DIZZINESS is ANNOYING
As Many Johnson City People Know
Too Well

When the kidneys are weak or dis
ordering, they fall behind in filtering
the blood of poisons. AS these pois-
ons attack the nerves, the result is
felt in spells of vertigo, just as drum
kenness will make man dizzy from
the poisoning of alcohol. Dizziness,
headache, backache and irregularity
of the kidney secretions are all signs
of weak or disordered kidneys and
should not be neglected. Use Doan's
Kidney Pills, the home-endorsed kid
ney remedy. Read this Johnson City
residents statement:

ga Avenue, says: MY kidneys were

During September Is. nurses en-
rolled with the Red Gross in NORTH,
Dakota but OF this number there were
only seven available for immediate
duty. as the remainder OF the enroll

Dakota's contribution for September

The Red Cross OF the state is again
sending forth a most urgent appeal
to the nurses who can, to enroll for
immediate service and there prob
ably will never be time that SER
vices could be better used and In
every possible case it is hoped that
the enrolment will be for immediate
duty.
The conscience Of both the public
and the nurses should have a re-
vival," said one Of the workers to-
day. A private nurse under present
conditions should be a thing that no
loyal conscience should be- educated
to the fact that the private individual
has no more right to a graduate
nurse for his individual attention
than he had to food products made
out of nothing but wheat -four. The
conscience Of America was aroused
in that regard and it must be awalS-
ened to this other condition that is
scarcely less important.
1t means a reversal of the good
old American attitude that what I
can pay for am entitled to- But
that has been proved wrong. Secur-
ing nurses means saving the lives
OF many of the men who are willingly
offering theirs FOR the country.
In larger centefs where the need
is better realized, the private nurse
is rapidly passing Patients are con-
tentfng themselves with the general
service which may be provided at
hospitals or accepting an hour or
two a day from a trained nurse and
depending upon such care as the
household can supply for the other
necessary attention. North Dakota
both in her nursing personnel and
in the demands made upon the pro-
fessfon by the public must come to
it"
Up to Oct. there were enrolled
North Dakota ZIG nurses but OF that
number only 1877 have been assigned
to service, not because Of DELAY In

ments are made with the condition
