Alaska Women Can Find Relief for
Their Burdoni
It does seem that women have more
than a fair share of the aches asd pains
that atllict humanity. They must "keep
up," must attend to duties in spite of
constantly aching backs, or headaches,
dizzy spells, bearing down pains; they
must stoop over, when to stoop means
torture. They must walk and bend and
work with racking pains and many
aches for kidney ills. Kidneys cause
more suffering than atiy 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 8)2
North Fourth Street, North Yakima,
Wash., says: "I can cheerfully testify
to the honesty and worth of Doan's
Kidney Pill, and have already done so
to a number of my friends and ac
quaintance. There is no humbug about
them. 1 suffered from the kidney com
plaint for years, indicated by aching
and distress through the loins and ire-'
quent attacks, of 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 have 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 had my
husb rind call at a drug store for a box,
yet the result was decidedly beneficial
and the imp-ovement 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,
aid ycu are at liberty to refer anyone
me. I will only be too pleased to give
them more particulars abut my case."

The Satnu of the Greek*.
The Greek conception of the evil one.
whom they call Varan, makes that per
sonage one of the most satanic of the
whole evil tribe. According to their
ideas of him, he Is 240 miles high and
the hairs on his body stand out like
palm trees on a mountain side, lie
punishes the doomed being submitted
to his charge by putting them in beds
of boiling oil, sawing their bodies In
two. pouring molten lead In their ear*
and such other little pranks as pulling
out their tongues, toe and finger nails
and gouging out their eyes. He Is a
heartless old fiend of the most fiendish
kind and has many other exquisite lit
tle tortures laid up for the helpless
wretch consigned to his "chamber of
horrors."
The Cent In Not Small.
With the exception of the English
penuy. the cent is the largest minimum
unit of money in the civilized world.
Roughly speaking, our cent Is worth 2
kopecks. 2 cents Mexican, Chinese and
East Indian. 2 atts or milllemes. It Is
two and a half times larger than the
cent of the Netherlands or the kreutzer.
There are 4 pies, ore. or pfennigs to the
cent or 5 banl, centesiml, lepta, heller,
pennla, centimes or stotlnki. A cent
Is worth 10 paras Turkish or 10 Japa
nese rin, 11 cash Chinese or 50 paras

ductors of Servia say when tendered a

had It given to you, then?" the friend
suggested. "Oh, no," answered Math

"John, what feature or phage of this

"Well," was the reply, and tlva speak

that the critics fish out of a fellow's

But I suppose that critics, like the rest

that when he offered his first volumo to

The letter was marked "No. 390b." In j
later years when the same publishers j
asked him for one of his manuscripts
he politely requested them to refer to
their previous correspondence with j

Tli* Ascent of Tree Sap.
The problem of the ascent of sap in
trees, an English botanist points out,
is yet unsolved.. It appears that in the
highest trees the total pressure would
be nearly 100 atmospheres, and as we
cannot suppose that leaves can exert
so intense osmotic suction, the only
theory at all probable is that the living
cells exert some sort of pumping ac
tion in the wood.
