FAMILY CARES
This Information May Be of Value
To Many a Mother in Wahpeton
When there is added to the
many cares inseparable from the
rearing of children that affliction
of weakness of the kidneys and
auxiliary organs, the mother's lot
is far from a happy one. This
condition has often been correct-!
ed by the use of Doan's Kidney
Pills. When relief comes the mo
ther's burden will be lighter and
her home happier.
Mrs. Herbert Becker, 815 N.
Fifth St., Wahpeton, says, "My
little son, four years old. hai!
weak kidneys for a long time. The
trouble was shown mostly at night
and was ve ryannoying. Doan's
Kidney Pills had been used suc
cessfully in our family so I gave
him some. They proved to be
just what he needed and soon re
moved the trouble."
Price 50c at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Becker recommends.

DRIVING OUT CATARRH
If people knew how the presence
of catarrh is a constant menace,
they would have none of It It
Infests some part of the delicately
adjusted body and majces it useless,
thus throwing on the other organs
more than their share of work. It
affords a carefully prepared seed
bed for the germs of colds, grip,
tuberculosis and pneumonia. It so
disarranges Nature's delicate plans
aa to make possible asthma, hay
fever and other respiratory dis
orders. It spreads until it becomes
systemic, thus involving many or
gans and debilitating the entire
system with serious results.
Catarrh is easily neglected, and
tt rarely gets well of itself. It
f'or
eeds proper medicinal correction.
almost half a century many
thousands have found help in Pe
runa, a valuable tonic with special
efficacy in catarrhal condftions.
The aim is to clean out waste mat
ter, to dispel the catarrhal inflam
mation, and tone up the whole sys
tem. .Its users willingly testify
that It has done all this and even
more for catarrhal sufferers. What
it has done is the best proof of
what it will do. Tou may rely on

TREND OP THE CAMPAIGN.
CAUGHT ON A PULLMAN
The smoking-room of rail

portunity to "feel the public
pulse." A young business man
the other day was about to start
on a trip from New York to St.
Louis. His sister is i'.itfMtsely
interested in politics tliis yew—
more so- perhaps than her
brother.
/'Send me a report on the pol
itical trend," sugge.sk-d the
young man's si-iter, as he step
ped aboard the train.
Here is the report,| precicely
as he ma'le it:

Conservation—Weal her, good,

ars, dissension (one preferred a
pipe, two preferred^ cigareftes
the rest preferred cigars of var

out of war" and all applauded

I have a prospective son-in-law
in his third year at college, and
if he couldn't have written a
more constructive speech than
that, I'd take my gjpj cruising
around 'he world to make her
forget him."
Suffrage—Hughes condemned
for his inconsistent attitude
Wilson approved for his stand
and fop doing what ho could i.
e., voting locally.
Policy^—Hughe* condemned

LOVE HO CONTEST
By JANE OSBORN.
The wood thrushes were sinning their
evening song on the elms that sur
rounded and looked down upon the
low-eaved farmhouse, but Metty
Cramer did not hear them. To be sure,
she was spending her usual after-sup.
per hour on the "front stoop," but her
thoughts were far from the songbirds.
Open In her lap was the latest issue of
the Hearth Companion. The magazine
was open at the editorial pages and
there, in large black-faced type, one
might have seen these words: "Our
Heart Problem JDontest."
"If you have a heart problem, we
want you to write and tell us about It
Prizes will be awarded for the best let
ter and as many of the other letters
as possible will receive personal an
swers with advice from one of our edi
tors."
As she rose from the step she was
too intent on her project to see the
tall, erect, though muscle-weary fig
ure of SI Larned as be came from hts
last duties In the barn, through the
shadow of the house. SI enjoyed the
distinction of being the one and only
"hired man" on the Cramer farm.
Metty stole quietly to her father's
desk and took from It the sole bottle
of Ink which the Cramer establish
ment boasted and, with this and her
father's pen In hand she ascended to
her own room, there to work out her
problem, as she regarded it. Mean
time Si sank down on the porch step.
Why had Metty avoided htui, he asked
himself, and then lie answered this
question to ills own satisfaction. "Of
course, she wouldn't look at 'hired
help' like me," he told himself. "Some
city man will come along for her and
then she won't look at me."
He thought he might be able to see
Metty if he went Into the house, so,
nbsentmlndediy picking up the maga
zine where Metty hud left It, he rose
and made his way into the sitting
room.
Metty wasn't there, so the next best
thing that occurred to hlin to do was
to read the new nuuiber of the Hearth
Companion.
On the last page of the magazine
beyond the frontispiece he came to the
editorial and, with keen attention ta
every word, he labored through it
Then cautiously, he went to Cramer's
desk and took out a pencil, delved In
to the woodbox for a piece of discard
ed wrapping paper and started toward
the door with the magazine under his
arm.
It was a month later, and nelthei
Metty nor SI had received the answei
to the problem that confronted them,
Then came the Hearth Companion and,
as Mr. Cramer had overtaken the mail
carrier,on his way back from the vil
lage that morning, he had come into
possession of the magazine first.
"I guess you want to get a look at
the new fashions," he told Metty «s he
came into the house and, passing it to
her, he turned to Si, who had come in
f(pm the fields for his midday dinner.
"Here, SI, here's a letter from the
magazine folks. I guess they want you
to subscribe to their magazine. And,
by gravy, if there isn't a letter foi
Metty, too!"
Si opened his letter hurriedly with
riUt excusing himself, and hts strong
sun-burned hand was fairly shaking
with emotion and surprise when he
took out an oblong of white paper, on
which was written an order for one
hundred dollars, payable to Si Larned
"We take great pleasure In announcing
to you that your letter has beeo
awarded the first prize in our 'heart
problem' contest," It ran. "By way ol
giving you the help and advice we
promised we wish to attract your at
tention to the letter published under
the tenth place in the contest."
While Metty was still reading her
lette—which announced that she had
won a new patent vegetable press as
a reward for having the tenth best let
ter, Si grasped the magazine which she
had laid on the table. He turned past
his own letter—which was published
exactly as he bad written It, save for
the omission of his name—and passed
on till he came to the tenth letter.
Could this really huve been written by
Metty?
"I have not the slightest hope of
winning a prize," the letter ran after
giving a more or less minute auto
biographical sketch. "My only wish
in writing Is that someone wiser than
myself might give tne advice. I am an
uneducated simple fanner's daughter.
My problem is the old, old problem. I
love a young man who works for mjr
father. I think I could make him love
me If 1 could only live in dift'erent sur
roundings. I love the country and
country life, but 1 believe he has am
hltlons. J'know 1 could ni-vi'i- 'no happy
ahy\VliWe but in this or some similar
secluded spot. My heart problem Is
this: Since I cannot happy in the
way that would correspond to this
man's ambitions, have I any right to
make him love me? And since in his
eyes 1 must be a simple country girl,
how could make him love me uny
nay?"
So intent had Si been in reading first
the letter and then the magazine that
he did not realize that Metty was at
his side, reading the pages over hia
shoulder.
"Were you writing the gospel truth,
Metty?" he asked.
"I meant eve i*y word ot it," .file said,
and then as her father shambled hack
into the.room she whispered: "I won
der if we should ever have known if it
hadn't been tor the heart-problem con
test"
