kidneys about six years ago, These

lame and it was in that condition all
day long. When l stopped at my
work or turned suddenly, ] got a
sharp pain in my kidneys that hurt
dreadfnlly. Sometimes when ! got
down, it was about all could do to
get UP again. One day my attention
was called to Doan's Kidney Pills, so
i lost no time in getting a supply. /

and it cured me. Up to this day, i

PIG CLUB BOYS AND GIRLS
WILL ATTEND NEXT FAIR

With the appropriation Of $1,000
for pig cluk' exhibits by juniors at
the 1922 state fair, an important
change has been made in the regula-
tions governing this annual contest.
Heretofore the money has been used
in paying premiums and the express
charges and feeding expenses of the
stock. In 1922, for the first time, the
travelling expenses of the boy and
girl exhibitors to and from the fair
will be paid from the appropriation,
as we'll as the premiums and shipping
expenses of the pigs. In order that
the appropriation will meet the added
expense it has been provided that
there must be at least fifteen Juniors
in pig club work in county to secure,
representation in the state fair com
petition, 1t is, felt that the change
will encourage the young pig raisers
and be the making Of the new pig
show event. The pigs, too, if SUR
syeyt could be taken would no doubt
voice approval of the innovation.
