Those having the misfortune to suffer from backache, urinary disor- ders, gravel, dropsical swellings, rheumatic pains, or other kidney and bladder disorders, will read with gratification this encouraging state- ment by a Bemidji man. A. E. Hannah, 704 Mississippi Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says:" “l1 have used Doan’s Kidney Pills and know that they are a valuable kidney rem- edy. I had been annoyed by a lame and aching back and pains in my kid- neys. 1 could hardly stoop or lift and I felt lame and stiff in the morn- ing.

MINNESOTA CLIMATE (Continued from first page). during the early summer and the minimum (in the form of snow) dur- ing the winter months. = This distri~ bution of precipitation combined with low temperatures of winter and only moderately high temperatures of summer make conditions just right for the cultivation of the best grain and cereal crops. The humidity is normal, averag- ing about eighty percent in the morn- ings and seventy per cent in the eve- nings. The absence of high humid- ity gives a certain crispness to the air which in turn produces a hardi- ness in the plants that is most desir- able. It is true that the state is visited by early frosts in the autumn and late frosts in the spring making the growing season rather short. How- ever the abundance of sunshine com- bined with the other factors men- tioned above gives rise to a rapid growth of the crops that are sown. The accumulation of snow during the winter is not an indication of heavy snowfall. The continued cold of winter prevents melting and the rapid evaporation of snow; hence nearly all that falls remains on the ground till spring. Heavy rains are not wanted during the planting sea- son although moisture in the soil is very welcome. The combination of many hours of sunshine, low rainfall and melting snows of spring which furnish requisite moisture for the soil, meet with the farmer’s hearty approval. Among the many agricultw al pro- ducts- of the state wheat, corn, oats, barley, flax, hay and forage form the largest crops. A great variety of fruits such as raspberries along the floodplain of the Mississippi, straw-{ berries and grapes in the central part of the state, and plums and melons, add to the output. Grasslands Are Excellent. The excellent grasslands, a re- sponse to the same climatic condi- tions that make possible the valuable grains, have made Minnesota one of the leading dairying states of the union. 1In fact for several years past it has lead all other states in the pur- ity and excellence of quality of but- ter. 5 (Continued Tomorrow.)

MacLachlan, proprietor of the roller skating rink, beginning to- night will put in operation a plan which he hopes:will be a benefit to all roller skaters. Last night many of the younger men mistook the rink for a speed rink and cut capers on the floor which endangered them- selves as well as the ladies. His plan is to open the rink from 7 to 7:30-to those who wish to speed but after that they must slow down to the reg- ular speed. For fifteen minutes each evening no one but the ladies will be allowed on the floor and then for fifteen minutes the floor will be used for racing. The same length of time will be given to the ladies with their escorts to enjoy a good skate with out fear of collision with others. Mr. MacLachlan intends to put on some exciting races this winter with out of town men as well as the local speeders. Later on masquerades will be given with prizes awarded for the best costumed couples. HOSPITAL NOTES. Mrs. C. R.

So many people whom you meet about the time they reach 40 begin by saying “I can’t do this, and I can’t do that, because I'm getting old now,” they begin to act old, feel old and they are older in appearance than many who are much more ad- vanced in years. ‘When you begin to feel old, when your energy begins to fail build yourself up with our delicious cod liver and iron tomic, Vinol. It is a wonderful blood-maker and strength- ener. Mr. J. N. Kelley, aged 756 who lives at Lake Charles, La, says: “I took Vinol for a‘run-down condition, it not only built up my strength, but I feel fifteen years younger than I did before taking it.”’ Thousands of old people have found in Vinol just the medicine they need to build up the feeble, weakened sys- tem and create lt\‘_'ensth.
