Do not let that backache run on until

Of some outside people to show you how
much they, too, value Kid-ne-oids. They
praise Kid-ne-oids all over the land. Do
you suppose that people living here for
ten and fifteen years would tell you that
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are beyond doubt
the best remedy to be found for kidney
complaint if it were not so? They have
said this, too, after they have used kid

Why Were Napoleon and fling Richard
Beaten?

Napoleon had nerves of steel at Aus
terlitz and dyspepsia at Waterloo. King
Richard suffered the agonies of insom-
MIA the night before he met Richmond
on the fatal field of Bosworth. Ill
health, low vitality, nervous and phys
ical exhaustion are always the causes
of lack of success in whatever you I'M
dertake. Weak nerves, low vitality,
female complaints, insomnia and de-
spondency prevent women from attain
ing their object in life, in work or so
ciety, or fulfilling their duties as wife,
mother and home-maker. Nervous de-
bility, shattered nerves and physical
exhaustion from overwork, indiscre-
tons and excuses stand as a stumbling
block in the path of success for men.
Absolutely the only hope of attaining
success in life lies in getting back your
health, and you a do so if you adopt
the right means. You have perhaps
tried to get well and failed. Simply
because you have not used the right
means. You have taken drugs and
poisons which have done you no good.
Why do you not use the wonderfully
curative harmless vegetable medicines
of Dr.. Greene, 35 West 18th ST., New
York City, discoverer of that grand re-
s~tOrative, known and used all over the
world, DR.. Greene's Neryura blood and
nerve remedy? This is but one of the
many marvellous cures for different
complaints and conditions of disease
which DR.. Greene has discovered, and
the fact that he is a regular physician,
a skilled and experienced specialist in
the treatment and cure of all forms Of
nervous, chronic and lingering com
plants enables him to perfectly under
stand your disease and prescribe his
health restoring medicines to cure.
Consultation, examination and advice
are given to all absolutely free of
charge. You are welcome to call, or if
not convenient, write him fully and
freely about your case and in perfect
confidence. 1t costs you nothing to
consult him and find out all about your
complaint, and we assure you that you
will be cured if you will adopt this
treatment by harmless vegetable medi-
cines.

poor since last Sunday, was not caused
by a leak in the main pipe at some
point between the reservoir and the
works, according to the report of a
force of men put to work On Wednes-

FRENCH THIRD DECREE. .

They seem to have strange and CHASTITY
ways of extracting confessions from sus-
pected criminals in France-ways that
make the third degree" of New York po-
lice seem kindly by comparison
Recently a monk, Brother Flamidieu
was accused of the murder of a little boy
who had been his pupil. The evidence
against the accused was of the flimsiest
character, but it was so misrepreSented by
the officials tina the populace was made to
believe the monk a monster incarnate. The
result was that a mob gathered outside the
walls of the insecure prison in which he
was confined and howled for his blood
The officials began their system ofextort-
ing a confession by throwing open win
dow of the monks cell so that he should
be obliged to hear.the threats and denun-
Citations of the mob
While the tumut was loudest gendarmes
entered his cell and fastened a bandage
over his eyes. He was then hustled into a
cab and driven slowly through the crowd
which surged about the vehicle and struck
at the prisoner through the open windows.
The monk did not know that he was being
taken to hospital where fresh mental
torture awaited him.
With his eyes still bandaged the pAsoner
was led from the cab through passages
and into a room. Here the bandage was
removed from his eyes. He found himself
in total darkness
Suddenly there was blaze of light, and
the unhappy monk found himself standing
beside bier, upon which lay the body of
the murdered boy, win every CHASTITY
wound gaping. Before he could gather his
wits more horrible thing occurred. The
body slowly turned its head and the eyes
opened to stare fiXedly at the man accused
of crime. The monk did not know that
skilled men had worked for hours to de-
wise an apparatus which, by working upon
the muscles of the body. would produce the
effect he had seen
While he looked the monk found his head
seized from behind while a terrible voice
vociferated: Confess your crime. YOU

Brother Flamidieu, who had sunk upon
his knees in an agony of sorrow at the
piteous sight of his former pupil. bent
forward and kissed the bare feet of the lit

Finding that no confession could be ex-

then hurried back to his prison, pursued by
the execrations of the students and the
mob.

proof, or identity of injuries, which many

SLICK MARCUS AURIFEROUs.

4 do not concede," says Mark Hanna,
fastening home from Europe to guide
his party in the Ohio campaign, that
the Congressional election in the late
Representative BANDS district in Mis-
souri, last week affords any test of
American sentiment in relation to ma
ocrat was foregone conclusion, and
the fact that the Democrats are calling
it a test gives ground for the suspicion
that they made the majority to suit
themselves.
Certainly not! Mark was never
known to concede anything he didn't
have to. He isn't that kind of pol
itician. The st. Louis Republic, which
is on the ground, finds considerable
amusement in this expression from the
boss of the national Republican organi-
cation since it is a direct criticism of
the Republican attitude in the Eighth
District campaign from its opening to
the day of the election. 1t was Repub-
lican orators and Republican newspa
pers who insisted that the result Of
the Eighth District election would
be a clear and definite test of public
sentiment on the issues of expansion"
They also insisted most strenuously
that the election of a Democrat was
anything but a foregone conclusion.
Yet the Democrats greatly increased
their vote.
1t all goes to show how badly the
administration forces are ratified" ov-
er the verdict of the people in the Mis-
souri, district. Even the phlegmatic
and crafty Boss Hanna is thrown ON
his beam ends, so to speak, by the sig
nificance of this straw.
1t is too late to deny that signif-
canoe now.
