DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?

That troublesome pain in the small of the back points straight to kidney sickness. Backache will not leave of its own accord, nor will sick kidneys cure themselves Every day of neg lect makes the cure harder.
 Inactive kidneys cause irheumatism, neuralgia. gout. headaches, dizzy spells. nausea. indigestion, weak heart, gravel, stone in the kidneys, dropsy and too frequent passages of urine.
 When you first feel pain in the small of the back, or first notice anything wrong with the urine. don't delay Q moment Give the kidneys the help they need.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have quick and direct action on the Kidneys. They drive out the poisons that infest the blood, cleanse and stimulate the kid neys, regulate the urine, cure hack ache, dizziness and languor, and per manently heal the Kidneys.
 The best proof we can offer of the great merit of Doan's Kidney Pills Is testimony of residents of this city who have used the remedy.
 WATERBURY PROOF.
 James Dews, of S3 Hospital avenue, says:
 "Doan's Kidney Pills are 6ne rem edy and can most highly recommend them. I suffered considerably from severe pains through my loins and across my kiyneys, more severe during changeable weather 'ur when I caught

COST OF THE BRIDGE TABLE.
Social Diversions in Englsnd-Hard
 Lot of the Younger Sons.

Nothing ever happens nowadays, says the London Tribune, except Tn the police or divorce courts. The ar1sto- racy have lost all interest ili politics; they are not very keen even on sport. They live nowhere, for they are al- ways in their motors, and 8 chronlcie of their movements would be ns com plicateG and as u1interesting as Brad- shaw. Worst of all, they have been re- duced to nsignificance-they cannot strike out in any original line for l themselves because they are so terrl- bly, poor.
 l Of course, the first and largest cause of this poverty is notorious : agricultural depression" Many nobleman who can travel perhaps TOT a hundred miles without leaving his own estates is scarcely 50 rich as q 1 successful manufacturer, and nothing ] like so rich as the South African nag mates in Park Lane. On the top of this I depression comes the stress of cOmpe- tition with the new aristocracy of ! wealth, who assert their right to dom-
 mate society by dint of gigantic ex-
 trayagance.
 To complete the ruin, some mali
 cious person must invent bridge. Has I 1t ever occurred to any one to try to
 calculate how much money is dropped
 at bridge by society ladies in year!
 It is not by any means an exaggerated
 estimate to put the number of persons
 who are in society today at 20.OOO,
 and out of this number 1t is n still more modest computation to reckon that there are 12,O00 ladies playing
 bridge every night in the year. Allow
 ing for deductions on the score of oc-
 casional good luck, we may safely put
 down F night as the average loss
 of each of these ladies. That gives us
 almost f0,OOO,OOO lost at bridge by wo-
 men in the course of year.
 It can be very plausibly objected
 that, if most lose still some must wifi
 and win enormously; but money won in this way seems to do no one any
 good. It does not pay the dressmak
 ers' bills or the servants wages. ol

roo ExrRAvAGANr WOMEN.

roo EXTRAvAGANT WOMEN
 Charles Dana Gibson once made a picture called Too Extravagant Wo- men," which excited no end of com ment not only because 1t marked a different note in the, artists creation which had hitherto been confined to sweet tall goddesses and iron jawed young men but because It touched a vital issue in modern social abuses. The thing showed the head a beauti- full woman, heartless and soulless in every feature, floating top of a pool while from the waters of the pool stretched forth the imploring hands of men who had sunken in It's depths still vainly seeking the object which has wrought their woe. There Is I great similarity in the idea of the drawing and the plot of Clyde Fitch's satire, 'The Climbers which the Poll stock company Is presenting at the East Main street theater this week. The resemblance lies not in that an ex. trayagant woman causes the tragedy of the play but that the spirit of the spendthrift, the social climber, and the righteousness of society people, in the real sense are the causes of the uttel ruin of the men and women in 1t Strange as 1t may seem Mir Fitch has written terrific excoriation of moderr smart set folk in the piece and the les son of Dick Stirling's wretched If,
 and his miserable death without tn,
 hand of a friend to comfort him be cause everyone feels suicide is abou
 the best thing he can do to square him self with what the creed of his peopl
 designate as "honor" Is a striking one
 There is no sparing the genuine cad
 dishness of American society in it
 gluttony of mind and body, it's insen sate chase after money, and It's abso

PROTECTING THE ZEAL.
Tho Government is Waking Up on
 This Important Question.

