HOW To FIND OUT.

Fill q bottle or common glass with
urine and let IL s.and "a houEs; a sedi
ment or settling indicates IA diseased
condition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is positive evidence OF
kidney trouble. Too frequent desire 70
urinate or pain in the back, is also con
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHIT TO DO
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmers
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fultills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. IL
cOrrects inability To hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad effect
following use of liquor, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urinate.
The mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures OF the most distressing cases. If
you need medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists; price fifty
cents and one dollar. For a sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free by
mail, mention the NORTHERNER and

EVOLUTION OF MONEY.

Unwarranted Government Interference
Prevents Easy Transition From One Sub
stance to Another.
Money is simply commodity that is
generally recognized as universal
equivalent, and its degree Of goodness
or efficiency consists in the unanimity of
the recognition of the fitness of the COM
modify used as money TO perform the
essential functions of money. Many
commodities have been used as money,
and they have remained in use as long
as they met the essential requirements
of money among the people where used,
or until some other commodity appear
ed the fitness of which commended it
self to the intelligence as being superior
to the commodity then being used
As people have advanced in discrim-
mating intelligence they have discard
ed inferior commodities and adopted in
place thereof something that was supe-
rior. These changes kept taking place
until finally gold and silver became the
commodities that were recognized by
the people of most countries as being
the best for use as money. Sociological
transition is constant. Change is the
natural order of things, and changes
come about naturally and are therefore
effected easily, if the natural process is
allowed to go ON undisturbed. Trou-
blous friction ensues only when there is
obstructive governmental interference
to delay or defeat the natural order of
things.
In our own day the stagecoach has
been supplanted by the steam railroad,
and stagecoaches have practically be-
come thing of the past. The tallow
dip was succeeded by lamps filled with
burning fluid or oil, and lamps by illu-
minatins gas, and gas by electricity.
These and many other changes were ac-
complished with no serious disturbance
whatever, and so it would be with COM
modities used as money in the absence
of governmental obstruction. There
would be no threatening money ques-
tion in this country today, endangering
the continuity and perpetuity of all
business activity, if the United States
was not engaged in the banking bust
ness.
Among civilized people the days Of
usefulness of silver as money, except in
subsidiary forms, are numbered, and
silver is going out of use as surely as
have the stagecoach and the tallow dip,
and for exactly the same reason-civi-
lization has outgrown the conditions
which necessitated it's use. No money
has ever come into use at the behest of
government or because of statutory en-
actments, but solely because of recog-
nized ability to perform the functions
of money. ey.-Austin w. Wright in Sound

of his wife's experience In a manner that

says. " l am sorry my wife is not at home

how she has suffered during past years.
For twenty years she has been afflicted

The latest news from the feverstrickcn dis
tricts OF Southern Mississippi and Louisiana is,
on the whole of an encouraging and reaSsur-
Inc nature The official report Of DR.. john
Guiteras. the yellow fever expert sent by the
Marine Hospital Service authorities to pass upon
the perpleXng cases reported at Ocean Springs,
the original seat Of the epidemic, clearly eStab-
fishes The comparative mildness of the present
outbreak For after n careful examination of
the suspects now quarantined al the former
Gulf Coast watering place. DR.. Guieras has
telegraphed TO Surgeon-General Wyman at
Washington the gratifying conclusion that there
have been only few cases of yellow fever lin
the midst Of a widespread epidemic Of dengue"
OF the forty patients now under isolated treat
meut only two have been found by the Marine
Hospital Service expert To be suffering from
oenuine yellow fever. while Of the hundreds OF
nersons attacked by the mysterious disease
which has ragged al Ocean Springs since early
IN August less than a dozen can be discovered
who actually persisted from its effects. Dr.
Guiteras's encouraging report is partly offset
nv the intelligence that undoubted cases Of Vel
low Jack have developed in Biloxi. Perkinten
and Scranton. Miss, and that other gravely
suspicious cases Of fever have been brought TO
light in New Orleans. But on The whole. the
situation seems to have changed for the better
rather than for the worse. and there IS ample
ground for thinking. the infection having so far
gained so little Roadway, that It's isolation and
suppression will be only n matter OF cool med
ical judgment and practical administrative
skill.
The people Of the Gulf States have faced the
peril of new yellow fever epidemic with a
cheerful courage born Apply Of reasoned
confidence in improvsi al sanitary condl-
