Are you dragging around day after
day with dull. never-ceasing back
ache? Do you suffer headaches,
dizzy spells and sharp, stabbing pains;
feel tired irritable--wthout life ar
ambition? Likely, then, your trouble
is due to kidney weakness-not hard
to correct If treated promptly. but
dangerous if neglected. For quick
relief use Doan's Kidney Pills. Doan's
have helped thousands. They should
help you. Ask your neighbor!
A New Britain Case.
Geo. Satalino, prop. of grocery, 61S
East Main ST.. says: my back was
lame and when / bent over. I felt
sore over my kidneys. / had to get
up at night to pass the kidney secre-
lions, which were dark in color and
burned in passage. After using Doan's
Kidney Pills, my back was all right.
The secretions became natural in
color again."

RELIC OF PREHISTORIC RACE
Discovery of Lake Village Near Glas-

Much Interest There.

Much interest was awakened in Eng
land not so long ago by the discovery
of prehistoric lake village near Glas-
tonbury, the New York Herald reports.
The dwellings We're placed on mounds
of clay and raised above the level of
the water. The framework of prim-
tive loom was found under one
mound, and the number of broken
bone needles and bone splinters dis
covered il another mound may have
been the site of an ancient needle fac
tory.
Few human bones were discovered
but among the interesting finds was
blue gl.iss bead with waving dark
line running round 1T. One of the
mounds contains 300 tons of clay, all
of which must have been dug from the
surrounding hills and carried to the
spot in boats.

st. Paul, Mlnn.-What to do with
mixed juries ever night?
This question has started furore
IN st. Paul following the story told
by seven women and five men who
were locked up for two nights while
celebrating the fate of George
Thoemke, accused Of stealing an auto
mobile, and finally found guilty.
Irate husbands of the women
stormed the court and one of them
was released from charge of con-
tempt of court by Judge Catlin be-
cause the court held that there were
extenuating circumstances and that
the objector was not in rational
frame of mind.
st. Paul citizens, including Governor
Preus, sympathized with the angry
husband and clubwomen clamored for
better treatment of the women.
Not Even a Bit of Drapery.
The first night, according to the
story told by Miss Grace Williams, the
only unmarried woman ON the jury,
there wasn't even a curtain in the
room the men ana women naQ 10 use

1--WE argued until late, and finally a
man yawned and said something about
going to bed," she said. ut was very
embarrassing. We had to put out the
lights and get ready for bed in the
dark. 1t was inconvenient, but we
did it.
every little while the bailiff would
come in and say that there were five
husbands outside the door who wanted
to know how things were going. They
were very angry. ~
"The second night, we had a thin
curtain between the men and The, wom-
en-. 1t was not much better"
After the first night one of the WON
en- told her husband how she had to
undress In the same room with five
strange men with the light showing In

husband went to Judge Catlin and, &C
cording to the judge, FUSED full and
unexpurgated vocabulary in describing
his feelings"
4 The second night was described by
Mrs. Josephine Brown, another mem.
Der of the jury. +.
1.-THE curtain was transparent and
we had no protection, and the men all
faced the wall, while some of us pulled
sheets from the bed to protect the
other women while they disrobed," she
