The way to be well is to pay attention
to your kidneys.
They are the most important organs of
the body-the blood filters.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the i'm
purities in the blood-that is their work
Purifying your blood is not a question
of taking laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your bow

What the bowel-cleaner does is to throw
out the poisons confined in your bowels

There is no other way of purifying your
blood except by means of your kidneys.
That is why boweI-cleaners fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kidneys

you think the name of your disease is, the

the world did not progress as rapidly as it
would If the traditions of the past ages
were not allowed to interfere with modern
growth. The two great questions of the

MR.. HALL ON IMMIGRATION.
Its Restriction Urged before the In
dustrinI COmmission.

uustrtHl commission.
Restricted immigration was urged as a
means of lettering social and economic
conditions in this country yesterday by
Prescott F. Hall, of Boston. who testified
before the Industrial Commission.
Mr.. Hall is the secretary OF the Immi-
grafton Restriction League organized in
1891, and his testimony was in the nature
of an expert opinion on this subject. The
question was discussed in all its phases.
Prosperous times in this country were al
ways accompanied by large influx of for
eigners. and panics acted as check 10 the
increase of our population from this
source.
The character OF the immigrant was also
criticised, and an educational test recon-
mended by the witness, which would in
clude reading and writing.
Mr.. Hall said that the sum of SI2 .0t0 600
was annually required to maintain immi-
grant dependents. He predicted that the
anti-immigration law which was vetoed by
President Cleveland would yet become the
law of the land.
No more testimony in regard TO the sub
ject of immigration viii be heard by the
Commission until next May.
On Monday the subject of mining will be
taken up and will occupy the attention of
the Commission for at least two weeks
The following witnesses have signified
their intention to testify on this subject:
George W. Schleuderberg, mine owner, and
Edward Mckay, mine worker, of the Pitts
burg, Pa, district ]. P. Zerbe. mine own
