WHEN HER BACK ACHES
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and Ambition
 Slipping Away.

rBrinkleyfwomen know how the aches and fpains that often comeNwhen the kidneys fail make life aNburden. Backache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy spells, distressing urinary troubles, are frequent indications of weak kidneys and should be checked in time. Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only. They attack kidney diseases by strik- ing at the cause.
 Can Brinkley sufferers desire stronger proof than this Bald knob woman's word?
 Mrs. T. l.. Stewart, Baldknob, Ark, says: Whenever my kid neys start acting irregularly or my back aches or if 1 have swell ling in my joints and muscles l immediately go and get Doan' S Kidney Pills and take them. The result is that 1 am always given relief. 1 don't know what would have done without Doan's s Kidney Pills and 1 am most grateful to them"

gan his work with the company when
such men as Jim Bradford, Ed. Mat
thews, Cal Richie, Geo. Booth, NJ. E.
Duxstad, Bob Lowe and a number Of
others were in their prime. These
men have grown old in the service
and number of them have passed
from the scene of action while Frank
was passing to the prime of life.
Frank when boy always compli-
mented his brother Fred, who a num-
Der of years ago retired from the SER
vice of the D. & r. G. and engaged
in business, because, as he said, his
brother did not spend his money fool
ishly but was of business turn Of
mind Frank used to wonder if he
would be able to turn his mind to
business like his brother Fred did.
Those who have known him thru the
past 20 years realize that he has ac-
complished much along the line Of his
wishes when he was yet a boy.
For years he worked steadily on
the road, investing successfully oc-
casionally here and there in business
of various kinds, until some two
years ago he decided to go into the
ranch and cattle business. He had
always been booster for the San
Juan country and when the time came
for his entry into the cattle business
he looked the country over from Pu-
eblo to the San Juan and finally se-
lected the Chapson ranch above Pago-
sa Springs which is said to be one
of the very best ranches in this state
All our auto drivers in crossing the
Wolf Creek pass go right thru Frank
Edmisten's ranch. When we come
back from the San Luis valley and
are descending this side of the divide
we suddenly look down upon one Of
the most beautiful of ranches. This
is the Edmisten ranch and is only s
short distance above, on the West
Fork, where the two forks unite tc
form the San Juan.
Frank Edmisten came over to take
in the San Juan fair and to spend the
week with his sister, Mrs. NJ. A. Phe
ney. The writer was glad to have ar
opportunity to talk over old times
with Mr.. Edmisten and to know that
he is a genuine booster for the San
Juan. He is loud in his praise of the
Durango Exchange and the San Juan
fair. He says we are surely coming
to the front. He called attention to
The development of the agricultural
interests in the last 15 or 90 years
He noticed the valuable farms on the
Pine river and in the Florida river
section. He is most optimistic and
called attention to the good roads of
the San Juan and the travel thru this
section both by rail and by auto. He
thinks the next five or 10 years will
work great and valuable changes for
the whole San Juan country. He said
the proper thing for US all to do is to
boost and let nobody knock.
One Of the last remarks he made
while in conversation with us was
When you people over in this part
Of the San Juan are on your way
over the divide don't pass me up if
[ can be of any assistance to any of
you. You pass right thru my yard
and | am glad to see so many people
passing thru the country"
