Do it Yourself.

You can tell just as well as a physician
whether your kidneys are diseased or
healthy. The way to do is to take bot
tie or glass tumbler, and fill it with urine.
If there is a sediment-a powder-likc
substance-at the bottom after standing
a day and night, there is something
wrong with the kidneys. Another sure
sign of disease is desire to urinatc
often, and still another sign is pain in the
back. If urine stains linen, there is no
doubt that the kidneys are affected.
Any and all diseases of the kidneys, liv-
err, bladder and of the urinary passages
and constipation of the bowels are cured
by Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite REM
edy. There is no question about its being
the best and surest medicine in the
world for such troubles. 1t quickly re-
lieves and cures inability to hold urine,
and people, young or old, who take it are
not compelled to get up a number of
times during the night. For putting an
end to that scalding pain experienced in
passing urine, nothing is so good as DR..
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. 1t
corrects the bad effects Of whiskey and
beer; is pleasant to the taste, and does
not seem to be medicine 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 Favorite Remedy should
be taken without further delay or the dis
ease may prove fatal. 1t Is sold for one
dollar bottle at all drug stores. 1t is
well worth many times the price.

A Castilian Expert Writes of UnIted

1t seems almost incredible that the
spaniards should ever have considered
Cervera's feet superior to anything we
could send against it, yet such seems
to be the case. II they believed the
comparisons of the two navies made
by their newspapers they are logically
correct in their conclusion.
These articles, says the Chicago
Chronicle, written by Spanish naval
experts, appeal strongly to a credulous
people and represent our warships rs
absolutely valueless, while their own
are simply marvels. A. de Canta, the
most popular naval writer in Spain,
makes a remarkable comparison in La
Illustration Nacional OF Madrid that is
quite sufficient to inspire his country.
men with confidence.
He admits that the United States has
the larger feet, but shows that It is
practically valueless. 1T is manned
by the dregs of an almost worthless
Notwithstanding and released
convicts. For the most part these are
foreigners without the slightest pa
triotism. The crews, being animated
by motives Of Stupidity alone, are des-
titute Of that pride and enthusiasm
that control Spaniards." For these
reasons, Mr.. Canta concludes: 1.-The
result is, therefore, that If our navy
Is inferior to the American navy in
quantity It is greatly superior in quail
ty, since our sailors, in addition to
their transcendent bravery, which is
universally acknowledged, possess dis
cipline, enthusiasm and confidence
which the Yankees are far from hav-
Ing"
Having demonstrated the utter
worthless character Of the sailors who
man our ships, the rival Of Weyler and
Munchausen in the art of lying goes
on to compare the ships Of the two
navies, describing that Of Spain as
made up of ships faultless in construc-
ton, armored and armed to suit the
queen regents taste, marvels of speed
yeritable things of beauty.
Words almost fail him when he
makes a sanguinary attack upon oul
ships. He declares that the battle
ships Indiana, Oregon and Massa'
chusetts, which he calls CRUISERS Of
the first class" cannot go to sea with
anything like full coal bunkers. II
they should the waves would wash
over them" They are only suitable
for coast guards. The recent sailing
record of the Oregon somewhat dis
credits this criticism.
He says the battleships California
and Pennsylvania are under construc
ton, which will be news to Americans
He declares the Texas to be woefullJ
deficient. "Her machinery is bad--be
FOND repairing-her torpedoboat tubes
are useless. She is bad lot"
The only American ship OF which
he speaks kindly is the Brooklyn. HI
says she is fast and "can, therefore, re
fuse to fight at all, point which thu
Spaniards In the Caribbean appear t
appreciate.
