Women Suffer Agonies from Diseased Kidneys And Most Women Do This Not Knowing the Real Cause of their Condition

These poor, suffering women have been led to believe that their misery of mind and body is entire* ly due to "ills of their sex.” Usually the kidneys and bladder are responsible—or largely so. And in Such cases, the kidneys and bladder are the organs, that need and must have attention. Those torturing, enervating sick headaches, dragging pains in back, groin and limbs, bloating and swelling of the extremities, extreme nervousness or hysteria, listlessness and constant tired, worn-out feeling—are almost certain symptoms of disordered and diseased kidneys, bladder and liver. DeWitt’s Kidney and Bladder Pills have, in thousands of cases, been demonstrated as remarkably beneficial in all such conditions of female organism—affording the most prompt relief and permanent benefit. As an illustration of what these Pills will do, Mrs. P. M. Bray of Columbus, Ga., writes that she was very ill with kidney trouble, ’and that she is now welr-and that these Pills are what cured her. They are very pleasant to take, and can in no case, produce any deleterious effects upon the system —as Syrupy, alcoholic, liquid prep-

THE REAL FRANKLIN.

Small Honor Paid, the Mpjnory of Our. Famous Patriot. F There were, not. wanting sinister influences, subtly and persistently inhibiting the' development of that large, explicit and national recognition of Franklin’s services which a very little thing might have called, into full being and activity even during his lifetime. Had that consummation been realized even for a day, though it had been but the day after his death, the character of his fame would have been fixed differently, one cannot doubt, for the refit of time. For there would then have come fully and simultaneously into the national consciousness a conception of Franklin which —instead of the legend of the Philadelphia printer, almanacmaker and humorist, or instead of the legend of the moral philosopher who taught men how to thrive in business and inculcated the practice of honesty ■»s one of the best tricks of every trade -should have given us the legend of that historical Franklin, the most famous patriot, the wisest statesman, the most successful diplomatist of his age, a man with whose name all Europe—whatever America may have been doing or thinking of, then and since—once rang from side to side, and whose presence in the world filled the mind of his generation with the ideas of enlightenment, magnanimity and freedom. —William MacDonald in the Atlantic.

Women Government Employes.

An oflicial of the government printing office was talking the other evening of the personnel of the women employed in the big printery. He said the civil Service rules went into effect at the office just ten years ago. The result has been to give the office a much better class of women workers than those who were appointel prior to that time. “The women in the folding rooms, the bindery and the press room now,” said the official, “are largely of the educated class. Some of them are former school teachers, stenographers and the like, and 1 will add they are a credit to the government service.” The statement was added that it frequently happens that these workers in the printing office are transferred to important clerical positions in the other departments by reason of the high percentage they make in competitive examinations. —Washington Star.

Makes Secret Drawers and Panels.

“I do many a queer job,” said the handy man. “I made a secret panel for a manufacturer’s office last month. Unbeknownst, from his inner office this manufacturer can now see everything that is done and hear everything that is said by his twenty clerks. Poor fellows,’ they had better be careful. Two of them were fired last week. “A man with a shaved head got me to make a telescope ladder. He was a convict. When they arrested him he had the ladder in a dress suit case. “Rich people like secret drawers in desks apd tables end secret compartmepts in their bedroom floors to hide things in. I have a big run on that kind of work.”—St. Louis Globe-Demo-crat.

Tea Drinking In Ireland.

In a return just issued it is stated that in Ireland over six pounds of tea per head of the population are consumed yearly. The consumption per head has remained practically stationary for the last five years, but increased about one pound per head in the preceding ten years. There is no other European country, with the exception of Holland, where the consumption of tea exceeds one pound per head. It muse be remembered that under the Tory War Budget each of these pounds of tea coat the poor sixpence in taxation.—New York News.

From Acting to Cab Driving.

