PAIN IN THE BACK
A Sure Sign of kinney Trouble.
A Trial Bottle Sent Free of a Medi-
cine That Will Stop 1t.

Let us give you a piece Of advice. Pain
in the back is an almost infallible sign of
kidney disease; surer sign is the con-
dition of your urine; if you have a pain
in the back, then look to the condition of
your urine. 1t is easily done. Take a
glass tumbler and fill it with urine; after
it has stood twenty -four hours, if it has a
sediment if it is milky or cloudy, if it is
pale or discolored, stringy or ropy, your
kidneys and bladder are in q dangerous
condition and heed immediate attention,
or the consequences may prove fatal
DR.. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
is the one medicine that really cures all
diseases of the kidneys, liver, bladder and
blood, rheumatism, dyspepsia and chronic
constipation, and corrects the bad effects
of whisky and beer on the system. 1t is
wonderful how it makes that pain In the
back disappear how it relieves the desire
to urinate often, especially at night, and
drives away that scalding pain in passing
water and in a remarkably short time
makes you well and strong DR.. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is sold at all
drug stores for 81 a bottle or six bottles
for SIS.
If you would like to try this wonderful
medicine you can do So absolutely free
Send your full name and address to the

out, N. Y, when free bottle, together
with pamphlet of valuable medical ad-
vice, will be sent you by mail postpaid

Sisters-sweet messengers of charity,

Neither heat nor cold, fatigue or danger,

They are to be found in palace and

Nothing daunts them. Nothing dis

By no means the least service they

Good Time

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 29.-The printers
strike in Pittsburg has not affected the
seven daily papers. All are issued on
time and in just as good shape as be-
fore the strike. The stereotypers refused
to go out when ordered to by the Inter
national Typographical union.
The circular of President Donnelly of
the I. T. u, declaring all the machinists
100000 in number) to be non-union men
has enlisted that body in favor of the
publishers and the circular letter under
the seal of their organization is dis
tributed among their labor organiza-
tons. Typographical union, No. 7, the
local organization, having had no voice
in the ordering of the strike, seems to
be waiting orders from international
headquarters at indianapolis.
Meanwhile the printers positions
are being rapidly filled The allied print
ing trades and glass workers union
have refused to countenance the strike.
The boycott efforts of the printers have
fallen fiat, both in the circulation and

such setback from Patsey Sweeney.
Lawler isn't saying a word, but keeps
on hitting the pipe. He's a plumber,
and work is brisk at this season.
Belliveau will stop off at Hartford
and talk with w. L. Crowley, manager
of the Nutmeg Athletic Club. Mr..
Crowley may pit Belliveau against
some local man for try out in a pre-

veau expects to meet Walter Burgo, a
lightweight pugilist who formerly
made this city his stamping ground.
Burgo fought in Erie, Pa, Thursday
night, and was forced to retire after
two rounds of action with one "Rube"

Burgo and Belliveau have been very
friendly, and Walter may get chances
