KIDNEY TUBES
Win Back Pep .VigOr Vitality

Medical authorities agree that your kid
neys contain Is MILES of tiny tubes or
filters which help to purify the blood and
keep you healthy. They should pour out
thru the bladder pintS of fluid day
which contains I pounds of waste matter.
If you have trouble with too frequent
bladder passages with scanty amount caus-
ing burning and discomfort, the IL MILES
of kidney tubes need washing out. This dan
ger signal may be the beginning Of nagging
backache. leg pains. loss of pep and vitality,
getting up nights, lumbaHo. swollen feet
and ankles, rheumatic pains and dizziness.
If kidneys don't empty pints every day
and get rid Of I pounds Of waste matter,
your body will take up these DOisons causing
serious trouble. 1t may knock you out and
lay you up for many months. Don't wait.
Ask your druggist for DOAN'S PILLS
. doctors prescription which has
been used successfully by millions Of kidney
sufferers for over 40 years. They give quick
relief and will help to wash out the IL
MILES of kidney tubes.
But don't take chances with strong drugs
or so-called kidney cures" that claim to fix
you UP in Is minutes. Your common sense
will tell you that this Is impossible. Treat
ments of this nature may seriously injure
and irritate delicate tissues. Insist ON
DOAN'S PILLS the old reliable relief
that contain no dope" or habit-fcrming
drugs. Be sure you get DOAN'S PILLS

RISE
|NM|NNESOTA

During the five weeks ended
July 18, 20 banks located in
cities of the ninth Federal Re.
serve district increased their de-
posts by $9,OOO,OOo, according to
the Federal Reserve bank Of Min
neapolis.
Elmer E. Benson, Minnesota
commissioner of banks, reports
that during the three months
ended June 80, deposits in $50
State banks and trust companies
increased more than $5,000,000,
On June 3 these institutions had
deposits of $194,972,025.
An interesting feature, as noted
by Commissioner Benson, was the
increase by these institutions of
$6,158,072 in investments. The
larger part of this increase, the
reports show, was due to invest
ments in Government bonds, $3,.
692,291, as against $2,465,781 in

CANADA WHEAT
CROP SMALL

Canada's total wheat crop this
year will be less than 00,000,000
bushels, because of limited and
sectional rainfall. according to
S. H. Logan, general manager of
the Canadian Bank of Commerce.
Alberta has the best prospects,
he pointed out, with Manitoba
and Saskatchewan promising to
make the next best showing.
Commenting on the drought, Mr..
Logan added:
"Dry weather was also eX-
perienced in British Columbia,
but fortunately the major crops
were much further advanced
than usual and cOrreSpOndingly
less vulnerable to adverse in
fIuences, and while there are
local reports Of drought effects
on late crops, splendid yields of
early hay and grains have been
cut. The apple crop in the
principle fruit district is esti-
mated as being slightly larger
than last years"

With activities in the steel in
dustry principal consumer of re-
fractory materialS) running at a
considerably higher rate during
the period from March through

Standard Answers Demand
For Boost in Heating Oil

"The price of oil used for
home heating in New York city,
which is fairly representative Of
conditions along the Atlantic
seabOard, is today lower than in
any year except 1888. The in.
crease in price since July, 1888,
aside from certain sections
where the local situation last
year drove quotations down to
abnormal levels, has averaged
only about half a cent a gallon,
or less than 8 per cent. The in.
dustry has been able to limit
the advance to this amount de,
spite an increase of more than
100 per cent in crude oil prices
and a rise in labor, manufac.
turing and distribution costs
during the past year."
Mr.. Stewart pointed out that II
was to his company's own advan
tage to maintain the price of heat
ing oil at reasonable levels. He
also took occasion to spike rumorS
of a possible shortage of heating
oil, saying:
"a little more than 10 per
Cant of the average barrel of
crude is refined into gas oil and
diStillate fuel at present, and
the yield could be increased In
case of necessity"
