OF all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, kidney dis
ease is the most fatal. In fact, unless
early and correct treatment is applied,
the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs Pink
ham. early in her career, gave exhaust
i've study to the subject, and in pro-
ducing her great remedy for woman's
ills - Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound-wasc careful to see that it
contained the correct combination Of
herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles.
The Vegetable Compound acts in har-
mony with the laws that govern the
entire female system, and while there
are many so called remedies for kidney
troubles. Lydia E. Pinkhams Vege-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. arrangements of
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backache, bearing down pains,

Nov, when I am drawing the larg.

odd to remember that for my first
appearance l drew $50 a week. 1t
was Tony Pastor who met me at q
friends house and to whom I con-
fided my desire to go on the stage.
He said he'd give me position at
once. Then l thought of my mothers
disapproval; but Mr.. Pastor sug-
gested that | come down in my ordi-
nary attire, sing a few ballads, and
even then l could get back home be-
fore anyone missed me. It was a
great temptation and I agreed. In
order to keep it a secret, took the
stage name of Lillian Russell-my
own was Helen Louise Leonard; but
there was mother to be considered.
For two weeks I went unsupported,
and then a newspaper man said pleas
antly to my mother: You ought to see
Lillian Russell that English girl down
at Pastors Can you see me in a
cold sweat? My mother went down
to the performance; I hurried home,
and reached there before she did;
then I waited in terror until she ar
rived. She came in, looked me over
and said well, think you can af-
ford to pay for your own music les

Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found per-
manent use in so many homes is that it
contains no narcotic of any kind. Peruna
is perfectly harmless. 1t can be used any
length of time without acquiring drug,

results. 1t is permanent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,

The Christ of the Andes.

The women of Chill and Argentina
are said to be largely responsible for
the fact that those two countries are
not now at war with each other. For
seventy years they have been quarrel
ing about their boundaries, but lately
they agreed to arbitrate the dispute.
They signed a permanent treaty of
internal improvements the money
they had meant to spend in fighting,
and set up on the disputed boundary,
fourteen thousand feet above the sea
level, a colossal bronze statue Of
Christ. made from the metal of old
cannon, and now known as the Christ
Of the Andes.
That this triumph of the principle
of arbitration was due to the efforts
of the women Of the two countries
has been recognized by the Pope, who
has sent to the Society of Christian
Mothers, the leader in the movement,
a modal In honor Of their distin-
guished service in the cause Of peace.
The Csar, too, has sent them re-
quest for a full account OF the Christ
Of the Andes. The Society of Chris
tian Mothers Is going to send him

written on white satin in gold letters,
and doubtless IL will accompany its
gift with prayer that it may bring
peace to the distracted country OF his
Russian majesty.

Lawyer For Defense Gives Reasons
Senator Should Retain His Seat.
Washington, Jan. 2s. n Arguments
for the defense were made in the
Smoot investigation before the senate
committee on privileges and elections.
Waldemar Van Cott, of Salt Lake
opened with a discussion of the charge
Of interference by the Mormon church
in the political affairs Of Utah. Justi-
fication for the Mormon church en-
gaging in business was offered by Mr.
Van Cott by citation Of the case Of
Trinity Church in New York as one
that owns a vast amount Of property.
AS reasons why Mr.. Smoot should
retain his seat Mr. Van Cott gave the
following:
That Smoot could not have secured
the legislature without the aid Of the
Gentle voters; that he opposed the
Evans bill, which was vetoed by the
governor; that he encouraged the state
superintendent in driving religion
classes out Of the public schools, and
that he was not a polygamist. He then
made the declaration that If Mr.. Smoot
should be unseated It would solidify
the MOrmons more than ever.
