Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible
for many kinds of diseases, and if permitted to-
continue much suffering and fatal results are sure
to follow. Kidney trouble irritates the nerves,
makes you dizzy, restless sleepless and irritable.
Makes you pass water often during the day and
obliges you to get up many times during the
night. Unhealthy kidneys cause rheumatism,
gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain dull ache
in the back, joints and muscles; make your head
ache and back ache, cause indigestion, stomach
and liver trouble, you get sallow, yellow COM
plexion make you feel as though you had heart
trouble; you may have plenty of ambition, but
no strength get weak and waste away.
The cure for these troubles is DR.. Kilmers
Swamp-Root, the world-famous kidney remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural heir
to Nature. for Swamp-Root is the most perfect
healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that is
known to medical science.

WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different
kinds Of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties of baking
powders on the market, viz: (D Min.
eral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid OF
Phosphate, and 90 Cream Of Tartar
made from grapes. 1t is important
from the standpoint of health, to know
something about these ingredients, and
which kind is used in your baking
powder. h4> =
~ Mine,'al-Acid, or Alum. is made
from kind Of clay. This is mixed with
diluted oil of vitriol and from this
solution a product is obtained which
is alum. Alum is cheap; costs about
two cents a pound, and baking powder
made with this Mineral-Acid sells from
10 to CSC. a pound.
~ Bone-Acid, or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to large manu-
facturer of phosphate powder. The
U. s. Patent Office Report gives a full
and exact description, but the follow
ing extract is enough:
Burned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil of
vitriOl and with continual stirring
and in the following proportion"
etc.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 20 to 80 cents pound.
80 Cream of Tartar exists in all ripe
grapes, and flows with the juice from
the press in the manufacture of wine.
After the wine is drawn off the tartar
is scraped from the cask,, boiled with
water, and crystals of Cream of Tar
tar, white and very pure, separate and
are collected. It differs in no respect
from the form in which it originally
existed in the grape. Cream of Tar
tar, then, while the most expensive, is
the only ingredient that should be used
in a baking powder to act upon the
soda, as it's wholesomeness is beyond
question. Cream Of Tartar baking
powders sell at about 40 to so cents a
pound.
Such are the facts, and every one,
careful of the health of the family,
should remember this rule:-Baking
powders selling from 10 to Is cents a
Pound are made of Mineral-Acids:
those selling from 20 to 80 cents Of
Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to so
cents of Cream of Tartar made from
grapes.

so per cent. of the Hessian flies before
they reach maturity, and in some years
a greater per cent. are thus destroyed.
Still, Notwithstanding this great reduc-
ton by parasitic insects and also by un-
favorable climatic conditions, these in
sects frequently become unduly numer-
GUS and consequently destructive. 1t is
not only because Of the economic i'm
portance of. these parasites of the Hes
sian fly, but also because Of the fact that
otherwise the cultivator would not as
rule be able to distinguish them from
the Hessian fly itself, that we have
thought best to give an illustration of
the more common species of these para
sites found in this state. A glance at the
illustration shown will go much farther
toward acquainting the average agri-
culturist with these insects, and of en-
gabling. him to recognize and separate
them from the Hessian fly, than any
amount of description would do; and
hence we will not enter into description
of each species.
=. ut should be observed that the Hes
sian fly has but one pair of wings, the
second pair being represented by
slender club-like rudiment; while in all
the parasites there are two pairs of
wings, the first pair, however, much
larger than the second pair. In one spe-
cies, Baetomus subapterus, the insect
is frequently found without wings at all.
Although the Hessian fly and it's vari-
Gus parasites look alike to the casual OBJ
server, the above facts will enable one
to note the difference, If followed with
little close observation and sharp eyes,
especially if one be provided with
hand lens"

