WHAT'S THE REASON?
Many Madison People i'm Poor Health
Without knowing the Cause.

There are scores of people who
drag out a miserable existence with
out realizing the cause of their suf-
fering. Day after day they are rack
ed with backache and headache; suf-
fer from nervousness, dizziness,
weakness, languor and depression.
Perhaps the kidneys have fallen be-
hind in their work of filtering the
blood and that may be the root of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys, as
sist them in their work-give them
the help they need. You can use no
more highly recommended remedy
than Doan's Kidney Pills-endrosed
by people all over the country and by
your neighbors in Madison.
John A. Norton, Egan avenue.
Madison, says: my kidneys trou-
bled me a lot. I had severe backache
and soreness over my kidneys that
made 1t hard for me to bend over or
lift anything. My kidneys acted ir-
regularly. I used Doan's Kidney
Pills and they soon fixed my kidneys
up In good shape and stopped the
aches and pains in my back"
Price, SO cents, at all dealers.
Don't simply ask for a kidney rem
edy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the
same that Mr.. Norton had. Foster

WEATHER and CROPS
HURON BRANCH OF WEATHER
BUREAU GIVES ENCOURAG-
ING REPORT OF CROP
CONDITIONS.

Huron, Aug. 24.-The summary of
weather and crop conditions in South
Dakota for the week ending August
20, is as follows:
The average temperature of the
week was somewhat above normal,
with no extremely warm weather. At
the beginning of the week it was
rather cool. Moderate to heavy
showers occurred during the week,
and in some localities, especially in
the southeastern part of the state,
these were rather frequent. Sun
shine averaged less than normal.
Stacking and threshing grain were
interrupted to a considerable extent
by the showers, but when practicable
this work was pushed vigorously.
The yield of grain is generally re-
ported to be good to excellent and
the quality good to excellent except
that wet weather is causing some
grain to mold, with consequent de-
terioration, in some southeastern To-
calities. The weather of the week
was generally favorable for crop de.
yelopment. Potatoes, gardens, mead
ows and pastures T reported to be
doing well. Stock is in fine condition
and much of it is ripening. The
week was favorable for corn which is
in very promising condition. The
crop advanced rapidly during the
week and its stage of development il
considerably ahead of the average.

VICTORY, LONDON SAYS
Prove That America is III the War
to WIN, Says Daily
Express.
" Associated Press 70 Every Evening


London. April 2 -The American de-
cision to place American units in bri-
gades with French and British batai-
lions for immediate participation IN the
fighting on the western front Is greeted
by the morning newspapers as his
toric action.
The Daily Telegraph in its comment
says:
''The part played by President Wilson
In the deliberations which ended IN the
decision VIII not be forgotten by those
peoples of Europe which already owe so
much 10 his strong and resouceful states
manship."
The Daily Chronicle says:
THE fine spirit shown by the United
States throughout this crisis has been
the source Of utmost encouragement
and moral support TO her allies IN Eu-
rope Nowhere has the lesson of Brest-
Litovsk been more clearly ready than in
America and nowhere IS the absolute
need for defeating impe rial Germany
more distinctly realized.
1T proves, SAYS the Daily Express,
that America IL in the war for victory
and it is additional evidence of President
Wilson's ldealistlc craftsmanship
"The spirit IN which this measure has
been taken by America, declares the
Morning Post, deserves, as 1t will re-
ceive, the fullest recognition both IN
France and this country and that 1t will
have its weight in Germany too we can
not doubt
The Times says
1t seals the bond of brotherhood which
unites the European allies with the United
States in common cause OF civilization.
This distribution of portion of its units,
even though exp edient, will be only tenn
porary and implies spirit of chivalrous
sacrifice in the face of staring necessity.
1t is no mere paper decision because
American units already are mlngling with
our armies in the battle line and we are
confident the experiment will produce
the happlest results.
