Nests on ti;e Water.
It is almost uniiuukn! k» that a bird
should build a next o.i the water. Yet
that is exactly what the /relies always
do. With reeds, grass and plant stains
the grebe makes a regular floating Is
laud, somewhat hollowed out on top,
usually near the open water of a
marshy or reedy lake. We have sev
eral kinds of grebes, but their nests are
much alike, sometimes moored to the
reeds, but usually tio:atin;; freely ou the
I water.—St. Nicholas.
The Deacon's Philosophy.
No one ever gets to heaven !>efore his
time, and to most of u< it's a long time
coming.
The goud Lord helps us to hold our
ground while the old world's turning
to the brighter side, but we seldom
credit Providence with that good work.
Ever stop to think that ihtre are
just storms enough in life to make the
rainbows we sigh for?- Atlanta Consti

Fire Insurance

fuss because HOME INDUSTRY

represent only RELIABLE COM

Why Women Suffer
Many Skogway Women "re Lemm
ing tUo Cause
Women often, suffer, not knowing
the cause.
Backache, headache, dizziness,
nervousness.
Irregular urinary passages, weak
ness. languor—
Each a torture of itself.
Together iiint at weakened kid
neys.
StiJke at the root—get to the
cause, ,
Quickly help, the kidneys if they
need it
No other reme.dy more highly en
dorsed than Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here's convincing testimony.
Mrs. S. E. Ellsworth, 527 Rex
Ave., Portland, Ore., says: "I was
aix run. down because of kidney
trouble and I can, hardly describe
the pains in my back. Many times
I wat bq dizzy and nervous I could
hardly keep going. My eight was
often blurred and big black specks
c*me be ore my eyes. My sleep
didn't seem to rest me and I al
ways felt tired and listless. My
kidneys were weak and my feet and
ankles became swollen. I used
Dean's Kidney Pills and was soon
completely cured."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Ellsworth had. Foster—
