DO 1T YOURSELF

You can tell just as well as a physician
whether your kidneys are diseased or healthy,
The way to do is to take bottle or glass tum-
bier, and Gll it with urine. If there is II
sedimeut--a pOwder-like substance-at the
bottom after standing day and night, there
is something wrong with the kidneys. An
other sure sign of disease is a desire to urinate
often, and still another sign is pain in the
back. II urine stains linen, there is no doubt
that the kidneys are affected
Any and all diseases of the kidneys, liver,
bladder and of the urinary passages and con-
stipation of the bowels are cured by DR..
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. There
is no question about its being the best and
surest medicine in the world for such troubles.
It quickly relieves and cures inability to hold
urine, and people, young or old, who take it
are not compelled to get up number of
times during the night. For putting an end
to that scalding pain experienced in passing
urine, nothing is SO good as DIR. David Ken
neds Favorte Remedy. 1t corrects the bad
effects of whiskey and beer; is pleasant 10
tine taste and does not seem to be mediciSc
at all. Diseases of the kidneys and bladder
often require the use of instruments TO push
back the sandy matter so the urine can be
voided. In such cases FayOrite Remedy
should be taken without further delay or the
disease may prove fatal 1t is sold for one
dollar bottle at all drug stores. 1t is well
worth many times its price

FALL business has opened. Not
with rush but with satisfactory
improvement. Money, though not as
easy as most people desire, is freer
than it has been and bids fair to show
still further Improvement. The next
three months should witness con
stant improvement of affairs. The
merchants who go after business
early may expect to reap an early
harvest. Those who continue in the
active effort for more or better bust
ness, will be rewarded ty n full meas
ure of returns. If the business comes
to IA merchant, naturally he is to be
congratulated, but if he can, by judi
cious advertising, keep it coming, he
is foolish if he does not make the eff
'ort. The leading merchants of Shen-
doah use the HERALD columns, be
'se the investment is profitable.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Europe Must AnNlously Consider Our
Demands For Money.

europe Must AHNtOUSlN Consider our
Demands For Money.
New York, Sept PAR. G. Dun &
Co. $ review of trade says: Europe
will have to consider possible Amer
lean demands for money much more
anxiously in the future. Doubtless
there has been for many years a feel
ing that the new continent could be
put of with promises. But the control
of this country over money markets in
the old world is coming to be that of a
master. Our banks lend over there
heavily when it is the most convenient
market for them, but they draw on
Europe whenever they want money,
and no longer have occasion to limit
their drafts.
This country is not drawing on
Europe as largely to pay for bread
stuffs as IL did a year ago, and yet
wheat exports for the week, flour in
cluded have been 1868 204 bushels
from Atlantic ports, against 3,677 S6S
last year, and 5i3, Az from Pacific ports,
against 1,094,S93 last year, making for
eight weeks lO,2O3,941 from both coasts,
flour included, against 15,5G9,120 last
year. Prices have risen about four
cents for the week.
The reports from different cities dis
close wonderful activity at the chief
centers of western trade, the dis
patches from Chicago, st. Paul and St.
Louis being especially significant.
Even In eastern markets II is COM
monty said that no larger trade has
ever been known, unless in 1892, but
the western cities are running things
much after their own taste this year,
having greater advantages than ever
before in heavy bank balances.
Bradstreets review says; Favorable
trade developments manifest them
selves chiefly along the lines previously
noted, The importance Of large eX-
port demand to the country's domestic
| interests is illustrated by the improved
! tone and prices OF wheat and ilour

publishes a sensational story to the
effect that Germany is planning to send
numerous trading vessels to the Phil
ippine Islands and will arm 100000
Filipinos, besides furnishing Krupp
guns and artillery for field use. The
islanders, The Post alleges, will be
thoroughly drilled by German officers,

Post German agents have made a
report to their government that it will
be impossible for the United States to
land more than 10000 men in the Phil

make his coup. Americas only hope
of avoiding trouble with Aguinaldo is

In n recent decision of Judge Clay
ton he said that the owner of real
estate also owns the sidewalks in
front of his property, subject to right
of pedestrians to use them for travel
ing, but outside of this he owns them
as much as any other part of his
property, and they cannot be used
for any other purposes without con
sent. Should the owner allow them to
become delapidated so that they may
cause any one to fall and suffer an in
