envy the fly-wheel in the Machinery

olutions minute. The best that San
to Domingo has done of late is three
revolutions in a year and half. In
May, 1902, Gen. Juan Isidro Jiminez
was turned out of the presidency by
Gen. Horacio Vasquez in success
full revolution; last March Gen. Vas
quez was overthrown by Gen. Alejan-
dro Woz Gil; and now Gen. Gil is
opposed by Gen. Jiminez. The New
York Tribune gives the following in
formation in regard % the insurgent
general: s.
''The report that Gen. Juan 1sidor
Jiminez has been proclaimed presl-
dent of the Dominican republic. by the
insurgents fighting for possession OF
Santo Domingo, the capital, was some
thing of surprise to his compatrlots
in this city. 1t has been known since
Jiminez left mere a. few months ago,
for Porto Rico, that he was anxious
to return to the Office from which he
was deposed by Gen. Horacio Vas
quez, about a year and a half ago.
In fact he resigned the place of f1s-
cal agent of Santo Domingo to the
United States and Europe, to which
President Woz y Gil had appointed
him, that he might be free to take
part in a rebellion and return to the
presidency 1t was + not expected,
however, that his hopes would be real
lied, as Gen. Carloss Morales. gov
ernor of Porto Plata, former priest,
who started the movement, has also
aspirations for the place. Another
reason for believing that Gen. Jiminez
would not again become president was
the opposition to him Of the Vas
uuez element ssSe#
Gen *Jiminez, before his appear
ance as an 'insurrecto, was a mer-

president of aSanto Domingo on the
overthrow of President Heureaux in
1898, although as in the present in

an exciting ride on the back of huge
bull moose 40. miles north of there
Campbell and three others were hunt

they came upon the moose. Campbell
mounted its back with single leap and
away went the terrified animal through
the thicket and brush. Campbell, who
had anticipated no serious danger from
his performance, chung desperately to
his position on the animal, which after
a wild run of mile or more plunged into
a slough, where the moose sunk to it's

An EVIL IN FOOD THE LAW
s-,~SH0UID~REACH.

IN reference to the use Of alum bak-
ing powders Prof. Schweitzer, OF the
state University Of Missouri, says:
"The deleterious effects OF alum and
the soluble salts of alumina upon the
human system, even when used IN
small quantities, are too well known
to need relating; their use in baking
powder is dangerous. and should be re-
stricted.sS sgesa*S. #saeseaS sass Y.
The effects OF the continuous use Of
alum baking powders are thus summed
I'm in medical publication -
"Alum taken into the stomach re-
tards the digestion of the food.
at is an irritant which inf1ames ana
,rr,tates the stomach and intestinal ca.
nal
at Is an astringent and tends to con-
stipate the bowels, which inter1eres
with digestion.
at renders the albunen OF the food
nartially inso1uble, and therefore takes
away from its nutritive value.
sIt is absorbed into the blood. which
II tends to thicken and coagulate. The
free flow Of the blood through the or
CANS of the heart Is thus retarded.
ats continued absorption into the
system causes some forms OF nervous
prostrations and many of those anec-
tions of the nerves from which Dotn
women and men suffer. 7sa3 :.
Fourteen grains Of alum have caused
the death of a child. Larger doses have
frequently resulted fatally In the case
Of adults. ''''}t

Whitehall, ILL.,, Dec 7.--A case has been

acts the theory Of many physicians that
Bright's Disease is incurable. It is the
case Of Mr.. Lon Marley, whom the doc

four or five years l had Kidney, Stomach

and at times I would get down with my
back 50 bad that 1 could not turn myself
in bed for three or four days at a time.

told me had Bright's Disease, and that
could never get well. I commenced to
use Dodd's Kidney Pills and ] am now
able to do all my work and am all right.
I most heartily recommend Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and am very thankful for the
cure they worked in my case. They
