WORST KIND OF CASE.
We VIII Tell You if You VIII
Believe It.
The Experience of Well Known
Persons Ought Surely Be
Convincing.

We ask you to read the following
statement from a well known citizen
because she suffered from one OF the
worst kind of cases of backache and
kidney disorders, and was cured by
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids. If you are in
the least way troubled with a weak
back or disordered kidneys use Nor
rows Kid-ne-oids. they cure every
time.
Mrs. G. w. Sweezey, 729 Van Buren
street Topeka, Kansas, says: I have
suffered from kidney troubles for four
or five years, also muscular rheuma-
tism, extreme nervousness. dizziness,
sick headache and indigestion Learn
ing of G1OrrOw's Kid-ne-Oids 1 cOncIud-
ed to give them a trial I did so and
was greatly relieved. I continued to
use them and am today cured OF my
former complaints I also used Nor
rows Liverlax and found it to be an
excellent remedy also"
AIorrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills,
but Yellow Tablets and sell at fifty
cents a box. Morrow's Liverlax are
small red granuIes and sell at twenty
five cents a box. Both can be pur-

THE AXLE LIGHT.
Declared Impractical by New York
Theorist-

In the face of the successful opera
ton of axle light on Santa Fe trains
every night George H Benjamin. OF
New York, declares the prOpos1tlon
fmpra acticaL Mr.. Benjamin in an article
in the New York Mail and Express
says:
1T is stated by a writer in your pa
per that TO drive the dynamo does NOT
lessen the speed of the train or call
for any additional power from the en-
gine' which is equivalent to saying
that no horse power is required to Iur-
nish the current. In point OF 1act, the
cost of driving the dynamo from the
axle is greater than where the power
is derived from a separate steam en-
gfne. and for the simple reason that the
cost of generating power in locomo-
tive engine is about twice that IN a
stationary engine. Again. that such
a system may be maintained in rum
ming order by "a five minutes inspec-
ton of the battery every six weeks
meets every requirement. Every cleo
trician who has had any experience
with dynamo electric machines and
storage batteries knows that they re-
quire constant attention to maintain
them even in fair working order
Without discussing further the mis-
leading statements of the article. I
would give as my opinion. after twen-
ty years experience in this country
and Europe, that such system is abso-
lutely impracticable."
