Kidney diseases cause more deaths
than any other human affection. This
is because they come on SO silently,
and are. therefore, neglected.
When the kidneys are we'll, they re.
move from the body every day nearly
one ounce of uric acid and other pois-
onous waste.
When the kidneys are sick, this poi
son, is carried by the blood to every
part of the body. It causes rheuma-
ttsm, govt. neuralgia, sciatica, gravel,
stone in the kidneys. heart disease, in
digestion. diabetes and Bright's Dis
ease.
Doan's Kidney Pills act promptly
and give complete relief, because their
influence is exerted directly upon the
diseased tissues. This medicine has
been curing sick kidneys for u years.

ORDER OF RECHABITES.
Enthusiasm Aroused by Mrs. Hender-
sons Application for Membership.

There was great enthusiasm in the Recha
bite ranks during the past week over the
receipt by High Secretary Cordell of an
application for membership in Onward Tent
No 1921 from NSs. Mary Foote Henderson,
who is spending the summer at Bar Har-
Dor, Maine A tent of the order was named
for her husband, ex-senator John b. Hen
derson, early this year and now that she
has decided to identify herself with the or
ganization there is much rejoicing in the
house of Rechab.
High Secretary Cordell, in discussing the
matter, said:
'"rhe order has the liquor problem solved
If it can enlist the support of few more
men and women like the Hendersons. Our
platform is moral suaslon, contending that
the only way to make any permanent prog
ress is to teach the people that they are
committing a crime against themselves and
the community by INDUCING in intoxicants
The reason other temperance organiZa-
tons make but little progress Is that they
make a fight the saloon keeper direct
instead of persuading his customers to quit
drinking They join anti-saloon crusades
and seldom go to the drinking man to urge
him to discontinue the use of intoXicants.
They spend their money in organizing con-
ventions to take a hand in politics instead
of caring for their weak members.
The Rechabites do not spend their
money for lawyers or conventions. That's
the reason they today have over SS,O0O,O0O
for the benefit of their membership
In making application for membership
Mrs. Henderson Wrote
Il shall be very glad to join the Onward
Tent-and am always much impressed with
the good work you are all doing. l some
times wonder if the churches do more or
as much in comparison to numbers"
About sixty members of Onward Tent
met in Rechabite Temple Wednesday even
ing. Miss Mary Ford was elected to repre-
sent the tent on the committee to make ar
engagements for the High Tent session In
October. The committee banner re-
ported that about $50 had been donated for
the purpose
Mr. w. l.. Griffin of Perseverance Tent
No. 1898, occupied the chair under good
and welfare" Remarks were made by j.
T. Rolf and others. Visitors were present
from Eastern Tent, No. 49, and Purity
Tent, No. 4.
Tuesday evening Harmony Tent, No. 1920,
received four candidates into membership,
one of whom, Mr. Lambert D. Lyles has
been consistent Rechabte for thirty
years He is connected with the city gov
eminent of Alexandria, Va.
Welcome Tent, jr., had an initiation Tues
day evening under the supervision of Mas
ter Ellis Allison. The boys are making ar
rangements to hold lawn party near the

CRIMINALS ADVERTISED.
They Often See Their Own Pictures
and Read Descriptions

1T IS not an unusual thing for persons
who are wanted for crime To their
own pictures printed upon police cir
culars,' remarked detective to Star
reporter. Many persons who have looked
At their own photographs under such cir
rumstances though not in custody at the
time. and who read of rewards offered for
their arrest. have afterward been appre
hended and brought to justice. Such was
rue in the case of Frank Funk, the muir
ierer. but the photograph from which the
cut had been made was taken years prior
10 the time he committed the murder and
ne thought he would never be recognized
~ reason of any likeness the circular bore
% him. Funk travelled from place to place
md even went so far as to call the at
tention of others to the circular.
But like all other smart people" the
detective continued, there was a sure
mark of identification that Funk was care
less about, and he was finally captured.
After being brought back here the prisoner
boosted about his travels and of how he
had exposed himself to the view of police
and others. Funk never thought he
would pay the extreme penalty of the law,
and late as the day before his eXecu-
ton ne made IA bet that he would not die
upon the SCdffOld.
Il recall another case in which a man
who was wanted was "A telegraph operator.
and the police We're anxious to get him
because of his social standing prior to the
time that he went wrong. Information
reached here that he was in a New York
,ity and message sent to the police
there to have them lookout for him. The
fugitive read the message il reg
istered in the telegraph station and left
the city.
The most recent case in which n fugitive
from this city had the plea of looking
upon his own likeness printed upon a cir
cular" said the detective was Simon
kupfirbirg, the man who tried to swindle
the Washington Traction and Electric
Company. When he was arrested in st.
Louis last week he talked freely about
the descriptive circulars. kupfrbirg spent
some time at the worlds fair where he
was In business. He saw photographs of
himself in the police exhibit and often
looked al them as though he enjoyed il.
When he was arrested he laughed at the
police for not arresting him long before
they did.
But with him the detective concluded,
the result was the same as it is in most
similar cases the best laugh came last
and he did not do the last Laughing"
