"Ah-h'm!" tentatively hawked the
pale young clergyman, recently from

funeral of the late Bilious Pete, and was

seemed to show any grief for the de-
parted. Is there-ah-anyone here

KIDNEY TROUBLE CURED.
An Ohio Chemist Discovers Remedy
That Promises to End Terror of
Bright's Disease.

/ Since DIR. Richard Bright first described
/ Brieht's disease in 1927. the medical world
has given more and more attention to the Study
of ths kidneys as a source OF disease and has
demonstrated beyond doubt that they sre the
direct cause Of many Of the Ills Of mankind.
Nineteenth century methods of living are
well calculated to change the functions Of
these delicate organs and few men today can
be absolutely certain that their kidneys are in
perfectly normal condition. a tinge OF pain
in the back IS classed under that broad title OF
cold while the dull ache that creeps
through the bones is blamed on the weather
or allowed TO pass unheeded. This. in reality,
is natures way Of sounding the first warning
that something is going wrong with the inter-
nal mechanism and wise indeed is the man
who heeds it.
Physicians have long been in dispute as to
the best means Of treating disease of the kid
news the best theories beng so often upset by
dire failure that il seemed almost as though
an infailible remedy would never be discov-
cred.
Among the most EARNEST workers in this
field has been John Morrow, an eminent chem
ist Of SPRINGFIELD, Ohio. whose experience of ~
years gave him ample opportunity for study
ing kidney trouble in all its phases. The RI
suit Of his research is new combination OF
remedies which he has prepared in yellow tab
let form. under the name Of kidneoids. While
almost entirely new to the medical world,
Morrow's kidneoids have produced such mar
velons results that there seems little reason
for doubling that he has discovered the RENE
dy 50 long sought for by eminent physicians
and that time-worn ideas as to the most eff
cienf method Of treating the kidneys will soon
be obsolete.

Reed is Obdurate.

Washington, January 49,
Twenty bills making appropria-
tons for public buildings in var
ious cities are being pressed by
the House committee on public
buildings and grounds, but
Speaker Reed is opposed to
granting time for the considera-
ton of the bills because they
carry appropriations aggregat-
ing $40, 900. 600. The Speaker
says that because of the condition
of the Treasury it is unwise, as
it Is unnecessary y, to permit these
bills TO be passed. His commits
tee members are angry and are
bringing all possible pressure
upon Reed to induce him to
change his attitude towards these
bills, but the Speaker will not
bulge from his determination.
Members interested in these
measures may cry "Mr. Speaker"
until they r hoarse. but they
will not receive recognition.
A bill is being pushed in the
committee on public buildings and

FORAKER HOLDS THE KEY.
OhiO's Political Situation Muddled
by the Acceptance of Sherman.

Cincinnati, January 18.-Sher-
mans acceptance of the Secreta-
ryship of State has greatly
chagrined his Ohio followers.
They now concede that Foraker
is master of the Ohio situation.
Whether Bushnell appoints
Sherman's successor in the Sen.
ate or calls a special session of
the Legislature for that purpose
Foraker has the naming of the
man. The Senatorial succession
was not considered by Mckinley
when he selected Sherman and
no doubt has been set on foot
by the herman people.
But both Mckinley and Sher-
man expect Governor Bushnell
to appoint Hanna. The Legisla-
ture is as large "a part of the For,
aker machiue IS Bushnell is. but
in spite Of the situation Hanna is
quoted to-day as follows: Il do
not owe Foraker anything. I am
able to handle my own candida
cy for the Senate. I will run my
own campaign"
Foraker was shown this state ;
ment to-day and said: Il do not
know why Hanna should refer to
me at all. | have not S id any,
thing about him being under OBJ
legations to me. I do not know
who will be appointed Senator by
Governor Bushnell. He has not
entered into any arrangement to
appoint Hanna or any one else.
as far as l know. [ cannot see
any reason why. the Legislature
should be called together to do
what the law empowers the Gov
eraor to do"
Foraker talked freely On the
point that no extra session will
be called, being a declaration
that Hanna will not be permitted
to make a Legislative canvass.
Should Foraker consent to Han
mas appointment by Bushnell it
will be DIT the solicitation of Mes
Kinley- No other agency will
reconcile Foraker to Hanna's
selection. Foraker wants to make
the Ohio Federal appointments.
If Mckinley consents to this,
Hanna will succeed Sherman.
