Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neglect. At the first sign of back
ache, headache, dizziness or urinary
disorders, you should give the weak

little meat, take things easier and
use a reliable kidney tonic. There's
no other kidney medicine SO well
recommended as Doan's Kidney Pills.
Madison people rely on them. Here's
one Of the many statements from
Madison people.
Mrs. G. Mathison says: II can

The securities were taken out by

directly after the armistice, 1t was

member Of the commission and GU
rator Of the historical department OF
Iowa, is much impressed by TWO
sites in Lee and Van Buren, counties.
The chairman of the commission

been taken to secure state PARK

prises some hundred acres, covered
with original forest trees, and en-
braces every species of oak native to

ment OF land owners for at least a

state against the use Of fire and gun

propagation Of wild plant and wild

first acquiring title and control OF
only those lands where actual values
are fixed upon the basis Of what
they earn, and especially where citi-
cents and municipalities take sub

areas.
Where the lands are held at high
prices, appeal will be made to own
ers for the preservation OF the ma
tural beauties until such time as the
price can be afforded or an adjust
ment made reserving to the public
the title and use of the lands.
