Have When the kidneys are sick they give unmistakable warnings that should not be ignored. By examining the urine and treating the kidneys upon the first sign of disorder, days of suffering may be saved.

Sluggish kidneys cause a dull pain in the small of the back, headaches, dizzy spells, tired, languid feelings and frequently rheumatic twinges. Doan's Kidney Pills are for the only they cure sick kidneys, and rid the blood of uric poison. If you suffer from any of the above symptoms you can use nowish better remedy.

Willmar, says: "I had been troubled for over two years from my kidneys. These organs seemed very weak, the secretions being too frequent and greatly interfered with my rest.

I was subject to dizzy spells and headaches, at times so severe that I would nearly fall. I was very nervous and in the morning felt tired and languid. Sudden cricks would cacth me in the back and I could hardly move. I was greatly run down in health when I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and procured a box at A. E.

Mossberg's drug store. They helped me at once, and in a short time I was cured. It gives me pleasure to -recommend Doan's Kidney Pills to other kidney sufferers." CARD OF THANKS.

From Our North Dakota Boy. Rhame, N. April Haug from Pennock, arrived here one day last week and after looking the land over decided to file on a claim lying vacant between the claims of Oscar Edberg and George Stene. Mr. Haug will be back again some time in June to build on his claim and make other necessary improvements.

Hans Carlson from Pennock, was here some time ago and filed on a claim adjoining his brother John's claim. He expects to be back some time next fall. The Thompson Bros, of New London arrived here last week with a carload of farm implements and horses, and are now busy breaking and fencing. Olof Christenson and Oscar Odland have been digging wells on their claims the past week, but did not succeed in getting water altho they were down over 25 feet but the boys hard piece of ground to go thru, as they struck a layer of lignite coal, which is hard to get thru. After getting a few days' rest they will try again.

Lars Veke and Nils Alvig, from Willmar, arrived in Bowman the other day with a car of machinery, lumber and hoises. Mr. Alvig has his claim about 50 miles south from his nearest market which place he left with his property. Mr. Veke arrived at his claim here in our locality last Friday with his property, and is now busy building a bod house on his claim.

The sod house has pioved itself to be the best here, being we often have some severe wind storms here which are apt to move our lumber shanties around some, and so Lars thinks it's best to stay on the safe side and build a house of sod that will "stay put" and not twist or turn so easily. W. W. Petterson from Norway Lake, aimed here with his family the first days of the month and has now finished nib house and moved in with his family today. They have been staying at the home of Olof Holmberg since their arrival.

Mr. Petterson came up here with a car of lumber and a team last fall, but was taken ill and was obliged to leave his team in the care of Olof Holmberg and leave for his former home, where he has been all winter but now we are glad to see that he is recovering from his illness and wish him a complete recovery. C. E. Bergquist left for Rhame last Monday to attend to his machine business at that place.

Herman Johnson, who arrived here from New London with a car of horses, cattle and machinery some time ago, also bringing his family, has had hard luck since his arrival. The second day on his claim his cattle went astray and after a week's chasing he was able to looate them at a rancher's place near Medicine Hills, about ten miles north, and the day he brought his cattle home he found on his arrival that one of his best horses had died while he was away. This is hard luck for a homesteader out here on the wild prairie at this time of the year, being the breaking season, and we all feel sorry for Mr. Johnson, but we hope he will meet a brighter future after this trouble is over. Olof Lien arnved.in Griffin with a car of horses, cattle and machinery last Tuesday, from Norway Lake, and has been busy these days hauling the property out here on his claim and those of bis father, Lien, and his brother, Peter.

Mrs. P. P. Lien and family arrived at the same time, and they seem to like the country quite well, altho we must admit that they see quite a difference from the beautiful country surrounding our native country, Norway Lake, with all its lovely sheets of waters and beautiful woods, and it reminds me of the familiar song "Home, Sw'eet Home," when it says, "Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home," or I meant to say Norway Lake or Kandiyohi county. George Roen and George Stene have been helping W.

N. Peterson building a house on his claim for a few days. Olof Rood from Norway Lake, who accompanied the Lien folks up here, also got a good taste for Bowman county and so he filed on a claim adjoining those of Olof and Peter Lien. That's right, Olof help us build up a future country, and you will never regret coming to Bowman county. George Roe is compelled to stay at his home nowadays nursing a sore foot, which he got some time ago while hauling wood from the Table Mountains.

He is at this writing obliged to stay in bed most of the time, but we hope he will soon recover. Miss Aldina Edberg is staying at Mrs. Kvalness' place near the Medicine Hills while Mrs. Kvalness is away on a business trip to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. MILWAUKEE TO BUILD INTO WILLMAR SOON.
