WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unccasing Work Keeps Us Strong
And Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part
of this impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings on many dis
eases and symtoms-pain in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot,
dry skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel,
disorders of the eyesight and hear
ing, dizziness, irregular heart, de-
bility, drowsincss, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But if you keep
the filters right you will have nc
trouble with your kidneys.
G. K. Page, real estate and in
surance agent, of Corpus Christi,
Texas, says: Mr.. wife thinks a
great deal of Doan's Kidney Pills
and says they relieved the dull
aching pain i'll her back which had
given her considerable annoyance
for over year. They also correct
ed the action of the kidney secre-
tons (which had been rather irreg-
ular. Knowing this to be fact
I have no hesitation in endorsing
this remedy, and trust it may be
the means of helping others SINH
larly afflicted"

Clinton Normal.

To any one inquiring into the eter-
nal fitness Of things you would unhes-
itatingly say that the Clinton Normal
has in the equation of economical ex-
istence real and substantial fitness
in the educational improvement OF
those who have had the stamina and
earnestness Of purpose to go through
the entire term of four weeks. Even
to casual observer this Normal for
cibly stands for several important
benefits in Mississippi's school inter
ests. First, there has been an ear
nestness ON the part Of the students
that has manifested itself in good sol
id work and decided improvement.
Secondly, there has been displayed a
sterling integrity which guarantees to
the parents Of the future citizens OF
our state that due attention will be
paid to the formation Of noble charac-
ter without which no state can hope
to rise to its best.

Another Canal Change.

Oyster Bay.-It is not unlikely
that the administration affairs con-
nected with the construction Of the
Panama canal may be transferred
from the war department to the state
department. Since Elihu Root indi-
Gated his acceptance of the presi-
dents tender of the secretaryship of
state, the president has had the mat
ter of transfer under consideration
1t is known that Secretary Taft would
be quite willing to be relieved of the
responsibility attendant on the direc-
ton of the canal affairs. The ap-
pointment of Judge Magoon to be min
lister of the United States to Panama
in connection with his office of gov
ernor of the American zone on the
isthmus naturally suggests the desira-
bility Of placing both offices under the
direction of the secretary of state and
following this movement to its logical
conclusion, the secretary of state
would be naturally director of the af-
fairs Of the canal. Mr.. Root is deep
ly interested in the canal work and
already has devoted considerable
thought to it.

Baptist Convention.

The Baptist State Convention at
Tupelo was one of the most success
full ever held, although the attend
ance was not SO large as it would have
been had the meeting place been more
centrally located. The convention
heartily endorsed the action of the
Board Of Trustees of Mississippi Col
lege in authorizing President Lowrey
to take the field to raise a building
fund of $4,000, to make improve
ments in the buildings and equipment
Of the college, Great interest and en-
thusiasm was shown in the discussion
Of the college question and the dis
cussion showed that the question OF
higher education has warm place
in the hearts Of Mississippi Baptists.
The orphanage was also heartily en-
dorsed, and DR.. Carter's admlnlstra-
ton was warmly approved. The en-
largement Of the plant finds a ready
response in the minds Of its many
friends and supporters.

Loses Back Tax Claim.

State Revenue Agent Writ Adams
has lost his back tax claim against the
Jackson Electric Railway, Light q
Power Company, as-far as the Hlnds
county board Of supervisors is con-
cerned. At the session an order was
entered on The minutes of the board
dismissing the claim filed by the reye-
nue. agent seeking to assess the trac
tion company with capital stock o.
$500,000 for the years 1899, l90o;
1902 and 1903. The total taxes claim
ed for this period, for state and coun
ty purposes, amounts to about $3O,-
600, and the taxes alleged to be due
for the period since the original claim
was filed will amount to $4,000 The
board Of supervisors was of the opln-
ion that it had no legal right to as
sess the company's capital stock, and
the claim was dismissed. Notice OF
appeal was Immediately served, and
the revenue agent will carry the mat
ter to the courts. The claim will
reach the supreme court before final
adjustment. The state revenue agent
has pending similar claim for back
taxes against the company on behalf
of the city Of Jackson, in which the
amount alleged to be due to date Is

Price Enters Denial.

New York Theo. II. Price, the New
York cotton broker, declared that h
had no acqaintance with or knowledge
Of either L. C. Van Ripper or nj. Haas
from whom he is said in the report OF
the department of agriculture to have
received information concerning the
cotton crop.
Mr.. Price said that the Washington
report the leak of cotton statlstics
was complete surprise to him; thai
he had received no intimation freu
the department in any way that his
name had been brought into the mat
ter; that he had received no informa-
ton from Mr.. Holmes or the depart
ment in regard to any Of its reports.
directly or indirectly; that the alleg-
ed statement of Secretary Wilson, as
far as he has brought his name into
the matter only through the testimo-
ny of me Van Ripper, whom he did
not know and had never seen or pre-
viously heard of was untrue. That un-
til he was able to secure a fuller re-
port on the subject he could not make
his denial more explicit AMI that in
the meantime any paper mentioning
his name in the matter did so at its
own risk.
Counsel for Theo Fl. Price character
lied the reference to Mr.. Price in the
report given out by Secretary Wilson

Havana Mayor Suspended.

Havana. Gen. Nunez, governor OF
Havana province, has suspended Juar
O'Farrill, mayor of Havana. The rea-
son alleged is that the investigation
of the mayor and aldermen, begun
over year ago, developed probable
offenses by the mayor along the line
of unauthorized and improper expen-
ditures, permitting favored citizens tt
escape certain forms Of taxation ano
loose conduct of municipal affairs
None Of the aldrmen was suspended
and the friends Of the mayor point te
the significant fact that the majority
of the aldermen have just publicly an
nounced themselves as followers ol
Governor Nunez.

swelling in the neck and head of John
Craney, a young man residing neal

to thrice their normal size and has SC
interfered with his breathing as te
render an operation necessary to in
troduce air into the windpipe by arti-
fetal means. The case is puzzline
one to the physician in attendance. Il
is believed that Craney was bitten by
some poisonous insect.
