 IN BAD WAY

Msnv good offices have fallen to the Io. of the United States coast guard cutter McCulloch, which first won reputation the year after her building when she took part n the battle of Manila, and became known as ."Dewey's dlspatoh boat.
 On inc long cruise of Alaskan waters from which she has just re- turned, she added to her long list of services by her rescue of the crew of the Borden-Lane eNpedi- tiou ship Great Bear in August.
 Captain B. L. Reed told Thurs- day afternoon, another opportunity for service with which the McCul- loch met on her long patrol. In June she went out to the tip of the Aleutian Islands, and found the na- tiyes or the little villages which are strewn about the islands at the point of starvation.
 "Tbese natives" said Capt. Reed, "ars dependent wholly upon. their winters catch of fur for their comfort through the rest Of the year. None of the villages has more than hundred families, and soma have as few as thirty. In one Of these smaller villages we found practically every family at the starving point, and we furnished each family with a barrel of flour out of the government supply.

 Not one more important to health
 The kidneys are the filters of the blood,
 Wher they fail the blood becomes foul and poisonous.
 There can be no health where there is poinsoned blood
 Backache is one of the ire queat indications of kidney trouble.
 It is often the kidneys cry for help. Heed it.

FAIR EXCHANGE
A New Back for an Old One

The back achea at timeS with Q dull, iEdescribabla feeling, making you weary and restless; piercing pains shoot across the region of tho kidneys, and again the loins are so lame that to stoop is agony. No use to rub or apply plaster to the back if the kidneys are weak. You cannot reach the cause. Alaskan residents would do well to profit by the following example:
 Mrs. c. c. Fosdick, 6O15 S. Law ence St., Tacoma, w ash, says: My back WAS SO sore and painful that if l Bauted to take up any ethiug from the floor, I had to get down on my knees. There was a lump about the size of dollar over each Of my kidneys and this made my back SO tender and sore that, could hardly bear to have my clothes touch me. At night I could scarcely turn in bed and moruingG was so lame and sore that I could hardly get around. These troubles were brought on by cold settling in my kidneys. Doan's Kid neT Pills cured me-"

Nine times out of ten 1t Is over the Bridge of SiGhs that we pass the mar row gulf from youth to manhood. That interval Is usually occupied by an i'll placed or disappointed affection.
