WOMEN'S WOES
Alaska Women Can Find Relief for
Their Bnrden*
It does seem that women bave more
than a fair share of the aches and pains
t*iat afflict humanity. They must "keep
up," must attend to duties in spite of
constantly aching backs, or headaches,
' dizzy speils, bearing' down pains; they
must stoop over, whtn to stoop means
torture. They mu->t walk and bend and
work with racking pains and many
aches for kidney ills. Kidneys cause
more suffering than any other organ in
the body. Keep the kidneys well and
health is easily maintained. Read of a
remedy for kidneys only that helps and
cures the kidney.
Mrs. Jonn Meerdink, residence 812
North Fourth Street, North Yakima,
Wash., says: "I can cheerfully testify
to the honesty and worth of Doan's
Kidney Pill, and hare already done so
to a number of my friends and ac
quaintance. There is no humbug about
them. I suffered from the kidney com
plaint for years, indicated by aching
and distress through the loins and fre
quent attacks. o? headache, dizziness
and an annoying condition of the kid
ney secretions. At times I was worse
them others, especially if I caught cold,
when I suffered severely from backach.
I bave been laid up on more than one
occasion for weeks at a time on account
of it, and could not get out of bed with
out assistance. I was suffering acutely
some three months ago when I read
about Doan's Kidney Pills, and hart my
husband call at a drug store for a box,
yet the result was decidedly beneficial
and the improvement marked from the
first. I followed up the treadment
until I used five boxes, when I felt like
different person altogether. I have
used lots of medicines but never tried
one that come up to Doan's Kidney
Pills. I cheerfully recomment them,
and you are at liberty to refer anyone
me. I will only be too pleased to give
them more particulars abut my case."

BATTLE ON
Threshing Out Haines'
Christmas Tragedy
The trial of W. M. GafTney for burg
lary continues in the district court and
is developing into a keen legal battle.
The evidence introduced indicates that
the government is trying to establish
that GafTney and Albert Backdolf en
tered the house of Ben Fox, an Indian,
at Haines early Christmas morning for
the purpose of committing a crime;
that Fox. in endeavoring to protect the
sanctity of his home, engaged in a fight
with them and was getting the worst
of it; that just as Backdolf was drawing
a gun with which to shoot Fox the lat
ter shot him: that both men ran from
the house at that, Backdolf falling dead
when about (50 yards away.
The defense is trying to disprove the
ability of any man as severely wounded
as was Backdolf, whose heart was
pierced, to run so far before death.
The jury has been excused until
Wednesday morning, when the GafT
ney trial will be resumed. Monday is
motion day and Tuesday the court will
| be busy with the election conference.

It Is Dangerous to Neglect a oold
How often do we hear it remarked:
"It's only a cold," and a few davs later j
learn that the man is on his back with j
pneumonia. That is of sucti common

should not be disregarded. Cahinber

AN OLD SUPERSTITION.
The PmMliT of Consultiiis: Scrljtort
as a Rook of Fate.
Till' practice nf consulting Scripts ,-e
as n book of fate was generally con
demned by the elmrcli. A council at
i'nnnes pronounced against it In 4(it
A. I). So (lid one at Agde Iu uOti and
ono at Anserre In 583. Charles the
Srent forbade it In bis capitularies,
and so did I'ope Gregory II. Never
theless curiosity as to the future was
so strong in men's minds that the cus
tom continued.
An odd circumstance is that the
?atliedral chapter at Orleans in 1140
appealed to a prognostic of this sort In
a supplication addressed by them to
l'ope Alexander III. against their bish
op. At his consecration, when the go*
pel was opened above his head, the
finger of the deacon rested upon the
words, "And he left tht linen cloth and
iled from them naked." This Wa3 a
token that the bishop Elias was to b#J
turned out of his see.
The practice of observing the book
ivhen opened over the head of a prel
ate at his consecration was very com
mon. It was thought that a sir re au
gury could thencc be drawn as to what
sort of a bishop he would prove.-- Cham
bers' Journal.
Fooled Hint.
"Why am I like a pic?' asked Mr.
Jones triumphantly of his wife. He
expected she was going to say, "Be
muse you are so sharp," and he was
simply paralyzed when she replied:
"Becirtse If you should get lost It
wouldn't be worth while to spend time
looking for you."

"My wife haa a remarkable collec

"Yes."
