WOMEN'S WOES.ALBANY WO
MEN ARE FINDING RELIEF
AT LAST.
It docs seem that women have more
than a lair share of the aches and
pains that afllict humanity; they must
"keep up," must atlend to duties in
spite of constantly aching backs, or
headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down
pains; they must sloop over, when to
stoop means torture. They must walk
and bend and work with racking pa.ins
and many aches from kidney ills. Kid
ney cau.iC nunc suiVcriug than any
other organ of the body. Keep the
kidneys well and health is easily main
tained. Read of a remedy for kidneys
only that helps and cures the kidneys
and' is endorsed by people you know.
Airs. Al. Custer, of 138 W. Ninth
St., Albany, Ore, says: "1 have had
no occasion to use Doan's Kidney
l'ilts lor nearly three years and think
that fact alone is proof of their value.
Al the lime I procured this remedy at
l-'o-hay & .Mason's drug store 1 was
suffering from an acute attack of kid
ney complaint, the residt of a cold that
had nettled in my kidneys. I was so
weak and lame that i could scarcely
move from one place to another and
the kidney secretions were too frc-
tie-til. 1 used Doan's Kidney Pills
until cured, and in March. W03, 1 told
ot my experience in our local papers.
Now that the cure has proved perma
nent 1 am firmly convinced ot the val
ue ot lloan's kidnev Pills."

LAND MONOPOLY
Editor Democrat:
English lords are telling one an
other that the new land tax will have
to be swallowed, bitter as" it is, else
the House of Commons will wipe
them off the map and the Constitu
tion. That is about the size of it. I
Land monopoly is doomed in all civ- j
tlization. No people can continue to
give the greater part of their- pro
ducts to support an idle and landed
aristocracy and remain free or pros
perous. England would be over-run
by the Russians or the Japanese in
another century unless it has the virus
iii its veins to shake off the 00 lords
clinging to its throat like so many
vipers. In Oregon we are and have
been building up a lot of land mon-
opolissls who must walk the plank. I
The plank will be bung out over the
gunwales of the old Ship of State i
within a shorter time than many of us ;

A Jab.
By the Corvallis Gazette-Times:
Students returning last night from
their Thanksgiving holiday found the
combination hearse rnn on the C. & E.
very inadequate. The comDanv verv
obligingly attached a cattle or coal car
and brought the young people over fro m
Aioany. inis Deat staying all night at
the Hub city, of course, but conmiArincr
heroes are entitled to more thoughtful
consideration. The fact is that com
bination car is frequently oveicowded
on its night return trip from Albany.
The writer of this has had to stand at
different t mes.and has sat while others
stood. This coach and that old patent
leather sleeper are not very good
advertisements for the city or tha C. &
E. Surely the C. & E., could dig up a
respectable passenger coach and run it
at no particular disadvantage.

Oregon Apples Win Honors at
National Show at Spokane, r
Portland, Nov. 30. State pride ran
high during the past week because Ore- i
gon apples won the grand prize at Spo
kane at the National Apple Show in
competition with apples-from all over
the United States. Tronson & Guthrie,
growers of Eagle Point Or. were re
ceiving congratulations on all sides over
their succtss. The growers have only
five acres in bearing orchard and had
not expected to exhibit at Spokane. It
was not until a large part of their crop
was marketed that ;hey decided to
enter a car.
Oregon dairymen are showing great
interest in the annual convention of the
state association, to be held in Portland
December 9 and 10, and the attendance
will be large. Many prizes have been
offered for the best showing of dairy
products made at the convention and
the exhibits will undoubtedly be the
best made in recent years.
According to W. R. Parker, of Baker
City, who has be n in the city during
the past week, Oregon has the only
herd of ibex known to exist on the con
tinent. He discovered the rare ani
mals in the vicinity of Mount Eagle in
the Cornucopia Range.
