uEED THE wARNINcI

The first warning of kidney trouble
is usually pain in the back, because
the spinal cord and kidneys work in
sympathy. To avoid complications
such as Bright's Disease or Diabetes,
get Kid-Ne-Oids now. They cure weak
back and sick kidneys to stay cured.
SOC. Coated tablets. Easy to take.

Not a Sick Day Since.

Il was taken severely sick with kid
ney trouble. / tried all sorts of medi-
.cines, none of which relieved me. One
day l saw an ad of your Electric Bit
tiers and determined to try that. At

and soon thereafter was entirely cur

FIGHTING CIGARET
Miss Lucy Page CASTOR. OF Chi
cago, Spending Day in
Rock Island.
MAYOR CAUSES A SENSATION
Admitting at Moline Nesting That
He is a Smoker and
Drinker.

Miss Lucy Page CASTOR, of Chicago,
founder and superintendent of the
Anti-Cigaret league, is spending the
day in Rock Island. addressing the
pupils of the high school this after
noon and later meeting with the
teachers of the city, and outlining
her campaign against the paper-cov-
cred smoke, and giving instructions
On how the tutors of the young can
aid in the work. This evening Miss
CASTOR is to deliver a public lecture
in the assembly room of the high
school
Miss CASTOR spent yesterday in Mo-
line. In the evening she spoke at a
public gathering, to which the mayors
of the three cities were hidden as spe-
cial guests. Mayor William McCono-
chic, of Rock Island, was the only
one of the tri-city executives to re-
srond. During the evening he was
called upon to say something apropos
of the cause in the interest of which
Miss CASTOR is warning. The mayor
condemned the cigaret and pointed
out the disastrous effects il had on
the mental and physical faculties of
those addicted to its use, and heartily
favored stringent legislation in all
states of the union to prevent it's
sale.
But l could not consistently OPP
pose smoking, because l have the hab-

DO most men, and there are times

erately, for | take a>1rink myself oc-

Woman is Shocked.
Obi" exclaimed n woman sitting
behind the mayor, Heaven help you,
my brother"
The mayor for the moment feared
he had started something. and did
not know whether il would be safe
for him to proceed or not; but. as
there was no further demonstration,
he proceeded in an effort to make his
position as plain as possible.
Il do not wish it to be understood"
continued the mayor, that | drink

The mayor, in discussing the Incl
dent this morning, stated that he now
realizes it would have been polite for
him to have remained away from the
meeting, as did the executives of Mo-
line and Davenport, but he said when
it came his turn he felt that it was
more honorable to tell the truth than
essay the role Of hypocrite.

A PoIIceman's Testimony.

]. n. Patterson, night policeman of
Nashua, Iowa, writes: Last winter
had bad cold on my lungs and tried
at least half a dozen advertised cough
medicines and had treatment from
two physicians without getting any
benefit. A friend recommended Fo-
ley's Honey and Tar and two-thirds
of a bottle cured me. 1 consider it
the greatest cough and lung medicine
in the world. Sold by all druggists.

BABY ELEPHANT STOPS TRAIN.
Gets Frisky While Travelling, breaks
Out of she Crate and Pulls
the He'll Cord.

A half-grown elephant stopped an
express train moving at the rate of a
mile minute when an express COM
pany undertook to ship one to Allan
Ia, Ga. lie was "a small fellow and
seemed as quiet as lamb. They built
a crate of heavy timber around him as
matter of precaution, and hoisted
the crate and the elephant into bag
gage ear on a fast eXpressw which leaves
Jersey City every night at ten O'Clock.
Messenger Slower WAS in charge.
When the messenger came too close
the elephant got hold of his coat col
lar and tried to drag him into the crate.
Then the elephant began to break
the crate to pieces, throwing the wood
at Slower. Slower fed to the next car
and sent for Conductor Suits. When
they came into the ear they found the
crate all broken and the elephant free.
He was dancing two-step. Then the
elephant suddenly stopped. He
reached up his trunk to the bell cord
running along the ceiling of the car
and gave one big pull. That was
enough. The train came to stop as
quickly as a train can when ii is maxi
ing so miles an hour. Then the en-
gineer began to say things. An animal
trainer was found and he had the ele-
plant under control in few minutes.

