ALCOHOL REMEDIES INFLAME.
Liquid Prepared Kidney Rene
dies Criminal.
Kidney Wort Tablets Cure Without
AChOhOI.

- Ii alcohol is so injurious to the
kidneys, why is it added to liquid
kidney remedies?" people ask.
" TO enable them to keep" drug
gists answer.
No conscientious chemist would
employ alcohol in any remedy designed
to cure kidney irritation. 1t imperils
the lives of the mon and women who
take such preparations, and there is
absolutely no reason why any
sick person should add to their
load Of dread and uncertainty when
DR.. Pettingill's Kidney Wort Tablets,
a much more effective remedy, and
one free from any suspicion of alco-
hol, because the tablets do not re-
quire it. is easily obtainable at any
first class druggists.
Kidney-Wort Tablets relieve and
cure kidney diseases and urinary
troubles ever when all other remedies
fail to show any Improvement
OF all diseases, kidney affections
need the earliest attention. A tenn
porary letting up of the strain on the
kidneys when the first arrangement
appears, has saved thousands of lives.
Fortunately every one knows when
his kidneys are sick. Backache, loss of
appetite, cloudy or milky colored, fra
grant urine, swelling of hands and feet,
bloating of the body, suggest at once
to the least-informed persons trouble
with the kidneys. These are the be-
ginnings of kidney arrangement. The
word disease need never appear if
Kidney Wort Tablets are Immediately
employed.
If every cold, every strain, every
exertion brings backache, the weak
ness is located in the kidneys. Take
any ordinary white glass bottle, fill it
with urine and let it stand day. Ii
a deposit settles or it is high colored,
use Dr.. Pettingill's Kidney Wort
Tablets without delay. You will pre-
vent Brights disease, inflammation,
liberation, paralysis and catarrh of
the bladder, and in very short time
you will stop thinking about your kid
neys or kidney remedies.
Examine your urine for cloudiness,
brick-dust deposits and other symp-
toms of kidney disease.

on accout of his health, was in the

sumably with the intention of advis
ing him to go home. Coburn, how
ever, jumped up and gave Mr.. Sentel
a crack over one eye that nearly
knocked him down. Mr.. Senter spoke
gently, as he sometimes does, clinched
Coburn and downed him on the spot.
He kept him in the station until the
night operator telephoned to the pc.
lice station and Officer Durkee APP
peared on the scene. Uoburn prob
ably concluded he hit the wrong man
that time.

Letter to A. J. Howe.
Montpelier, Vt.

Dear Sir; Everybody considers
painting necessary nuisance, and
you are probably no exception.
You can't abolish it altogether; but
you eau make it come half as often,
and cost only two thirds as much each
time, and have your house look better
all the time
Everybody knows that the sea- shore
is hard on paint The harrington
residence at Roland, Maine, sea-
coast town, was painted with Devoe
seventeen years ago. The house has
never been reprinted, and seems to be
well painted yet.
If you want to take the trouble to
be convinced, we can send you a hun
dred other instances; but none so
striking as this.
This is not all Devoe Lead and
Zinc not only wears longer, but it
paints more square feet to the gallon
than any other paint especially mixed
paints. 1t is the "Fewer gallons !;
wears longer" paint.
Yours truly,
+. w. Devoe q Co.,
10 New York.

FIRST GAME OF SEASON.

noon by adding one to the list of its
victories, defeating the National Life
team by score of 28 to 8. OF course
the strength of the team this year
cannot be measured by this game as
the National Life was handicapped
both by lack of regular practice and
by the absence of some of their regu-
lar players, but at the SAM time
safe to say that the Seminary has a
strong team, in fact, one of the strong.

tionally good base running and team
work. Out Of eighteen errors made

charged against her to thirteen for
the opponents,
Parker, who pitched last year, is in
good condition this year and showed
his usual good judgment He struck
out twelve men and gave only four
bases on balls
Miner, the new catcher, will add
greatly to the sqrength of the team
this year. He is a good man behind
the bat and evidently has good arm
for throwing second, although he had
but few opportunities to show what
he could do,
Most Of the men on the team have
had at least years experience play
ing ball and they batted we'll on Sat
urday, making fourteen hits i'll the
game.
McIver, who played in the field last
year, is doing good work at first base ;
| Grape, the second baseman, played
the same position we'll last year and
Will prove a strong factor in the team
this year; brennan at short, covers a
| good deal of ground and is steady
player. Huntington played good
game at third and has splendid wing
for throwing first; Eastman will cover
centre field this year, the same as
last. He was one of the surest men,
both in the field and at the bat, last
year. Scott and Phillips will play
the left and right fields and, although
new men on the team, are showing up
fairly we'll. The National Life
