RI EAI, § 1 HARD TO BEAR.. When the back aches and pains so badly, can't work, can’t rest, can’t sleep, can’t eat, it is hard to bear. Thousands of aching backs have been relieved and cured. People are iearning that backache pains come from disordered kidneys, that Doan’s Kidney Pills cure every Kidney ill, cure Bladder troubles, uri- mary derangements, Dropsy, Diabetes, Bright’s Disease. Read this testimony to the merit of the greatest of Kidney Specifics. J. W. Walls, superintendent | of streets of Lebanon, Ky., living on East Main street in that city, says: “With my nightly rest broken, ow- ing to irregularities of the kidneys, suffering intensely from severe pains in the small of my back and through the kidneys, and annoyed by painful passages of abnormal secretions, life was anything but pleasant for me. No amount of doctoring relieved this condition and for the reason that noth- ing seemed to give me even temporary relief, I became about discouraged. One day I noticed in the newspapers the case of a man who was afflicted as I was and was cured by the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills. His words of praise for this remedy were so sin- cere that on the strength of his state- ment I went to the Hugh Murray Drug Co.’s store and got a box. I found that the medicine was exactly as powerful a kidney remedy as rep- resented. I experienced quick and lasting relief. Doan’s Kidney Pills will prove a blessing to all sufferers from kidney disorders who will give them a fair trial.” A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Mr. Walls will be mailed to any part of the United States on application.

REGENTS TO GOVERN. Will Have Charge of “U” Under Modus Operandi With Board of Control. The regents of the university met recently to make plans for assuming entire control of the institution. A com- mittee consisting of Regents Wyman, Rice and Wilson were appointed to ; arrange with the board of control the method of operation. Important busi- | ness was deferred pending action by this committee in order that all fric- tion might be avoided. Dr. Richard Burton's final resigna- tion from the faculty was finally ac- | cepted. Dr. Burton has been on a leave of alhsence since last June and it was thought he would return next September. No one was appointed to fill the vacancy. Dr. Mary Cutts, widow of Dr. Rollin E. Cutts, who was an instructor in the department of medicine, gave $500 to the university, the interest-of which is to be used in providing an annual medal for excellent work in surgery, the work to be under the direction of the medical faculty. Alfred Piilsbury offered to build a $20,000 brick wall around the new ath- letic field. The donation was accept- ed by the regents and *_e work will massive “Julius Caesar” next week. begin as soon as the title to Se new- ly acquired, land is secured. The regents accepted the recom- mendation of the executive committee with regard to the engineering fees, and the old standaré will be reinstat- ed—$15 per term for residents of the state and $30 per term for non-resi- dents. Six instructors in the various de- partmerts were made assistant pro- fessors t the session the regents took up the matte rof the new athletic field and the filling of a number of vacan- cies in the faculty. No information has as yet been received from the Great Northern railroad concerning the track it is proposed to lay on the campus just above the river, and as the regents have served notice that such a move would be resisted in the courts, the ‘matter will ‘probably be dropped. TO ENFORCE MILK LAW. Dairy and Food Commission Will Car- ry Out Requirements of Law. The state dairy and food commis- sion has arranged to enforce the new laws regulating the sale of milk, and as a preliminary step will require ev- ery milk dealer to comply at once with the law by paying the license fee of $1. By this means the dealers are re- corded with the dairy and food depart- ment. Along with this a systematic investigation will be commenced, reaching to the sources from which dealers obtain their supply. This means the inspection of barns where cattle are housed, the sanitary condi- | tion of the dairies and creameries, the | examination of the vessels in which | the milk is transported, and the test | of the milk itself. | This new law will apply especially | to Si. Paul, where 40 per cent of the supply is shipped from other portions of the state. The new measure, re- quiring the wholesale dealers to take out licenses, and every dealer who sells milk in the city to register, will simplify the work of locating the farmers from whom the milk is pur- chased. | Have You Noticed That Whisky improves with old age, but old age does not improve with whisky.