GREAT AUTO CONTEST.
EngIIsh Club Plans = Nonstop Trip
Of One Thousand Miles Under
strict RuIes.

The Automobile club of Great Bril-
tain has planned an endurance run
for 1908 that will be more severe than
anything ever before attempted. ID
will literally test the limit of relia-
bility, for no stops whatever are to
be allowed for, and an operator may
not even clean his vehicle. Every
minute spent in examining, oiling,
or in any way touching the machine,
except to regulate its speed and guide
it, will be penalized.
The run will be one of 1000 miles,
and will be run on successive days,
starting and finishing at Crystal PAL
ace. When an operator starts out he
will take an observer with him who
will make the notes that will cost
him marks. Not even punctures OF
blocked roads or railroad gates
will be accepted as non-penalizable
causes. Every one must take his
chances. When the machines come in
at night the operator must jump out
and leave them without doing Q
thing. The clubs stewards will take
charge of the competing vehicles at
the gate of the garage. IL the ma
chine must necessarily be oiled or
tinkered, the operator must do II in
the morning, and be penalized one
mark for every minute he spends at
II. He positively must not wash off
the mud.

HISTORIC HOUSE "TO LET"
The Mansion James I. Said Was Too
Costly for II King Ia Looking
for a Tenant.

One of the oldest and most beauti-
full mansions of England is an
nounced ito be let furnished" 1t is
the famous Andley End, Sa'fron
Walden. Here one morning last
June its owner, Baron Braybrooke,
died at his breakfast table, leaving
the title and patrimony to his
brother, the Hon. and Rev. Latimer
Neville, master of Mag'lalene college,
Cambridge.
Audley End is the house of which
James !. said, at is too much for a
king. though it may be very well for
a lord treasurer That lord treas
urer was Thomas Howard. earl OF
Suffolk, who helped to discover the
gun-powler plot But the house got
its name from Thomas Audley, who
helped Henry VIII. to destroy the
monasterics and received the priory
which formerly stood on the site for
his pains
The new house cost the lord treas
urer $l.000000, OF about 16 times the
cost nf Hatfield. IT took - years to
build. Charles II. had it for a time.
There are some 80 bedrooms in the
mansion, which is crowded with val
liable furniture and paintings.

Politics must be getting tropical
over in Henry county when gentle
men rush into print to set themselves
right on their. choice for governor.
The Clinton Tribune, Judge Gantt's
official organ, copied an article from
the Clinton Republican In which MIR.
Cslvird, former mayor of Clinton and
a prominent lawyer, said my choice
for governor before Judge Gantt's
announcement was for Folk" The
Tribune, supposing that Mr.. Cal.
vird's declaration In the past tense
meant that he is now for CAN'T, put
a head on the interview reading;
"Hon. c. A. Calvird for Judge CAN'T"
To this Mr.. Calvird took exception
and published card in the Demo
crat, in which he says that the Trib-
une misrepresented him; that he is
not for CAN'T, but for Folk for gov
ernor. This is significant coming
from Judge Gantt's home town
Democrats are getting entirely too
strenuous in advocating their choice
for governor more than year be-
fore the nominating convention.

Every child born into the world with
an inherited or early developed ten
dency to distressing, disfiguring hui
mours of the skin, scalp and blood, be-
comes an object of the most tender So
licitude, not only because of its suffer-
ing, but because of the dreadful fear
that the disfguratiUn is to be lifelong
and mar its future happiness and pros
perity. Hence it becomes the duty of
mothers of such afflicted children to ac-
quaint themselves with the best, the
purest and most effective treatment
available, viz, The Cuticura Treatment.
Warm baths with Cuticura Soap to
cleanse the skin and scalp of crusts and
scales, gentle applications of Cuticura
Ointment, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and mild doses of Cuticura Resolyent
Pills, to cool the blood in the severer
cases, are ell that can be desired for the
alienation Of the suffering of skin tor
tured infants and children, and the COM
fort of WORKOUT parents.
Millions of women use Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and identifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts.
scales and dandruff, and the stopping
of falling hair, for softening, whitening
and soothing red, rough and sore hands,
