How to Drink Water.

A beginning of kidney trouble lies
In the fact that people, especially wom-
en-, do not drink enough water. They
pour down tumblerfuls of Ice water as
an accompaniment to meal, but that
is worse than no water, the chill pre-
venting digestion, and indigestion be-
Ing an indirect promoter of kidney
disease. says Good Housekeeping. A
tumblsr of water slipped in the morn
Ing Immediately on rising, another at
night, are recommended by physicians.
Try to drink as little water as possible
with meals, but take a slassful half
an hour TO an hour before eating. This
rule persisted in day after day, month
after month, the complexion will i'm
prove, and the general health likewise.
Water drunk with meals should be-
slipped, as well as taken sparlngly.

WILL AVERT FAMINE.
Gar Of Russia Plans Work for
Starving Firms.

The car has personally interviewed
in behalf of the famine stricken Firms
and has ordered that extensive relief
work be started without delay. Besides
the immediate construction of the pro-
posed Idensalmi-Kayana railroad,
which will cost 500, 900, he has sane
toned the expenditure Of 100000 on
the Uleaborg- Tornea line, voted by the
senate but hitherto unapproved; the
raising of a 100000 loan for other
railroad construction; the establish
ment of bank with capital of $780,
900 which sum is to be used in max
ing loans to peasant farmers, and has
approved an appropriation Of $l4o, Ooo
for public works, principally the drain
age of swamps. The Firms attribute
the cars action to the steps taken In
America to relieve the distress exist
ing in Finland, and to Ambassador NC
Cormick's inquiries on the subject.

EXTRA SESSION LIKELY.
President viii Reconvene Congress
Unless Panama and Cuban Trea-
ties Pass.

The discussion at the cabinet meet
ing revolved principally about pend
ing legislation in congress. Little hope
is felt among members Of the cabinet
that the Cuban reciprocity and Panama
canal treaties will be ratified by the
senate at the present session, and each
days delay in acting upon them is in
creasing the probability Of an extraor-
binary session of the senate In the
event Of failure of either one or both
of the treaties. So far as can be as
certained. the president has not deter
mined on any date for the opening of
the extra session II one should be
called, but it Is regarded as likely
that it will be practically right after
the close of the present session. 1t Is
hoped by the administration what Is
regarded as necessary legislation for
the Philippines may be enacted by the
congress. In this direction the presi-
dent and Secretary Root earnestly de-
sire that the senate should confirm
the appointment of officers who have
been named for the regular army es-
tablishment.

PROTEST AGAINST SEATING
OF SENATOR REED sMoo1
Charge MADE by Rev. LeiIsch Of Salt
Lake That Senator-EIect is an
Active Polyqamist.

Active PoIygamist.
Senator Burrows, chairman Of the
senate committee on privileges and
elections, on Thursday presented to
the senate protest signed by Rev. ].
l.. Leilach, of Salt Lake City. repre-
senting the Ministerial association,
against the seating of Senator elect
Smoot.
Rev. Leilach, in his sworn statement,
declares that Smoot is a polygamist,
and now has plural wife, although he
deems 1t inexpedient to give the maiden
name of the lady at this time. His
charge on this point is as follows:
THAT the said Reed Smoot is a po-
lygamist, and that since the admission
Of Utah into the Union of states, he,
although then and there having legal
wife, married plural wife in the state
OF Utah, in violation of the laws and
compacts hereinbefore described, and
since such plural or polygamous mar
riage the said Reed Smoot has lived
and cohabited with both his legal wife
and his plural wife in the state Of
Utah and elsewhere, as occasion Offer
ed, and that the only record Of sucn
plural marriage Is the secret record
made and kept by the authorities Of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
day Saints, which secret record Is in
the exclusive custody and con-
troll of the first presidency and the
quorum of the twelve apostles of said
church, OF which the said Reed Smoot
10 one, and is beyond the control or
power of the protestants. Your pro-
testants respectfully ask that the SEN
ate of the United States, or its COM
mittee, compel the first presidency
and the quorum of the twelve apostles
and the said Reed Smoot to produce
such secret record for the considera-
ton of the senate. Your protestant
says that 1t is inexpedient at this time
to give further particulars concerning
such plural marriage and its results, or
the place In which 1t was solemnized,
or the maiden name Of the plural
wife,"
Senator-elect Smoot is quoted as
saying, regarding the charges filed by
Rev. Leilch: ''Leilich, as agent Of the
Ministerial association, came to my
home town, Provo, I am told, and en-
deavored to get signatures signed to
the protest against seating me; but he
was confronted by a solid array OF
Mormons and Gentiles who are my
neighbors and friends, and who later
signed petition in my behalf. Rev.
DR.. Stoddard of Provo headed the pc
tition favoring my cause. There is
nothing of Importance in this charge
filed today. except that am alleged to
be polygamist. say to you now that
If knew | were to die within an hour
| would swear before God that / never
in the past practiced, nor do l now
practice, polygamy in any manner or
form"

Uncle Sam Doing All He Can.