MR, RICHARD MANSFIELD. Senator Fairbanks to Address State Fair Visitors. Charles W. Fairbanks, United States senator from Indiana, will speak on Monday, Aug. 31, the opening day of the Minnesota state fair. Secretary E. M. Randall of the State Agricul- tural society received from the sena- tor the following letter of acceptance: My Dear Sir: I havg your invita- ticn on behalf of the board of man- agers of the Minnesota State Agricul- tural society, to attend the opening of your state fair on Monday, Aug. 31, and deliver an-address. It gives me great pleasure to accept your very generous invitation. Respectfully yours, —Charles W. Fairbanks. It is understood that Senator Fair- banks will talk on some line connect- ed with agricultural matters. Although a lawyer by profession, and a states- man, he owns and looks after several farms, and devotes much attetiion to agriculture. He is a native of Union county, Ohio, and lived on a farm dur- ing his boyhood. Senator Fairbanks was chairman of the St. Louis convention at waich Mc- Kinley was nominated for the presi- dency. He is recognized as one of the foremost orators of the country. This is a recent portrait of the most celebrated living actor. By his dra- mate art and gorgeous productions he has wrested the leadership of the stage from England and Europe and has planted it here in America. Mans- field is now in the West, and: the Twin Cities are preparing to see him in his FARMERS WRITE MORE LETTERS. Rural Mail Routes Are Becoming Seif- Sustaining. The rural mail routes through the state are rapidly becoming self-sus- taining, according to reports of those handling the mail for the loca] routes. When the routes were started they caused little extra work for the em- ployes at the postoffice. There was not a route that averaged more than fifteen or twenty letters and a small amount of second-class matter. There are nine routes now starting from St. Paul. Each route is averaging more than a hundred letters a day, with a greatly increased amount of second- class matter. The routes are each costing the gov- ernmert $50 a month. The postage on the increased number of letters the farmers write and receive, thé various eatriers say, in-many cases cover the cost of maintaining .the routes. CONDITION OF CROPS GOOD. Weekly Bulletin Shows Seeding to Be Well Advanced. Crop conditions throughout Minne- sota are good, according to Weekly Crop Bulletin No. 2. Except in the southeast, where the early part of the week was wet, the weatber has been very favorable for all forms of work, and the seeding of wheat was .general. Considerable oats and barley have also. been seeded. Most of the seeding has been done on the high and dry lands, as the heavy soils and fiat lands are still wet. In a few places in the southwest the early wheat, oats and barley are be- ginning to come up. Clover, winter rye and wheat and small fruits passed through the winter ~ ~astures are becoming green, but the amount of nourishment offered by them is still small.

A curious matrimonial case came the other day before the district court at Simferopol. A bride of a few months’ standing and of eleven years of age sued her husband for desertion and the non-fulfillment of a pre-nuptial con- tract. Both parties were Tartars. The child-wife is described as a prepos- sessing girl of shy demeanor. Althongh desertion was proved, the court held that the marriage was, in the eyes of Russian law, invalid, but it pronounced for the pre-nuptial con- tract. under which the plaintiff was to receive a dower of £1,000. The de- fendant was a ‘well-to-do farmer and sheep breeder, and was. just three times the age of his repudiated wife— London Mail. The State Defined. The state is not organized, nor is it used primarily to protect capital and oppress and enslave the masses. The state is legalized government, which came into existence and has been con- stantly subject to modification, to -pro- tect the community or-country from molestation from without and to main- tain order and protect the interests | and rights as evolved by the character development and concensus of opinion | of the people. The state does pro- tect capital and property; it has per-+ haps been oppressive to the masses, and has sometimes legalized slavery; but these acts are always incident to order and in accordance with the con- sensus of opinion and development of character of the people in that com- munity or country where they are enacted; and just as fast as this con- sensus of opinion changes the laws are modified.—Gunton’s Magazine. Some Visual Measurements. se “When I watch a new building going up day by day, from foundation to flag- staff,” said the city salesman, “I get so muddled by the time it is completed ; that I cannot tell for the life of me whether it is 50 feet wide or 500 feet. So far as mere visual measurements go, the size varies so much in the course of construction that confusion is unavoidable. When the excavation seems so enormouse that I could take oath it covers a ten-acre lot. After the | steel framework goes up the building shrinks amazingly, and I say to my- self, ‘Well, that isn’t going to be such a big affair, after all. How could my eyes have deceived me so when look- ing at the excavation?” But when the walls are finished and the windows in and the decorations all stuck in place, the whole building swells out, again prodigiously.’"—New York Times.

