Whisky as an alternative to wine may undoubtedly be employed medici nally with advantage in certain cases both for men and for women. But this Is very different from the constant recommendation which Is suggested, as If, indeed, doctors regard whisky as a sort of panacea for every disease un' der the sun, and take a perfect delight n urging Its consumption upon thell patients. As a matter of fact there never was time when medical men were more slow to prescribe the use ot alcohol in any form than they are ir the present day, nor time when SC many refralned from advising its use at all.-Hospital

 J. W. Strong, a retired veteran ot 5O6 Ohio street, Bellingham, Wash. says: up to three years ago l had never suffered from any form of kidney complaint. About that time l moved up the Columbia river to Whatcom Lake and three monthe after locating there began to notice symptoms of kidney trouble. The first was a dull aching pain across the back and which finally got so bad that was unable to get out of the house at all. Changes ot positions were accompanied with severe twinges of pain and the kidney secre- tions were dark in color, and contained a heavy sediment and passing was ac- companied with pain. 1 think all this trouble was brought on by drinking im- pure water while living at Whatcom Lake. However true that may be procured box of Doan's Kidney Pills, took them according 10 directions and was completely cured of my trouble. About a month ago l had severe st- tack of the grip and was afraid this would bling on kidney trouble again but there has been DO symptom of re- curreuce. am satisfied that the cure Is permanent

 One of the Inconsistencies of mem- bers of eongeress and others in author ity who proclaim their freindship tor Alaska from ths house tops, but who continue to make this district an anom- Aly h American government ty with holding Its right to make its own laws is the constantly iterated and reiterated d,mAnd that AlAsksns ''get together and decide upon what they want" as . condition precedent to legislation for them.

NEW YORK LIFE Is
oUsTED From STATE
vandiver Makes Good on His Ulti'
matum to the Company Old
Policies Not Affected.

JEFFERSON CITY, Nov. 9.-The New
York Life Insurance company was
last night ousted from doing business
In the State Of Missouri, it having
failed to meet the requirements laid
down by the insurance commissioner,
W. d. Vandiver, one month ago.
These requirements were that Presi-
dent John A. Mccall, vice-President
Perkins and the financial committee
resign and that the s14s.0O0 contri bu-
ted to the Republican campaign fund
be restored to the company.
In his order Mr.. Vandiver says that
he does suspect and believe that the
funds OF said company have been Inn
paired by the diversion Of large sums
Of money for illegal and wrongful pur'
poses, and that the further continua'
tion Of the said New York Life Insur'
ance company In the writing Of life in
surance In this State, under its pres
ent management, is hazardous to the
public and those holding its policies
Therefore, /, W. d. Vandiyer, super
intendent Of the insurance department
OF the State Of Missouri, have this daJ
suspended the certificate OF authority
heretofore granted to said company q
do the business OF writing life insur-
ance In this state"
The action of the commissioner will
not impair 10 any way the policies
now outstanding in this State. L
only prevents the company from doini
any new business until the order Is re
voked.
