IS IT AN EPIDEMICe
Vital Statistics Show an Alarming In- crease in an Already Prevailing
 Disease-Are Any Exempt?

At no time in the history of disease has there been such an alarming in- crease in the number of cases of any particular malady as In that of kidney and bladder troubles now preying upon the people of this country.
 Today we see a relative, a friend or an acquaintance apparently we'll ard in a few days we may be grieved to learn of their serious illness or sudden death. cauc.ed by that fatal typa of kidney trouble-Bri3hts disease
 Kidney trouble often becomes ad- vanced into acute stages before the afflicted is aware of it's presence: that Is why we read of so many sudden deaths of prominent business and pro fe:sional men, physicians and others They have neglected to stop the leak In time.
 While scientists are puzzling their brains to find out the cause each inii- vidual can. by a little precaution, avoid the chances of contracting dreaded ard dangerous kidney trouble. or eradicate 1t completely from their system If al- ready afflicted. Many precious lives might have been. and many more can yet be saved, by paying attention to the kidneys
 1t is the mission of The Republican to benefit ito readers at every oppor- tunity and therefore we advise all who have any symptoms of kidney or blad- der trouble to write today to pr. Kil- mer & Co, Binghamton. N.

THE SCHOLAR IN OFFICE.

From the scholar in politics we have now come to the scholar in office. A professional thinker out in the univers- ity of Wisconsin Professor Ely) sug- gests that the municipal offices should be filled by persons who shall make distinct profession of municipal office holding. Presumably they are to be required to undergo competitive eX- animation to determine their relative fitness to serve the city. Clearly the triumph of -partisanship in New York city has eleted the college pro fessors with the belief that we are at the end of all interference in local af- fairs from the political parties. and have only to present experts in order to assure their selection.
 There has been no complaint that the persons who have been elected to office in any municipality have failed to give good service because of their lack of special knowledge. The most ignorant ward politician who has been placed in a business office of the municipality has recognized the necessity of employ ing subordinates fully capable of trans acting the business thoroughly. If one should fail to do so he would be promptly visited by his bondsmen. Ig- norance in city government is mische- vous only in the case of councilmen and officials. who have control of educa- tional matters. It has never been charged that the city of New York, for example, has suffered for lack of eX- pert knowledge in any other depart ments than the legislative and the edu- cational. Usually there are in every office persons who remain through sue cessive administrations because of their familiarity with all tine require ments of the place.
 What is wanted is not a class of pro- fessional office holders, but honest and trustworthy men of sound common sense, who would have no other pur- pose than to serve the public in the of fees to which they might be elected. For all technical knowledge which might be required they could easily employ experts. Such men would ad here to every policy of their predeces- sors which should promise to improve the public service. There is nothing in the ordinary routine of municipal man agement which can be mysterious to an intelligent man. The thing from which the American cities suffer is the rule of a political machine in the hands of interruptions men. To get rid of this curse would be enough. All other needed reforms would follow.-Phila- delphia Record.

WOMAN IN THE CASE.

'I had moved heaven and earth to get rid of that old skate" said the man who loves to trade horses. "Of course he wasn't worth what I could get for him. but he was certainly worth S125. because l had agreed to throw in the headstall. which was a new one. I never had a horse yet that I wasn't able to sell, and the only thing that worried me in this case was that I might wake up some morning and find the brute dead from old age.
 "I ran across a man at last who Was looking for a horse, and talked him to standstill before I showed him the living illustration of the fact that there is nothing in the story that a horse never lived over twenty years.
 When I had my man in a trance I led the horse out. and was gazing at him in silent admiration when my wife. who was an interested spectator. eX- claimed:
 Do you know, That is the funniest horse! Why, he can't eat hay"
 Tt is needless to say that I did not make the sale"

ON THE GOLF LINKS
Result of Yesterdays Tournament at
 the Country Club.

