year than last, partly because severe
weather commenced earlier this year, re-
sulting in the earlier closing of several
lines Of employment. and partly because
there is an unusual amount Of sickness
among the poor The agents of the assoc
citation are all excessively busy, and there
is heavy strain upon the treasury. The
finance committee, through Col. Archibald
Hopkins, chairman, is sending out this
week additional appeals for financial help

INDEPENDENTS
 BABY CONTEST

Here is the proposition and the rules governing the contest:
 There is handsome $25. % 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 1 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.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp- toms is the Prime Cause of so Many Deaths from the Dreaded
 Bright's Disease.
It is Easily Durable in the Early Stages.

Kidney diseases are so destructive to human life because they do not manifest alarming symptoms until the constitu- ton is seriously weakened and the strength exhausted. Then, too often, the remedies employed by many physi- clans are of indifferent or doubtful value, and the patient rapidly sinks under the disease. The wisest course is to apply a reliable kidney and liver remedy on the first abbearance of the symptoms. A little uneasiness in the small of the back, digestive troubles, bowel irregularities and disorder in the urinary organs are matters of small moment in the estima- tion 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 Priclly Ash Bitters at this time would prove of incalcu1able value in restoring the weakened organs to health. An investment of one dollar in a bottle of Priclsly Ash Bitters when the disease is yet in the early stage will save hundreds of dollars ill 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 eficacious in 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 innu- merab1e. /
 Accept no substitute. Insist on having
 the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the large figure in rcd oil the front label.

HAMBURG BELLE HURT.
Great Three Filly Said to
Have Broken Down.

There was a report current at Morris
Park yesterday afternoon that the great
three-year- old filly Hamburg Belle, the win
ner of last years Futurity, had broken
down in workout yesterday morning at
Sheepshead Bay. 1t was said that the in
jury was in the pastern joint. and that it
would result in throwing the flly out of
training, IL not permanently. at least for
the present season.
Sydney Paget. who since leaving England
has acted as an agent for James B. Haggin,
and in whose name Hamburg Belle ran
last year. would neither deny nor confirm
the report when seen at Morris Park yes
terday. Il do not know why should make
public the secrets of my stable he as
serted. III she has broken down certainly
would not tell you about 1t.
Hamburg Belle has been prepared especi-
ally for the Brooklyn Handicap. and on
her form last year. was considered de-
cided factor in the Brooklyn Jockey Clubs
fixture. She was handicapped by Mr.. Vos-
burgh at 102 pounds.
The Ally is still owned by James B. Hag-
gin. although Paget, as the California turf
mans agent, has charge Of her engage
ments. She Is by Hamburg-Isiac, and was
unquestionably the best two-year-old FLY
of her year. That she was not put up at
auction at one of the sales managed by
Paget was due to Jack Joyner's inter-
cession. Her manager wished to sell her
after her first two races at Aqueduct but
her trainer objected and she was kept in
tho stable on sufferance.
When she started In the Futurity and
won 1t. Mr.. Higgins agent, 1t is said. was
much opposed to starting her. and 1t was
only on A. J. Joyners advice that she was
sent to the post.
