The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when they

ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of Appetite; indiges-
ton; irritation, or even stone in the blad-
der. These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded. and fatal
malady, Bright's disease, for which there
is said to be 40 cure.
Do not delay a minute. At the first in
dication of strouble in the kidney, liver.
bladder or urinary organs start, taking
Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules, and
ave yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment is necessary in kidney and blad-
der troubles. A delay is often fatal.

I relief in Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules.

aration has been an unfailing remedy for
all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.

sules each day will keep you toned up and
feeling fine. Get it at any drug store. and

ly ell of the best lodges have organi-
cations. The city is well supplied with

Boundary County
Idaho

is the extreme northern county OF
Idaho. It's principal resources are ag-
riculture. dairying and stock raising,
mining, timber. The county includes
a large portion of the Kootenai Val
ley, the most fertile district of the
world. Cutover lands may be pur-
chased on long time contracts at from
$40 to S25 per acre. Bottom and mead
ow lands sell for from SO to $50 per
acre. There are many hundreds of
acres of agricultural land in Boundary
county which will make fine homes for
the energetic farmer. Millions of feet
of timber remain uncut and the rivers
and creeks may be easily harnessed to
give thousands of horsepower. Raw
material in quantities to last 100 years,
for paper pulp, may be found in the
county and this timber is easy of ac-
cess. The mining industry is yet in
it's infancy. Sufficient capital would
put only one of a dozen mines on a
dividend-paying basis. The climate is
ideal, the rainfall all that is needed.
No irrigation in this district, Good
roads, good schools. Plenty of trans
portation facilities.
