For great many years it has been
the custom for sick people to say: my
blood is out of order. 1t needs purify
ing, I feel all used up. My skin needs
clearing. My brain feels tired"
They are right, but do they act right?
They generally 60 and get laxative
(bowel cleaner) to purify their blood.
Does their blood run through their
bowels?
Science has to-day furnished proofs,
that all the purifying that your blood
needs, in fact, all that can be done,
must be done by your kidneys.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys every three min
utes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the i'm
purities of the blood-thatist their work.
Purifying your blood is not ques-
ton of taking laxative or physic.
Does yonr blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the poisons which are already
in your blood, causing your present
sickness 1t leaves there.
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means of your kid
neys.
That is why bowe1-cleaners fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kid
neys. ...
When you are sick. then, no matter
what you think the name of your dis
ease is, the first thing you should do is
to afford aid to your kidneys by using
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the great
Kidney Remedy.

natural help to nature, for Swamp Root

Queer Customs In Madrid.

Senior LINERS, civil governor Of Ma
drid, has just issued an edict which
has aroused the displeasure Of theater-
soers, for, according to the edict, all
theaters in the capital of Spain must
hereafter close at reasonable hour at
night. In Madrid 1t has long been the
custom Of theater-goers and other low
ers of pleasure to turn night into day;
indeed, in this respect there is no other
city in Europe which can be compared
with it. True, an old police ordinance
says that all theaters must close at
half-past. twelve o'clock, but no one
pays the slightest attention to this reg
ulation. Theatrical performances be-
gin frequently at half-past ten and do
not end until half-past two o'clock in
the morning. Various governors and
mayors, among them being Count de
Xiquina and Senior Aguilera, have at
times endeavored to rigidly enforce the
police ordinances, but their efforts have
been in vain, for the reason that the
theatrical managers of Madrid are un-
usually influential, and are supported
by some of the leading papers. For
this reason many persons doubt
whether Senior LINERS will succeed In
his attempt at reform. The senior, how
ever, is determined man, and he VOWS
that he will no longer allow the thea
tiers to remain open until cockcrow.

Prisoner Leaped to Death.

Unfortunate Mary Ann Carr, IS years
of age, dived to death from the lower
deck of the steamer Darius Cole into
the waters of Lake st. Clair on the
eth, while on her way from her home
in Port Huron, to Detroit, in c. Irge Of
Detective Judson G. Lombard. The
steamer was stopped and small boats
lowered, but all efforts at recovery
were futile, for the body soon sank out
of sight. Some of the passengers say
they saw it come to the surface but
once and then it disappeared. The
young lady was being returned to De-
troit to answer to the charge of grand
larceny. The cause of the drowning
was not due to Mary's fear of being
convicted or of serving a possible five
years, but simply because she did not
like the idea of the detective bossing
her around.

BEAUTIFUL OLD NARA.

Tne Capital of Japan Ten Hundred
Years Ago.
We went through Nara, beautiful
old town that was the capital Of Japan
1000 years ago, but has now the drow-
" quiet OF a sleepy cathedral city, says
Travel. Every place in the world. like
every man and every woman, has an
individuality. And the individuality
Of Nara is like that Of beautifully
fouled man who has grown old, yet
whom the cares of the world have new
ear troubled, and whose wrinkled
countenance has ever a serene smile.
That's Nara. Civilization has not
made 1t conventional and shoddy. The
tourist skips 1t in his rambles. 1t Is
old Japan in loneliness. 1t was holy
day in the Shinto religion when we
were there, and every child born that
day was counted year older than a
child born the day before or the next
day. Thousands of pilgrims had come
TO visit the shrines. There were gaunt-
checked old men in octagonal-shaped
hats and long gray silk robes hob
bling on their STATS from temple to
temple. Shaven-headed. yellow-robed
Buddhist priests walked with solemn
mien through the silent avenues.
Bunches of Japanese maidens, win
some to look upon, hobbled on tiny
clogs, their arms about one another's
shoulders. The trees arched long
branches over the path, and from the
knee-deep bracken came jumping the
deer, long-horned bucks and soft-eyed
does running unaffrighted and pushing
their nostrils into ones hand shifting
Fer cakes. The deer live friendly with
mankind. They roam in the woods
and lanes by day. At shutdown there
Is a bugle call, and they come with
sprightly leap for the evenings meal
and shelter in the stockade.

deadly weapon accompaniment, a crime
for which life imprisonment can be
imposed. Their victims were David
Sparks, Jesse Delosh, Oral Van Helden
and Jos. PopezinslSi, aged from 10 to
Is, all of Grand Rapids. They are all
detained at Lansing as witnesses, ex-
cept Popezinski, whose treatment
forms the most tragic part of the at
fair. The boys were sons of respect
able families, having left home unbe-
known to their parents for the pur-
pose of doing little hoboing just for
the fun of it. Popezinski told the rob-
bers he had no coin. but after investi-
eating they found 80 cents on his per-
son, and for telling a lie the tramps
threw him of the top of box car
while the train was running about IS
miles an hour.
Later-Popezinski says he dropped
off the train and walked home rather
than stand the abuse of the tramps.

OF Interest to Tax Payers.

As time for paying state and county
taxes will soon be at hand, the tax
payers of the state will be interested
In several important amendments made
to the general tax law by the last leg
islature. Section 50, which formerly
provided for interest on delinquent
taxes at the rate of per cent per an
mum and the addition of 4 per cent
collection fee, was amended SO as to
make the penalty per cent a month,
the additional collection fee being re-
tanned.
Under the previous law there was no
charge for the cost of advertising, ETC.,
until the lands had been advertised
and made subject to sale. The adver-
tisement was made in April and there
was no charge on the account men,
toned until the land was actually Of
fered for sale. An amendment in
creases this expense from 20 cents to
81 per description, and makes the
charge lien upon the land on Oct. 1
next preceding the time prescribed for
the sale of the land.
Lands now held for unpaid taxes Of
1897 will be sold for taxes, unless the
latter are sooner paid, in May next.
Under the old law the expense of this
sale, which has been increased to 81,
would not become a lien until that
date, but the new law makes lien on
Oct. 1 next.
Another amendment Is the restora-
ton of the fee payable to county treas
urers for tax certificates to accompany
warranty deeds. This was reduced
from 25 to Is cents and subsequently
abolished, but the last legislature re-
stored it at the latter figure.
