As some of the school grants were in larjje blocks, ranj;.' lea-ers may acpiiie con siderable areas for stock rai-iiif;. In Wyoming the school lands only are leased, and as the major portion of the grant to the state there was in th-' l'Jth and 30th sections of each township, there i lcs opportunity for a large block of grazing land under one lease A portion of the school land having Ix'en selected, is in larger tracts than -ingle sections, and thj i often let in one large range.

All the blood in the liody passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidney lllter the blood. They work night and day. When healthy they rvmovc about 5IK1 grains of impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases ami symptoms pain in the back, head ache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheu matism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, Irregu lar, debility, drowsines, dropsy, de posits' in the urine, etc. But if you keeji the filters- right you will have no trouble with your kidneys. Mrs. H. Collins, of 079 High street, Salem, Ore.,, says: "Trouble with my kidneys nnd backache have en used me much annoyance for several years. Al though I used a good many remedies I obtained no positive relief until my at tention was called to Dunn's Kidney Pills, and I procured them. They soon brought me effective benefit, cased the bearing down feeling throng1', the back and loins nnd banished the aching and other symptoms tlmt had annoyed me for so long, f have since learned of others who think the world of your re liable remedy, and gladly recommend it to nil suffering from backache or kidney trouble."
