True Statements To Be Investigated

Langdon Citizen Testimony
When a Langdon citizen comes to
the front telling his old friends and
neighbors of his experience, you can
rely on his sincerity. The statement
of people residing in far away places
does not command your. confidence.
Home endorsement is the kind that
backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such tes.
timony is convincing. Investigation
proves it to be true. Below is a state
ment of a Langdon resident. No more
substantial proof of merit can be had
j. A. Balgaard, residing on South
Fifth Street, in Langdon, says: "a
few years ago l had occasion to use a
kidney remedy. My back was weak

How Do You Feed
Your Stock?

Do they get all the feed
you give them or is a great
deal of it wasted?
Dc the stronger animals
prevent the weaker ones
from getting their share? Is
there crowding and scrapping
at feed time?
Is it a big chore for you to
feed your stock or have you
a feed rack which makes the
work easy and largely auto
matte?
"A feed rack saves feed and
therefore it saves your profits.
1t assures every animal its
rightful share. It protects
the weaker animals from the
stronger and prevents injury
from crowding and pushing.
1t doesn't take much lum-
Der or much labor to make a
good feed rack that will
quickly pay you back in the
feed it saves.

and what stock you feed and

Standing back among the trees.
And its window panes may rattle,
In the searching autumn breeze.

Built of marble firm and grand,
And it beauties may be many,
Stretching out on every hand.
But whate'er be its construction.
In our heart deep feeling swells.
When we single out the home nest
The place where mother dwelis.

NOVEL OF NIPPON
Futdbutei's Work First Nutive
Fiction to Be EngIished

An insight into Japanese customs and
domestic life is given, in "An Adopted
Husband" c"Sono Omokage"), which
is a translation from the japanese of
Futabatei by Buhachiro NIitsui and
Gregg NJ. Sinclair.
Tetsuya Ono is the adopted husband
figure common enough in Japan. but
singular to occidental minds. And the
other points of the triangle are Tet-
suya's wife, Toki ko. and his wife S
sister, Sayo- ko.
Tetsuya turns. finally, from the nag
ging of his avaricious wife to the shy
love Of Sayo -ko. whom Toki-ko had
oppressed and abused and finally tried
to eject from the shelter of the only
home she knew.
Then it is that Toki ,ko awakens to
n realization of the folly Of her atti-
tude toward an honest husband and es-
says to win him back. Sayo- -ko. unable
to forget that Toki -ko is her sister, sac
rifices herself and her love with the
phlegm which seems so characteristic
Of the japanese in these crises and takes
herself beyond the reach of Tetsuya.
The now wretched lover tries to restore
his own self-respect and his regard for
Toki -ko, but fails, and the close of the
book finds him voluntary outcast.
AN Adopted Husband" is mildly in
teresting, but, like so many translations,
has doubtless lost much of it's power
in the translating, which. it may seem
to some readers, is not as skillfully done
as the book perhaps deserves. This
is described as the very first japanese
novel to be Engished.
