The headaches and dizzy feelings

The headaches and dizzy feelings that trouble so many persons. are often but symptoms of kidney com plaint.
 Kidney diseases are very treacher- ous. They come on silently, gain ground rapidly, and cause thousands of deaths that could have been pre- vented by treatment in the beginning.
 Nature gives early warnings of every disease, if you would but note and heed them. Backache. twinges of pain when stooping or lifting. head aches. faint spells and urinary dis orders are among the first warnings of kidney trouble.
 If these signals are unheeded. there comes a steady. dull, heavy aching in the back and loins, a noticeable weakness and loss of flesh. rheumatic attacks. weakening of the sight. ir- regular heart action. langour. attacks of gravel. irregular passages of the kidney secretions. sediment. painful. scaIding sensation. dropsical bloat- ing. etc.
 But there is no need to suffer long. Deans Kidney Pills cure all kidney troubles. This remedy has made . reputation for quick relief snd lasting cures. It is . simple compound of pure roots and herbs that have a d. rect action on the Kidneys. It vas

 Before any one could reach him the bishop had fallen to the floor. He was carried by a policeman into the ferry house. from which he was taken to the ambulance.
 This is believed to be the second stroke which the bishop has suffered.

 His Position to Them. . CINCINNATI, Dec. 12.-That Presi- dent Roosevelt owes his exalted posi- tion to her husband and herself is the remarkable statement made by Mrs. Bellamy Storer. wife of the former ambassador to Austria.
 "My husband and created President Roosevelt" said Mrs. Storer in an in terview regarding the controversy be- tween her husband and the president. She added:
 Tt seems hardly worth while to pay any attention to the attacks Presi- dent Roosevelt has chosen to make up- on myself and husband. No one knows the truth better than President Roose- welt. will say that the friendship between the two families has been of long standing and of the closest na- ture.

 The tone of the republican press of all shades indicates that if the pope lmagines that an uncompromising att titude will compel the French govern. ment to open negotiations with the Vatican he has woefully mistaken the temper of the people. who favor more hostile rather than a more conciliatory attitude.
