RadIum In esa eait

Samples Of sea salt collected dur.
ing q recent voyage in the Pacific and
subantarctic regions have been exam

amount Of radium was found to be

that the radium content Of sea salt

HORSES POISONED.

David Beck the we'll known farmer
living near Yves, Union had tE., mis-
fortune last week to lose five valuable
horses through corn stalk poisoning.
Noticingthat his animals were sick he
called veterinary surgeons from both
Sank Centre and Osakis, who hasten
ed to the farm. They both reached
the conclusion that the cause was
from fermenting corn stalks. 1t ap-
pears that this condition Of the corn
is caused from early frost and that it
creates poison. The effect on the
horses is to the brain and spinal cords
and causes a numbness. When once
attacked there is no cure. Perhaps it
would be well for other farmers to
examine their silos and see that their
silage is in good condition. Horses
and cattle are too valuable to lose
just now.

AS you can readily appreciate, little
extra clothing is a welcome addition
under such conditions and I am very
grateful recipient of one of your many
kindnesses.
I am sure this war would be sorry

efforts of the Red Cross Society to al
leviate the hardships and suffering
that naturally occurs where peace
full country is suddenly forced into a
war as terrible as the present one.

What the Kidneys Do
Their Unceasing Work Keeps u
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys fi.ter the blood.
They work day and night. When
healthy they remove about 500 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,
nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatic
pains govt, gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness, irreg-
ular heart, debility, drowsiness, drop
~, deposits in the urine, etc. But if
you keep the filters right the danger
is overcome. Doan's kidney Pills
have proven an effective kidney med
icine.
Geo. G.. Newman, Ninth St. &
Broadway, Bismarck, N. D., sayz:
Il was subject to attacks of lumbago.
My back was often so lame, stiff and
painful l couldn't turn in bed. h-d
dizzy spells and headaches, too. The
kidney secretions were highly colored,
contained brickdust-like sediment and
were too frequent in passage. At
ter using three boxes of Dcan's Kid.
ney Pills, all signs Of kidney trouble
disappeared.
MORE THAN TWO YEARS
LATER, Mr.. Newman said: "I still
think well of Doan's Kidney Pills, and
am glad to confirm my former en-
dolsement. They did me such a lot
of good l seldom need them now"
