There are many reasons why you
should use Morrow'e Kid-ne-oids in
preference to any other kidney prep
aration. In the first place, Kid-ne-
oids are 3 scientific preparation. Sec
ond, they are in tablet form and not
pills, which is the most scientific
form OF putting up medicine; they do
not get hard and pass through the
body whole, but dissolve and take eff
feet. Third, there T never any bad
effects from their use Ike there 10
from 90 per cent. Of other prepara-
tions. Fourth, most all kidney prep
arations r filed up with something
to act on the bowels. Morrow's Kid
ne-oids do not act on the bowels, be-
cause some people do not need q
cathartic; they simply need some
thing TO act OF the kidneys, and when
you take other kidney preparations
the bowels are moved perhaps severe-
Iy when they should not be disturbed.
There are many other reasons why
Kid-ne-oids should be used and these
reasons you win find out BY using
them.
We give you the evidence Of A. NJ.
Thistlewait, VINO resides at 207 East
Sixth Street, Kansas City, No., who
says:
"My left kidney seemed to be the
one diseased, as the dull heavy pain
was on tho left side Of my back low
down. Sometimes sharp, shooting
pains would pass through my back
like q knife; then again I would have
q stitch In my back so / could scarcely
move without suffering intense pain.
Rheumatism and urinary troubles
were also symptoms of my disease.
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids was the only
remedy that gave me relief. Kid-ne-
ODDS relieved me from the start and
finally conquered the disease, thor
oughly destroying every symptom OF
kidney trouble"
Morrow,s Kid-ne-oids are not pills,
but Yellow Tablets and are put up in
wooden boxes which contain enough
for about two weeks treatment and
sell at fifty cents 3 box at 8uckner &
Whitney's drug store or will be mall
ed upon receipt of price by John
Morrow & Co., Chemists, Springfield,

II q Missouri court recently a rather
novel case came up for decision. Dur
ing the civil war a certain northern
soldier went into service. leaving a
young wife at home. In due time the
news reached him that his bride had
died, and when the war ended he did
not return to his old home, but settled
out west. He married again. and with
his second wife accumulated a large
amount Of property in Pratt county.
Not long ago he learned that his first
wife had not died, but supposing him
to have been Killed. had married an
other man. This man died, leaving her
q widow. When the Pratt county nan
learned these facts he brought suit
for divorce, and the woman In the east
heard Of 1t and came out and fought
the case, asserting a claim to part Of
the Pratt county mans property. How
v after the lawyers had made a
great fight before him, the judge grant
ed the divorce and left the Pratt u
ty man free to marry the woman who
has been living with him for many
years as his wife.

QUESTION ANsWERED.

Yes, August Flower stIll has the
largest sale Of any medicine in the
world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought OF using any
thing else for indigestion or bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard OF appendicitis, ner
voue p~rostration or heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean out
the system and stop fermentation Of
undigested food, regulate the action
OF the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action OF the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need a few doses OF Green's

SUBSISTENCE OF THE ARMY.
During the Last Year Il Has Cost
About sci, 054,e46.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The sub
sistence of the army during the past
year, according to the annual report
of Acting Oommissary General Wes-
ton, cost SGT ,O54,64s. The expendi-
lures, it should be stated, however,
Tn addition those for the army proper,
include computation of rations to
prisoners of war, relief of destitute
Cubans, reliefs of sufferers from over
flow of Mississippi and Red rivers,
miners of Alaska, etc.
The value of stores lost by acct
dent, transportation, etc., during the
year for which no one was held re-
sponsible, was s16o,441. Supplies lost
for which responsibility was fixed
amount to s1,1se, nearly all of which
has been collected.
The casualties in the Subsistence
Department, General Weston says,
attest the efficiency of the department
ct the critical points where the servi-
ces OF It's officers r at their maximum
value. Allusion lie made to the failure
OF the army reorganization act Of
March 9, 1899, to provide for an In
crease Of the Subsistence Department
commensurate with the general In
of the army.

