TO AILING WOMEN
A Little Sound Advice Will Help
Many a Sufferer in Stanford


No woman should consider herself
healthy and well if the kidneys are
weak. Poisons that are passed off
when the kidneys are well, are re-
tanned in the body when the kidneys
are disordered. If the kidneys and
bladder become infamed and swollen
worse troubles may quickly follow.
This is often the cause of bearing
down pains, lameness, backache, etc
Uric poisoning is also frequent cause
of headaches, dizzy spells, languor,
nervousness and rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Nd
ney Pills, remedy that has proven
effective in thousands of such cases.
Let a Stanford woman tell of her ex-
perience.
Mrs. E. j. Cooley, Whitley Ave-,
Stanford, says: "My kidneys were
out of order and felt run down and
tired out. l had dull pains in my
back and across my loins. The action
of my kidneys was irregular. l read
of Doan's Kidney Pills and bought
some at the New Stanford Drug Co.
This medicine soon Put my kidneys
in good order and relieved other
symptoms of kidney trouble"

grown in the United States is in
progress for the coming harvest. The

prospects improved to the extent of

ter wheat returns indicated 15,000,-
600 bushels more than forecast in
July. Wheat production, winter
wheat combined, now is forecast at
bushels.

all his life. Water was now up above
the running board. We came to place
where small bridge had been at noon
Waves were running mountain high
(Poetic license). 1t was up to us to find
out whether the bridge was there or not
and for one felt much more contented

spot.
Shortly we reached the covered
bridge over Pudding River Here the
sea was higher than ever and the water
little deeper. The good ship pitched
and tossed and our engine was nearly
stalled. | don t know what Brown said
under his breath, but he put his foot
down on the throttle and we were on
dry land again. A short time afterward
the approach to the bridge went out.
Brown didn t seem to be much concern
ed and indicated that this was a regular
routine for him. He said:
81 promised a bunch Of farmers over
at Brooks that we would be there at
half past seven, and help them organ
ize a community center"
'They are having a lot of trouble
over there with onion diseases, meaning
a loss to them of over 100000 or $780,
600 year. and | can give them ifor'
nation which will check that.
There was short cut from Pudding
River bridge to Brooks, but people whC
take short cuts in this country, this
sort of weather, are very much like the
fellow who went where CANCELS feal
to ftread.' So we came all the way back
to Salem to hit the main highway
reaching the fair grounds to turn the
PROV of the good ship "Lizzie" due
north and plough our way out to Brooks
If the passengers of the North bound
Southern Pacific Express could have
known how near we came to knocking
them off the track at the fair grounds
crossing, they would have been very
nervous set. We missed their tail light
by about foot.
didn t know what opinion the North
Hill farmers had of the county agent
but when Brown tied up at the dock
at Brooks, promptly on time, every man
present took off his hat, Figuratively
speaking they thought that a man whC
could keep his appointments under such
stress could surely be depended upon

and 1 know that the farmers present
at the different meetings have felt this
very keenly.
One thing developed yesterday which
shows the great possibility of county
agent work here. j. w. Brewer, special
labor agent of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture for Oregon, was in town in
conference with the county court and
with Mr.. Brown. He expects to use the
county agent 8 organizations in his sur
vey of this county, which will be start
ed early in January. He says that the
County Advisory council which Mr..
Brown has already organized, will keep
the U. S. government fully in touch, by
wire, with the labor problems in this
section. A farmer needing help will tele
phone to his nearest advisor who in
turn will call up Mr.. Brown and that
request will be wired to the headquar-
ters and immediate steps taken to fill
the want. This one feature will be of
tremendous value to the county and Mr..
Brewer presented the matter in the
strongest possible way to the County
Court.

we discovered the reason for the man g