A Parisian actor who formerly made a good income in his profession is now earning his living as a cab driver. He has taken this step to spite his divorced wife. Wherever he went she put a Hen on his salary. The actor found .aat the only occupation in which his wife was helpless against him was cab driving, because he dfew no wages and had to pay for the hire of the cab. He says he is making a good living and is quite happsr.

A Novel Barometer.

The inhabitants of southern Chile are said to fortell the weather by means of a strange barometer. It consists of the cast-off shell of a crab. The dead shell is white in fair, dry weather; but, indicating the approach of moist atmosphere by the appearance of small red spot's; as the moisture in the air increases it becomes entirely ted and remains- so throughout the rainy season.

WHALE TANGLED IN CABLE.

That Why Communication With Alaska. Ceased. A big whale recently played havoc with the cable connecting the Territory of Alaska with. Seattle, and It cost Uncle Sam many dollars to repair the damage. Sent north to discover the cause of a sudden interruption of cable service between Valdez and Sitka, Captain Laflin, of the United States cable ship Burnside has just returned here with an interesting story. The cable ship picked up the cable near Cooks Inlet of Sitka and found enough work to keep the crew busy for several days. A whale feeding on the bottom of the ocean and swhnmlng along with its mouth wide open in order that the meshes of whalebone might catch and hold food collided with the cable. The cable became entangled in the long bunches of whalebone hanging from the upper jaw of the whale and th< great fish in its struggle to spit out the cable turned over and over, dived and leaped until the inch and five-, eighths of wire rope was twisted and kinked in a tangle worse than the famous Gordian knot of old. Unable to free itself the whale drowned, and the crew of the Burnside never had a worse job of lifting a cable than when they tried to haul on board the wire some miles off Cooks Inlet. When the twisted and knotted cable was finally brought on deck the partly decayed carcass of the whale was still attached to it. The cable was severed and again connected and put into service while the ship’s crew cleaned up the kinked section of cable. It is believed that more than 200 feet of cable was .twisted into a knot. The cable did not part because of its tensile strength of 20,000 pounds. Some years ago the cable was found twisted and knotted in a like manner and now Captain Laflin thinks he can explain the reason for it. The kinked cable then caused a great deal of discussion among sailors and gave rise to the theory that it had been twisted by jagged rocks turned over and over by a submarine earthquake.—'New York Sun.

Four Pneumatic Cows.

The town of O’Brien has four pneumatic cows, thanks to Freddie Kupp aged 17 years, who has seen fit to introduce this innovation to the barnyard world. Some little time ago Freddie became displeased at Seth Morris an O'Brien ranchman, and decided that Seth shculd be made to feel the weight of Freddie’s displeasure. Some boys might have heaved rocks through Seth’s windows, or “swiped” his fruit and vegetables, or put some of his live stock out of commission. This was not Freddie’s way, however. He hid his displeasure and waited for a chance to “get back at Mr. Morris.” A couple of days ago it came to Frederick’s attention that Mr. Morris wanted to buy five nice milch cows. Freddie, sitting on a fence and watching spring creep over the White River Valley, thought and thought. He knew of four cows for sale cheap, but they were not milch cows, and Seth Morris wanted milch cows. Then the great idea came. Frederick went to the farmer own Ing the four nonmilch cows and arranged for their purchase at S3O jer cow. Then he secured an ancient bicycle pump. “I’ll make them look like milch cows, for S4O apiece,’’ Freddie confidentially informed Mr. Morris. “But I must deliver the cows and get my money at. once. I need it.” The cows looked mighty good to Mr. Morris. They looked as if they could give gallons and gallons of milk He bought the cows, paid for them. The fiist time he tried to milk them, however, the net result was several cubic feet of compressed air. Expert testimony secured by Mr Morris is to the effect that he cannot prosecute Frederick Kupp, although at the very first milking ever the air supply has been exhausted from O’Brien’s first pneumatic cows.—Seattle Times.

Sunflower Philosophy.

