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.
1t 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 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 estirna- 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 incalcu1able value in restoring the weakened organs to health. An investment of one dollar i'll 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 Prick1y Ash Bitters is not confined to the first stages of kidney disease. It is equally ef6cacious in severe or chronic cases. Physicians have used it as last resort, in cases that dehed their best efforts, with the most brilliant results, and it has shown it's superiority over the many so-cal1ed kidney cures, now being loudly advertised, in instances innu- merable.

Donneliy and Hatfield Minstrels.

l It is always a pleasure to an- nounce the coming of the Don- nelly and Hatfield Magnificent Minstrels which appear at the opera house Saturday, Nov. IS. Theatre-goers of this city have learned to rely upon the promls- es of the managers of this organ ization and people have come to realize that the Donnelly &sHat- field Minstrels are just little better than the Donnelly & Hat field posters and the show, in fact, is just a little greater than the words that attempt to DOT tray the merits of the organiza, tion. It could not be otherwise under the personal direction of Al. G. Field.
 This show always affords gen. uine entertainment. The melody of it's popular songs havesspre- ceded 1t into this city, for it's songs have been whistled throughout the country. These poE ular song hits are offered in the first part. It is said that the color scheme and the effects" of the latter surpass anything of the kind ever presented in min strelsy. And it is claimed .asits good humor and melody run over at the side.
 Many feature acts are on the program. One of the entertain ing acts is the "Darktown Cir cus,' a burlesque upon the most popular of Americas amuse- ments, the circus. While one counts five the audienceGis intro duced to all the accessories and atmosphere that go to make a typical one ring circus. AThe en- tire company of forty people take part in this act. The scen- cry is both gorgeous and realist- ! ic This act is relieved by the "Toledos," impersonators of animals, reptiles and amphib- ious monsters. They give feats of contortion and acrobatic ability.
 Where the moonlight Falls" shows miniature landscape with 8 full moon and ripping waters, where company of dar- kies gather and do a series f dances. There is a monelogue by Tommy Donnelly and mu- sical 'fete" by Crawford and Filming. The Tuscano Brothers, Roman axe manipulators, will make their first American ap- pearance with this company. These gentlemen balance. juggle and throw rude Roman axes. While Old Glory Waves dis closes a series of spectacles rep resenting the varied career Of America in arms.
 The managers of this popular organization have made the vocal music of their splendid enter tainment one of it's chief feat ures. Some of the best black faced comedians in the business have joined their forces. 15-18

she had secured employment in the

buddhist Bells.

In an article on Some Remarkable
Old Chinese Bronzes' writer speaks
of the thumblike projections ON the
temple bells as being for the purpose of
adjusting the sound. Many Chinese
and japanese bells have similar projec-
tons, but In every one of them these
are above the sound bow OF the bell
This would not be the case IL the above
theory were correct. An educated Jap
anese gave me another reason-to wit:
Once upon time Buddha was so en-
crossed In his meditations that he did
not observe the suns beating down on
bis bare head. The snails, seeing his
plight, covered his scalp with their
slimy bodies and prevented his having
a sunstroke. Since then Buddhist bells
that were cast had these twisted pro
tuberances, while those of beaten metal
have been covered with small convex
bosses.-Forest and Stream

1t was easier for him TO obey than tc

There was much sickness in the town
that fall-a malignant spotted fever,
highly contagious-and one by one the
poorer portions of the town were put
under quarantine. Then one evening
Halstead helped what he thought to be
a drunken man to his home, and the
next day the man came down with the
fever and within a week was dead.
Within an hour after HaIstead heard
this he was on his way to the woods for
what he said was to be few days
hunting. In reality 1t was to watch
himself
One morning before people had begun
to appear on the streets he staggered
to the sidewalk outside the fence Of his
sisters home, where Kitty boarded.
Mary. Oh. Nary he called Then
when his sister appeared at the door:
Don't come any nearer. You know

the pleasure Of carefully studying the

Of American birds. The bIuebirds were
models of good behavior not only

birds were kept In cages and with
moderate amount of care and attention
