A Boys Victory.

Crossroads, Tenn, Sept. l4.-Orbra YOUNG.
the ten-year-old son of Lester Young, of this
place, is bright boy, and one who is very
well liked by all who know him.
For some years Orbra has suffered great
deal with form of Kidney Trouble which
was very annoying, and which made him mis-
cradle all the time. He had to get up three
or four times every night, almost all his
life.
His father heard of a remedy called Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and bought some for the lit
tie fellow with the result that he is now com,
pletely cured of the old trouble. He says:
''Dodd's Kidney Pills soon gave me great
relief, and now can sleep all night without
having to get up. We will always praise
Dodd's Kidney Pills"
There are many children suffering from
Kidney and Urinary troubles. These dis.
orders should be promptly corrected. Dodd's'
Kidney Pills is a safe and sure remedy for
al such arrangements.
Master Orbra Young conquered his trou-
bles and made we'll boy of-himself by using
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and any one may dc
the same by the same means.
Parents should see to it that their children
are given fair chance in life, and there ]:
nothing that can undermine the health OF:
a growing child as much as Kidney and Uri-
nary arrangements.

The resignation is quite likely to be an
nounced within day or two, but may
be postponed until Mr.. Balfour has an
opportunity to make his promised public
announcement on October /.
King May Avert Resignation.
There is just last chance that the
king, in his private capacity, may avert
what is now declared to be inevitable.
Mr.. Chamberlain's resignation is almost
certain to cause an appeal to the coun-
try. Mr.. Balfour being thus left without
the support of either the protectionists
or the free traders. Chancellor of the
Excheauer Ritchie and his followers are
as openly opposed to any measure of
retaliatory tariffs as Mr.. Chamberlain is
convinced that the unity of the empire
depends on preferential duties in favor OF
the colonies. With the exception OF a
few liberal organs, who viewed Mr.. Bal
fours pamphlet as reputation of Mr..
Chamberlain's policy, there has scarcely
been a seriously considered suggestion
that Mr.. Chamberlain would retire from
Office. But the generally accepted hope
that he would retain his portfolio is
shattered, anu IQe NEWS, WuSA IL OCSoAAiSs'
generally known, will come like thun-
derclap not only to the supporters OF
the government, but to all other polit-
ical sections. BY Mr.. Chamberlain s de-
fection practically all the existing party
lines will be swept away, and the:T re-
construction must largely depend ON Mr..
Chamberlain future attitude. That he
will be content to retire from public life
can scarcely be considered. 1t Is be-
lieved he will not ally himself with
either side, but will rally to the banner
of his preferential programme al1 the
support he can gather from every quar-
ter Mr.. Chamberlain can rely on the al
most solid Irish vote when he confines
himself to fiscal ideas.
1t is announced definitely that Mr..
Chamberlain urged his colleagues to ap-
peal to the country on the preferential
trade issue. He admitted they would be
defeated, but maintained that six months
of weak, liberal government would put
the party back in power with an i'm
proved standing.
