THE KIDNEYS.

Kidney troubles are undoubtedly
the cause of more deaths than any 9TH
er disease, for the reason that their
approach is slow and grad ual, and, as
rule, unaccompanied by warning
symptoms. The Kidney relieves the
system of all poisonous material, and
discharge it through the urine. When
they become diseased the poison re-
mains in the blood, gradually increas-
ing in minute quantities until the sys-
tenn can no longer resist its effects.
The heart becomes affected, action
fails and dropsy appears. The nervous
system is poisoned and commissions are
followed by death.
The liver and kidneys act like drains,
to collect and carry away waste and
worn out materials from the body. In
the spring the functions of these organs
are imperfectly performed, and the or
gans become clogged by the waste
matters which are thus retained in the
system. That is why you are so weak,
tired and lanquid, wake tired morn
ings, and lack your usual strength, en-
ergy and vim in the spring. That is
why you have weakness and pain in the
side or back, high-colored urine. with
sediments, headscbe, coated tongue,
bad taste in the mouth, thirst, bilious
ness, constipation, cold feet, poor cir
culation, extreme nervousness and
FRUSTRATED feelings.
1t is sad fact, which many realize,
that the high fees charged by most
physicians are a very serious burden
upon patients, especially when the
cost of having their prescriptions filed
is added. This burden Mr.. Kerr does
away with entirely by charging no fee
whatever. The only charge made und-
er any circumstances is the price
the medicines prepared in his own exs

BEAUTIFUL HAWAII.
Lecture by Captain Campbell In the

"Raaufjful Hawaii" was the subject OF
an interesting lecture delivered last even
ing bv Captain H. E. w. Campbell, OF

the First Presbyterian Church. at Sixth
and Hudson streets, Hobohen; MI.
Campbell has spent many years in study
ing the life and charter of the inhabitants
of the Hawaiian Islands, and his lecture
was listened to with much appreciation
His store of knowledge Is based upon
what he saw and learned while a resident
of the islands, and he Illustrated the lee
ture with one hundred stereoptieon views
az scenes and objects of the republlc OF
fine Pacific. He told how the people hVeo
for twelve centuries in idolatrous worship,
u,bat twenty wears of Christian civiiiza-
tion had done for them, and gave a iull
description of the language, dress, cos
TUNES and condition of the people. Cap.
tain Campbell stated that the reason the
islanders were so closely allied TO the
Irnited States was because this country
had done more for the Advancement OF
their welfare than any other nation. Al
the present time, he said, a large majority
of them were in favor of annexation TO

CHURCH MEMORIAL WINDOWS.

A well known churchman and an intelli-
gent observer as well. who has visited
most of the principal churches in the
county severely criticizes some of the
memorial windows he has seen. and which
are supposed to represent leading Biblical
scenes and characters. This is what he
says
1--WE near a great deal about the whole
some instruction to be derived from re-
ligious art. That is all right if the subject
matter is presented with historical exact
ness and is not made dependent upon the
erratic conception or the egotistical ca
price of the artist. 4 am under the i'm
preston that some of the pictures in the
windows of our churches that are lauded
as specimens of high art, and the modern
idea of Illustrative teaching are really an
Indifferent distortion of the facts under
treatment. Is it not a verify that often
times sreligiouslart, when mfSapplied, does
as much to mislead the observer as 1t
does to enlig.hten him? This is all the
more apparent when we compare the
artists ideal likeness with a correct I'M
d~erstanding of the facts embodied In the
picture. Take for I'M a family sub
ject. extensively used in church decora-
ton. l ailude to the pictures which. rep
resents the Saviour of Mankind in
opalescent splendor with an effulgent halo
around his head. Now. is it not a fact
of sacred record, presented by his
disciples. who were constantly with him,
n -substantiated by facts of history, that
while the Lord was on earth there was
absolutely nothing whatever in his per
sonaI appearance to distinguish Him from
any ordinary Galilean peasant, except it
were the inexpressible purity and sweet
amiability Of his co~untenance. 1T seems
to me that while we are expected to
reverence the Saviour as deified man, we
are not to forget that He was human
in every sense of the word.

compound as beyond all question the one
remedy that can be depended on to re-
new the vitality of-feeble persons.
This settled confidence in Paine's cell
cry compound is not a hearsay belief.
but rests in nearly every case on per-
sonal use or acquaintance with men or
women who nave been restored to use
full health by no othersmeans. The rapid
change for the better in color, flesh and
expression of the face is so unmistak-
able that repair of the wasted tissues
might well be called a renewal of life
The process by which Paine's celery
compound is able TO hold up health in the
rundown body is not hard to understand
when one observes how surely it dis
poses the bowels to act regularly, how it
increases the capacity to take and as
simulate food, and regulates the nerves
all over the body.
The heavy, alarming pain in the back
and loins disappears; the growing pale
ness and loss of flesh is stopped and a
bright, buoyant feeling gradually takes
the place of that unending sense of tire
and depression.
Paine's celery compound is the exact
remedy for that large class of feeble,
thin-blooded. often hysterical persons
whose greatest need is a thorough re-
furnishing of their blood with the red
corpuscles upon which health and happi-
ness in such large measure depend.
The extraordinary virtue of Paine's
celery compound to increase the proper
ton of red corpuscles in the blood is the
source of its great power over allsblood
diseases. rheumatism, neuralgia, Kidney
diseases, back aches, loss Of flesh and
general rundown condition.
