Dodds Kidney Pills the Only Cure For it
They are the Only Medicine That
Removes the Cause

Duluth, Jan. 13.-The climate of this
state is such that rheumatism is very
common disease. Almost every family
suffers from its ravages. Young and
old are it's victims. Thousands of peO-
pie are crippled for life by it. A medi-
cine that can cure rheumatism is a God
send. Experience has proved that lini-
ments and oils are of no more value
than is cold water rubbed on the cheek
to cure tooth ache. The rheumatism is
due to diseased kidneys allowing poison
to remain in the blood, instead Of filter.
ing IT out, has been abundantlv proved
by the remarkable success of Dodds
Kidney Pills. which act solely on the
kidneys, and which have cured every
case OF rheumatism for which they
have been used.
A specimen case ia that OF Mr.. Pat
rick WEIGH of 404 Lake Avenue, this
city. he says:-''I have for years been
tortured by rheumatism and heart dis
ease. My case was very severe, and nv
sufferings very great. tried several
kinds of medicine but they did me no
good. j went to the best doctors who
told ma j never could he cured was
induced to nse Dodds Kidney Pills. and
am happy to state that three boxes

Do6ds Kidney Pills cured this severe
case of rheumatism. thev will certainly
cure others. Are you a sufferer from
rheumatism? If you are. use a box or
two of Dodds Kidney Pills. They will
certainly cure you.

lines. AT the head of each of these de-
partments will be placed an American,
and the bishop has selected the young
Chicago ply sician to take charge of the
medical part of the work. The country
is 1000 feet above sea level and 1000
miles north and east of Cape Town. DR..
Hammett will be the first Chicagoan to
enter this great field. The doctor was
born in Chicago in 1871, and after grad
uating from the high school he spent
some time in the University of Chica-
go. In 1898 he entered the medical de.
partment of the University of Michi-
gan, and in 1897 graduated with great
credit to himself. Since that time he
has been associated with the Chicago
Polytechnic as assistant pathologist and
has been an assistant in the Dunning
institutions. He has lectured at Har.
vey Medical college, and has also been

During his remaining days in Chicago
DR.. Hammett will seek further to fit
himself for his work in Africa.

EDITORIAL COLUMN
Mr.. Dingley's Success.

In the passing of Mr.. Dingley the ma
ton loses one of its great sons, and
while the nation mourns, yet even in
his death there is an extending of the
usefulness of his life. The scattering
broadcast among the people the details
of this remarkable life and the center
ing of public thought on the study of
his character, will prove more helpful
to American manhood than can be
measured. Most of the men who have
such prominence as he won were ia
vored by extraordinary gifts by nature
or furthered on their way by some for
tunate combination of conditions.
Most of the masses who are struggling
on seeking to crafty their tastes and
ambitions find themselves devoid of
genius and opposed by fortune. Mr..
Dingley was one who was more truly
representative of these masses than
most of those who gain such wide
prominence. While a man of good
natural ability, yet he was not the
child of genius. Nor did he have any
great fortunes or great misfortunes to
change the course of his life forces.
His achievements have been great, but
they have been gained by making the
most of himself and his surroundings.
He has struggled and studied, been
conscientious to duty and alert to ac-
cept honest opportunity. He did not
spring up, but he grew. He gradually
developed and his genius was the
capacity for hard work. He was not
gifted with eloquence, had no special
graces of manner, and was not what is
termed brilliant man, and yet he was
an acknowledged leader in the consid-
Grafton of all questions of economics.
he was an authority on financial mat
tiers, his Judgment was deemed wise
and safe, and he thus lowered head and
shoulders above the masses, not because
be was born SO much larger than they,
but because he had developed himself
by conscientious conformity to all the
laws of moral and intellectual growth.
With his death and the attention called
thereby to the details of the events
which made his name SO familiar to the
firesides of a great nation there comes
to every thoughtful mind the inspira-
ton that it is possible for man of
ordinary ability, surrounded by diff
culties and obstacles, to grow and
strengthen and win some measure of
success. One may not win national
fame, but that matters little so long as
at the bar of his own consciousness he
realizes that he is making something
OF the talents he does possess and that
the future contains wonderful posi-
bilities for even the man who is not
what the world calls genius. Council