Founders of large fortunes are usu- ally too mean to enjoy them. The real heroines of every day are inour homes. Frequently, how- ever, it is a mistaken and useless heroism. ‘Women seem to listen to every call of duty except the supreme one that tells them to guard their health. How much harder the daily tasks become when some derangement of the female organs. makes every movement inful: and keeps the nervous system unstrung? Irritability takes the place of happiness and amiability; and weakness and suffering takes the place of health and strength. As long as they can drag themselves around, women continue to work and perform their household duties. They have been led to believe that suffering is necessary because they are women. What a mistake! The\use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will banish pain and restore happiness. Don’t resort to strong stimulants or nar- cotics when this aoe strengthening, healing remedy for women is always within reach. FREE MEDICAL ADVICE TO WOMEN. ¢ ‘If there is meld teas | in your case about which you would like special advice, write freely to Mrs. Pinkham. No man will see pak letter. She can surely help you, for no person in America as such a wide experience in treating female ills as she has had. She has helped hundreds of thousands of women back to health. Her address is Lynn, Mass., and her advice is free. You are very foolish if you do not accept her kind invitation. For proof read the symptoms, suffering and cure recited in the following letters: “Dear Mrs. Prxkeam :—i wish to express to you the great benefit I have derived from your advice and the use of Lydia E Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound. My trouble was female weakness in its worst form and I was in a very bed condition. Icould not perform my household duties, my back ached, I was extremely nervous, and I could not eat or sleep, and the bearing-down pains were terrible. My husband spent hundreds of dollars to get me well, and all the medicine that the doctors prescribed failed todo me any good; I resorted to an operation which the physician said was necessary to restore me to health, but I suffered more aftcr it than I did before; I had hemorrhages of the womb that nothing could:scem to stop. “T noticed one of yoyr advertisements and wrote you for advice, I re- ceived your reply and earcfully followed all instructions. I immediately began to get stronger, and in two weeks was about the house. I took eight bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and continued following your advice, and to-day I am a well woman.

Lydia E, Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mase __ THE MEN AND WOMEN Who Enjoy the Choicest Products of the World’s Commerce. Knowledge of What Is Best More Ime portant Than Wealth With- out ‘It. It must be apparent to every one that qualities of the highest order are neces- sary to enable the best of the products of modern commerce to attain permanently to universal acceptance. However loudly heralded, they may not hope for world-wide preeminence unless they meet with the general approval, not of individuals only, but of the many who have the happy faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn- ing the real worth of the choicest prod- ucts. Their commendation, consequently, becomes important to others, since to meet the requirements of the well in- formed of all countries the method of manufacture must be of the: most per- fect order and the-combination the most excellent of its kind. The above is true not of food products only, but is espe- cially applicable to medicinal agents and after nearly a quarter of a century of growth and general use the excellent remedy, Syrup of Figs, is everywhere accepted, throughout the world, as the best of family laxatives. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative and carmin- ative principles of plants known to act most beneficially on the system and pre- sented in the form of a pleasant and re- freshing liquid, but also to the method of manufacture of the California Fig Syrup Co., which ensures that uniformi- ty and purity essential in a remedy in- tended for family use. Ask any physi- cian who is well informed and he will answer at once that it is an excellent laxative. If at ali eminent in his pro- fession‘and has made a special study of laxatives and their effects upon the sys- tem he will tell you that it is the best of family laxatives, because it is sim- pie and wholesome and’ cleanses and sweetens the system effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any un- pleasant after-effects. Every well-in- formed druggist of reputable standing knows that Syrup of Figs is an excel- lent laxative and is glad to sell it, at the regular price of fifty cents per bot- tle, because it gives general satisfac- tion, but one should remember that in order to get the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs it is necessary to buy the genuine, which is sold in original pack- ages only; the name of the remedy— Syrup of Figs and also the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co. —printed on the front of every package.
