Is 1T YOUR KIDNEYS?
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Trouble-A Madison Citizen
Gives n Valuable Hint.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will 500 correct itself. And sc it is
with all the other symptoms of kid
ney disorders. That is where dan
ger often lies. You should realize
that these troubles often lead to
dropsy or Bright's disease. An eff
fective remedy for weak or diseased
kidneys is Doan's Kidney Pills. Read
the experience Of a resident of Mad
ison. who has tested Doan's.
G. |. Brannan, farmer, r. f. D..

scented, | first used them through

EXPRESS RATES
FINES WITHHELD PENDING SET
ELEMENT OF SOUTH DA-
k0TA CASE.

Sioux City, Oct. 19.-Fines will
not be imposed against the American
and Wells-Fargo Express companies
for charging rates other than those
provided in the published tariffs for
shipments within the state of South
Dakota, according to an agreement
made between the companies and the
interstate commerce commission.
The express companies violated the
rules of the commission because the
supreme court ordered a temporary
injunction ordering them TO ignore
the order of the commission, which
raised rates from jobbing points in
South Dakota to all cities and towns.
The rules of the commission give
power to impose a fine of $1,000 for
each violation of the tariffs issued
by IL. In making the agreement
with the express companies the in
terstate commerce commission or
ders them to maintain a record of all
shipments until the cases are finally
disposed of by the courts in order
that rebates may be made to all

CRUCIAL GAMES
SOUTH DAKOTA COLLEGE TEAMS
WILL FIX STATUS THIS
WEEK.

Nermillion, Oct. 19.-Football con
tests of this week will eliminate all
but two ~contenders for the college
championship of South Dakota and
will give, by comparative scores
against a powerful outside eleven.
the first line on the relative strength
of the two likely survivors of the
early elimination games.
Although South Dakota state at
Brookings must dispose of Yankton
Saturday in order to remain in the
lists with state university. 1t is ex-
peeted that Ewing's team will not
have great difficulty in turning the
trick. Yankton so far this season
has not been defeated, and has been
known in the past to show surprising
form in her biggest state games. But
the Yankton victories have been over
minor teams, and State has shown
considerable strength in contests
with Minnesota and Wisconsin uni
versities, on foreign fields. The
Misunderstanding game will be at
Brookings.
University, after having swarmed
all over Wesleyan last week. aggre-
eating So points, will tackle the
Gophers at Minneapolis Saturday.
The improved work of a shifted team
against the Methodists has given rise
again TO some hope of victory against
Minnesota, but this is not encouraged
by Coach McKusick. Confidence is
felt, however, that the Coyote de-
Tense will be able to better the show
ing made by State, which dropped a
battle with Minnesota on October z
by a Al to z score.
State college and the university do
not meet this year. So the only
method of selecting an actual state
champion this year probably will be
that based on comparative scores.
The Minnesota games will afford the
best chance for a satisfactory reckon
ing along this line, and unless the
university this week can succeed in
decisevly lettering States showing
on Northrop field, a disputed cham
pionship is probable. States con
test with Wesleyan late in the season
will give another chance for compar-
ison. Victory for Yankton Saturday,
of course, would upset all these prob
abilities.

PROHIBITION A FAILURE
The theory of Prohibition is ABSOLUTELY CONDEMNED by the
Hearst newspapers albeit they have RECEIVED CONCENTRATION from
the Prohibihonists and AntiSaloon League for their EFFORTS in Be
HALF of TRUE TEMPERANCE.
No greater agencies exist for shaping public opinion than the Hearst
newspapers-wrh their millions Of readers from New England to Cali
fornia. The following from the Chicago American reflects the sentimen
of the Hearst publications:
Here in America with the best of intentions, many citizens advocate
absolute Prohibition. This prohibition classes whisky, gin, brandy and
the other alcoholic posons with the light wines and light beers-that are
as different from whisky as tobacco i, different from opium
AS a result, where prohibition is made law, the mild and compare
lively harmless stimulants are driven ut because they cannot be hidden.
