PASSING OF THE CHINESE,
How Nature Is Solving Problem of the

How Nature Is Solving Problem of the
yellow Peri1' in America.
In fifty years-perhaps less than
fifty. if the present laws remain in eff
feet and are rigidly eXecuted-the Chi
neSe population of the United States
will become practically extinct, says a
writer in the Worlds Work. From
1890 to 1900 they fell away from 1885,
IlS to 119,0oO, a decrease of nearly
5000. or more than per cent. In the
fiscal year ending June so. 1905, more
than 1000 voluntarily left the port of
San Francisco for the land of their
birth. the total deported and returning
voluntarily being 1920. A very large
majority of these Cinnamon were adj
yanced in years and went home to die
A generation ago there were i'll San
Francisco from 10000 to 10000 China
men. The Chinese Consul General
there told Inc that, counting men, wo-
men and children, there are now not
10000. The same prOpOrtionate de-
crease IS seen in other places. 1t
should be borne in mind that the total
number of Chinese now in the United
States includes 26,761 in Hawaii and
BIG IN Alaska. so that, at the begin
ing of this decennial period, there
were living in the United States prop
er only $4,000. a generation ago there
We're at least 100000.
According TO the most liberal esti-
mate there are not more than 80 le-
gal Chinese wives in San Francisco.
But the number of Chinese women is
estimated at between 1000 and 1000.
The main adult population is male,
is unmarried and is rapidly approach
ing old age. Thus by 1880 or 1910 the
main Chinese life in America will have
become extinct.

a Wonderful Discovery.

Broadlands. s. D., April 17.-Quite :
sensation has been created here by
the publication of the story of @. W
Gray, who after a special Treatment
for three months was PROSTATE and
helpless and given UP to die with
Bright's disease. Bright'S disease has
always been considered incurable, but
evidently from the story told by Mr.
Gray, there is a remedy which will cure
it, even in the most advanced stages.
This Is what he says:
L was helpless as little babe. Ny
wife and | searched everything and
read everything we could find about
Bright's disease. hoping that | would
be able TO find a remedy. After many
failures my wife insisted that | should
try Dodd'S Kidney Pills. | praise God
for the day when l decided to do so.
for this remedy met every phase of
my case and in short time | was able
to get out of bed and after a few
weeks treatment l was a strong, well
man. Dodd's Kidney Pills saved ms
life"
A remedy that will cure Bright's dis
ease will cure any lesser Kidney dis
ease. DOdd's Kidney Pills are certain

PLANTS GO INTO MYSTERIES,
Harsh Treatment Causes Them to Act
Like Highly Nervous People.

According to an expert in the
botanic gardens at Washington, recent
experiments there tend to confirm the
theory that plants are possessed of
nerves and that some species are irrita-
bic and nervous to a marked degree
The genus mimOSa comprises about
200 species and most of these exhibit
peculiarly irritable natures if touched
or handled in the wrong way. The

for the most sensitive of all plants.

1t appears that the exciting noise or
cOmmOton strikes the nerves OF the
plant and causes it to close up or
drOOp its leaves. Hundreds of Sensf-
tive plants have been diagnosed in the

EVERY ONE ASKS HIM
HOW HE GOT RID OF HIS OBSTINATE
MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM.
Mr.. Jones Tells of the Way by Which He
Treated Himself Successfully
When Doctors Failed.

Treated Himself Successfully
When Doctors Failed.
Six physicians, all of them good, one OF
| them a specialist, had done their best
| for Mr.. Jones at different times during
three wears, and still he suffered fear
fully from the tOrtures of rheumatism.
The rheumatism that had been dor
mant in his system was suddenly
brought to an acute stage by exposure
while he was drawing ice i'll February,
1901. From that time OH for a period
of more than three years he was con-
slant sufferer. He tried many kinds Of
treatment, but the rheumatism wouldn't
bulge. When regular doctors failed,
and one remedy after another proved
useless, many said: 81 should think he
would give it up and save his money"
Of his condition at this time, Mr..
Jones says: "My rheumatism started
in my right thigh, but in time it ap-
peared i'll every muscle of my body. L
lost the use of my left arm en-
tirely and nearly lost the use of my
right one. My feet were badly affected,
especially the bottoms of the heels.
When my right side was affected there
was swelling, but the left side didn't
swell when the disease settled there.
The internal organs didn't seem to be
involved at all. The trouble was all IN
the muscles and the nerves"
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr. Jones to think that q cure might
yet be found was friend who had rea-
son for great confidence III DIR. Will

advice he bought box of them III Sep
