GOLD DISCOVERY IN KAMIAH

We have always imaglre4 that
Kamiah had some of as good prospec-
tors as ever followed a lead over a
mountain, but, it has been left to a
tenderfoot at the game to discover free
gold in Kamiah in the person of Har-
mon T. Smith, of the Dissmore Merean-
tile company. However, he was assist
ed by his wife in the discovery, who,
while dissecting a chicken had him per.
form the operation upon the bird IS gig
card when three bright pieces of metal
attracted his curiosity, one of them
was as large as pea. After a due
amount of expert opinion was had it
was decided that the same was gold.
A short time afterward another bird
was killed and one large piece found in
it.
The sacks in which Mr.. Smith keeps
his chicken feed are old ore sacks from
Elk City and he is of the opinion that
accounts for the gold being used for

pose of them. The funds derived from
the sale of the second issue of bonds is

Kidney e Co.
(BY DIR. J. a. wArsoN)

The kidneys and the skin work in bar
mony. They're companions, the skin
being the second partner. II we are
anxious to keep well and preserve the
vitality of the kidneys and, also, free the
blood from noxious elements, we must
pay special attention to good action Of
the skin and to see that the kidneys are
flushed go as to eliminate the poisons
from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or in bath,
at least once week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition. Flush
the kidneys by drinking plenty Of pure
water with meals and between meals.
Occasionally obtain at the nearest drug
store Anuric, which will help flush the
kidneys and the intestines- You will find
that Anuric is many times more active
than hthia and that it dissolvcs uric
ncid as Of water does sugar.
