reached the point where he had dizzy,
weak spells, and sometimes he would
almost faint with pain. Of course.
he doctorcd, went eff to the mineral
springs and drank waters of different
kinds, which altogether cost him a
large sum CT money. Still no per-

who recommends Foley Kidney Pills,
and after using half dozen bottles,
his pains are all gone, he sleeps
soundly all night.
When kidney and bladder trouble

AZURE outside may be 40 below

ON the land although the sur
rounding country is fertile.
Prior to the coming of the
white men to the northwest, the
spot was a favorite hating place
for migratory Indians, who found
lit warm there in winter. Many
traces of Indians have been found
in the form Of arrow and spear
heads, hatchets and bones. John
Marlenee, a pioneer resident of
Velva. says his family camped on
this ground on their journey from
western Wisconsin to California
in is49. The place was famous
then among the Indians.
University biologists say the
explanation Of the mystery lies
in the fact that extensive Ignite
coal veins underlying the region
were set afire in some manner
many hundred of years ago and
have been burning ever since. Es-
Gaping gas from the combustion
accounts for occasional coyotes
and grouse which are found on
the ground asphyxiated. The coal
