of the co
caine and morphine manufactured il
this country is used by persons wht
have formed the habit through doc
tors prescriptions"
Almost simultaneously with DR.. Keb
ler's address, DR.. J. A. Patterson, a
Grand Rapids, Michigan, in a public
statement said that 10 out of every q
patients who come to an institution
with which he is connected for treat
ment for the drug habit owe thei
downfall to physicians prescriptions

VALUE OF THE DRILL SYSTEM
Question Most Frequent IN Discus
sions on Wheat Raising Is An
swered by Many Farmers.
BY l.. c.

The value of the drill is the ques-
ton most frequent in discussions on
wheat raising. The results of foul
years tests in Iowa are found to be
AZ bushels of winter wheat gain per
acre when the grain was drilled, over
that which was broadcasted. This,
figured at 20 cents per bushel, the
average price of wheat for the time
covered by the experiment, shows a
balance of $2.95 per acre in favor of
drilling.
The opinion of farmers in all parts
of the country seems to be about the
same, when it comes to the value of
the drill.
Edward Lefot of Minnesota says:
give pecks per acre is the usual
quantity sown when the wheat is
drilled, and six pecks broadcast. Elk
periments seem to indicate that q
larger quantity of seed does not in
crease the yield. l prefer drilling to

ence and patience makes the matter
easy.
A good waterproofing mixture is
made as follows: Concentrated I've,
one-third pound; powdered alum
three-fourths pound, which should be
mixed in one gallon of water at least
one hour before using. All of this
mixture is used to n sack of cement
and is poured in at the same time as
the water used to temper the mortar.
