Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble. because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ming in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild

MUST CANCEL STAMPS
WITH DEPARTMENT INK
Postmasters Throughout United States
Are Threatened With Dismissal If
They Use Another Sort

Acting Postmaster General Wyane
has been compelled to issue an order
making It a prime offense for postmas-
tiers throughout the United States to
use any other ink than that furnished
by the department for cancellation Of
stamps and letters.
It has heretofore been the custom for
the postmasters to make their own pur-
chases Of any kind of old ink. = AS q
results there have been many COM
plants Of blotting and other faults of
printing IN the cancellations. It is also
limited that in some cases there have
been small "rakeoffs."
The order reads that hereafter all
postmasters must use the ink furnished
by the Postofice Department; should
the order not be obeyed the offender is
TO be removed.
THE cancellations" said an officer Of
the department today. have been COM
ing in in every known color from red and
yellow to black. Some ink can be re-
moved very easily by stamp washers.
as a certain class Of forgers are called.
and by this means the Government could
be robbed Of many thousands of dol
lars before the fraud could be discover
ed. The ink furnished by the Govern
ment cannot be removed by these GRIM
inals.
THE matter seems small. but is I'm
portant. All postmasters in the UnH ed
States are included IN the order"
The POstofiice Department uses two
barrels Of ink in all Of its divisions
daily.

BULLS AGGRESSIVE
ON MANY ISSUES
Some Notable Advances in
Railroad List.
STRENGTH OF TWO ROADS
Northern Securities Decision Gives I'm
ion and Southern Pacific an Ad-
vance of Several Per Cent.
STRENGTH OF TWO ROADS

NEW YORK, July 15.-There was
more or less irregularity at the opening.
Copper opened down y on fairly heavy
trading, but made up the entire loss on
nominal transactions Louisville and
Nashville was strongest Of the active
list, selling up q with unusual activity.
St. Paul and Metropolitan Street Rail-
way were up q. The rest of the market
tluctuated slightly.
London again gave the stock market
good support The market was irregu-
lar with half a dozen issues strong and
aggressively bulled, while the majority
of the list was reactiOnary. Yesterday 5
buyers Of Amalgamated Copper have
been the principal sellers today. Vest
ern houses have been inclined 10 sell all
the granger stocks. The strength OF
Louisville and Nashville and Norfolk
TO buying orders given out BY G. q.
Gates & Co. Ontario and Western was
a feature Of the market under what
seemed TO be continued long accumula-
ton
Traders sold the stock heavily at 297s
in expectation of an enormous supply at
30 The bond market has been indiner-
ent; prices were, on the whole, steady,
but without important fluctuations. Gov
eminent bonds unchanged.
London bought about 1900 shares on
balance The market developed strength
all around during the second hour, prln-
cipally because Of small offerings. The
decision in the Northern Securities case
caused an advance OF over 3 per cent In
Union Pacific, and nearly per cent IN
Southern Pacific.
