IT IS EASY TO TELL.

People who fail to look after their health
are like the carpenter who neglects to sharpen
his tools. People are not apt to get anxious
about their health soon enough. If you are
"not quite well' or "half sck' have you
ever thought that your kidneys may be the
cause of your sickness?
1t is easy TO tell by setting aside your urine
for twenty four hours a sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition of the
kidneys. When urine stains linen it is
evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent
desire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or dull
ache in the back is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are ont of order
There is satisfaction in knowing that the
great remedy DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, full
fills every wish in relieving weak or diseased
kidneys and all forms of bladder and urinary
troubles. Not only does Swamp Root give
new life and activity to the kidneys-the cause
of trouble, but by treating the kidneys it acts
as tonic for the entire constitution. If you
need medicine take Swamp Root-t cures.
Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one
dollar, or by sending your address and the
name of this paper with three two cent
stamps to cover cost Of postage on the bottle
to DIR. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
you may have a sample bottle of this great
discovery sent to you free by mail

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.


Washington, March 21.-Whether the
report of the naval board of inquiry on
the Maine disaster goes to congress
this week with a special message from
the president calling for congressional
action our relations with Spain and the
proximity of a war, as viewed from the
standpoint or the emergency prepara-
tions now going on to place the coun-
try in state of defense, probably will
be eXhaustiVely debated in the house
in connection with the naval appropri-
alton bill, the consideration of which
will begin tomorrow. The many emeT-
gency Items in the bill, the large in
crease in the enlisted force, the liberal
provision for battleships torpedo boats
and dry docks, will bring the whole
subject of the necessity for the prep
arations directly before the house. An
effort is likely upon the part of some
of the radicals to force from those in
the confidence of the administration
declaration of the policy of the admin
istration regarding Cuba. This they
hope to do by taunting them with some
of the rumors which have been floating
about In the newspapers.
No program has been prepared for
the senate for the present week, and
the course of events is liable to be in
fiuenced largely by developments from
the outside The quarantine bill is the
unfinished business on the senate cal
endar, and If opportunity offers SEN
ator Pettigrew will get up his public
land bill. 1t is expected that the sun
dry civll appropriation bill will be re-
ported Wednesday or Thursday, and
IL is also understood TO be Senator
Davis intention to bring up the Ha-
waiian treaty in order to get vote on
the Bacon amendment.
All these plans are liable to be
changed If the report of the court of
inquiry into the Maine disaster should
be received. The receipt OF this doc
ument would inevitably have the ef-
feet Of springing Cuban debate in
both houses which would sidetraek all
other questions.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Commercial Agency Reports Still Con-
time EnconraglnR.

Commercial Agency Reports Still Con-
tinue Encouraging.
New York, March 19.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says:
Neither peace nor war reports have
changed the onward current of busi-
ness. Orders for more than $780,
900 gold from Europe have blocked the
way toward stringency for rates in
money, and treasury receipts of about
81, ,100, 900 per day have kept in check
any question about the currency, while
exports of products have continued at
a rate considerably increased, and the
demand for products of the great in
dustries show steady expansion. Prompt
action by the senate and house has re-
moved all fear of embarrassment
through conflicting purposes at Wash
ington. The government is making
ready without any waste of time while
frankly assuring everybody that it
looks for a peaceful settlement, and
hopes that it's preparations may prove
unnecessary.
The backbone of the situation Is the
excess of merchandise exports, again
more than Sal, 100000 in February, with
an increase of 81. 600, 900 in miscellaneous
DTOuuclS, @G,lVU,uUV Ill ploNlSlohS, Sf'-
800, 900 in cotton and $7,000,000 in bread
stuffs compared with last year, and
SIS, ,100. 900 in all products.
Bradstreets' review says: The ag-
gregate volume of the country's busi-
ness continues sufficiently large to al
low of favorable comparisons with past
periods alike in this and in proceeding
years. Aside from a quieting in de-
mand at few leading eastern markets,
where uncertainty as to the outcome of
foreign complications is advanced as a
reason for unwillingness to embark in
new business, the situation is one pos
sessing nearly all of the favorable
features noted for some time past. The
best reports as to distribution in lead
ing lines come from the central west
and the northwest.

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. W. e. PAXTON. youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth OF
her little girl:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-lt is with
pleasure that add my testimony TO
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine
After the birth of my ;ttie girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. l had leucorrhua badly, and a
terrible bearingdown pain which
gradually grew worse, until | could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Mem
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
took medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. | was
becoming alarmed over my condition.
when l read your advertisement in
paper. j sent at once for Il bottle of
Lydia f. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle folt so much better that l
send for two more. After using three
bottles | felt as strong and well as any
one
-" think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady l meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity Is a wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written TO Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.

