DON'T RISK NEGLECT

Don't neglect a constant back
ache, sharp, darting pains or ur-
mary disorders. The danger of
dropsy or Bright's disease is too
serious to ignore. Use Doan's
Kidney Pills as have your
friends and neighbors. Ask your
neighbor. A Lexington case.
Mrs. Paul Frischer, lila S. w.
Boulevard, says: 1.-TWO years a.
go my kidneys were in a weak
condition. Sharp pains struck
me in my back and / suffered
severely. When / stopped over
or lifted anything / could scarce
~ straighten and l was often
so lame and sore l could hardly
go on with my work. l had dir
" spells and would become so
faint that / would often have to
sit down. l had frequent ner-
vous spells and became much
worried about my condition.
Doan's Kidney Pills had been
used by other members of the
family with great success so l
got a few boxes at Crenshaw &
Young's Drug Store and they
quickly relieved me Of all the
trouble. Doan's Kidney Pills are
certainly a splendid remedy"

Capt. Wright, instructor in Math-
ematics at Wentworth, was forced
to undergo an operation for appen-
dicitis last Friday in the Christian
Church Hospital of Kansas City. The
cadets will all be glad to learn that
the operation was very successful
and though Capt. Wright was in a
dangerous condition he seems well
on the road to recovery now. The
Captain had been having Slight at
tacks for a week or more before he
went to Kansas City but he tried 20
do his work until the end of school.
However, he was compelled to go to
the hospital last week after an un-
usually severe attack. The boys
miss him in class and on the track
and will be glad to see him return.
Major S. Sellers is teaching his class

damental in re-establishing the prune
industry of southwestern Washing
ton.
The State Colleges department of
civil engineering has frequently been
called upon to pass upon the feast
bility of irrigation projects. Our en-
gineers have helped locate some of
the best of these projects, and have
prevented the great financial losses
that would have been incurred by
the opening of impossible irrigation
undertakings.
The department of chemistry has
also rendered valuable service in the
analyses of water used for irrigation
purposes, in this WHY having made
clear some very serious problems in
the orchard districts,
Other help has come through the
winter short courses offered by the
faculty; much assistance has been
given by the extension service of the
college, which carries out into the
field in a most practical way the re-
suits of the experiments and dis
coveries made by the station staff.
Many orchard demonstrations are
given Frequent conferences are
held with the fruit growers, and
thus the experiment station conveys
to the men in the orchards the latest
useful information with respect to
the control of pests, improvement in
soil fertility, the improvement of gem
eral irrigation methods and in the
increased production.
New pests are constantly being inn
ported, so we may be sure our trou-
bles are not over. The climate is
showing today some of the weak
nesses of our present orchard varie-
ties so that only through eternal
vigilance can we maintain our pres
ent high standard of production. 1t
is the hope of the Representatives of
the State College, experiment station
and extension service that the CO.
operation we have had with the fruit
growers of Washington will con-
tinue, not only for the benefit of the
fruit industry, but for the economic
advancement and prosperity of the
entire state

THE LOSING BET

(From the Atlanta Constivution)
 Don't overlook the prosperity that is practically with you al ways, and don t fail to preach it, is the advice of a Chicago business firm toits patro:s and the pt ople generally.
 And the very best reasons are given for it's faith in ever abiding prosperity, as in the following: We have
 rOrtv-eight states with lim- itless possibilities. One hundred and five million people with morey = much money.
 They must eat. They must be housed They must drink. Hey must be amused. They must wear clothes and shoes.
 All this takes money. Many billions! Prosperity depends on mercy circulation. Keep your head cCol, your feet warm and your money i1 circulation.
 Nothing matters but cold feet. Don't bet against the Uni ted States.
