WHEN HER BACK ACHES
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and
Ambition Slipping Away.

Madison mn know how the
aches and pains that often come when
the kidneys fail make life a burden.
Backache, hip pains, headaches, dir
zy spells, distressing urinary trou-
bles, are frequent indications of weak
kidneys and should be checked in
time. Doan's Kidney Pills are for
the kidneys only. They attack kid
ney diseases by striking at the cause.
Here's proof of merit in a Madison
woman's words:
Mrs. III. G. Killion, 712 Blanche
avenue N, says: II had attacks OF
lumbago and my back ached and was
so lame / could hardly straighten UP
when l bent over. / was miserable
all the time and my work was often
neglected. / felt tired out and Ian

kidneys acted irregularly and were
sluggish. Doan's Kidney Pills
strengthened my kidneys. My back
was soon all right and I felt better

means hot, dry weather during that
time, with consequent probable curtail-
ment Of the yield Of corn, but pointing
to large production of cotton. Wet
weather encourages the multiplication
Of the cotton boil weevil. while hot,
dry weather Is his worst enemy.
The problem, therefore, Is the study
of the weather BY means Of charts for
preceding years in relation to the ef-
feet upon the various agricultural pro-
duction, ana the consequent likelihood
Of the presence or absence Of similar
phenomena. especially those which are
foretold by certain weather happenings
at the time Of crop forecasts. From
such study must be worked out the
likelihood Of coming weather. as affect
ing crop growth. The indefinite ness
and completely Of the problem needs
no dwelling upon, yet when all has been
said the answer Is that the method
works on the whole not only as basis
for the conduct Of business, but with
far greater approach to accuracy than
the mathematical methods mentioned.
As a rule the early forecasts do not
differ from final harvest results more
than from 21A to per cent at any time.
Nor do these early forecasts need to
be revised from the original forecast
to any apprcciable extent as the season
progresses, whereas there Is always a
wide variance between the successive
forecasts which rely upon mathematical
formulas and supposed scientific
vaathod for their basis.