said that the admiral was as cool as
though at anchor i'll his cabin. After
the American guns opened he simply
observed the channel and the enemy's
ships and asked the pilot, when can
we shift the helm:" He wished'to turn
to starboard. In few seconds he re-
peated, "Pilot, advise me when we can
shift the helm.'' A few minutes later
the pilot said, Admiral, the helm may
be shifted now" Instantly Cervera,
inarvelously calm and free from excite
ment, gave the orders, To starboard!"
and "Fire!" The helm was shifted, and
the turret and port batteries opened. Y
Already there were many dead and
wounded in the batteries; the ship was
filling with water and was on fire be-
low. With open sea just ahead the pilot
left the flagship, and as he did SO Ger

cause you have earned it we'll. He
then continued the orders to the batter
les and sailing officer which had been
interrupted by the incident of the pilots
leave taking.
Very many officers and soldiers said
at Camp Wikoff that they saw no Span
ish soldiers on the battlefield except the
dead and wounded. There was every
evidence that these men fell fighting
heroically to hold the line. At San
Juan the trenches and other places Of
shelter were filled with victims of Krag-
Jorgensen bullets. 1t is said that Cen
eral Linares told his soldiers at San
Juan to stay in the front line as long
as possible, then retire to the second.
They were in no hurry to take advan-'
tage of the second order. Some were
shot within few rods of the works by
the foremost Americans on the hill.
The killing of Lieutenant Ord of Cen
eral Hawkins staff was due to the bull
dog spirit Of the Spaniards. Ord led the
party Of the Sixteenth which first reach

Spaniard evidently misconstrued the
gestures. for he drew his revolver and

An officer who saw the Spaniard's body
afterward said that Ord s avengers had
literally "filled it full of holes. This
was what the Spaniard took for granted
when he prepared to die game"
No quarter was expected by the Span
ish, because they had given none to the
insurgents and supposed that Cubans
were scattered through the American
ranks. Countless instances were given
me Of wounded Spaniards crossing
themselves at the approach of Ameri-
cans as a preparation for massacre at
the hands of the enemy.
1t was not savage ferocity simply
which animated the Spaniards. They
showed lofty gallantry. One day during
the long truce the Americans urged that
the cause was hopeless and the Span
iards should surrender to save their
lives. The answer was: "We%cannot
without permission from Madrid. We
would rather fall in battle with Ameri-
cans than be shot for treason by our
own people," Another time the Span
iards began an earthwork in front Of
the Second United States infantry and
were driven off by party from that
regiment. All the Spaniards except one
officer beat a rapid retreat. This officer

An appeal sent by General Linares
on July IL to Blanco and Madrid suing
for leave to surrender puts the situation
at Santiago in it's true light. From 9TH
er sources it is known that the Span
iards had no food. Spanish soldiers fell
faint from hunger at their posts in San
tiago. and SO great was the famine that
dogs devoured their own kind. Linares
said that his soldiers had struggled
three years against climate. privations
and fatigue Che dare not name insurg-
ents), were without food, physical force
or the means of recuperating, and,
moreover, the inhabitants of the terri
tory in which the soldiery had no vital
interest had abandoned it at the APP
proach of the Americans.
Cervera reported to Blanco when the
Americans landed Oh Cuban soil that
he would do what he could with his
squadron, but that he had neither coal
for his furnaces nor food for his men.
A large percentage of his shells and
quick matches were useless, his bat
teries incomplete, the Vizcaya foul and
the Maria Teresa not equipped for the
crisis. But Cervera fought to the last
when the time came, and Linares said
that, with Santiago surrounded, the
army would sacrifice itself in an at
tempt to cut through il Madrid spoke
the word of command. No American
who fought at Santiago but believes that
Linares' pledge would have been kept,
for the Spaniards "did fight. -
