Weak or DisOrdered Kidneys.

Have you lame back, aching day
and night? Do you feel sharp pains
after STOPPING? Are the kidneys
sore? Is their action irregular !?
Use Doan's Pills-the medicine re-
commended by so many Redwood Falls
people. Ask your neighbour. Read
this case:
Mrs. Geo. Federly, 622 Mill St.,
Redwood Falls, says: "Overwork
broke down my kidneys and l had
considerable backache. Housework
was hard because of the knife-like
pains in the small of my back. l had
bearing down pains across my kidneys
continually and felt tired and all worn
out. Specks fioated before me, blurr-
ing my sight and making me dizzy.
Ely kidneys were irregular in action.
I bought Doan's Pills at Freyer G.
Knapp's Drug Store and two boxes
cured me of the pains in my back and
my kidneys acted healthy again."

DIVORCE EASY FOR INDIANS
Separation Of Married Couple Gensti-
tuted Legal Divorce-UphssS
by Commissioner.

In the period that the Indians lived
as tribal peoples, following their own
marriage Gus, oms, separation of a
married couple constituted a legal di-
vorce This is the decision just hand
ed down by Charles II. Burke, Indian
commissioner, and is considered as
one of great Importance that will be
followed many times, no doubt. in de-
termining heirship cases among the
Poncas, Otoes and other tribes.
The decision came In determining
heirs of Chief Little Soldier, who for a
long time was prominent in the Ponca
tribe. In Nebraska, prior to the tribe
coming to their present Oklahoma
homes, Little Soldier had taken two
sisters as wives, Ella Little Soldier
and Henrietta First Moon. The latter
retained her maiden name in order to
distinguish herself from her sister.
Indian custom permitted Little Soldier
to have plural wives.
When a congressional act of March
10, 1897, directed each Ponca posses
sing more than one wife to pick out
his favorite and thus divorce the other,
Little Soldier failed to do So Evident
ly he liked both sisters too well to
choose between them.
The Investigation to determine the
heirs of Little Soldier started last De-
cember before George Hoyo, the SUI
perintendent for the PoncaS and atili-
ated tribes, and the findings were sent
by him to Commissioner Burke. All
the principal figures in the marital
mixup now are dead excepting Henri
eta First Moon. She claimed the es-
tate as having been his Indian custom
wife, whereas Startling White Tail
contested her as the son of Alice Eagle

What Two Pig Club Bows Did.

Two farm boys of MusGogee coun-
ty, Ca, have succeeded 50 we'll in
their pig club work that they have
been able to purchase a moderate
priced automobile and by this means
attend high school, which is con
siderable distance from their home.
These young stockmen, Webster
and Dana CARTRIDGE, have been prac-
ticing the feeding and care of pigs
under the direction of their county
agricultural agent since 1919, when
they secured a purebred boar in
partnership This they grew into a
prize-winning animal.
In 1920, each bought a gilt, giving
his personal note for the purchase
price, and later they together invest
ed IN young boar to replace their
old one. From these purchases they
nave built up an excellent herd. They
nave shown their sows and filters at
number of community, county and
district fairs, and have sold many of
the young pigs.
In 1922, according to reports to
the United States Department of
Agriculture, in addition to winning a
scholarship to the junior short course
at the State agricultural college. thew
received over $3.50 cash returns from
their stock and had on hand more
imam $500 worth of hogs.

Similar in origin to the mirage OF
the desert are the mock suns OF the
Arctic circle. AS the long winter
night of the polar region wanes, once
every twenty-four hours light glow
is seen at some point on the horizon,
Often accompanying this glow is seen
the phenomenon of the mock suns.
Up in the heavens as many as five of
these spectral orbs have been seen at
once. Invariably they are all con-
nected in a geometric figure, the suns
seemingly being bound together with
circles and arcs of light. Often when
only one appears it is mistaken for
the real sun, and natives rejoice at
the early end of the long winter night
only to be disappointed as the image
disappears. The explanation Of the
phenomenon is given by physicists as
refraction and reflection of light
from the real sun below the horizon
on the mists in the upper at
mosphere.