' People have to learn to loaf, the same as they have to learn to work. Plenty of people can stand adversity, but only a few can stand prosperity. There is not much falling In love lately; and those that are in are fallIng out. Every man can prove that other people impose on him more than he Imposes on others. When you see a woman on the streets she is going to one of two places: to \ory goods store or to the dentist. A man was to be executed at Coolidge, and he said to the hangman: ‘1 am not fit to be hanged; keep me until I become converted.” In view of the fact that nearly evdry farm is occupied there seems to be too much worry because the boys won’t stay on the farm. Enough of them do It is our Idea that wives worry too much; very few hiA'ands are stolen and those that are seem hardly worth worry. The elderly women, instead of trying to coax young women to wear less false hair, seem to be adopting the puff fad themselves. ' There Isn’t anything more encouraging than to see aa old married couple walking along and really enjoying each other’s society.—Atchieon (K*n-j Globe.

Elderly People Helped Free The last years of life are the sweetest, and, yet the most difficult to prolong. It is then that the’ greatest care is exercised in maintaining bodily, health. But the chief care should always be with, regard to the food you eat and whether you are digesting it properly. You should not allow yourself to become constipated. No doubt you have tried salts and cathartic pills, purgative tablets, etc., and have come to the conclusion that they are violent in action and do but temporary good. Listen, then, to the voice of experience with regard to a wonderful and mild laxative. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It is not new, only we are trying to find new friends for it. A. A. Felts, of Johnston City, HL, suffered from stomach trouble for six years and found his cure in Dr. Caldwell-a Syrup Pepsin. His wife uses it too with success. We could name hundreds of others. Some heard of it first through neighbors or friends; others through the doctor’s offer to send any sufferer from a stomach, liver or bowel complaint a free sample bottle for trial, without charge. If you will send your name and address he will send you a trial bottle direct to your home. If it proves itself as ha claims then continue the treatment by buying a 50-cent or $1 bottle of your druggist, as all of them sell it. Old people, like children, should look for purity, and it is well to mention that the purity of this remedy is vouched for with the U. S. government. Also, though a free bottle is sent to prove its merits, results are always guaranteed from the regular bottles bought of druggists, who will refund your money if It does hot satisfy you. Send at least for the free test bottle today. £lf there is anything about your ailment that you don’t understand, or If you want any medical advice, write to the doctor, and he will answer you fully. There la no charge for this service.. The address is Dr. W. BCaldwell, SOO Caldwell bldg., Monticello, HL

What Is Legal Tender?

“I venture to say that not one banker in a hundred and not a single member of the Senate or House can te'l you accurately what parts ot the United States currency are legal tender and what are not legal tender,” was the surprising statement of a treasury official. “Learned senators, senators who are now devising a new currency cystem would have to reso-t to the laws in order to find out just exactly what is meant by this term. “A great many people know that the definition of legal tender is money of a character which by law a debtor may require his creditor to receive in payment in the absence of a special agreement. But when it comes to stating just what money is legal tender you will find the banker all at sea. “Gold certificates are not a legal tender, but are receivable for customs, taxes and all public debts. Silver certificates are not a legal tender. Neither are national bank notes. They are receivable, however, in payment of taxes, excises, public lands and all other dues to the United States, except duties on imports. Trade dollars and fractional currency are not legal tender.' Fractional currency is receivable for postage and revenue stamps, and also in payment of any dues to the United States less than $5, except duties on imports. Foreign gold and silver coins are not legal tender. “The following are legal tender, in all that the term means: Gold coins of the United States, standard silver dollars, subsidiary silver coins, minor coins ot copper, bronze or copper-nickel, up to 25 cents; United States notes or greenbacks, demand treasury notes, treasury notes of 1890. Columbian halfdollars and Columbian quarters. Subsidiary silver coin, including Columbian half-dollars and quarters, are legal tender up to $lO." —Washington Letter.

Soldier Balks Death Plot It seemed to J. A.

My weight rta down to 130 pounds. Then I began to use Dr. King’s New Discovery, which restored my health completely.