As the United States government re-
Gently has been addressed by the other
signatory powers to the treaty Of Pekin
respecting the exclusion OF firearms
from China, it may be stated that this
government is doing all IT can to carry
out the treaty agreement on that point.
Its efforts are largely in the direction
Of cooperating with China to prevent
the entry of arms into that country, as
1t cannot prevent American merchants
from exporting arms.

MExicANs ARE TERRIFIED.
Coilma Volcano Continues to Beich
Forth Lava and Fire.

A Mexico City dispatch contains the
following: News from the region sur
rounding the volcano Colima continues
alarming. The people, terrified by the
belching flames and pouring lava, are
seeking refuge in distant towns and
villages. The city of Tuxpan, in the
state Of Jalisco, continues all day un-
der cloud of smoke. The volcano is
alight with flames. The new eruption
yesterday afternoon has increased the
general fear. An American who slept
near the volcano on the night of the
eruption was awakened by a tremen-
dous explosion, and saw the mountain
ejecting flames to a great height. He
waited until morning, enjoying the
magnificent spectacle. There Is not
much alarm in the city of Colima, but
fears are felt for the farmers in the
neighborhood of the volcano.

THE EDUCATION OF WOMEN.
Miss Susan 3. Anthony Talks Of Re-
suits Achieved.


Miss Susan B. Anthony, in an article
In Golfers Weekly on the achieve
ments Of women, says: 1.-THE progress
in education is so marked and SO well
understood as to need but little COM
ment. When, in 1851, Mrs. Stanton,
Lucy Stone and made demand that
girls In the state of New York should
be permitted an opportunity for col
lege education, there was not even a
high school open to them in the whole
United States. Oberlin, Ohio, was the
only college they could enter, and
there were no preparatory schools to
fit them for that institution. At the,
present time they are admitted to all
the state universities except those OF
Virginia, Georgia and Louisiana, and
to all the large universities of the
Middle and Western states. The re-
cent most unwarranted and retrogres-
sive action of Chicago university in
'segregating' the women students
shows that the battle is not entirely
over, but the end is in sight. Miss
Anthony says that there are now
100000 women wage earners in this
country, and that the occupations in
which they engage are with a few
exceptions the occupations of men,
Miss Anthony says: The laws, taken
as whole, are by no means exactly
just to women, but there is a steady
tendency toward justice and practi-
cally no retrogression."

The Nations PRAYER.

God of our fathers, Lord OF all,
Who sits on Justice for a throne,
Both right and might are thine alone,
Beseechingly on thee we call.
Forbid that greed should vanquish right
That naughty power and selfish lust
Should strangle justice. Thou art Just !.
Let justice triumph in thy might
Let caste and class be checked again,
And ranks and orders, let them pass,
And let us, looking at the mass,
Find beings God has made for men.
And give as patience to command,
The faith to hope that right at last
VIII triumph; till the storm Is past
Let reason lead us by the hand.
The burden OF our brothers wrong
By fellow feeling let us learn,
And IL allowed this one return
Help US to suffer and be strong.

sHREWpNess OF A LAWYER.
Quickly Perceived That the Witness
Was Not Honest.

Was Not Honest.
The lawyer who has an instinct for
the weak point of witness@generally
fights winning game. A famous law
yer put certain questions to witness,
which were answered with more or
less hesitation. The witness was asked
to repeat his statem1Ats, and then
once more the same process was gone
through.
Suddenly, without warning, the
crossexamining counsel pointed his
finger at the witness and in loud tones
cried:
"Give me that paper in your waist
coat pocket"
Taken completely by surprise, the
witness mechanically took paper
from the pocket indicated and handed
It tr the counsel.
There was profound stiffness in the
court as the lawyer slowly read, in his
cool, calm voice, the exact words OF
the witness in regard to the state
ment, and called attention to the fact
that they were In the handwriting Of
the lawyer on the other side. He then
gathered up his papers with great de-
liberation, remarked that there seem-
ed to be no further eeed of his ser
vices" and left the court.
When asked to explain how he ar
rived at SO shrewd a conclusion, the
lawyer replied
"A witness who has learned his evil
1ence will not give 1t as II he had
heard 1t merely Besides, noticed
that when a word failed him his hand
wandered mechanically to his waist
coat pocket"

TO HELP FILlPlNOS.
Present Urges Reduction Of the Tar
iff In Their Behalf.

