Unless early and correct treatmentis
applied the patient seldom survive
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is the most efficient treat
ment for kidney troubles of women,
and is the only medicine especially
prepared for this purpose.
When woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequert t,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices brick
dust sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia E. Pinkham.s Vegetable
Compound, as it may be the means OF
saving her life.
For proof, read what Lydia r. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound did for Mrs.
Sawyer.

had to endure. A arrangement of the female
organs developed nervous prostration ard q
serious kidney trouble. The doctor after ded

Joy going to 'leg shows" especially
if they think it will not be found out.
The same class of curious people en-
joy hearing Smutty and indecent lam
guage used, and when it comes from
man licensed to preach they think
that will atone for much. The same
language used by a common preacher
on the street would insure his speedy
arrest; but many people like to hear
this foul talk If they can form a rea-
sonable excuse for attending. The pas
sions of the people who claim to be
at the top of the heap in society are
Just about the same as found in the
low and groveling, and for that reason
for the excitement of the occasion
they attend. 1t is question with
very many people whether such talk
does not do great deal more harm
than good.

THE OLD HOME.
tu,rd;n County Citizen.I

fHardin County Citizen.J
We go back to the home of our
youth and a thousand recollections
come back to the mind and a thousand
memories cling and cluster about the
heart. No matter how humble and
lowly the scenes OF that olden home,
they bring back culver of the heart
and a thrill of the soul. They bring
into contemplation the sublime and the
beautiful.
Somehow. we wander aimlessly
about, and there was the old swim
ming hole, now gone, gone forever,
there was the prairie where we gath
cred strawberries on the. hill, gone,
gone forever there was the grape and
plum and tangled Wild wood. the de-
light of boyhood days, now gone, gone
forever; there was the olden herd
ground, where with boyish glee each
day we drove the COWS to and fro, now
gone. gone forever, and thus we wan
der from place to place.
Somehow. in those mystic days Of
youth and childhood the hills were
larger. the hollows deeper, the sum-
mers longer, the skies higher the hor-
lion broader, the creeks larger than in
the time of mans estate. There was
room for the imagination and dreams

THE PEACE SITUATION.

Three rocks, the sllallop of peace at
Portsmouth is having, extreme difficult
ty in weathering. Apparently the hug
est and most threatening of all is the
question Of indemnity. Limitation of
Russia's naval power in tie Pacific
comes next and the surrender of the
Sakhalin, which has been refused to
Russia is of minor Importance to the
three principal conditions over which
the peace ENJOYS seem to be -implac-
ably at variance. siakhalin is already
Japan's and It's cession merely a mat
ter of form.
The crux Of the situation seems to
be the payment of indemnity to which
M. Wvitte plainly asserts the Russian
will never consent, but the mere fact
that Japan has pressed the question of
indemnity forward as the leading issue
might lead to the suspicion that the
main point of Russian naval limitation
may be strategetically concealed be-
hind it. A billion which Japan need
not and doubtless does not expect
would in the long run, look cheap be-
side complete japanese naval supre-
mary along the Asiatic coast.
At the showdown it is not unlikely
that the indemnity will dwindle to a
nominal sum if Russia will concede
the limitation Of her navy and the sur
render OF the interned vessels. Jap
an aims at supremacy over eastern
Asia. Opportunity to grow, to colonize
and command means more to her than
present payments. When Russia is
ready to give up sakhalin. her intern
ed wanships and her hopes of domi-
mating eastern Asia she will be able to
trade.
