At the first sign of back- ache, headache, dizziness or urinary disorders, you should give the weak- ened kidneys prompt attention. Eat little meat, take things easier and use a reliable kidney tonic. There’s no other kidney medicine so well recommended as Doan’s Kidney Pills. Bemidji people rely on them. Here’s one of the many .statements from Bemidji people. g Mrs. H. Carver, 703 Fourteenth St., says: “I have used Doan’s Kid- ney Pills several times and they have always proved beneficial. Whenever I find my kidneys not acting as they should or my back bothers me I take Doan’s Kidney Pills and they soon have me feeling all right. Of late, I have had no necessity to use any- thing for my kidneys as I have been in the best of health since I last used Doan’s Kidney Pills. Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t ~ ADDITIONAL LOCALS - | simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Carver had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Three Kinds of Forest Fires. There are three kinds of forest fires —the “surface fire,” which merely runs in the leaves and ground litter; the “ground fire,” that covers the under- brush and the dense forests, and the “crown fire,” the most dangerous and terrifying of all. A crown fire is usu- ally caused when the ground or sur- face fire reaches the top of a vidge or " knoll, and the Increased draft carries the blaze up the trunks of the .trees to the tops of the “crowns.” It is the crown fires which have made the great forest fires of history. Surrounding the burning area by a trench from which everything down to the mineral soil has been removed is the only kind of fire line which will stop a ground fire, and it will often stop a surface fire, For surface fire “whipping” or using brush branches or water soaked sack- ing to whip the burning‘leaves at the edge of the fire back into the burned area is most effective. Sand as well as water is valuable in fighting this kind of fire, too. There is only one way to fight'a crown fire—that is, by “back- firing”"—fighting fire with fire. Drawing Lots for a Wife. I love the way they once faced the grim realities of life and fought fire with fire. Marriage was a lottery, so they settled it by lot. The way of a man with a maid might upset the cal- culations of the wise man in Proverbs, but it didn’t feaze the early Moravians. They got out the lot bowl, put the names in; prayed that the drawing would be providentially guided, and went ahead in faith. And those mar- riages so arranged were such successes that one is almost tempted to wish for a return of the custom,.in disuse now for many a year.—Exchange. i The First Envelope. *The first envelope of which there is any knowledge inclosed a letter sent in 1896 by Sir William Turnbull to Sir James Ogilvie. The epistle, with its covering, is still preserved in the Brit- ish museum. At that period, and long aftepward, it was the general custom to fald letters and seal them with wax. farly in the last century envelopes pegan to come into more general use, and stamped envelopes achieved wide popularity in England shortly after the establishment of the penny post in 1840, By 1850 they were largely used on this.side of the Atlantic. —— ‘Wanted Two Lids. Carl was fond of biscuits, especially the upper crusts of them. One morn- *ng when his mother picked up a bis- cuit to prepare a sandwich for him Carl 'caught his mother’s hand affec- tionately and said: “Please, mamma, give me two lids.” BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA WANTED— 25 extra Salespeople at once, experience not necessary.
