WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
CURE YOUR KIDNEYS.

There never has been but one re.
liable, one standard, one certain cure
for diseased kidneys and impure,
blood, and that is Warmers Safe
Cure. This truth is acknowledged
by the best doctors, the most re-
nowned scientific men and the high
est authorities in the world Throuh-
out all Europe, in every part of
America, and even in Australia and
other distant lands, it is admitted TO
be the standard, the only remedy
for men and women whose blood has
become deranged, for men who are
unaccountably debiiitated, and for
women whose lives do not pursue
their normal course. These are adj
mitted truths, which you dobtiess
know, and we trust in reminding
you OF them, we are doing you
favor.

Pets Detested Aboard Ship.

"The officers Ind crews of ocean
going steamships fairly hate to see a
passenger come aboard with pet in
the shape of a bird or beast" said N.
F. Sidney, of Philadelphia, at the Ar
lington this morning. They know
the individual will be forever in the
fidgets about his animated possession,
and from captain to cabin boy a groan
goes up when dog or parrot comes
over the side. Many of the companies
charge heavy fare for pets, and the
French line that runs to Havre de-
mands 80 passage for a dog or mon
key, and 81 for a parrot. If the pet
possesses any striking physical pecu-
liarities the sailors are pretty apt to
andeavor to bring it to grief before
the voyage is fairly begun, for they
are sure that the animal is harbinger
of bad luck. Several years ago was
a passenger on the Arizona, and an
English serio-comic singer aboard had
an ugly cross-eyed pug dog with her.
The second day out big piece OF lift
ing tackle accidentally fell on the dog
and broke its back. The singer was in
Mysteries over her darling's death, but
the other men in the crew dubbed
together and bought months supply
of tobacco for the shrewd companion
who engineeredth the accident. WASH
