WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE
 WEAK BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches and Ills of Putnam
 People

As one weak link weakens chain, so may weak kidneys weaken the whole body and hasten the final break ing-down.
 Overwork, strains, colds and other causes injure the kidneys, and gen orally when their activity is lessened the whole body suffers.
 Aches and pains and languor and urinary ills frequently come, and there is an evef-ineFeasing tendency towards dropsy, gravel or fatal Bnght's dis. ease. When the kidneys fail there is no real help for the sufferer except kidney help.
 Deans Kidney Pills act directly on the kidneys. Putnam testimony is pfoof of their effectiveness.
 Mrs. Samuel MaTtineau, Putnam, says: "For years suffered from kid ney trouble, the worst symptom being pain in the small Of the back. 1 WAS also bothered by weakness Of my kid nevs. I noticed that the kidney secre- tions were unnatural and when 1 heard Doan's Kidney Pills highly rec commended l began using them. They removed the pains in my i5aek and made me feel better in every way
 Mrs. Martineau is only one Of many Putnam people who lave gratefully endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills If your back aches-if your kidneys bother you don | sim ply ask for kid ney remedy--ask distinctly for Deans s Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs. Mar tineau had-fhe remedy backed by home testimony. 5ec all stores.

 He brought out the bundle of bonds and looked thoughtfuIly about the room. His eye fell upon chocolate set on side table.
 He was still at the pot, tueking the bundle of bonds inside out of sight. when there came a series of bangs on the door or the room into which he had herded the family. while Mrs Cars voice called out imperiousiy. open this door

 Much obliged. Now, Miss Caroline. I'll take yours
 All my winter furs, sealskins and sables are in my dressing closet" an nounced Caroline.
 Jack Doogan's brown eyes glisten- ed as he wrote: "Sealskins and sables in the dressing closet" He repeated this aloud as if he enjoyed the sound of such rich swag and asked casually. Have you the key to the closet?
 The key to the closet is in loans steamer trunk" was Caroline's reply. And you have the key to the trunk" Yes" nodded Doogan. "So l have Next"
 Madge stepped forward and hesi- gated a little before she confessed. "l have about S4 GOO in cash hidden in the linen closet. on the floor. under the rug

 T wonder if I'm awaker' muttered Doogan.
 Mrs. Carr sailed into the open wa ters in front of Jack Doogan and. with her customary dignity. proclaimed Some valuable papers and a diamond suuburst in the safe.
 "I got that" remarked Doogan. Do you mean this safe in front of the tabe?'

The Dickinson press., 1914-08-15

Last spring, after the fire at Man
ming, the commissioners advertised
for bids for a new court house and
after getting bids finally decided not
to give anyone a contract, notwith-
standing the fact that one proposal
or a building was considered very
reasonable. The newly appointed
board, consisting of Messrs. Anders,
Sadowsky and Anderson, took the
matter up last week and decided to
re-advertise ror court house bids. The
two first mentioned members voted
for the proposition, Mr. Anderson
voting against it. Bids will be
opened on September 9th, a little over
a month before election, at which
time the voters Of Dunn county are
to express themselves onScounty seat
removal. If the people vote to move
the county seat from Manning to
Dunn. Center, it is not likely that the
board will do anything about a new
building at Manning, butshould it
be shown tina tWo-thirds the
people out north are not in favor Of
moving the seat of government from
Manning, then there could be no
question about the immediate need
of a court house to replace the one
burned. The present action of the
board costs the county but little and
will enable the board to start work
at once in case the removal does not
carry at the polls.

Of the principal causes Of the strained
financial situation. However, the ar
rival Of $4O,OOO,OOO at the sub-treas-

few days. The Aldrich-Vreeland

danger of a money panic. IN fact
there was no cause for alarm atsany

In Bowman county it became nee
essary last week for the county sup
erintendent of schools to send out
warning notices to members Of school
boards to look out for a man by the
name of Adams who was selling
copies of an agricultural map for
S42.5O each. School board directors
ought to be careful about letting the
agent with an oily tongue sell their
district a mess of stuff that is not
really practical for use in the school
and at an exhorbitant price If it was
all right. The better way when an
agent comes around to sell something
that the members Of the board know
nothing about, would be to wait un-
til they could communicate with the
county superintendent Of schools.

states, Greece, Rumonia, Sgryia, Mont
cncgro aud Bulgaria are pledged to
Join in q fight against Turkey.
News from CouStantinoplc that Ger

tempting to induce Turkey to Join in

suit of uniting all the Balkan states
in a common cause against her old en-
emv. Bulgaria, on the verge of war
with Greece several times, is pledged
to join with her old allies in defending
the Balkans from Turkish attack. This
was announced officially yesterday.
The Bulgarian army is scmi-mobil-
ized and would require little time to
get ready for action Adyices from the
other Balkan states show that they too
are keeping their military and naval
forces ready for Immediate war.
Every citizen knows now what the

LONDON. Sept. To-day on the
44th anniversary OF the battle of Sc
dan 100000 are fighting on the
French frontier. That the Germans
have gained ground in their encircling
movement on French left wing is ad-
mitted by the French foreign office
but it is also asserted that after a
three days battle the Anglo-French
line. although pushed back still remains
unbroken.
The heaviest fighting appears to he
taking place along the line from Per
onne to Nervins and there the flower
of Emperor William ; army is trying
to pierce the British defense.
The only point where the French
claim to have gained positive success
es are in the Nosges mountains and in
Lorraine, where the Germans are sale
to be in retreat.
