Mrs. p. Schoendeman, 814 Bemidji
Ave-, Bemidji, Mimi, says: Zone of
the family had trouble from his
back and kidneys, caused by hard
work. He suffered badly from lame
ness across his loins. Whenever he
stopped he could hardly get up
again. Two years ago, while living
in Brainerd, he was having so much
trouble that he knew he had to do
something. Doan's Kidney Pills were
recommended to him as the best
remedy for kidney disorders and he
began taking them. In a short time
he was rid of the trouble. Since then
he has taken Doan's Kidney Pills
occasionally and has always had
quick relief. We have great faith in

tor cars were generally forbidden in
the Ottoman Empire up to 1908, the
rapid development of the trade may
be realized from an inspection of the

motor trucks, gasoline driven deliv-
cry wagons and hospital ambulances,
all imported in the last three years.

When the eight-hour law came be-
fore the supreme court Of the United
States that honorable body had . new
experience. Instead of listening to an
argument based on what Ny Honored
Lord Justice Thingumbob II Queted

Records of 1649, page xxx and
what an honorable Judge II supposed
70 have subsequently said In the way
Of comment but az obiter dicta on the
thoughts Of the previous Honorable
Do-Funny; the supreme court judges
sat up and listened to an array OF
facts on the subject Of how tired q
woman may become who works 10 to
IL hours q day.
These facts were set out In Stats
tical, medical and other telling fash
ion. The Justices were told how the
race could be injured. how human be-
ings degenerate under overworlx. how
fatigue generates a poison IN the sys-
TEN, and these facts and statements
were backed up with overwhelming
proof. The argument on that occasion
was presented by Louis Brandeis. and
the brief which was placed In their
hands was prepared by woman, Jo-
sephine Goldmark. who happens to be
a sister-in-law Of Louis Brandefs. The
judges reacted favorably to this new
educational process and withheld their
veto from the eight-hour law.
