When Cheap Goods Are Dear.

II free wool wi secure cheaper cloth
ing to the people. by the same process
Of reasoning cloth duty free and untax-
ed ready made clothing will diminish
the price still farther and give to the
consumer the very contamination OF
low prices and cheap wearing apparel.
IL every consideration but the mere
cheapness of the fabric be discarded,
then no reason can be found why, with
free wool, there should not come free
cloth and free clothing. Things, how
ever, are sometimes the dearest when
nominally they are the cheapest. The
selling price of al article is not the on
~ measure. The ability to buy, the coin
with which to purchase. is an impor-
tant and essential element and must not
be dismissed from our consideration. IL
a man is without means and without
employment and there is none of the
latter TO be had, everything is dear to
him. The price is of the smallest conse-
quence, however cheap, if it is beyond
his reach. Hon. William Mckinley.

For a Healthy Existence.-Thafs
Why the Kidneys SO often Fail.

Nature has provided a certain amount
of work for every organ of the human
body; overtax them and disease eventu-
ally follows. There Is not one por..
ton of our organism that Is so Overworked
as the kidneys; on them Is placed the I'm.
portant function of flltering the blood OF
the impurities which naturally form in the
regular action of life and digestion. The
kidneys are consequently termed the sew
erage of the system; clog up this sewer,
and the blood becomes tainted with poison
Gus uric acid, which brings on disease
in many forms. The back Is the first to
show this stoppage. From there comes
the warning note; it should be needed,
and the kidneys receive prompt attention.
Doan's Kidney Pills will right the action
of the kidneys quickly, relieve the back OF
pains and aches, and cure all troubles OF
kidneys and bladder. Read the following !;

face. The captive lying prone, but not
wearing visible bonds of captivity, seems
to be studying the scene. Her lace resting on
one hand is turned partly aside to view her

naughty and lofty disdain. She evidently
comprehends her destiny, but reflects
meanwhile that she is young woman of
some Importance in the estimation of the
Sultan and his subjects.