Some days ago the LEDGER reprint
ed an article from 9 st. Louis paper,
which told of the domestic troubles Of
Mrs. Louis Howard Rolling, q slater
OF Sam s. Howard, of this city. The
following self explanatory letter was
received by the LEDGER to-day:
To the Editor OF the Ledger.
ST. LOUIS, No., Nov. 3.-Dear Sir:
About q week ago there appeared In
the Mexico papers Al article, the pro-
totypes Of which we're published In
the St. Louis editions, referring to the
arrest and imprisonment of myself by
my wife, on the charge of wife aban-
donment. This charge, however, was
false, no charge having been brought
against mel having been simply de-
tanned by the order OF the "chief Of
police.n Bat to eradicate this idea IL
not the purpose OF my letter. My
entire reason Is to vindicste and es-
tablish my wife's honor-by this 4
mean the reference which was made
to her having lived with me
during the period Of two years
prior to our marriage. This / declare
absolutely, positively and emphatic
ally to be untrue, whether or not
1 made such a statement. Enclosed
is a clipping from the Rost-Dispaoh
of October 20, which refers to q visit
to the city editor of that paper BY
mother. You viii greatly oblige me
by publishing this letter and any
charges that may be attached / shall
gladly pay. Very Respectfully,
LOUIS HoraING,
l0oe N. Lefingwell Ave-, 81. Louis, Mo.
Following lie the clipping above re-
ferred to:
Louis HolIing, the blind piano
player who was arrested Thursday on
complaint OF bis wife that he had
abandoned her, stated 70 the police
that he bad lived with her prior to
the marriage. HolIing's mother de-
MED this statement Friday and asked
that 1t be corrected. She declared
that her son and his present wife
never lived together until they were
legally married.

ADMIRAL DEwEys WEDDING.
Arrangements for the Naval Heros

WASHINGTON, d. O., Nov. 2--The
arrangements for the marriage Of
MFe. W. B. Hzzen and Admiral Dewey
are as yet incomplete. The date OF
wedding mas not yet been get. AS 70
ttia weddieg ceremony, It would seem
that q high dignltary Of the Catholic
church win be selected TO oficiate-
either Cardinal Gibbons or Archbishop
Keane, former rector Of the Catholic
University.
Mrs. Hazen, who was raised a Pres
byterian, afterward attended st.Johnis
Episcopal church. and some six OF
seven years ago became a convert "a
the Roman Catholic faith. She wal
received in that fold by Archbishop
(thsn Bishop Keane, and for a lsnl
time attended st. Matthew's. Nor
latteFly abe has kept a pew at 81
Pani's church. In any event, Il /
thought that the marriage viii tax
place at the present home OF Mrs
Hazen, the residence OF Mrs. Wash
ington Mclean, and that the witnesse
will rot be many.
The smallest deteiis of Admire
Dewey's everyday life being MOI
considered public property, IL VIII b
interesting to state that he has set u
new fashion for the marking OF tn

and bis marriage. he sends flower

what Is Home Without a MotherF'
Every once in awhile we notice that
some newspaper writer endeavors to
put an estimate on the "value of
women" How much 10 a woman
worth? Articles along this line are
generally ridiculous, II not disgust
ing. However, the New York Journal
strikes 3 new idea in the following;
IA woman cost Hilton q couple Of
million dollars Another has just cost
Cornelius Vanderbilt at least forty
mIliIons-probabIy twice that sum.
How much is a woman worth? as in
most other matters, It all depends on
the quality Of the goods. The faith
ful, devoted, hopeful American wife
ia worth all the money on earth. The
extravagant, vain, thoughtless, reck-
less woman of the world is dear ut
any price. Young Vanderbilt's love
for his wife and scorn for money in
comparison with HE choice have
placed him high 10 esteem. Hilton's
folly degraded him. Vanderbilt made
= good investment; Hilton a poor one.
There are thousands of men who have
paid infinitely more for their wives
than Cornelius Vanderbilt did for his,
and who have never regretted 1t. A
man can easily give up CSC, o00, 900 IL
he has 81, 800, coo left. 1t does not
cost him a single luxury or comfort.
He Ioses nothing but q certain sense
OF power and the miser's satisfaction
in contemplating the size Of his pile,
But the man who gives up an inheri-
lance of $4,000 or an allowance Of
$25 q week for the woman he loves
that is the one who really pays a high
price for his domestic happiness. And
there are sueh men all over this con-
tinent. The fact thai they are will
ing TO make the sacrifice is the high
est testimony that could be offered to
the priceless valne of American
womanhood.u
