SHOWING THE WAY.

Most of our readers know all about
the aches and pains of a bad back,
very few people are free from sick
kidneys, as the kidneys are the most
over-worked organs OF the body and
"go wrong" at times no matter how
well the general health may be. The
trouble is SO few understand the in
dications of kidney trouble. You are
nervous, tired out and weary, have
stitches, twinges and witches of
backache pains, but lay it to other
causes; finally the annoyance and
suffering attendant with urinary dis
orders, retention of the urine, too fire.
quent ur1nation makes you realize the
seriousness of it. At any stage
you should take remedy that will
not only relieve but cure you. Read
the following and profit by the lesson
1t teaches
c. J. McMurray, resident Of Free
port, Ill.,, address At Iroquois ST.,
says: II have greater faith in Doan's
Kidney Pills to-day than l had in the
fall Of 1897, when I first took that
remedy and IL cured me Of an acute
pain across the back and imperfect
action of the kidneys. Since made
a public statement of these facts and
recommended Doan's Kidney Pills to
my friends and acquaintances, thor
oughly believing as did both from
observation and experience that they
would do just as they we're represent
ed to do. l am still pleased to re-
indorse my statement given to the1
public shortly after l first began to-
use the remedy"

Watterson Would ScuttIe.

Henry Watterson is now "scuttler."
Next to Edward Atkinson and Brother
Bryan, he is at the head of the pro-
cession of those who would get out of
the Philippines. Not long since he
was whooping it up to stay. He
would have American ideas and civili-
cation go hand in hand to redeem the
natives from the bondage of barbar-
ism. He Endorsed the Mckinley pol
icy, and went even further than Nc
kinley in urging that the flag be kept
flying. He was Enthusiastically elo-
quent in his patriotism and enthus-
iasm, and the attitude he struck was
admirably suited to his figure and rec
ord. But now he thinks we ought to
get out, and not be particular as to
the method either. He would have
us find a small hole somewhere and
crawl through it. Mr.. Watterson is
apparently trying to get in line for
what Democratic national convention
will declare for. 1t is not principle
with him this time nearly as much as
it is expediency.-Grand Rapids Her

/ did SO, and am happy to say that
after few applications felt great
relief, and continuing its use ! can

Jacobs Oil Is, In my opinion, thing
which should be in every household.
What blessing, and what hours of
suffering, pain and misery would
have been saved had Mr. Moore
adopted the wiser course and used
st. Jacobs Oil at first, instead of
wasting time and money on worthless
embrocations and nostrums with
which, unfortunately, the market is
flooded. The public should not lose

Better Never Than Now.

The difference between curing a
tariff law and digging a grave for it
is great. When the people of the
United States wan to bury protection
out of sight they will call on the Dem
ocratic party, but not before. They
have found protection very useful in
the business of the nation and will
have further use for it. Reform of
the tariff by its friends" may mean re-
form "the day after never" but even
that is better than reform by its enc
mics, which means reform out Of ex-
istence, with all that implies.-Pitts-
burg Gazette.

Does Not Vote AS He Thinks.

Southern Democrats understand
well enough that Republican policies
are prosperity policies. But they are
expected to vote their prejudices, not
their convictions. Many of them will
continue to vote their prejudices, too,
but some won't. A Democrat told the
editor of this paper few days ago
that he never had voted a Republican
ticket and had no intention of ever
voting one, but that he hoped the next
Republican candidate for President
would be elected.-Valley Mills (Tex.)

EXPLORING Indian Mounds.

Under the direction of Prof. Frank

mounds are being excavated in the

that Interlaken was once the abode

around these mounds. So far only a

$75, 800. and are of a great age. The
kitchen of the shah of Persia is, how
ever, the most valuable in the world.

gold and the plates and dishes used
at the royal table are of solid gold,
incrusted with precious stones. If it
were possible for the contents of the

Salt Lake Is sinking.


''The decline in the surface of Great
Salt Lake is causing apprehension
among the people of Utah. This inter
esting body of water has been steadily
sinking for number of years. but the
causes of it's decline are not we'll I'M
derstood. 1t is thought by some that
the lake is subject to cycles of change
which correspond to like cycles of
years of heavy and light rainfall and
that it is now undergoing one of its
low water periods from which it will
soon revive. The movements in the
waters have also been thought to be
related to the development of agri.
cultural and grazing interests, which
divert large quantities of water from
the streams which feed the lake for
use upon the land. During past years
the cutting of timber on the neighhor
ing mountains has been unusually
heavy, practically destroying the for.
est protection of the head waters OF
number of streams whose waters
flow into the lake. The cutting OF
these forests is supposed to have in
jured the flow of the streams and thus
to have affected the lake level. Great
Salt lake is the means of considerable
resource to Utah and the value OF
property near the lake and certain
lines of business are said to be un
favorably affected by it's decline. The
matter is there considered of so much
Importance that the United States geo
logical survey has been asked to make

Unable to Stand for Months Because OF

The pain / suffered was most severe,
and nothing that 1 used helped me
until I applied St. Jacobs Oil, when
they Immediately became better and
in a short time I was able to go about,
and soon after was quite cured. l am
now determined to advise all persons
suffering from pains to use this won
derful remedy, which did SO much for
me-"
Mrs. Thomas does not enlighten us
as to what treatment she pursued dur
ing. the months she was unable to stand,
and during which time she was suffer-
ing so much, but we venture to suggest
that had she called in any we'll known
medical man he would at once have
prescribed st. Jacobs Oil. for it has
conquered pain upwards of 80 years,
and doctors know there is nothing SO
good. The proprietors of St. Jacobs
Oil have been awarded twelve gold
medals by different international exhi-
billions as the premier pain-killing rem
edy of the world. The committees
who made the awards were in each in
stance composed largely OF the most
eminent medical men obtainable. Mrs.
Thomas did not know the high opinion
in which st. Jacobs Oil is held by
almost every progressive medical man.
