PAINFUL URINATION
Symptom Of Advance Of
Kidney Disease.
A Kidney Remedy That Can
not Contain Alcohol.

Ninety-nine persons in a hundred
who feel a burning sensation when
they pass water, and occasionally
sharp pains at other times, make the
fatal mistake of regarding the pain as
the only trouble, and not as a symptom
of the advance of kidney disease
There is only one way to regard these
warnings. They mean danger-near or
future. Stop them. DR.. Pettingilrs
kidney-Wort Tablets positively stop
painful urination. They relieve in n
very few days and, most important of
all. they bring the kidneys back to
health.
kidney-Wort Tablets cured C. o.
Collins of diabetes:
Nashua, N. H.. March 4, 1903.
Gentlemen was suffering from
diabetes, and was led to use Kidney
Wort Tablets because being in tablet
form could take the remedy with me
about my work, which was impossible
for me to do with medicine in LIQUID
form. I was also much impressed by
the fact that Kidney-Wort Tablets
contain no alcohol. 1 have grown
steadily better since taking the Tablets
and am recommending many of my
friends who are afflicted with kidney
troubles to use them.
Yours very truly,
c. o. Collins.
If you find brick dust deposit in your
urine. or if it is high colored; If your
skin is dry and harsh feeling, burning
at night; if you have unusual thirst
and scanty or excessive flow of urine,
or if you are losing in weight or
strength, your safety lies in the inn
mediate use of Kidney-Wort Tablets.
kidney-Wort Tablets are the one true
specific. Bright's disease and diabetes
have both been repeatedly cured by it
after the disease was we'll developed
When used for any of the milder
forms of kidney arrangement, such as
habitual backache, headaches, rheu-
matism. colds, frequent or painful
passage of water, high colored urine,
it>acts with marvellous promptness and
efficiency.
Kidney-Wort Tablets contain no al
cohol nor drugs. Beware of liquid
kidney remedies. They have aggra-
waited thousands of cases of simple kid
ney weakness into Brights disease.
That the public understands the vital
importance of procuring kidney rem
edy that cannot contain 3alcohol is
shown by the enormous demand at
every drug store for Kidney Wort
Tablets.

10000 MEN
Will Soon Be at Work on the
Panama Canal.
Panama Canal Co. Receiving About
$4,000 Per Day for Work.
Southern Negroes, Chinese and Japan
csc to Be Drafted.

Washington, April 7.-Mr. Cromwell,
counsel for the Panama Canal Co., and
Admiral Walker called at the state
department, today, to talk to Secre-
tary Hay about the work of the sub
committee which is to visit the 18TH
mus to appraise the value of the work
the company is now doing on the ca
nal. 1t was reported to the secretary
that the company now employees 100
engineers, about As medical officers and
about 1900 laborers and foremen on
the canal. Five thousand dollars a Gay
is modest estimate of the money
which the United States will be ex-
pected to pay the Canal Co. for con-
tinuing this work and it is now sug-
gested that the payments may date
back to the last report of the canal
commission.
Admiral Walkers estimate of the
number of men to be employed on the
Panama canal when the United States
formally shall have entered upon the
project, is 10000. For all practical
purposes this government now is en-
gagged in the construction of the canal.
Under the agreement signed, March 81,
by Secretary Hay and Mr.. Cromwell,
the American representative of the new
Panama Canal Co., the work of con-
struction was to be continued by the
Canal Co. until the exchange of rati-
fications of the canal treaty, with the
understanding that the United States
should pay for such construction work.
Tine men now engaged on the canal
construction work are principally Ja-
maica negroes, who are Injured to the
Central American climate. One of the
purposes of the visit to the isthmus
soon to be made by subcommittee
of the present canal commission is to
study the labor question as it relates
TO the construction of the waterway
with a view of ascertaining a source
from which an additional labor sup
ply may be obtained. The local labor
supply is insufficient to meet the de-
mand. 1t is probable, therefore, that
laborers will be drawn by the thou
sand from the Southern states and the
islands of the West Indies.
AS the labor supply is controlled
largely by companies organized for the
purpose it is quite likely that many
Chinese and Japanese laborers will be
imported for work on the canal. They
are excellent workmen and are pc
cularly fitted by nature for work of
that kind and in that climate.

Two Accidents.


Perley Hartwell had a narrow escape
from a serious accident Monday after
noon and somewhat startled the specta-
tors that witnessed it. AS he was COM
ing around the corner of the Avenue
House on bicycle at a good rate of
speed up the hill, the front wheel of the
bicycle struck the sewer cover and the
rim breaking threw Hartwell into the
air, falling first on the left side of his face.
He was rendered unconscious and imme-
diately was carried to Gordon's drug
store where he soon revived but found
himself somewhat bruised and shaken up.
A minute later pair of white horses,
attached to lumber wagon, evidently
frightened by the crowd about the corner,
started upon mad career up the hill.
The driver slipped from his seat down
upon the wagon pole. The horses were
soon stopped and the driver rescued
from his precarious position and seri-
GUS accident averted. The only damage
done was the throwing of shoe by one
of the horses and the strewing of few
shingles upon the ground.

Railroad News.

The advance in freight rates Of one cent
per hundred weight by the Boston &
Maine will Offset the extraordinary In
crease in expenses on the basis OF last
years gross earnings. President futile
says: las to Boston & Maine affairs,
there never was any basis for the rumors
that we would be Obliged to reduce our
dividend by reason of the increased ope-
rating stocks. We declared our common
stock dividend in July, payable in Octo-
Der, because we never have any August
meeting of the board. There never was
any question OF our earning our dividend
of 81. Our stockholders are entitled to
81, as many of them paid as high as
$3.50 for their stock the price fixed by
the railroad commissioners, hence 81
nets them return of but 3h per cent.
People forget that an increase of one
per cent in our dividend rate amounts to
but $25O,0OO. They overlook the fact
that the strength of the Boston & Maine
common stock is the small amount of it.
If anybody will read our annual reports
for series OF years he will see that the
road has one policy; namely, alter paying
a legitimate dividend all the surplus is
used for betterments to the property.
This represents very large sum each
year. Through this policy we have been
able to keep our road in such frst.class
condition that whenever period comes
along when net earnings do not permit
OF extensive expenditures, we do not feel
any loss by suspending extraordinary
work. The Boston & Maine is not
obliged to simply run its road to get out
dividends. 1t always has an excess of
earnings above dividends to put into the
property.
We now have the Boston & Maine in a
similar position to the farmer who has
his barns all painted and his property in
frst.class condition, so that when a year
comes when crops fail and he is not pros
porous, he can rest on bis Improvements
and not suffer. Last year our coal cost
us 100000 over normal years, but
we had to run the railroad and it was
necessary to have the fuel whether it
cost 100000 more or $1,300,000 less.
We were Of course deprived of that
amount of money which would ordinari-
ly have gone into the property. Notwith-
standing our extraordinary expenses we
have been able to improve the property
this year, pay for everything and charge
it into earnings"
