The burning of the Shipley bridge a
cross the Tualatin, causes no little in
convenience to farmers here. They have
to go by way of Oregon City or Tualatin
to get to Portland. When a new bridge
is built, it sliould be covered from bank
to bank as those long suspension ap
proaches are expensive to rebuild, and
in only a few years are dangerous. Pil
ing may be cheap and easily driven, but
a bridge costing from $1000 to $6000
put up on pegs is not safe. Good cylind
ders tilled with concrete or like substance
is tho proper thing in that place.

to the head of the family the bread
winner, the omnipresent thought is
"Have I safely provided for the wife
aud little ones?"
Nine times out of ten, "No" is the
answer. It is then too late, however, to
do anything. The essential thing to do
is to prepare now for what may occui at
anytime. An investigation of the Mas
sachusetts Mutual's new policies aud
bonds, will, without a doubt, bring to
your notice a contract that will exactly
suit your case.
If interested, send a postal, giving
your name, address, ocenpaton and date
of birth, when an illustration will be
sent you, Bhowing exactly what the
company will do for you. No guess
work about it, as the dividends are paid
annually and not withheld for twenty
years or so, and then not paid unless
the contract is in force at that time.

Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood In Jrour body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
1 he kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities In the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fall to do
their work.
Pains, achesandrheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid In the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart Is
over-working In pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits '7V"

A WOMAN'S PRAYER.
It is notable that in the despondency
caused by womanly diseases, there seems
to many a suffering woman no way of
escape from pain except at th price of"
life itself. It would be sad to record
such a story at struggle and suffering ex
cept for the fact
that in such dire
distress many a
woman has
found a way
back to health
and happiness by
the use of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite
Prescription.
This great rem
edy for womanly
ills has well been
called "A god-1
send to weak and!
sick women." It
establishes regu
larity, dries weakening drains, heals in
flammation aud ulceration and cures fe
male weakness. It makes weak women
strong and sick women well.
"Your medicine almost raised me from the
dead," writes Mrs. Edwin h. Gardner, of Egypt,
Plymouth Co., Mass., Box 14. "My urine was
like brick dust, and I had pain all over me and
mich a dragging feeling it aeemed I could not de
my hotie work. I had te ait down to wash the
eSihes, even. In the year 187 I was so sick I
did not care to live and prayed many times that
God would take me. Oae day I found a little
book. I read it and wrote to Dr. Pierce, and in
a few days received a answer. I decided to try
Bis medicine, and to-day I am a well woman. I
have no backache, no headache, no pain at all.
I Med always to have headaches previously to
the monthly period and such pain that I would!
roll on the floor in agony. I look three botUes
of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and three
of 'Golden Medical Discovery' and three vials
of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant TelletS, and was com
pletely cured."
Accept no substitute for " Favorite Pre
scription." There is nothing just as good.

Adviser sent free on receipt of stamps
