HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common water glass
with urine and let it stand twonty-fOur
hours; a sediment or settling indicates a
diseased condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed that DR.. Gilmer's Swamp
Root, the great liver remedy fulfills ev-
cry wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder ana every part of
the urinary passages. 1t corrects inabil-
ity to hold urine and scalding pain in
passing it, or bad effects following the
use of liquor, wine or beer, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity 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 distress
ing cases. If you need a medicine you
should have the best. Sold By drug
gists; price fifty cents and one dollar per
bottle. For sample bottle and pam
phlet, both sent free by mail, mention
THE DAWSON News and send your post

COMMENTS ON THE TARIFF.

In the storm of cn :icism which has
assailed the Dingley tariff till the Balti-
more Sun rises to give that measure
credit for all the good things in it: I'm
der the new law the people of the Unit
ed States can buy their concou, their
vocoa, their balm of gil ad, their beaux-
ite, their manufactured dried blood,
the family coculus indicus, their divi-
divi, munjeet and zaffer all free of taxa
tion. There is no duty upon any of
these household articles so necessary in
the family life Of the poor. The ex.
emption of these things should and
doubtless will be, duly appreciated by
the people.

for less money than foreign salt can be

is on the free list. The Dingley bill,
however, cracks duty of II cents per
100 pounds on salt. Putting these things
together in his mind it will puzzle The

understand how Mr.. Dingley can make

a great parade of the fact that cranky
old man in Warren county has been
caught defrauding the state and cOun
ty out of taxes which he owed. The
mserIy old sinner was supposed to be
poor, but he had $4,000 in cash hid
away. which was stolen. He notified
the officers of the law that he had been
robbed and they recovered the money,
but seized $500 Of it on account Of tax
es for several years. The old man was
forced to pay what he owed the state
and county. But why such fuss over
his case when there are so many in
stances of tax lodging in Georgia that
are more outrageous? Vhis old man
held back only $4,000 from the tax re-
ceiver, while there are men in Georgia
who conceal from taxation every year
many times as much property as this
old fellow is worth. Yet, he is hauled
up and paraded before the public as
bad and unpatriotic citizen and made
disgorge while thousands Of others
who are men of position and influence
in Their communities give in their prop
erty below its value year after year
and nothing is said about it. 1t is not
hard to decide which class of these tax
dodgers deserves the most censure.

on the digest. This will require
good deal of extra time and labor on
the part Of the receiver, but it is an
important matter and he should be
given all encouragement and assistance
possible by those who return land.

That it was the function of the gov

supply of money was never supposed by
anyone until it had undertaken to do
that as measure of war fnanciering.
If the government coins the bullion
brought to its mints and regulates, not
the volume of, but the conditions under
which, bank currency may be issued, it
discharges its duties in full, and the
business world will, as it invariably
has, provide the currency and regulate
the volume in accordance with the
varying needs of trade.-Iron Age.
