HEALTH BAROMETER.
Some Simple Methods of De-
termining the Presence of
eriousDiseases in the Body.
Key to health.

Key to health.
The urine is an unerring indicator OF
bodily health.
Exhaustive scientific study has devel-
oped the fact that through the urine 1t IS
possible to largely determine the disease
with which the victim is afflicted.
For instance, scanty passages of dark
colored or cloudy urine containing red
dish or white sediment is an infallible
sign of kidney trouble and should be
given quick attention. If neglected the
absorbent vessels which gather up the
liquids of the body to be expelled as
urine give way and allow the water to
back up and spread itself through the
inner cavities of the body, ultimately
poisoning the whole system and produc-
ing a condition known as dropsy.
Frequent passages of large quantities
of urine, colorless and of sweet odor in
dictates diabetes.
The presence of albumen in the urine
is an evidence of Bright's Disease.
Bile in the urine is warming that the
liver is torpid.
These several irregularities of the urine
prove conclusively the existence OF a
disease of serious import to the victim.
The safe course is to begin treatment as
soon as its existence is known.
Prick1y Ash Bitters exercises a highly
beneficial influence in the kidneys and
urinary organs. It quickly arrests the
progress of the disease, strengthens the
kidneys and organs which have to do
with the urine SO that they can fully per-
form their duties of keeping the body
free from uric acid poison and other i'm
purities.
Prickly Ash Bitters has earned arepu-
tation that puts it beyond comparison
with other remedies designed for kidney
and bladder ailments. Its record rests
upon the marvellous success that has fol-
lowed its use wherever it has been tried.
Many physicians praise Its emcacy III
diseases of the kidneys and urinary or.
gans, although they are opposed to pro-
prietary remedies as class.
ST can recommend Prickly Ash Bitters to be
the best kidney medicine in the world" says d
R. Robinson, Jelks, Mo. Thousands OF others
from all parts of the Union give willing testimony
| as to the great curative powers of Prickly Ash
| Bitters for urinary. liver and kidney troubles.

in getting plenty of shoves on the
way. Every few feet you will find
some alleged friend who will give you
a gentle lift that will increase your
speed. But when you start up the
hill you will have to do most of the
work yourself. Occasionally you will
find some one who will lend helping
hand for few seconds, but as a gen.
eral thing you will have all the pulling
to do yourself. The reason is that it
is lots easier to run down hill than to
run up. Friends are always ready to
help You when there is no work.
When the hour of toll comes they
vanish like the night. The thing to
impress on your mind is: Never start
down hill. Always look up. Try to
think that at the top of your hill isa
rainbow with bag of gold at its foot.
Even though you seem to never reach
the top, you will be happy in the try.

The Poverty Death Of TOna
FrOude.

There Is heartache in the life
story Of Tom FrOude, poet.
Just why Genius and Poverty
should go hand in hand no man
can tell. It is true. Those who
have sung the sweetest songs have
known hunger and worn rags,
says the Memphis News Scimitar.
Point to a great poet, painter,
composer Of music, in this or any
other age, and how seldom will
you find the moneybags.
1t is said that men must suffer,
feel, in order to touch the hearts
Of the people. Perhaps that ID
the penalty Of genius.
Anyway, Tom Froude was 9
poet. He sung cheer into the
hearts Of Europe. He had been
soldier, and he was dubbed the
"Soldier Kipling."
He wrote poems by the hun
dred. Queen Victoria visited
him, and one Of his poems was
published by special request Of
Prince Christian. He could paint
words, could Tom Froude, and
his "Memory's Garden" is a story
OF love that is tender and true, and
closes with the sweet refrain:
No flowers on earth are half so rare
AZ memory's garden grows.
The pratical side: Tom Froude
went hungary in his last days.
The world simply forgot him.

here ever since. Some editors belong
to church and some try to raise
whiskers. All Of them raise hell in
their neighborhood and all Of them are
liars-all know, and only know one.
Editors never die. ut least never saw
one dead. Sometimes the paper dies
and then people feel glad, but some
one starts it up again. Editors never
went to school because editors never
got licked. Our paper is mighty
poor one, but We take it so ma can
use it on our pantry shelves. Our
editor doesn't amount to much, but

oh, where would we be when we were
from 81 900 to 100000 behind? There
are many other reasons. but what is
the use.
They all get it. A man from the
state capital, who had had job under
the last administration, died and in
due course of time arrived at the
pearly gates. He had been consis
tent Christian, an honest upright man
and had at all times voted the ring
ticket. Having knocked for admis-
sion, the gate was opened and he was
required to give his name, former
residence, etc. When he admitted he
was from Jackson, Peter Immediately
informed him that charges had been
filed against him and pending an in
vestigation he would be consigned to
purgatory. That was some months
ago and the investigation is still on.
