A STATEMENT
From a Prominent Physician About
the Treatment Of Kidney
Disorders,

DIR. Leopold says that nine-tenths
OF the human ailments can be traced
directly to o disordered condition of
the kidneys. The kidneys are the
filters Of the entire system; IL they
become clogged or In any way do
not perform their natural functions,
the element reaching the kidneys
through some other channel immed-
lately returns to that channel which
is unnatural and causes trouble. A
slight backache, nervousness and
restlessness should not be left to con-
tinue; mild kidney remedy should
be at once administered, and the
best combination of remedies is
found in Morrow's Kid-ne-oids.
They act gently, though quickly, re-
moving all sediment from the kid
neys and urine and set the system in
proper working condition.
Mrs. Mary Farst, SOL South High
ST., Akron, o., snys: II have moth
ing but words of praise for MorrOw's s
kfd-ne-oids because they relieve me
of pain across the small of my back,
which had troubled me for two years.
l was also afflicted with nervousness
and rheumatism. 1 tried several
kinds of medicines which were re-
commended to me, but none did me
as much good as Morrow's Kid-ne-
oids. They relieved me in few
days. / shall continue to take them
until 1 am entirely cured"
MOrrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills,
hut yellow tablets and sell at fifty
rents box at all drug stores and
iuhn Lamparter & Co.'s drug

How the Trust, should Bo. Regulated.
The Philippines Policy.
SPRINGFIELD. Ills, Dec. 30.-Charles
G. Dawes, comptroller Of the currency,
made a speech at the Republican state
lovefeast IN the assembly hall, which
was regarded by many as outlining the
policy of the administration on two
points, the Philippine policy and the
attitude of the Republican party toward
trusts.
Speaking ON trusts, Mr.. Dawes said 1t
was the duty of the Republican party
to conserve public interests. Wherever
trusts proved themselves lnimical to
the public veal they must be restrained
and controlled, and if necessary laws
passed that would 80 much encourage
active competition us to bring about the
disintegratlon of the trusts.
Mr.. Dawes asserted that encourage
mept received from anti-imperialists
had much to do with the prolongation
of the war IN the Philippines. He said
that President Mckinley would refuse
to be turned from his course in regard
to the Philippines by the protests OF
the anti-imperialists.

mitted that his mistake was honest.
and | believe it was
But gentlemen, / have got q fact
now for you. l don't care where the
system of the Maine Central Railroad
exists. whether it exists between Ban
gor and Portland. or whether it exists
from Quoddy Head to Kittery and
thence over the Boston & Maine.
which is the fact We want you to
take this generally What did the
Maine Central earn as Il surplus in
1898? ! have the figures and | give
them to you. in 1897. the net income
from transportation. that is in bust
ness. l don't care where it existed, we
are dealing with the Maine Central as
corporation. For 1897 it was 81 1876
925.15, if you can believe the railroad
commissioners. The next year. 1898.
its income was 1.7S6, 5S5. 10, making Il
net increase from transportation bust
ness alone, of $349, 9520i. Now | don't
care whether that is all in the State
of Maine. or from the fartherest point,
from Quoddy Head to Kittery, it is
all Maine Central.
Considerable has been said here that
this Maine Central will be ruined if
what we are asking. the small de-
mands we are making, are granted,
and they are held up to you as a bug
bear. They say, and it was a new
point with me, although | had heard it
suggested. that the Maine Central and
the Boston e Maine are so intimately
connected that they divide up the fares
from Augusta to Boston. 1t is true.
Why. two years ago the eminent gem
tleman who closed this case for the
railroads was here asking for a mar
riage between the Maine Central and
Boston e Maine. and said it was fit
and proper that they should be mar
ried, because the Boston &; Maine own
ed 81 per cent. of the stock of the
Maine Central; asking this Legisia lure
to make that marriage and unite them
as one corporation gentlemen. / take
1t that that statement is true now.
that the. Boston & Maine own 81 per
cent of the Maine Central stock TODAY.
and it is controlled largely by the Bos-
ton & Maine, that rich corporation.
Anu IioN coiIllHS BACK 10 the point,
My brother says that from Augusta to
Boston the fare is 81, over the Maine
Central and Boston & Maine. You buy
your ticket and you go right straight
through, they do not make you get off
when you get to kittery Junction and
buy another mileage ticket on the
Boston & Maine; but you pay 81 at the
Maine Central Railroad in Augusta
and go right through. How do they
divide up on that? The Maine Central
gets $3.50 out of it and the Boston &
Maine gets $1.50, whereas if YOU buy
your ticket in Portland for Boston.
you have got to pay $3.50 over the Bos-
ton d Maine, so the Boston & Maine
loses dollar and gives it to the
Maine Central. They are intimately
connected. l think they ought to have
TO nave been married two years ago.
They talk about the Boston & Maine
going through a thickly settled coun-
try. What is the difference. if these
Two railroad systems are so intimately
