Is IT AN EPIDEMIC?
Vital Statistics Show an Alarming In
crease in an Already Prevailing
Disesse-Are Any Exempt?

At no time in the history Of disease has
there been such an alarming increase IN
the number of cases of any particular
maIady as in that of kidney and bladder
troubles now preying upon the people OF
this country
Today we see relative. friend or an
acquaintance apparently well, and IN
few days we may be grieved TO learn OF
their serious illness or sudden DEATH
caused by that fatal type Of kidney
trouble-Bnght's disease.
Kidney trouble often becomes advanc-
ed into acute stages before the affllcteo
is aware of its presence; that is why we
read OF so many sudden deaths Of prom
inent business and professional men, phy-
sicians and others. They have neglected.
to stop the leak in time.
While scientists are puzzling their
brains TO find out the cause, each indi-
vidual can. by a little precaution, avold
the chances Of contracting dreaded and
dangerous kidney trouble, or eradicate II
completely from their system II already
afflicted. Many precious lives might have
been. and many more can yet be saved.
by paying attention to the kidneys.

IN SHORT GRASS LAND

REPUBLICANS OF MEADE
Proclaim Their Support of

(special Correspondence Of The Eagle)
Meade Kan. August S.-The result OF
Chester I. Longs tour through the short
grass country this week has been to pick
I'D two votes for United States senator.
and probably three. II has been Ti-
umphal tour for the representative from
the Seventh district Everywhere he has
heen received with enthusiasm Every
where there has been mention of his
growth as a representative in congress

Long has made and is making today for

Cuba, and two representative conven-
tions besides instructing their nominees

have most vigorously ineorsed reel
procity.
Never in the ten years that Mr.. Long
has been making the short grass country
as congressional candidate has he been
so popular as this year. There is reason
for il, Of course, but that does not make
the fact of its presence the less attrac-
tive to his friends. Ten years ago, ne
began his congressional campaigns
against the redoubtable Simpson. He
was then a very young man, almost IN
tried. and unknown save in the few
counties Of the short grass country which
he had represented three years in the
state senate. He was taken at risk.
But the times have changed. His defeat
in 1892 made him none the less desired in
1884. when he won, and began to show
what there was in him. His masterfui
campaign OF 1896 made his nomination in
1855 the logical one. His election that
year and his work in the Fifthy-sixth
congress. and his high place gained on
She great committee on ways and means,
made 1900 easy His work in the re-
Gently adjourned session Of the Fifty
seventh congress pleased him above the
public men Of Kansas; respected and
trusted by national administration; and
a most formidable candidate for United
States senator. This briefly is the cause
OF his most gratifying reception in the
real short grass country, where honest
men and brave hearts have won the
hardest fight against nature and condi-
tions that is possible. and where the very
qualities which have made short grass
people successful have made Mr.. Long
successful in politics. There is some
thing in common between them. though
the life-work has been along different
lines.

The resolutions of the Meade convention
of the Republicans Of the legislative dis
trict composed Of Meade and Seward
counties. held here Thursday, are about
as concise and strong as English language
could well make them. The resolution on
reciprocity was a short combination Of
words which expressed more than the
writer remembers to have seen in any
convention this year. This particular res
olution follows:
In harmony with their fellow citizens
Of Minnesota and Nebraska. the Republi-
cans here represented favor the enact
ment OF q reciprocal arrangement with
Cuba along the lines recommended by the
president and as supported by the Repub-
iican ma ajority in congress"
The resolution of instructions 10 the
nominee on his vote for United States
senator was longer. but also an excellent
one. Here 1t is:
Because Of his untiring and masterful
efforts in behalf of reciprocity; his devo-
ton and loyalty to his chief the presi-
dent, in advancing the various measures
OF his administration: because Of his ripe
experience and mental equipment, this
CbAA utSlICS 10 return 10 AEtSltE l.

That as a fitting testimonial TO his work
and worth, this convention most heartily
favors his election TO the senate of the
United States; and the nominee this day
named is hereby commissioned and di-
rected to use all honorable efforts TO
carry out the purpose OF this resolution"
This on President Ro0saveIt is also q
tribute from an admiring and enthusiast
tic people.
In fitting conclusion. this convention
hereby enlists itself under the banner
OF Theodore Roosevelt for the campaign
Of 1904 banner which knows no trail

But 1t was a hard struggle. Fifteen,

and few there were who were prepared
for it, Those who were, cashed out-and

Many men have made their all in the
shortgrass country, and have emerged
therefrom to higher callings and fortunes
by reason of being tried in the shortgrass
and found not to be wanting. OF these
the mention of few wherever they are
known will be a sufficient guarantee Of
the reliability Of the statement above
made.

1t always seemed to us that there is
nothing grows that looks so much like
the real thing as ripe wheat. There's
richness and beauty and utility in mill
ions of forms vegetation, but field
Of ripe yellow wheat just looks. the
brown loaf it is to become, and which
makes hungry man look at it with a
satisfactory anticipation, that no other
form of vegetation quite gives. And
when threshed, in the bin it again looks
its intrinsic worth-no other fruit of field
or garden can compare with it in value
as regular sustenance, which is after all
the real test. Of course, the world could
live without wheat, but it is question if
we could not better do without pretty
near all other vegetable foods together,
and retain wheat.
