A Menace to Health.

Kidney trouble is an insidious

of a serious malady before the
symptoms are recognized. Foley S
Kidney Cure corrects irregularities

THE people generally take
kindly to the candidacy of Mr..
Lenroot for Governor. and why
should they not? He has all the
qualities that go to make up a
man of executive ability. The
TIMES believes in him and does
not hesitate to express an honest
opinion that he will received the

ticket, which will mean that he
will be elected.
NOTHING has been heard from
Washington touching the ques-
tion of who is to be appointed
postmaster here. The candidates
are all IN the air, so to speak,
and is possible that the ap-
pointment will be held up for

IT is said that Judge Parish is
still considering the question OF
of being car didate FOR Justice

suggested that he become a can

the fight.

LAST Sunday was the twenty
fifth anniversary of the organi-
zation of the Christian Endeayor
Society. No special services
were held in this city. Twenty
five years ago, Feb. End, 1881, in
Williston church Portland Maine,
a little band at young Christians
under the leadership of their
pastor Rev. Francis E. Clark
started a movement that has
during the quarter of century
of it's existence become world
wide. Little did the founders
of this first society realize that
in the short time Of 25 years
there would be 67,231 societies
scattered throughout the whole
world. and with over three mill
ion members. All nations and
all colors are represented. y
The purposes of the society
are varied, as it's motto will in
dictate. For Christ and the
Church. One of the strong
features of it's work is in mis-
sions and their support. An
other branch of it's work is in
penitentiaries, the first prison
society being organized in our
own Wisconsin in the year 1890.
The same year was organized
the first floating society and now
great many ships of our navies
have Christian Endeavor So
cieties.
In the NUM- Der of societies, the
United States leads the world
with more than $4,000, with
Great Britain as second with
over 10000. Canada and Aus
tralia have each about 1000 and
even heather China has $40.
CANDIDATES for the different
city Offices should bear in mind
that all nomination papers must
be fled with tie city clerk not
more than fifteen and not less
than seven days before election.
Election day comes on April Bird,
and according to a decision OF
the Supreme Court in fling pa
pers the number of days are to
be computed by excluding the
first day and including the last.
According to this thenall papers
must be filed not later than
Tuesday. March 9th.
The number of signers re.
ouired will depend on the num-
Der of votes cast in the ward in
which you live at the last gener
al election. If less than 80
votes were cast in the ward then
there must be not less then ten
signatures on the, nomination
paper. Ifmore Than $50 votes
were cast in the ward then there
must be at least 20 signatures.
No person can sign more than
one nomination paper for the
same Office, however he may sigr

2. @. simmons Of Kenosha, Wis, heard
his country's call in 1851 TO save It's life.
Ipe was 80 years old. full OF energy, and
doing we'll in material ways. But when
he tried TO enlist in the army the sur
Reons said he was not we'll enough or
strong enough to be a soldier.
Denied the opportunity to OFFER his life
on the battlefield 70 keep all the stars In
Old Glory's azure field. he determined 70
do what he could. Week by week, and
month by month, and year by year he
set aside a portion of his income for the
nation. giving Il not as a tax exacted by
law but voluntarily. He was active in
caring for the families OF men In the neld
and for the men themselves when they
came back sick or wounded.
II he could not be a soldier himself he
could at least help soldiers. And he did.
not only while the war was going on. but
ever since. For forty-five years he has
been known as one whose hand was open
TO every appeal from or In behalf of any
man who had worthily worn the blue
coat OF the republics lighting mon. and
especially to the soldiers OF the great
war in which he was not permitted TO
hight
And apparently the more he gave the
more he had to give. The more he spent

he prospered. He was able to be a large
contributor to the monument which the
Grand Army of the Republic erected to
Or Stephenson, its founder. He was able
to spend $4,000 on medals for soldiers, and
SIS 900 on a memorial TO the soldiers OF his
own county, in addition to countless pcr-
sonal benefactions whose total Is unknown
but certainly runs into scores OF thou

Ten or twelve years ago he began TO

Mr. Simmons Is now II, and promises 10

nual birthday party given in honor Of
men who went to war by a man who
couldn't go, is a leading event OF his COM

known and highly honored citizen.
All Of which proves that because a man
cannot do precisely what he wishes in the
way he wishes is no reason for giving up
his purpose. In 1851 2. G. Simmons wished
to do something for his country. He could
not do II in one way, but he did not give
