The Kidney Complexion.

The pale sallow, Sunken-cheeked, dis
tresSed-looking people you so often meet
are afflicted with Kidney Complexion. "
Their kidneys are turning TO a parsnip
color. SO is their complexion.
They may also have Indigestion, or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous ex-
haustion and sometimes the heart acts
badly
The cause is weak. unhealty kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble
is until it is almost too late, because the
first symptoms are so like mild sickness
that they do not think they need medi-
cine or a doctor until they find them
selves sick in bed.
DR.. Kilmers Swamp-Root will build
up and strengthen their weak and dis
eased kidneys, purify their diseased,
kidney-poisoned blood, clear their COM
plexion and soon they will enjoy better
health.
You can get the regular sizes at the
drug store. at fifty cents and one dollar,
or you may first prove for yourself the
wonderful virtues of this great discov-
cry, Swamp-Root, by sending your ad-
dress to Dr. Kllmer & Co., Binghamton,
y. Y, for sample bottle and book
that tells all about it, both sent to you
absolutely free by mail When writing
kindly mention that you read this liber
al offer in the Shepherdstown Register.

Postage to be Reduced to One Cent.

The enormous increase in the number

WHITEWASHED.

The report of the military court ap-
pointed to investigate the charges
made by Major-General Miles, COM
handing the army, that the beef sup
piled to the army during the war
with Spain was unfit for the use of
the troops, was made public the first
of the week. Just as was expected,
because it was appointed with this
end in view, the court whltewashes
Secretary Alger and the War Depart
ment. In brief, the court finds that
General Miles's allegations that the
refrigerated beet was treated with
chemicals were not established that
his allegations concerning the canned
fresh or canned roast beef were sus-
tanned as to its un.uitability for food
as used on the transports and as
long-continued field ration. General
Miles is censured for terror IN fall
ing to promptly notify the Secretary
of War when he first formed the opln-
ion that the food was unfit. General
Eagan, formerly commissary-g general,
is censured for too extensive purchases
of the canned beef as an untrled ra-
ton. Colonel Maus, of General Miless
staff, is also censured. The court
finds that the packers were not at
fault; that the meats supplied to the
army were of the same quality as
those supplied to the trade generally,
and recommends that no further pro-
ceedings be taken in the premises.
There is little use in discussing the
"embalmed beef any further. The
people of the country are, we feel sure,
quite well satisfied that there was the
most glazing Incompetence on the part
of the officers Of the War Department
and the rankest fraud by the meat
contractors. Thousands Of officers and
privates, from General Miles and Col.
Roosevelt down, have told Of the rot
ten food that was furnished the SOL
diers. The sickness of whole regl-
ments who forced the stuff into their
rebellious stomachs is irrefutable evil
dence of its character. For political
reasons the President DEGREES that the
truth must be smothered, and to con-
ceal the inefficiency of his own de-
partment Secretary Alger ignores the
the facts and tries to make official
false state of affairs.
Let the matter drop. The time
will soon come when the people can
express themselves concerning this
humbug investigation.

Miss Bessie Kerns, a young lady of
Rock Enon Springs, Va, a daughter
of Benjamin F. Kerns, on last Wed,
nesday disappeared from home and
has not since been seen. Searching
parties are out both day and night,
hoping to find some trace of the miss
ing young woman. Recently 1t was
noticed that her mind was slightly un-
balanced, and her relatives held con-
sultation as to the best means OF car
ing for her. 1t is thought that she
overheard the conversation, and, con,
Guiding that she was to be incarcerated
in lunatic asylum, wandered away.
A later telegram says that Monday
night the young woman was found at a
farmhouse six miles south Of Stras-
burg, to which she had wandered. She
was greatly exhausted, and her mental
condition is such that she Will have to

There's a novel suit on trial at
Charleston between Postmaster U. a.
Petty and William Oils, we'll known
politician. Both Petty and DIS were
candidates for postmaster. Congress
man Dorr claimed that he was under
obligations to Dis and was going to
recommend him. By agreeing to pay
Dis $4,000 Petty bought him of, the
understanding being that Dorr would
get Petty disappointment. But DOrr
went back on Petty, and it was only at
terra hard fight that he succeeded IN get
ting the office. In the meantime ne
had given his notes for s., 900 to Dis,
but when Dorr went back on the
agreement he refused to pay them
The suit against him for their colIec-
ton resulted. Petty furnishes an
itemized account of his expenses, which
consisted of railroad fares for trlps to
and from Washington, hotel bills, Gig
airs and incidentals.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When the tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored TO its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh. which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
