Cuticura Talcum
Is So Refreshing
A few grains of this exquisitely
scented powder dusted on the skin
soothes and cools, and overcomes
heavy perspiration. It is an ideal
face, skin, baby and dusting powder
and takes the place of other perfumes
for the skin.

VISION
1
In the chill grayness of the dawn
With singing hearts we faced the
trail;
Thru the hot noon we struggled on.
Upward, till nerve and strength must
fall.
2.
A little more! A fow steps morel
Rarh snow bank is a milestone pass
ed:
One rocky slope to struggle o'er
And then—the peak at last!
3.
The endless monntains, glacier
crowned!
The glorious reach of pines and
snow,
God shows such things to men, some
times,
But they must climb the peaks to
know. —F. C. M.

titled: "Living Models of Famous

The short play with which the

scream from start to finish. It would
be hard to say which part was done
the best, but there was no question
as to which produced the most mer
riment. Mrs. Slaughter, Mrs. Tel

and gave a fine illustration of how
such a playlet should be produced.

Colds Affect The
Kidneys
Many Skagvray People Have Found
This to be True.
Are you wretched in bad weath
er?
Does every cold settle on your
kidneya?
Does your Back ache and become
weak?
Are urinary passages Irregular
and distressing?
These symptoms are cause to sus
pect kidney weakness.
Weakened kidneys need quick
help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especial
ly prepared for weakened kidneys.
Grateful people recommend them.
J. L. Messersmlth, blacksmith,
700 E. Webb St., Pendleton, Oregon,
says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are my
old standby. Whenever I caught
cold in my kidneys it caused my
back to ache and I suffered with
complaint. At times when I stooped
over, sharp pains caught be in the
small of my back and I had to raise
up slowly. My kidneys acted too
frequently, causing me to get up
many times during the night. Doan's
Kidney Pills quickly banished the
backache and put my kidneys in
good condition. I still keep Doan's
on hand to use in case of necessity."
