Just as sure as the break of dawn means another day, so does pain in the back ndi- cate kidney trouble.
 When your kidneys become weak and are unable to throw off the waste in the blood, they clog up with poisonous matter, break down, cell by cell and the particles pass away in the urine. Then the albumen which makes rich, red blood, leaks out, your system breaks down, and you have what is known to all mankind as Bright's Disease
 Brights Disease Is taking away more lives to-day than any other known ailment, excepting possibly consumption; and yet with a little attention you may prevent such a calamity as Bright's Disease befalling you
 Are you fortified with the necessary knowledge about Brights Disease? Do you know how to find out if there is anything the matter with your kidneys? Here is a simple but sure test:
 Tn the morning, on arising, take of your urine about four ounces, and put 1t in a glass bottle; let it stand about twenty-foiir hours, and If, on examination, you find any settling or sediment if 1t is cloudy, or if small particles float in it, then you may be assured that nature has warned you and that your kidneys need attention.

BRYAN TALKS POLITICS
Refuses to Express a Preference for
 Vice-President.

Nashville, Tenn, February 24.-En route to Nashville from Chattanooga today MT. Bryan spoke at some length as 10 the questions now confronting the democratic party. He refused to express himself as to his preference for vice president or the section of country from which he shall be chosen. MT. Bryan could not. or at least did not. state whether he expected to be at Kansas City during the coming conven- tion, either as delegate or a visitor Re- ferrlng to Porto Rico he said:
 Congress has power to levy and col- lect taxes, but its power is limited by the provision that the taxes must be uniform According to my view of the constitution, congress has no power to collect one kind Of tax, or one rate of duty on Porto Rico, and another in Tennessee. While this is a constitutional question, which must be finally decided by the supreme court, it also involves question of public policy, upon which amy one ought to be able to form an opinion.
 "The secretary of war said that free trade between Porto Rico and the United States was demanded by the highest con- alterations of right and justice, and the president in his message to congress said that it was our plain duty to provide for this free trade at once" An ordinary duty might be overlooked by the republicans, but how plain duty can be so easily set asde I don't understand The republicans have been relying upon duty and destiny to ex- cuse their impetalistic tendencies. but if the president is so badly mistaken about a "plaln duty we may be pardoned for having some suspicion about manifest destiny.
 ''Bt looks as if the republicans will be compelled to abandon duty destinies and providence and get down to their real argu- ment of dollars and cents, and then they will encounter the hardest they have ever had to meet What ds an American soldier 8 life worth, estimated in Oriental trade? When we start out to purchase trade with blood. we ought to know the market price of blood"