III In Their Behalf.
President Roosevelt. in conversation
with his congressional callers Friday,
dwelt upon, with serious emphasis. the
necessity for the enactment of the
pending Philippine tariff legislation.
He said that in the last few days
cablegrams had been received from
Governor Taft strongly urging that the
Philippine tariff bill be enacted, and
pointing out that failure on the part
of the congress to provide for lower
tariff on Philippine products would re-
suit certainly in hardships to the peo-
pie of the islands, and probably to a
recurrence of serious disturbances.
Indeed Governor Taft is Of the opin-
ion that the recent outbreaks inst-
gated by bands of ladrones In the
island of Luzon are due largely to a
feeling of discomfort that is growing
throughout the Philippines. The con-
ditions in the island are said to be
bordering on distress and the presi-
dent. in discussing the situation with
members of congress, appealed strong
ly to them for the enactment Of the
legislation that, in the opinion Of the
administration, would remedy the
present difficulty Senator Lodge and
other Republican senators are making
an effort to secure the passage of the
tariff bill, but they have little hope
of success

OF LEO
Is UNCHANGED
Personality of the New Pope
Cuts No Figure.

Rome, July 29.-Cardinal Logue,
archbishop OF Armagh, had an inter-
view today with Cardinal Gibbons.
When asked today what he thought
of the objections frequently mentioned
against Cardinal GotH being elected
pope on the ground that his being q
member of a religious orGer would pre-
vent him from dealing in a broad spir-
1t with Catholic problems in America
and Great Britain, Cardinal Logue
said to a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press:
1t is absurd. Cardinal Gotti was
formerly an inter-nuncio and has
mixed with the representatives of the
various powers. He knows the prevail
ing conditions as well as anybody.
Just because he is a Carmelite it does
not follow that he is narrow minded.
Moreover, it is unreasonable to attrib-
ute too much weight to the person
atty of the new pope. international
matters and internal policy are now al
most Invariably settled by commit
tees of cardinals who. certainly under
the late Pope Leo, have directed their
departments just as much as the heads
of departments of Il civil government.
But, whoever may be pope, it is not
likely that he will attempt to make any
changes in policy without being careful
to take the service of those commits
sions which have heretofore directed
the policy of the vatican"

OPP John B. Brondel OF the Helena do
cese, assisted by the Reverend Fathers
S. j. Sullivan. Daniel Foley, Victor
Day and Dominic, the latter being from

An hour before the service the cathe-
dral bell was tolled. At the cathedral
there were all the signs of mourning
and of sorrow. The church was draped
in black.
During the service Bishop Brondel
delivered an eloquent panegyric in
which he referred to the great work
Pope Leo had done on bhalf of the
church. He recited a number of the
important events IN the late pontiff' 5
career. In conclusion, he said: 1T is
impossible for Us to relate all the great
acts of Leo and give more than cur
sorry glance at the great things of the
one who was called Light in the
Heavens" Let US conclude with his
oem:

Conflict and labor, plot and biting
scorn.

DRAMATIC SCENES.
Masses For the Repose of King Hum
bert and Leo XIII.

| Rome. July 29.-Rpme this morning
was the scene of one of those dramatic
| contrasts which are. now so character
istic of the Eternal City. While at the
vatican, in the sistine chapel. a solemn
requiem mass was being intoned, with
all the solemnity the Catholic church
can impose, for the repose of the soul
of Pope Leo XIII, the spiritual mon
arch who claimed Rome as his capital.
another and no less solemn requiem
mass was being celebrated in the mag
nificent pantheon for the repose of the
soul of the late King Humbert, the
temporal monarch, the capital of whose
kingdom was Rome.
King Victor Emmanuel and his moth
er, DoWager-queen.M Margaret, came here
on purpose to attend the annual mass
which is celebrated on the anniversary
of the assassination of King Humbert,
which occurred three years ago. The
king drove TO the pantheon, the we'll
known red liveries of his coachmen
and footnen arousing much interest,
and arrived there in time TO meet
Queen Margaret who was dressed in
deepest black. After a tender embrace,
mother and son entered the pantheon,
heard the mass and placed wreaths
on the tombs of King Humbert and
King Victor Emmanuel. The entrance
and exit of their, majesties was wit
messed by a large crowd.
At II o'clock, the members of the
municipality of Rome, with the excep-
ton of their number who a few days
ago went to the vatican to condole
with the camerlingo on Pope Leo's
death, (as representatives of the cler-
ical party of the city government.
visited the pantheon in a body and
placed wreaths on the tombs of the two
kings.
The second requiem mass in the sis
tine chapel was termed the foreign
mass. Cardinal Hoppe. bishop of Brest,
celebrated mass, assisted by the for
eign cardinals, Goosens' Gruscha and
Perraud, and one Italian cardinal, Di
Pietro. The beautiful chapel overlooked
as it did yesterday with the faithful.
The vatican as a rule. provides a
carriage and horses for all the cardi-
mails. and all the horses are alike,
black with long tails, but the authori-
ties were not prepared for so many
cardinals and We're obliged to give the
last arrivals bay horses
From the estimates made, the cost
to the holy see of the. various ;cere-
monies from the death of the pope to
the election of his successor, if it takes
place within few IS, will be $780,
