Many Alaska Pcopli Fill to Realize
the Seriousness.
Backache is so -eceptive.
It comes and goes? keep yon guessiug.
Learn the cause? then cure it.
Nine times oat of ten it comes from
the kidneys.
That's why Doan's Kidney Pills
cure it.
Cure every kidney ill from backas-he
to diabetes.
Here's a ca;e to prove it.
Mrs. H. M. Hawkics, of 1444 Kind St.,
tiellingbam, Wash., whose husband if
a mot' rmm for the Whatcom impr ve

years past I have been docti ring at
different times for bi;e! ache ai d o h<-r
pa ns due to the -lTcCtionj of the kid
uevs. I thought I had recovered and
ex pec ed no more troub'.e, but last fall
I was taVen with a similar attack and
for three days, I might say, I was
almost he^p'.es*. When I was suffer
ing the worst with the pain I happened
to hear of Doan's K'dney Pills a d sent
for a box. I expected them to he'p me
but I did cot look for such immediate
relief. The first few doses helped and
when I had finished the box, I felt so
well that it was not necessary to can
tinue the treatment."

The Lotitfe *t Day.
June 21 is tho lo;ige;>t day of the
year, the day when the sun reaches its
northern limit, the tropic of Cancer.
At points on the line of the nretlc cir
cle there Is the womlor of the midnight
snn, and many tourists go loug dis
tances to witness the sight. It Is singu
lar how accurately the semlbnrbnrous
nations were able to observe and reck
on. On Salisbury plain, in England,
may be seen a cromlech erected by the
drulds. It Is a circle of huge stones
which once formed a temple, but the
most Interesting part of the structure
is tho sacrificial stone, which is a broad,
flat slab so placed that the rays of the
rising sun strike full upon it only on
the 21st of June. The old guide who
shows the place to visitors tells the
story that a young girl once said to
him, "I suppose you have seen It hun
dreds of times, haven't you V"
Wouldn't He lleconctle.l.
Two of the most eminent lawyers at
the Philadelphia bar were Benjamin
TIarrls Brewster and his half brother,
Frederick Carroll Brewster. Both had
held the office of attorney general for
the state, and the first had been attor
ney general of the United States. They
had not been on friendly terms for
many years. It Is said that on one oc
casion a mutual friend tried to brine
them together, and finally Frederick C.
consented to bury the hatchet and sent
Benjamin II. a card containing Ids
name, with these words written under
neath, "At hnme on Monday evening.
May 1." By tho same messenger Ben
Jaiulu n. sent a car I in return, which
read, "Benjamin II. lire ? ~ter also at
home Monday evening. May 1." This
ended negotiations.