This Important Question.
 Washington, D. C.. July 9.-An eff fort is to be made to make the seal an American citizen. This is not to- be done absolutely, but technically. In the present circumstances. the seal |-the fur-bearing seal-has little protection. He is preyed upon in his migrations and gradually Is becom- ing extinct. It Is realized by the United States government that the seal must be protected in practical way, If large interest of the gov ernment is to be retained. From this situation arises the proposition to make the seal an American citizen. Years ago, with Alaska, the United States acquired two islands in the North Pacific ocean known as the Probilof Islands, the islands taking l their name from their discoyerer. They are the breeding place of the Pacific herd of fur-bearing seals. The United States paid Russia $7,500.000 for the islands. taking over with them the seal herd, which, at that time, was estimated variously at from A. 900, ,000 to 7,000,000. This govern ment permits the North American Commercial Go to take seals on the Pribilof Island under certain restric- tions. The number of seals taken leach year by the company Is regu- lated according to size of the herd. For this privilege the company pays the United States government hand somely. Indeed, the receipts of the government from the North Ameri- can Commercial Go and It's predeces- sor, the Alaska Commercial Go, since the acquisition by the government of lthe Pribilof Islands, have aggregated about $9,000,000. The expense of inspection and guarding the seal herd has amounted to about $500,000, so that the government has received an amount $1.000,000 greater than the islands originally cost 1t.
 The North American Commercial Co is permitted to kill seals only on lthe islands, and the limit of the skins taken each year now is 15,000. It has been demonstrated by experts in seal llI6 IudL luc ScdlS hlllCu Oh tuO islands do not diminish seriously the number in the herd, but notwith- standing that demonstration the seal herd, from year to year, has grown smaller until now 1t hardly exceeds 100000. The diminution in the herd is due to the depredations on the lherd by pelagic sealers, that is, men who intercept the herd in the open ocean as it is making it's semi-annual migrations. and kill the seals right and left. It is certain that more than 50 per cent of the seals thus killed sink and are not recovered by the sealers. The pelagic sealers, too
 kill the females as we'll as the males and for every female killed in such circumstances 1t has been shown that three seal lives are destroyed. the
 female herself. the pup which Is on the island unable to care for itself
 and the unborn seal carried by the female. Tn time it is certain that pelagic sealing will result in the ex' Termination of the seal herd.

TIME FOR STUDY AND SLEEP.
Number of Hours by Which the Bes,
 Results are Obtained.

Mothers know that the newborn infant must sleep about twenty-two hours, and that this amount Is so slowly lessened that the child still demands twelve hours when 1t Is about 12 years old. It is quite likely that the normal amount is not re- duced to ten hours until about IS years of age or perhaps until 21 years. Nine hours may be required until we'll along in years.
 To let boys of l4 sit up until 10 o'clock and then rout them out at 6 is nothing short of criminal, but 1t is a long established custom. Lower animals can be quickly killed by de-
 priving them of sleep-the boy is not killed, but perhaps he is so exhaust ed that he loses resistance to disease. Medical students not infreQuently make the same mistake. forgetting that a tired brain never absorbs any thing. The midnight oil frequently represents wasted time and money and the student sleeps during the next days lectures when he should be wide awake. A good test of ex- haustion is the tendency to sleep dur ing a dry lecture--and this is no joke.
 Experience has proved that those who retire in time to sleep at least nine hours, and occasionally ten, get far more out of the course than the "grinds." Some of the best men habitually take ten hours. Theoret- ically a student should be as fresh at the end of the term as at the be- ginning-the vacation is for another purpose than sleep. The whole sub feet. though very old. is so new to the laymen who do the damage to school boys. particularly In boarding schools. that there is urgent need of
 wider publicity and much discussion for enlightenment Not only will
 proper sleep permit more to be gain- ed for less effort. but it will prevent | the exhaustions which SO frequently l follow school courses.
 Physicians might teach mothers that it is harmful to waken in the morning naturally. If they are not in time for school they do not retire
 early enough. If they are sleepy heads 1t is either the fault of the parent or the result of ocular defects There is much comment upon the lsrge number of midshipmen who fall at the naval academy in course 1 not worse than In many colleges. 1t Is suspected that they would do better if they had ten hourse sleep.
