SUSPECT YOUR KIDNEYS
Too Many Madison People Neglect
Early Symptoms of Kidney
Trouble.

If your back is lame-if you feel
dull, tired and all worm out
If you have hard headaches, back
aches and dizzy spells
If the kidney secretions are disor-
dered-
Suspect your kidneys and take a
stitch in time"
Use Doan's Kidney Pills, the time
tried, home-endorsed kidney remedy.
1t may save you from some serious
kidney trouble.
Make use of the experience of Mrs.
j. c. Horner, 407 Washington ave
nue. N. Madison. She says: Il can
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills from
my own experience. My kidneys
were weak and l had bad pains in
my back and through my loins. My
work tired me easily and / was often
bothered with dizziness and head
aches. My kidneys acted irregularly
so when l heard about Doan's Kidney
Pills, / used them. Doan's soon rid
me of the aches and pains in my back
and I was free from all kidney trou-
ble."
Price, so cents, at all dealers
Don't simply ask for a kidney rem
edy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the
same that Mrs. Horner had. Foster,
Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

PINCHING DOWN
NEED FOR CONSERVATION IN.
CREASES DAILY, SAYS
STATE FUEL HEAD.

Aberdeen, June 27.-"You can tell
the people of South Dakota for me
that the need for conservation this
year is greater than last" is the mes
sage borne back from Washington by
w. G.. Bickelhaupt, who returned
from a conference there with Ma
tional Administrator Harry A. Gar
field and other northwest fuel heads.
The price of anthracite has been
fixed and will be announced in a few
days." said Mr.. Biekelhaupt. I'm
round numbers it is about 50 a ton
more than last year-including the
increased freight charges.
The state will receive so per cent
of ats last years supply of anthra-
cite. We can't get any more-they
haven't got any more. The state of
Iowa doesn't get any hard coal, be-
cause Ii has soft coal mines. The
state of Nebraska doesn't get any
coal. We may not get any anthracite
next year-of course, / can't say
definitely as to that.
"fne ~ per cent OF last years an
thracite supply to be granted to the
state of South Dakota will be distrib-
uted on the same pro rata basis
among the dealers who handled an
thracite coal last year. No coal may
be shipped into the state except un-
der the direction and supervision OF
the fuel administration. 1t must be
handled that way in order to insure
everybody a just proportion.
We've got to burn mor soft coal
and we might as well come to it and
accustom ourselves to it. We won't
get 80 per cent of our 1917 supply
next year If the war goes on. The
government hasn't got it. We must
use soft coal and plan to use soft Goa
more and more as long as the wal
goes on"
