WHAT 0 OUR
KIDNEYS?
SOME FACTS ABOUT THEIR PAINS
ND DISEASES.
The symptoms OF Sick kidneys and
the Diseases That Sick Kidney
VIII Cause. A Sure Cure
for the Kidneys an
ar These Diseases,

Thcre are a great many people who
don't know that the kidneys are simply
filters.
All the blood made by the food we eat
passes through our kidneys.
The kidneys separate what is bad from
what is GOOD, what Is unhealthy nom
what is healthy, throw out the tad and
let the good pass on To nourlsh our BODY.
And this is going on every minute OF
our lives.
some folk overwork their kidneys.
they have TO suffer the consequences.
But the consequences would not be so
bad II they would take DR.. Hobbs Spa
ragus Kinney Pills. The kidneys get
overwolked from worry, hard work OF
the bocy or mind, excuses, oyereating,
etc.
Worry is probably the most common
OF the'e causes.
Ovcrwork OF the kidneys makes them
sles, AND they make US sick.
when the kidneys are sick the blood
suffers. Ii gets poor, thin, unhealthy,
poisonous.
When our kidneys are sick we may
have Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Nephri-
us and other dangerous kidney trou bles.
Or we may have Rheumatism, Gout,
Neuralgia, General Muscular Weakness,
etc., or Anaemia, Pale and Sallow com
pltxion, Chiorosis or Green Sickness, Dir
sih'or. ttCs VI Shln DlHtu1ts, Iluipior,
Blotches, Eruptions, etc.
1t may seem wonderful that one medi-
cine should be able to cure all these
diseases, but when we remember that
they are all caused by impure blood, and
that the impure blood is caused by the
kldneys, II becomes a question OF simple
ommon sense.
The kidneys make pure blood.
Pure blood means health.

dent, is prepared exclusively by the

We mentioned seven distinct ella sses OF
fellow -citizens, In our recent preliminary
review, that were included in the So
called Committee Of Fifty and 1t now
appears, A. we then thought likely, that
class 6 and class z far outnumber all the
other classes put together. Class 6 is
"Democrats'' and class 2 was styled fel.
low-citizens "who will decline to serve

good many OF the gentlemen named on
this portentous Committee Of Fifty doa't

draw their names. Some Of these who
were announced with such a flourish OF

they were appointed; others threw the
notices into the waste basket. when we

and speakers, the provision for volunteer
speakers and the rules Of discussion. The
executive committee also secures O full
stenographic report OF the proceedings
and funds to meet any other necessary
expenses.
The executive committee secures sp-
pointment OF a local committee in the
city or town where a public meeting is TO
be held, which provides a suitable place
for the Congress entertainment for the
officers and %appointees Of the Congress.
ANY member of a Baptist congregation
may become an annual member of this
Congress, and thus be entitled to all it's
privileges, and to a copy OF the published
proceedings by the payment OF the BUR
Of two dollars.
The Congress, IN Its purpose, is a sort
OF debating club, on a large scale, a de-
nominations lyceum. II takes no action,
assumes no authority in church matters,
but simply enjoys discussion-proft-
able discussion--o OF topics OF interest to
the church body. Papers written by men
competent to treat OF the matters they
are invited to contribute their thoughts
on, and weeks and months OF prepare
ton, assure to the Congress a considera-
ton commensurate with the Importance
Of the themes selected. We note that
during the sessions that begin today the
timely and varied selection OF themes in
clude papers on ''Monism," the "Books
OF the New Testament In the Light Of
Modern Research" "The Relation OF
the State to semi-Public Corporations
and Their Employees and the "Physio-
logical Basis Of Morality" to which dis
tinguished men from, oil over the land
will contribute something of their
knowledge, experience and investigation.
We anticipate that our Baptist friends
will have a profitable sitting. And we
trust the out-of-towners who are brought
among us for the Congress will enjoy
their brief stay aud will like our beauti-
full city.

THE REDUCTIO AID ABSURDUM.

81 M Nn
The Committee of Fifty, il it ever be.
comes SO many as fifty, will represent the
m I absurdly auto*ratic dictatorship
that was ever evolved in any community
ON the face OF the earth.
Let us reflect, seriously, IL we can,
upon its inception and organization. Let
US begin with the Committee of Fifty-so
far as 1t is a committee of fifty-and re-
trace the steps that led to its ~organiza-
tion.
Q-who selected the Committee OF Fifty
or 30 many OF them as exist?
"A committee OF Five.
Q-who selected the committee OF Five?
"A committee Of Onel
Now, 20 go backward again:
Q-who are the Committee OF Fifty

A-Nobody knows. They don't exist.
One man appointed five men to choose
fifty men. The Five accepted the appoint
mcnt Of the One and appointed Fifty.
But most OF the Fifty have declined to
accept. the appointment OF the Five,
themselves the creation OF the One.
Q-who are the Committee OF Five

In the interesting competition among
the young folk Of the grammar schools
of P~rovide,ce, who wrote letters to the
editor ofthe THE NEWS describing some
OF their vacation experiences, We have
pleasure IN awarding the prizes as fol-
lows:
First Prizc-A $40 gold piece, awarded
to CARRIE STooKARD, Al Waterman street,

November !.
II is no reflection On the boys that the
girls have carried of all these prizes. We
guess, at the average age OF the writers OF
these little stories, the average girl is bet
ter at composition" than the average
boy. II was quite difficult, indeed, to
make the selection at all and the sketo hes
were submitted to great many people for
a reading before the editor cared TO express
his own opinion. In some Of the several
points to be considered in awarding the
prizes many of the letters surpassed the
prize winners. But when all things were
considered, the style OF treatment, the in
terest inherent in the theme, and that in
defnable something that we may term
the spirit Of the thing That seemed to
guide the hand of the young writer's, we
make cur choice without any reservation
In favor of the three young writers
named. And we shouldn't wonder IL ell
their friendly competitors win sgre
with us.
We have been pleased to note how wide
spread las been the interest In this little
contest. Every section OF the city and
most Of the grammar schools has furn-
ished one or more clever writer's to the
competition. The "East side takes the
hrst prize and the "west Side'' the Sec
ond and third prizes, which about makes
a balance so far rs the division OF terri.
tory made by the Providence river is in
BuentiaI. The first prize winner lives In
Ward /, the second prize winner lives in
Ward z, the tn ird prize winner in Ward
8. From Ward Q there were several con
tr%ibutors, one OF the best written letters
coming from BESSIE GwEHDoLENE HAN
RAHAN, who lives on Marlborough avenue,
and another from MAY BELLE MCINTYRE,
whose home is on Potters avenue, and
yet another from CLAuDrNE ROBERTSON
of 1ol Potters avenue. HARRY CLARKE
OF Doyle Avenue scnool sent us q mighty
interesting letter. SO did EARLE W. FARM
HAM Of Fl Vernon street; CALIsrA C.
GoFF, whose home Is at "a Orms street,
