OUT-OF-ORDER KIDNEYS ACT HUE AND BACKACHE SIMPLY VANISHES.

Just a few doses regulate the Kidneys ending Bladder Misery. The most effective and harmless way to cure backache and regulate out-of-order kidneys, or end bladder trouble, Is to take several doses of Pape's Diuretic. You will distinctly feel that your kidneys and urinary organs are being cleaned, healed and vitalized, and all the miserable symptoms, such as backache, headache, nervousness, rheumatism and darting pains, inflamed or. swollen eyelids, irritability, sleeplessness, or suppressed, painful or frequent urination (especially at night) and other distress, leaving after taking the first few doses. The moment you suspect any kidney or urinary disorder, or rheumatism, begin taking this harmless prepara

tion as directed, with the knowledge that there is no other medicine, at any price, made anywhere else in the world which will effect so thorough and prompt a cure as a fifty-cent treatment of Pape's Diuretic, which any druggist can supply. Your physician, pharmacist, banker or any mercantile agency will tell you that Pape, Thompson & Pape, of Cincinnati, is a large and responsible medicine concern, thoroughly worthy of your confidence. Don't be miserable or worried another moment with a lame back or clogged, inactive kidneys or bladder misery. All this goes after you start taking Pape's Diuretic, and in a few days you feel and know that your kidneys, liver and urinary system are healthy, clean and normal, and all danger passed. Accept only Pape's Diuretic fiftycent treatment from any drug storeanywhere in the world.

He Explains Government 's Act Why Uncle Sam's 3,000,000 Acres of Petroleum Land Were Withdrawn From Entry Hayes Interviewed.

Washington, Dec. 1. In connection with the recent action of the administration in withdrawing from entry over 3,000,000 acres of public petroleum lands in California, Wyoming, Utah and Oregon, the following statement is given out by Dr. C. W. Hayes, chief geologist of the United States geogical survey, today: "To remedy the present unsatisfactory conditions by which public oil lands have to be entered under a law framed primarily to provide for placer gold mining entries, it is generally admitted by those Interested in the economical development of oil lands that a radical revision of the American mining law is necessary. Anticipating that congress will recognize and meet this evident need, the secretary of the Interior has withdrawn from all fornix of entry all vacant public lands designated by the geological survey as probably containing oil and gas. This executive action, is, however, only temporary, and is intended to preserve the status quo until congress acts. "When the present placer mining law was enacted probably no one in congress or out had any idea that it would ever be made to cover mine deposits so far removed in every essential characteristic from gold-bearing gravels as are oil and gas. Yet when oil was found on the public lands no other law was on the statue books except the placer law under which title to it could be acquired, and this anomalous and wholly unsatisfactory condition still holds to the great detriment both of the government and of the oil industry. "The fundamental basis of a location under the placer law is discovery, and the courts have held uniformaly that there can be no legal location until there has been a discovery. But in the nature of the case there can be no discovery of oil until a well has been drilled at great expense, since ordinarily there are no surface indications of the oil and the well must be drilled upon purely geological inference. It follows therefore that the driller will be wholly unprotected against rival claimants to the land until he has completed his first well or he will be forced to make a false claim to discovery on which to base his location. "One very common method of evad-

of perpetuating a supply for this certain future need. "The fact is gaining recognition that the natural resources remaining in the possession of the government are the heritage of the whole people, and the idea that they should be economically utilized for the general good rather than exploited for the enrichment of a few individuals is rapidly crystallizing into public opinion. The enactment by Congress of a law providing for the leasing of oil lands will be a logical and much needed action in the Government's management of its great petroleum property."

