HAS CHESTER FOUND THE SAME
The Answer il Found in the straight
forward Statement of "A Chester
Resident.

We have been reading week after
week in the local press of Madison
citizens who have been rid of dis
tressing kidney and bladder troubles
by Doan's Kidney pills. and we have
often wondered whether the same
high opinion of this medicine is TO be
found in our neighboring towns.
This frank and earnest statement by
a well-known and respected resident
of Chester will set this doubt at rest.
Mrs. NJ. Christensen. Chester, 5.

from my kidneys. the principal all
ment being backache. At times |
was in agony from the pain across
my loins. | was also tired and ner-

Kidney Pills and | noticed a change

MUST HOBO WAY
SOUTH DAKOTA SOLDIERS IN
OMAHA WITHOUT FUNDS.

Omaha. Neb., March 22.-Three
South Dakota soldier boys, one from
Aberdeen. one from Brookings and
the other from Huron. walked across
the Missouri river on the ice yester-
day afternoon because they did not
nave ever enough money to pay the
bridge toll. They tramped the three
miles to the Northwestern railroad to
catch a train" for home in the
Council Bluffs railroad yards.
After serving eight months on the
Texas border they were mustered out
in Omaha. hundreds of miles from
their homes and after a short stay
they found themselves absolutely
penniless. Their only alternative
was to hobo their way to their homes.
The young men decided to remain
in Omaha with a large number of
other South Dakota boys. upon the
promise their own state was going to
do something for them. The relief
measure blew up" owing to a legal
technicality and a lawsuit to test the
question and after days of waiting,
during which all their money was
spent, all had TO depend upon friends
at home or take the road.

Last season those who make it their business to provide coats for woman kind centered their attention on nov city in the manner of cutting and drap- ing the backs of these garments. In the new spring models their energies appear to be concentrated on pockets and collars. The latter are ample in size and the former as varied and novel in design as the untrammeled fancy or designers can make them.
 Many of the new coats are in plain colors and a great many of them are plaited. Most of them have narrow belt, but often it extends only part way about the figure, and sometimes merely across the back or front. But how ever conservative the new coats may be in other things, they go to all sorts of lengths and breadths and turns In pockets.
 very good example of spring modes Is pictured above. It Is a sand colored model with inlay of black satin on the collar, and this combination of sand color and black has the indorse- ment of the highest authorities. It Is cut with a deep yoke, to which the body of the coat is plaited, and It reaches almost to the bottom Of the