The following extract from one of | the reports of Dr. Gorgas shows what science has accomplished within the | past few years in its fight against yell low fever. It demonstrates most ! lclearly that there is no reason why a community should entertain the fear
 and dread of yellow fever that the dis | ease at one time inspired At the present time the spread of the fever can be arrested as easily and as effec tually as we prevent the spread of smallpox. I dwell particularly on the yellow fe- yer phase of our vital statistics, on account of its vast practical import ance to the United States. The great | truth that yellow fever is transmitted by the "Stegomyia" mosquito, main- tained by Dr. Charles Finlay against
 much ridicule for so many years, and recently demonstrated by the Army
 Board, must soon change all our meth ods of quarantine in the United States. In Havana thIs year we have worked upon the hypothesis that the mosqui- to is the only way of transmitting the disease We have not considered fo- mites in any way. Clothing has not
 been disinfected nor any effort made. except to kill the mosquitoes which had bitten a sick person and to prevent any more mosquitoes from biting, after the case was discovered. Our results with this plan were so positive. that We soon saw that we could not only rid
 Havana of yellow fever on these lines, but that we could destroy each focus
 as 1t was renewed from the outside. The bushes interests of Havana
 were so closely united to those of neighboring towns that it was impos- sible to quarantine against them with out causing entire business paralysis. These towns, early In the year, showed Ic,u fy,Fo a S,F inspection of on-immuneS was adopt ed, whereby every non immune coming to the city from infected points in .the neighborhood was kept under ob- l servation for a week. Tn this way we
 have managed to get hold of all cases
 coming from these points,-some 15
 or 20 cases.
 Foci have developed in the city in
 each of the months of July. August.
 and September, but they did not get beyond a few cases, and invariably dis appeared after a disinfection, as above described.
 The practical application % this
 great truth, made in Havana this year. will within a few years, it seems to
 me, be carried out by our Southern cit les liable to yellow fever. It seems to me, that if in Havana, where yellow fe- yer has been epidemic for 150 years,
 and where at the present time there Is
 non-immune population of some | where in the neighborhood of 10000 people, we can not only get rid of vel low fever, but have free communication
 with half dozen infected towns in our
 neighborhood, and yet prevent the in- troduction of the disease. then all our Southern cities ought more easily to do the same thing.
 At present, when a case of yellow | fever is reported, the Chief of the Dis l infection Department is at once noti- 1 fed Noes to the house and requires l those interested to designate the apart
 ments in which the patient is to be quarantined. and these apartments are

The auctioneer alternatelS roars and entreats, the people elbow each other and climb over each others backs; even the furniture helps the noise by grooming and shrielktng as il Is drawn into view.
 The types are almost as numerous as the people, for those who have the auc, ton habit are apt to be interesting ir some way. and crowd of interesting people Is worth watching. There are young wives who are determined te furnish their homes we'll and cheaplY trembling old men who hope to buy { chair or a picture that Is dear because of its association; sharp-eyed con. noiseurs who often know the values ol antiques better than the auctioneert small dealers who buy regularly, and few idle persons who are fascinated by the magnetism of the aucti0neen But as different as these people are ia appearance, they have the one deslrt to find a bargain, they want something for next to nothing.
 The auctioneer Is, of course. the CtHlEdA I1S ID dOObS SuC ICGt by the height of the chair on which he stands and also by his superior quick, ness of wit and readiness Of tongue. 4 good auctioneer must be an expert "hypnotist," a keen detective, some. thing of a comedian and a ready bust. ness man.

A constant flow of ex. planation, exhortation and humor keept people from thinking. and the price if raised by them recklessly if they ars goaded on and not allowed to think.
 Most crowds are good-humored though occasionally the auctioneei meets a bargain hunter who is easily angered and who makes trouble unlesi he is quickly silenced. At Q certaiH sale some years ago a local auctioneel had occasion to hope that the United States would annex Cuba, because thea we would get real Havana cigars and not up-country stogies. A man in hia audience seemed to think that the re. mark was intended to insult him. and he requested the auctioneer to come out of hls chair. that he might get sat. isfaction from the face of the said auc. tioneer.
