McCook Women Are Finding Relief At
Last
It does seem that women have more
than a fair share of the aches and pains
that afflict humanity they must keep
up must attend to duties in spite of
constantly aching backs or headaches
dizzy spells beariug down pains they
must stoop over when to stoop means
torture They must walk and bend and
bend and work with racking pains and
many aches from kidney ills Kidneys
cause more suffering than any other or
gan of the body Keep the kidneys well
and health is easily maintained Read
of a remedy for kidneys only that helps
and cures the kidneys and is endorsed
by people you know
Mrs Eliza ODell living in the north
western part of McCook Neb says
Previous to using Doans Kidney Pills
1 suffered a graat deal from kidney
trouble I had a dreadful aching across
the small of my back and kidneys I
cannot begin to tell what misery I en
dured I felt tired and worn out from
morning until night and headaches and
dizzy spells were frequently added to my
afflictions Tho kidney secretions were
irregular and so frequent that I was
obliged to rise many times during the
night They were also dark in color
and if allowed to stand contained a
heavy sediment After trying many
remedies without relief I procured a
box of Doans Kidney Pills at McCon
nells drugstore They soon banished
the pain from my back and the kidneys
were restored to their normal action
Doans Kidney Pills completely cured
me and I have not suffered any symptom
of a recurrence for some time

The Methods Used by the Red
Men to Communicate
SIGNS THAT SPEAK VOLUMES
Sticks and Stones Have a Language of
Their Own and Servo to Indicate Di
rection Departure Intention Warn
ing Claim or Demand
As time has passed and civilization
has changed Indian conditions I was
under tho impression that our red
brothers had forgotten the use of
signs in their travels but as 1 was
loitering about tho hills in Siskiyou
county some time ago I came across
a genuine Indian sign such as I had
not seen for a dozen years before It
was a simple little sign In appearance
but it was full of meaning to those
who could read it a long stick with
one end stuck in the ground the other
leaning and pointing up the road The
stick was elevated at au angle of only
about ten degrees from the ground
and was supported on a stone It told
some Indian that his friend had been
along there and had gone ahead in the
direction pointed out by the stick
I marveled at It but on investiga
tion found that the Indians of Califor
nia still use signs to convey intelli
gence to each each I found that
among the Cocopahs Cohuillas Pimas
and Yumas the sign is as much in use
as ever
While traveling in San Bernardino
county later on I came across a pecu
liar grouping of stones and at once
saw that some Indian had left a sign
so that all other Indians might know
that water was to be found hi a cer
tain direction The stones were lying
in a complete circle and in the center
was a long triangular stone with the
sharp point indicating a specific direc
tion The sign was plain to one versed
in such things and In order to see if
the same sign was universal for I had
seen it elsewhere I followed the direc
tion pointed out by the long stone and
found a little spring
This arrangement of stones I had
often seen in a dozen different nlnros
in the middle west and as a variant
which was also found in California I
have seen a mound of stones similar
to a miners monument with a pointed
stone resting on top pointing toward
water In many parts of the country
especially in the desert parts of Cali
fornia and Arizona the question of
water supply for travelers is one that
lequires serious consideration and I
have known men to pass within a few
hundred yards of water without know
ing it because they could not read In
dian signs The sfcn was in nlnfn
view and was placed there because the
Indians recognized the necessity of tell
ing all who came along that they could
find water True there was not a big
board set up with Water painted on
it but to the initiated it was equally
plain There is not a trail in all the
southwest that runs near a spring that
does not have the sign openly display
ed I have even seen instances where
the water was so far from the regular
trail that special signs have been made
to show where it is
Sometimes however these circles
may not mean water at all and then
it is necessary to understand the intri
cacies of the Indian mind to understand
just what he is driving at I remem
ber once when I was hunting on the
Republican river I came across a circle
uj uuluuu huuiis wnicn attracted my
attention because of their peculiar ar
rangement Sixteen skulls were set in
a semicircle with their noses pointing
down the river In the center of the
circle was a skull on Avhich were paint
ed thirty six red lines Near the skulls
were two small sticks placed upright in
the ground and at the top of each
stick were tied two bundles of hair
A Tawnee Indian was with me and
told me that thirty six Tawnees had
camped there aiiey had made a raid
against a camp of Comanches contain
ing sixteen tents or lodges and had
taken four scalp They were now re
turning nome down the river To the
ordinary observer this arrangement of
skulls and sticks would have given no
more Impression than the idea that
some one had been amusing himself by
playing with these buffalo skulls To
the Indian the
arrangement was a
complete story
Indians use signs for several specific
purposes the most prevalent being that
of guidance but they are also used for
direction departure intention condi
tion warning and claim or demand I
was hunting with a party of Utes in
southwestern Colorado and we had
separated with the understanding that
we were to meet again at a specified
place and all go back to the village to
gether On reaching the appointed
place one of the party was not there
but the rest started to the village pay
ing no attention to his nonappearance
I asked if they were not going to Avait
until ho came back but they said he
had been there and had gone on to the
village without waiting for us to come
up When I expressed surprise I was
shown a long stick standing in the
trail with a bunch of grass fastened to
its top The stick was leaning toward
the village and this told the story of
the missing man as plainly as if he
had written a letter about it I found
that a similar stick had been erected
at the top of every hill between there
and where the village could be seen
He took no chances of the sticks fall
ing down and told the story over sev
eral times
The same sign is used by the Indians
of southern Alaska and also by the
Winnebagoes of Manitoba The Sioux
use a split stick with a short stick in
the split pointing In the direction tak
