 BABY CONTEST

Here is the proposition and the rules governing the contest:
 There is handsome $25.OO solid gold locket with diamond setting and solid gold chain, on display at the Palace Jewelry store, to be given away Decem- Der 24th, 1904, to the baby boy or girl under two years of age, who wins the highest number of votes as the prettiest and sweet est baby. Now the baby that is not pretty is surely sweet, and if the wee tot be little cross at times, beauty must offset this badness. Fond parents at least are expected to think their ba- bies are both sweet and beauti- full, and so they do. But to set | tie once for all the claims of the under two, and put at rest this rivalry of mothers and fathers, the Independent has inaugurated a contest that IS to be determined by that cherished right, popular ballot, and in accordance with the following rules:

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE IS DANGEROUS.
NegIeot of the First Warning Symp- tcms is the Prime Cause of 50 Many Deaths from the Dreaded
 Bright's Disease.
lt is E2siiy Curablc in the Early Stages.

kidaey diseases arc so destructive to human fife because they do not manifest charming symptoms until the constitu- ton $ seriously weakened and the strength exhausted Then, too often. the remedies employed by many physi- cians areof indifferent or doubtful value, and the patient rapidly sinks under the disease. Tie wisest course is to apply a reliable kidney ahd liver remedy on the f,st appearancs of the symptoms. A little uneasiness in the small of the back, digestive troubles, bowel irregularities and disorder ill the urinary organs are matters of small moment in the estifna- ton of strong men and women, yet they have a serious meaning. They show clearly that the kidneys are suffering and need help, which must be forth coming at, once to prevent serious, per- haps fatal consequences. A few doses of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would prove of incalculable value in restoring luc "SdhSASu oiSdHo lo ASaAsh' NAA investment of one dollar in bottle of Prick1y Ash Bitters when the disease is yet in the early stage will save hundreds of dollars in doctors bills, besides the suffering that would surely follow should the disease be allowed to fasten itself in the body The excellent curative power of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to the first stages of kidney disease. It is equally efficacious ill severe or chronic cases. Physicians have used it as last resort, in cases that deied their best efforts, with the most brilliant results, and it has shown its superiority over the many so-called kidney cures, now being loudly advertised, in instances inuu- merable.
 Accept no substitute. Insist<on having the genuine Prickly Ash BitterS with the large figure in red on the front label,
