Put That Pain to Use

AS to Doan's Kidney Pills, read the
following enthusiastic endorsement by
one who has tested them.

The network Of nerves in your body,
Hike the network of wires in a burglar
alarm system. gives quick warning
when anything is going wrong inside.
Looking at it in this way a pain is
q useful alarm. Now, kidney weak
ness is a dangerous thing-a condition
not to be neglected-and it is wise
to know and pay attention to the early
alarm signals of sick kidneys.
Backache is a common warning of
congestion or inflammation in the kid
neys. 1t may be dull, nagging pain, or
a sharp twinge when STOPPING or lift
ing. There are likely to be disorders
of urination, dizziness, headaches, and
drowsy, respondent, tired feelings.
1t is very hard to strengthen weak
kidneys at first, but neglect invites
rheumatic or neuralgia attacks, gravel,
dropsy, and fatal Bright's disease.
AS a special medicine for weak kid
neys Doan's Kidney Pills have been
used for years all over the civilized
world. and surely are considered reli-
able. The patient can always help the
medicine immensely, however, by diet
ing lightly. using little or no liquor,
tea or coffee. keeping regular hours
and drinking lots of pure water.

off the coast of Iceland and it's catch
realized $4,000, or $1,000 more than

instance, however, the owners were
helped by the keen demand for fish
from London.

A REBELLION
Food Demanded.

The human body will stand a lot Of
abuse, but sometime it will surely re-
bel and demand proper food in place
of the pasty, starchy, greasy stuffs or
which it has been made sick.
Then is the time to try Grape-Nuts,
the most scientific and perfect food in
the world.
A lady of Washington says: Three
years ago | was very i'll with catarrh
of the stomach and was given up to
die by one doctor. l laid in bed four
months and my stomach was so weak
that 1 could not keep down medicine
or hardly any kind of food and was SO
weak and emaciated after four months
OF this starvation that my daughter
could easily lift me from bed and put
me in my chair.
But weak as my stomach was, it
accepted. relished and digested Grape
Nuts without any difficulty the first
.ime that wonderful food was tried.
Il am nov strong and in better
health than for a great, many years
and am gradually growing still
stronger. rely on Grape-Nuts for
much of the nourishment that l get.
The results have certainly been won
derful in my case and prove that no
stomach is so weak it will not digest

NEEDS ROAD IMPROVEMENT
This is the Opinion of Churchill
County Held by Representa-
tive of Auto Interests.

w. j. Blumberg, a representative
of the automobile interests of San
Francisco and j. e. Lambert, an
auto enthusiast of Reno, were IN
Fallon Friday afternoon on their
way to Reno from a 14-day auto trip
throughout Nevada. When they
have gone across the state along the
railroad tie route, better called the
Central Pacific railroad route, they
will have covered practically every
auto route of Importance within the
state.
Nowhere, they said, had they
found such roads as exists between
Fallon and the Grimes ranch. In
other parts of the county they found
the thoroughfares equal to the ay-
erage. Much credit is due this
county, they think. for the excellent
work done in New Pass canyon. but
until corrected in this Office, they
believed the statement made In
Austin that Lander county officials
and people had done this work.
There are now 800 automobiles
travelling westward from eastern
points, Mr.. Blumberg said, and
nearly all are going the southern
route into Los Angeles, which road
enjoys boosting from Salt Lake Cil.
and Ely auto enthusiasts, with the
result that the Lincoln Highway and
its many points of intense scenic In
terest are lost to the auto traffic.

WATER PAYMENTS POSTPONED
Secretary of the Interior Frank.
lin K. Lane Issues Another
Dispensation to Settlers.

Office of the Secretary of the In
terror, Washington, May 20, 1914.
The Secretary of the Interior to-
day issued the following order af-
fecting the settlers on Reclamation
projects:
No action under order of June
%, 1913, will be taken awaiting ac-
tion of Congress on Extension bill
If said bill is not enacted into law
by August /, an order will be made
requiring payment by August Is. If
passed, an order will be made by Au-
gust IS in conformity with the terms
of the new law"
On June %, 1913, in order to
meet the needs of many settlers on
the projects, Secretary Lane issued
an order which reduced by two
thirds the building charge last due
on the water right application of
each water user, and ordered that
there should be no cancellation of
entries or water right applications
for delinquency in payments until
December /, 1913.
In anticipation of the passage of
the proposed 20 year extension bill
which would greatly relieve the set
tiers as to their payments, the Secre-
tary has from time to time further
extended the date for payment until
June /, 1914.
The present order is TO give
ample notice that in case of the fall
ure of congress to pass the relief bill
approved by the Department, it will
be necessary for the settlers to
make the payments in question by
August 10. These payments have
remained unpaid for much more
than year and the Secretary has
postponed action from time to time
on the assumption that congress
would come to the relief of the
water users. The Secretary recog-
nizes fully the necessity for the re-
lief which is proposed in this bill
and which has passed the senate He
has made strong representations in
urging its passage by the House of
Representatives, and takes the pres
ent action in order that payments
may be made this summer before the
situation is further complicated by
falling due of another instalment.

COUNTY FAIR WILL BENEFIT
County Commissions Decide to
Allow 1914 Truckee-Carson
Fair Sum of $500.

The county commissioners acted
well Monday when they granted an
appropriation of $500 for the
1914 Truckee-Carson fair. In addi-
tion to insuring, together with the
funds that will be at the fair man
agement's disposal from state and
private sources, an ample premium
list, this sum is certain of finding its
way back into the pockets of the
farmers, who contribute most
largely to the success of fairs, and
who pay substantial part of the
taxes. No matter how considered
the county appropriation Is justified,
and the only cause for regret, prob
ably, lies in the fact that our coun-
tvs funds will not allow an ap-
preparation double the one granted.
]. w. Ferguson, D. w. Cole and
Geo. E. Sherman formed the COM
mittee presenting the fair associ-
atoms need to the commissioners.
The reponse of the county authori-
ties, together with the assurances
from local business interests and the
state appropriation will allow of 4
more attractive fair than has ever
been given here, and that's saying a
good deal. A 100-mile automobile
road race Is now being planned, and
it is probable that a part of the
horse racing program will be sacri-
feed for this spectacular sport. 1t
is argued that 10-mile course can
be had in this valley, which will al
low greater speed than other speed
ways in the state.
Liberal prizes are also promised
by the fair management for vege-
table and stock exhibits and the
women's department will be given
more eonsiderate treatment than
ever before.

nature OF the route he was more

prizes bringing the value OF his