Rheumatism Comes From Bad Kidneys

Once Your Kidneys Work Properly, Rheumatism, Kidney Disease and Bladder Trouble Disappear. How To Cure Yourself. It is no longer necessary to spend months and months undergoing a complicated treatment for rheumatism, kidney or bladder trouble, or spend a good many dollars in doctors' bills. A new treatment can now be obtained which seems to act more like a marvel than a medicine. This treatment has produced such satisfactory vesults in a short time that it is now guaranteed from first to last. There shauld be no more doubt about the rapid cure of rheumatism, no fears of the fatal termination of treacherous kidney disease or dropsy. Rheumatism means nothing more nor less than that your kidneys do not work properly. Your blood passes through the kidneys hundreds of times a day to be filtered and purified. When the kidneys are weak, the poisons are not taken out of the blood as they should be. This leads to various diseases, such as rheumatism, terrible Bright's disease, diabetes, dropsy and bladder trouble. The new guaranteed treatment is Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills. One day's use of them will prove their remarkable effect. M. T. Ridenour of Lima, Ohio, says: "When I feel bad in my back, I Just take a couple of Derby's Kidney Pills and get Immediate relief." If you have rheumatism anywhere, back pains, cloudy, foul, urine, pains in the bladder, Bright's disease or diabetes, put your whole confidence In Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills, and you will not be disappointed. Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills are sold at all drug stores 60 pills 10 days' treatment 25 cents, or we will send then direct from the laboratory of Derby Medicine Co., Dept. 12, Eaton Kapids, Mich., prepaid if you wish, if you want to try them first, just tell your druggist to give you a tree sample package.

ing the law is to locate oil under Hie guise of a gypsum claim. In many of the California oil land fields the surface soil contains a small amount of gypsum, although rarely in sufficient quantity or purity to be profitably mined, even if favorably located for transportation and market. It afforris a pretext, however, for a location under the placer law, and large numbers of claims have been patented where it is a matter of common knowledge that the real object is to acquire title to the oil. In this way land worth thousands of dollars an acre has been acquired from the government for two dollars and a half an acre, and this without oil development. Moreover it is not generally the man of small means but rather the wealthy corporation that resorts to this subterfuge to secure title. "Although many of the oil fields in the public laud states, and particularly those in California, are in regions wholly devoid of agricultural possibilities, no sooner is a successful well drilled than the entire district is covered by homestead and scrip entries the purpose of which is to secure title to the oil under cover of the agricultural land laws. It is to meet these conditions that a thorough revision of the law is needed. "Any law which will adequately meet the requirements of the case must recognize the fundamental difference between oil and gas and other minerals, namely mobility. Those elusive products can be drawn from a distance under ground across boundary lines, and exclusive title to the

product is acquired only after it

reaches the surface. It follows, therefore, that oil can be disposed of by the government or other owner of the land in which it occurs only as a commodity and not in terms of acres like coal or other minerals occupying fixed locations. This difference is so well recognized that it has determined the leasing system which is practically universal in all the oil fields where the land is in private ownership. The government cannot do better than to adopt the plan which hrs been worked out through long experience, and, where the holdings are sufficiently large, found thoroughly satisfactory, both to the oil operator and to the private land owner. Why should not the government as a land owner deal directly with the producer rather than through the intervention of a middle man to whom title to the land has passed? "Any ideal or practical law must further recognize the fact that the actual discovery involves heavy expenditure and considerable time, and that the prospector must be adequately protected in his investment before as well as after the discovery is made. The area to which he is given a preferred right must therefore be sufficiently large to justify his initial heavy investment and in such compact shape as to protect his discovery from encroachment by drilling on subsequent entries. "A well considered leasing law will give certain incidental advantages of great, importance both to the government and to the oil operator. It will constitute the most effective means for the conservation of the oil and gas resources of the country by enabling the government to regulate developments so as to prevent much of the criminal waste now prevalent. "Under the present system the owner of a twenty acre placer claim is compelled to drill and pump the oil from his land with all possible speed, regardless of transportation facilities or market, for otherwise his competitors on adjoining claims will take a large share of it away from him. In the resulting feverish exploitation, half a dozen or more wells may be drilled when ono would have secured the same amount of oil a serious economic waste to the nation and a heavy tax on the ultimate consumer. Also, unrestricted drilling by careless or ignorant operators may ruin a valuable field by admitting water to the oil sand from a higher or lower waterbearing stratum. Many examples of criminal waste resulting from the unrestricted exploitation of oil fields might be cited. "The government is not only the largest owner of oil lands, but it is likely to be the largest consumer. The six largest battle ships in commission or under construction in the American Navy are equipped for the use of either oil or coal, and the fourteen largest destroyers use oil exclusively. The question of fuel supply for these vessels is certain to become an exceedingly important one in the near future and the law should provide a means
