A Professional Nurse tells her experience
with Doan's Kidney Pills.
Montague. Mass.
FOSTER-MILBURN CO., Buffalo,N. Y.
Gentlemen,—I heartily wish those
who are suffering from backache and
disturbed action of the kidneys would
try Doan's Kidney Pills. As w’as the
case with me, they will be more than
surprised with the results. I have been
troubled for years with my spine. I
could not lie on either side. Spinal
cramps would follow, and words could
not explain the agony which I would
endure. While in these cramps I could
not speak or move, but by making
a great effort after the cramp had
left me I could begin to speak and
move a little, but my whole back was
so sore and lame that I could not even
have my back bathed for some time.
My nerves were in a terrible state. I
would rather sit up at night than go
to bed, dreading the cramps and the
terrible backaches. I consulted physi
cians, but got only a little relief for the
time being. Seeing your advertisement,
my mother urged me to try Doan's
Kidney Pills. After using one box I
was better, and have ever since been
on the "Sain. I have no backache and
no cramps now, and I feel like a new
person. My nerves are better and I
know my blood is purer. Words can
not express my thanMfto you for what
Doan’s Kidney Pills Ipive done for me.
In my work as professional nurse I
have a chance to recommend them;
and they did me so much good that I
will do so on every possible occasion.
HATTIE BRIGHAM, Nurse.
Doan’s Kidney Pills are sold at 50
cents per box. Address Foster-Mil

WARLIKE DAMARAS
Something About the African Na
tives Now Fighting Germany.
Differ in Many Itesperta from Olber
Tribeaineu of Soutb Africa—Are
Devoid of Unman Sympnlh}’
—Their War Dances.
Within the boundaries of what is
known as German Southwest Africa,
there is being waged at the present
time a conflict with the natives which
have revolted against German rule.
The immense territory over which Ger
many exercises a protectorate consists
of what was formerly known as Damara
and Great Nama lands. It is estimated
that these two territories contain a
native population of 200,000 and there
are about 2,900 Europeans in the coun
try, mostly Germans. Probably a large
number of these latter are traders, and
it is said that the present uprising is
due to their extortion in dealing <»ith
the natives, who supply hides, horns,
ostrich feathers, cattle and guano, and
receiving trinkets and sometimes noth
ing in return.
The Damara men are of moderate
height, and generally well made, of a
rich dark brown, like the Kaffirs, and
their hair is generally straightened out
and matted into strands, three or more
inches long, with fat and red clay.
Their dress, if such it can be called,
consists of great quantities of thin
leather thongs coiled round the hips,
and a small piece of skin between the
legs with the ends brought up and
tucked fore and aft into the cord.
Beads, iron rings, strips of tin or brass
etc., are used for ornaments, and in
the hair over the center of the fore
head a cockle shell is worn.
The costume of the women is most
singular. Strings of beads, either of
glass or iron, or from the ostrich egg
shell, are hung round their necks and
hips, the latter being encircled by a
broad loose belt, with pieces of shell or
white beads worked on it. Anklets are
formed of iron strung upon leather,
and in some cases these heavy circlets
extend away down over the instep.
Iron in various forms, either as ring3
for the arms and wrists or beads to
decorate the body are freely used. But
the most curious portion of their attire
is the headdress, which consists of a
stout leather skullcap with three ears
of the same material affixed to it, one
on each side and one behind, nicely
rounded, hollowed and stiffened and
finally polished with grease and iVd
clay. Bands of coarse shells are gen
/--\
DAMARAS.
erally laid round the cap, ainl the soft
leather attached to the front is general
ly roiied up, ro that crossing the fore
head it falls down on either shoulder
Behind is a bread tail or fall, two or
three feet long and six or eight inches
wide, composed of short tubes of tin
strung upon leather thongs, and then
stretched side by side upon the binding
piece, the ends of which are cut into
a fringe. The children wear only a
girdle with a fringe in front, the length
varying according to the fancy and the
amount of skin in the parent’s hands.
It is said the Damaras are about the
most heartless people under the sun.
It is a well known fact that in other
African tribes the aged and helpless
are left to perish, but the Damaras go
a step beyond this and torture and rob
the sick or helpless, even though they
be members of the same family. A mis
sionary tells of a native blind girl
whom he took into his house to protect
from the members of her own family.
The brother followed her and when not
watched took the food away from her,
and when forbidden the house, he suc
ceeded in enticing his 3ister from the
house and leading her a distance in the
veldt abandoned her in her helpless
condition to be devoured by hyenas.
Such are the natives’ against which
Germany is forced to wage a warfare.
It is said that Windhoek, the residence
of the government officials, has been
attacked by 5,000 to 8,000 natives and
the place cut off from all communica
tion with the outside world. The na
tives are poorly armed and their meth
ods of warfare consist in swooping
down upon isolated posts, when men,
women and children are murdered and
other atrocities committed.
Wbiii'I Sriuli'b Anyhow.
In crossing the ocean a father and son
both became very seasick. The father re
covered quickly, but the son was so ex
hausted with the attack that he sank into
a state of apathy from which it seemed
impossible to arouse him. The steamer
physician, thinking he would try a sud
den shock, said: "1 have bad news for
you. Your father is dead.” The son,
raising his expressionless eves to the doc
tor, replied: “Lucky man!”
The U, S. Dept, of Agrlcnltnre
gives to Salzer's Oats its heartiest en
dorsement. Salzer’s New National Oats
yielded in 1903 from lf>0 to 300 bu. per

Farmer, can beat this in 1904, if you will.
Sailer’s seeds are pedigree seeds, bred up
through careful selection to big yields.
