"DIED OF BRIGHT'S DISEASE"
Some Prominent Man Famous for His Good Works, Success or Wealth.
A Disease That Respects Nobody.

No doubt you have often read the an- nouncement contained in the headline of this article. Its frequency is indeed startling, the more alarming because of the increasing prevalence of the disease. Not so many years ago kidney disease was rarely observed, Or if it existed was not recognized, and so was called by some other name. Today the propor- ton of deaths due to the kidneys is very high, greater by far than it would be if the average physician was as we'll posted as to its character and treatment as he is in some other less dangerous disorders. It is the inadequacy of the treatment usually prescribed by physicians that causes to stand out strongly by contrast the great efficacy and curative power of Prickly Ash Bitters. Its use in obstinate cases of Bright's Disease, where the best efforts of the physician have proved un- availing has been signally successful. There is no stage of the disease that it will not help, and if the patient is yet within reach of human aid it can be depended on to cure.

Short STORY

Two men talked together beside the
long, black burrows of Imrie's blowing,
which alone broke the gray-white
waste of the Manitoban plain One was
rich in stock and lands, though the
free prairie settlers did not like him,
for Evanson Wyllard of Darlington
still retained the less pleasant char
acteristics of an insular Briton.
The other was poor though of good
up-bringing, and, as sometimes hap
pened, loved the rich mans daughter.
which was presumptuous of him, for
Wyllard was sowing 1900 acres of
wheat that spring, while Imrie had
sunk his last dollar and pledged his
credit to sow 800.
Wyllard sat in his Ontario buggy,
silent and grim, a hard man, so the
settlers said, with iron-gray hair and
piercing eyes, listening with ironical
patience until the other had done.
Pm sorry. It's perfectly impos-
sible, even absurd" he said then.

Portable Merry-Go.Round.

One OF the curious things which
has been seen recently moving around
the streets of the poorer quarters OF
Philadelphia is perambulatins
merry go-round, which makes an in
slant nit. There is no doubt that the
merry go-round touches a soft spot in
the heart of every juvenile without
respect to nationality, and while this
is comparatively inexpensive en-
joyment for a great number of chill
dren, there are many in the larger
cities who never see such a thing or
whose parents are not in a position of
even sufficient affluence to indulge
their children in dissipation which
costs so much as a nickel The port
able merry go-round was designed to
afford amusement to this class ana
its mission has been fulfilled to such
an extent that the designer OF the
original machine has branche1 out n
the business of building these devices,
which are to be sent out over the
country soon on royalty basis. The
inventor has been recently granted a
patent covering the same.
The apparatus is much the same as
the large ones, and is mounted Oh a
low and substantial truck, with step
in the rear to permit the exit and en-
trance of the delighted youngsters.
Where stop is made on slopine
ground it is necessary to level the
apparatus, which is accomplished by
means of a telescoping rod fixed In
the front. Likewise in the I ont

somewhat crude construction, being
largely the handiwork of the inventor
and associates. The novelty proved
such an attractive one that it has
been decided TO make them on a
more elaborate scale, and, as stated,
they will be leased on a royalty il
much the same way as the hand-organ
business is done at the present time.
For this purpose a stile has been
added to the machine which is ar,
ranged TO register the number Of chill

OF the profits may be arrived at.

To Crush the Cotton Boil Weevil

" SIQSD tfiC SOllOH Dull WGSVls
Because of the great extent OF the
ravages of the cotton boil weevll and
the rapidly extending area OF its
operations, considerable attention has
been lately directed toward the ex,
termination OF that persevering pest.
There are some who contend that the
promises of the agricultural depart
ment made on behalf of the Guate,
mala ant, by which 1t is hoped to COM
bat the weevil, will not be materaliz-
ed for many reasons and all kinds OF
suggestions are being made with the
hope of finding some scheme for
Riding the country of the scourge OF

is to purge the fields regularly each

their propagation, thus keeping down
the number of the worms to the mimi

\ Texas inventor now comes to the
front with a machine with which he
hopes to crush out the national nuf

scheme he has the following to say:
THE weevil commences it's ravages
