WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
 Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. When healthy they remove about 800 grains of impure matter daily, when un- healthy some parts of this impure matter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symp- toms-which vary widely but may in clude pain in the back, headache, ner- vousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatic pains, gout gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, ir- regular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right the dan ger is overcome. Doan's Kidney Pills have proven an effective kidney medicine.
 Thos. A. Miller, mgr. of furniture store, Box 295, Jerome, Ariz., says: Doan's Kidney Pills are the only kid ney medicine l can depend upon and they certainly are all right. My kid neys were in bad way. I have seen the time when I could hardly bend and when I did, it felt as though the muscles of my back had snapped. Many a time my sight would become blurred and there seemed to be a black screen before my eyes and ev- everything seemed to be whirling' When I got out of bed mornings, l felt as tired as though I hadn't had any sleep. A friend knowing what bad shape l was in told me about Doan's Kidney Pills and used them. In a short time l felt fine"
 Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that MT. Miller had. Foster Milburn Co.,, Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

Stenographers and Typewriters
 Examination Field Service

The United States Civil Service Commission announces examinations for the position of stenographer and typewriter at Flagstaff the dates given below for the purpose of obtaining eligibles for appointment to appropriate positions in the various Federal offices in the Field Service. Eligibles examined at places nearest the vacancies to be filled will be first considered for appointment.
 Both men and women will be admit ted to the examinations. Age limit IS years or over on the date of exam ination.
 Application blanks, Form 1871, and further information may be obtained from the secretary of the local board of examiners at any of the places of examination.
 Those passing the examination who are willing to accept appointment at salary of $900 per annum usually have excellent prospects for appoint ment. This is particularly true of male eligibles, for which the supply heretofore has not been equal to the demand.
 In the War and Navy Department Offices many appointments of male stenographers and typewriters and of typewriters only are made at salary of 5000 and occasionally appoint ments of stenographers and typewrit- CTS are made at S1200 per annum.
 The examination may be taken at Flagstaff, Aug. 25.