TRANS-MISSISSIPPI EXPOSITION.
ThIrty-nve states Have Already De-
l.Il,l To, DnL.I InIIA

ThIrty-nve states Have Already De-
cided to Participate.
Omaha, Neb., March 21.-Plans for
state buildings at the Trans Mississippi
exposition are coming in rapidly. The
department of publicity has Just re-
ceived the architects drawings for the
Minnesota, Montana, Arkansas, Denver
and Missouri buildings. The plans for
the proposed Iowa building met the
hearty approval of the experts of the
exposition. The Illinois building is
nearly completed, with ~ exception
of an additional wing, made necessary
for the accommodation Of the fine art
exhibit which Illinois will bring to the
exposition. The Wisconsin building is
well under way, and is one of the most
complete state buildings on the
grounds. The Nebraska building is
practically completed. The plans for
the Denver or Colorado buildings have
been accepted and the contract will be
let in a day or two.
Plans for the Georgia pine palace
have been submitted. 1t will be con-
structed wholly of pine donated by the
people of Georgia. 1t Is a handsome
structure. The Minnesota building will
be constructed on similar lines, of un-
hewn Minnesota logs. Plans for the
Oregon building are now being drawn
and will be submitted this week. Mem
bers of commissions of other states
send assurances that plans for their
state building will be forthcoming
within a short time. 1t is highly prob
able that the states of New Jersey and
New York will construct handsome
buildings at the exposition. Thirty
five states have to date decided to par
ticipate in the exposition. In 30 of
these commissions have been appointed
and reports from agents in the field
are to the effect that at least five more
states will be organized within the
next ten days. The winter weather
having been favorable, construction
work is fast advancing, and is progress
sing in the main court, the Bluff tract
and the Midway with great rapidity.
The government building, 500 feet
long, and the pinnacle of whose dome
is nearly 200 feet high, is nearly done,
The management finds it necessary to
build several annexes to accommodate
the extraordinary demand for exhibit
space.

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and
Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans is indi-
gestion or in its chronic form, dyspepsia, and
for the very reason that it is so common
many people neglect taking proper treatment
for what they consider rifling stomach
trouble, when as a matter of fact, indlges-
ton lays the foundation for many incurable
diseases. No person with vigorous, healthy
stomach will fall a victim to consumption.
Many kidney diseases and heart troubles date
their beginning from poor digestion thin,
nervous people are really so because their
stomachs are out Of gear; weary, languid.
faded out women owe their condition to i'm
perfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet is
afflicted with weak digestion it is not sur
prising that nearly every secret patent med
icine on the market claims to be a cure for
dyspepsia, as well as score Of other troubles,
when in fact, as DIR. Werther says, there is
but one genuine dyspepsia cure which is per-
fectly safe and reliable, and moreover, this
remedy is not patent medicine, but il is a
scientific combination of pure pepsin free
from animal matter), vegetable essences, fruit
salts and bismuth. 1t is sold by druggists
under name Of Stuar's Dyspepsia Tablets.
No extravagant claims are made for them, but
for indigestion or any stomach trouble,
Stuars Dyspepsia Tablets are far ahead OF
any remedy yet discovered. They act on the
food eaten, no dieting is necessary, simply
eat all the wholesome food you want and
these tablets will digest it. A cure results,
because all the stomach needs is a rest, which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give by doing the
work of digestion.
Druggists sell these tablets at so cents per
package. Little book on stomach diseases
and testimonials sent free by addressing Stusr,
Co., chemists, Marshall, Mich.

Tcrrlhle End of n Fcnd.

Birmingham, Ala, March 1.-Two
farmers residing near Dolomite found
a blaze in a bursh heap in a narrow
ravine. On close investigation the
charred body of a man was found in
the ashes. From articles strewn about
the place the body was recognized as
that of Matthew Hall, a well known
farmer. Hall had been the principal
actor in a feud of long standing rela-
tive to n property line. Andrew and
Gustavus Lee Dave" O'Neal and
Handy" Singleton are in the county
Jail on the charge of murder. There is
evidence to show that the Lees, who
are white men, employed the other two,
who are negroes, to murder Hall and
burn his body.

The experts find that an average
man requires fifty-nine ounces of food
per diem and that he needs thirty
seven ounces of water for drinking,
and also that he must have for breath

pears that man eats with his food
just about as much water as he drinks,
many of the articles of so-called solid
food being largely composed Of water.
In order to supply the fuel for run