The golf links and grounds of the Country club afforded a pleasing pie ture yesterday, the scene being one oi great merriment and sociability. The usual Saturday afternoon refreshments and the tournament together called out the largest crowd that has visited the grounds this season. The leading cicty people of the city were present and beside them were many tourists and winter visitors to the city, showing that besides the sport enjoyed by home people the Country club is doing much for the popularity and attractiveness of the city as every stranger who enjoys it's hospitality says good words for Phoenix. An afternoon at the club grounds is a delight to those who come here for the pleasures Of a mild winter climate and who find the same amuse- ments available that they are used to in their distant homes at other seasons of the year.
 Coffee and sandwiches were served by Mrs. E. Heyman and Mrs. F. Gang and the best testimonial for the ladies is the fact that their goods were in great demand their resources for supply were greatly taxed.
 The tournament was a most inter esting one both to the players and those who followed the course of the game. i-o successful was it that the club management will endeavor to have q tournament every Saturday after noon during the season.
 Mrs. N. O. Murphy won ladies' 1st prize.
 Mrs. Harry Jones won ladies' 2nd prize.
 MT. II. L.. Bixby won eentleman's 1st prize.
 MT. Hal Bennett won gentleman's 2nd prize.

ELKs MEMORIAL SERVICE
Programme at Doris Theater Today
 by Phoenix Lodge No. 335.

At o'clock this afternoon Phoenix lodge No. 335 B. P. O. F. will hold its annual memorial service at Doris theater. This service has become one of the annual events in this city. and is looked forward to with interest not for it's display merely, as the occa- sion is not one of idle purpose or ad- Vertisement. But the ceremonies of memorial day perpetuate the noblest human sentiment and the fidelity of the Elks, not only to the living but to the memory of the dead, in great measure accounts for the popularity of the order. These services are all ways impressive. and it has been the effort of the committees on arrange ments to make them more so each sue ceeding year. Those in charge of today's programme have labored hard and with pleasing results, as will be seen by the programme.
 A particular feature of interest in this service is the fact that the two members of Phoenix lodge who have answered the final summons in the Inst year. MT. William O. Petrie and MT. Robert McCleary. have in the past afforded the members of the order and their invited friends many hours of pleasure by their wit and talent on the stage, and their death is mourned by many who know not the mysteries of the order. The two were close friends. their performances were often in conjunction with each other. and it is somewhat coincidental that both should be called within the same year. par ticularly as one was an invalid for a long time and the other usually in the Lest of health was stricken suddenly.

New Railroads.

The Pioneer Press gives this
interesting railroad gossip: The
Great Northern is expected to aid
materially in developing some Of
the newer sections Of the state.
Among the lines that seem practi-
cally assured is the extension Of
the Hope-Aneta branch, from
Aneta straight north through Nell
son county, and along the dividing
line between Cavalier and Ram
sey. This is twenty to thirty miles
west Of the Langdon branch and a
greater distance east of Devils
Lake. It would relieve many
farmers from a twenty-five mile
trip to market and make a num-
Der of new towns in a prosperous
farming section. Additional in
terest attaches to the line as plans
are already on foot for the forma-
ton of anew county from portions
Of Ramsey and Cavalier, with
some of the new towns as the
county seat. A number of town
sites have already been laid out

The Great Northern is said to
have announced to the new settlers
in McHenry county that branch
will be built north from Granville,
west Of Towner. This would
divide the distance between the
Bottineau Great Northern branch
and the 500. Last year that sec
ton Of the state secured the bulk
Of new immigrants and the Great
Northern has taken a great inter
est in the colonization Of that
territory. The north end Of this
line will probably be at Richburg,
which is alao to be the terminus
of the Great Northern branch
which has been surveyed from
Bottineau direct west to the heart
Of the Mouse river country
Every quarter section Of land is
taken in that section Of the state
and it's fertility seems almost I'M

would connect at Richburg and
give the Great Northern a loop

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its APP
pearance-or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part Of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and per1na-
1ently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
Of it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
Of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
