and Uric AaiA TrOables.


Almost everybody who reads the

Root, the great Kidney remedy.
1t is the great medical triumph of the
nineteenth century; discovered after
years Of scientific research by the em.
inent kidney and bladder specialist, DR..
Kilmer, and has truly wonderful pow
ers in curing kidney, liver, bladder and
uric acid diseases.
Kidney trouble irresponsible formore
sickness and sudden deaths than any
other disease, and is so deceptive that
thousands have it without knowing it.
Thousands owe their health and even
life toSwamp-Root, to and thousands more
who to-day think themselves beyond
help, can be made well by the use OF
this great remedy.
Swdmp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue
cessful in every case, that a special ar
rangement has been made by which all
readers of this paper, who have not al.
ready tried it, may have sample bottle
sent absolutely free by mail. Also a
book telling more about Swamp-Root
and containing some Of the thousands
upon thousands Of testimonial letters
received from men and women who owe
their good health, in fact, their very
lives, to the wonderful curative proper

HEALTH IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
Injurious LabOrs in Home Life ana
- How They May BE Avoided.

Among all the misunderstanding occupa'
tions in which the housewife may engage
none is more productive Of harm than il
the back-breaking, muscle-twisting, nerve
destroying operation Of washing and scrub
bing clothes upon the ordinary washboard.
The woman who stands over the tub inhal'
ing the hot, unwholesome vapors cannot
hope to maintain good health, to say moth
ing Of the effect OF being confined to Q
STOPPING, unnatural position, which, in time,
will wreck the strongest constitution. Do
not wreck health and happiness over the
washtub in this day of washing machines.
Get the best mechanism in this line and re.
lease yourself from the CALLING slavery OF
the wash-board-that instrument Of domes-
tic torture which is answerable for nine
tenths of the diseases with which our wom-
ankind is cursed. Take, for example, the
Rocker Washer, which is the representative
product in this line, and compare its work
and its results with the labors OF the old
style "blue Monday" wash day. Not only
does this washer do the work in a fraction
Of the time consumed by the old-fashioned
methods, but it does it much more thor
oughly, the clothes being whittier, sweeter
and cleaner than could possibly be the case
were the garments cleaned by hand.
For the convenience Of our readers who
realize that the highest class article in any
department Of domestic equipment is not
only the most satisfactory, but in the end
is really the cheapest, we would state the
washer in question may be had from the
Rocker Washer Company, IT. Wayne, Ind.
The woman who insists upon continuing in
the health-destroying methods and the man
who permits such cruel and unnecessary
sacrifice has much to answer for. When
work can be done more quickly and far bet.
ter without the slightest risk to health Il
is crime to persist in what causes such
general and widespread harm. The woman
who dscards the washboard for the Rocker
Washer will, at the end Of the year, be
brighter, better, healthier and happier fol
the change, and could never be persuaded to
return again to the days of her degrading
and unnecessary slavery-J. H. Meyers, NJ
D., in American Journal of Health.

strength of staple values. The general
commercial situation, however, contin-
ues 10 present much apparent strength.
The see-saw of wheat prices has ben
upwared this week. largely owing to
speculative overseeing during last
weeks depression, which again devei-
oped some good foreign buying. The
iron situation is still one of great
strength, though the yolnnue Of business
is concededly smaller than for some
weeks past. and one grade Of pig Besse-
mer is lower on the week Nearly every
other grade of pig iron is higher, how
ever.
Cotton goods retain all their old
strength. though somewate quieter in
demand at first hands. Raw wool is
weak ard lower. Lumber is feeling the
stimulus of the approach of active build
ing operations, and is higher at nearly
all markets IndustTially the situation
is satisfactory. The current of work in
all lines is running full. and the number
of operatives who have gained some adj
vantage from the activity totals easily

DECISION Is FOR THE KID
Mccoy, Without q Knockout, Bests Jo
Choynski in the Ring.

San Francisco. March 25.-With a SUI
periority in cleverness, quickness and
ring generalship which was apparent
from the first round Kid Mccoy was
very properly awarded the decision over
Joe Choynski at the end of the TWEEN
tieth round before the National Athletic
club in Mechanics pavilion last night
It was very pretty fight. but it was
almost entirely in favor of the younger
man. Mccoy won and won easily He
had the fight in his hands and at any
one of half a dozen palpable oppor-
tunities he could have administered
decisive and knockout blow.
But again and again he failed to fol-
low up his advantage and Choynski
was considered lucky to be able to stay
the twenty rounds. In the fifth round
Joe was apparently going under the
furious rain of McCoy's blows, but was
saved by the gong. Joe could not reach
the kid effectively. who was entirely
too clever for him in getting away.

gold coin, from S445, 29S, SCI March l, 1896.
TO s702, ,269 at the first of the cur

by $50, S54, S52. the United States notes

S2l.4s4 March /, 1896, to 1927, 1885,, 061
March l. 1899. There does not seem
% me TO be a deficiency in the circulat-
ing medium. The abundance of gold
coin does not give relief because of the
prejudice of bankers and their custom
ers against its use. AS a remedy the
banks might add to the vol
ume of their notes. But they do not
see the profit TO attract them to such a
policy. The only other pathway under
existing laws to additional circulation
is in the use of gold. Coin is with our
habits less convenient than paper, but
other countries use it,
ENDLESS Chain" Not in Operation.
THE endless chain is no longer in
operation. No legal tender notes have
been offered for gold in a long time.
That kind of demand for redemption is
for the present obsolete. Indeed, my
impression is that the prospect of it's
revival is slight. The excess of our
exports over our imports is so large
and so continuous that we are not like
" to have TO ship gold to the Old World
for some years to come. Besides that,
and even more important. the increase
IN our production OF gold is a strong
safeguard for the treasury. tits present
