Weak Kidneys

1t Is of but little use to try to doc
tor the kidneys themselves. Such
treatment Is wrong. For the kid
neys are not usually to blame for
their weakness or Irregularities.
They have no power-no self-con-
troll. They are operated and actu-
ated by a tiny shred of a nerve
which Is largely responsible for
their condition. IL the kidney
nerve is strong and healthy, the
kidneys are strong and healthy. If
the kidney nerve goes wrong. you
know it by the inevitable result

This tender nerve Is only one Of
a great system of nerves. This sys-
TEN controls not only the kidneys,
but the heart, and the liver, and

DR.. Shoop has called this great
nerve system the Inside Nerves"
They are not the nerves of feeling

with the others, that weakness any

Gradually the ring following be-

limited one. First it was 25
rounds. Then 20 rounds were set
as the limit, and still the crowds
turned out in great numbers to see
the battles.
But even in the 20 round battles
there was more or less waiting on
the part of the fighters who were
saving themselves for the final
burst of speed at the finish.
Usually the last two or four

"The Heir to the Hoorah" will
be given its first local presentation
at the Spokane Tuesday and We'd
nesday. The new piece is announc-
ed as an American comedy in four
acts, by Paul Armstrong. THE
Heir to the Hoorah" is neither
farce nor melodrama, though it
combines some of the qualities OF
each as they are understood in
American dramatic nomenclature.
1t is a western play and all four
acts take place in interior scenes.
The hero of the piece is Joe Lacy,
a miner and typical rough diamond,
one of a trio of chums who have
seen hard days in their quest for
gold, and who have finally been en-
riched by the Hoorah mine. Joe
goes east, marries society girl
with a mama, takes them both back
west in a private car, and realizes
after a little that the comic papers
are not so very far wrong in their
descriptions of the much berated
mother in law.
Joe has done a handsome thing
by the girl when he married her,
and Mrs. Joe, being we'll establish
ed in this worlds goods through
her marriage settlements, the mo-
Their in law takes Joe in hand and
sets about nagging him into a sepa-
ration from his wife. His crudities
of manner and speech afford the
old lady abundant material for her
purpose and before long it is a
case of "Betsey and I are out"
After Joe and his wife have parted,
an heir to the Hoorah mine is born,
and through the baby eventually, of
course, the couple is brought to-
gether again.

LAND PATENTS HELD UP.
Forty-Two Thousand of Them Are
Stored Away in Vaults

Forty-two thousand patents 20 land
in the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations
are lying in the vaults of the commits
sion to the five civilized tribes in Mus
kogee, duly executed by the governors
of the two nations, approved by the
secretary of the interior and ready for
delivery. The commission is holding
them under instructions from the sec
retary of the interior and the tribal
officials assert that the secretary is
delaying action in hope of getting au-
thority from congress to take the de-
livery of these deeds out of the hands
of the governors of the tribes and have
the work done by government Off
cials. The patents have been a bone
of contention between Secretary Hitch
cock and the Indian governors for
more than year. The Curtis bill. as
now pending, provides that the deeds
shall be delivered under the direction
of the secretary OF the interior to the
party entitled to receive the same"
and if this clause becomes a law as 1t
probably will in short time, it will
do away with all claims on the part of
the governors to the right of making

This frank and open publicity places
these medicines in a class all by them

merits. They cannot be classed as patent

being of EnOtCn composition.
DIR. Pierce feels that he can afford to
take the afflicted into his full confidence
and lay all the ingredients of his medi-
cines freely before them because these
ingredients are such as are endorsed and
most strongly praised by scores of the
most eminent medical writers as cures
for the diseases for which these medi-

afflicted do not have to rely alone upon
DIR. Pierce's recommendation as to the
curative value of his medicines for GER

English Eaa.Layina Contest.

Consul Daniels reports from Shelf
field novel egg-laying competition at
the Lady Warwick Ladies Agricul-
tural College. The conclusions reached
are that breed does not govern SO
much as the laying strain or families
of breed highly developed as egg pro-
ducers. The pen of four Buff Orping-
tons led from October 10th to Novem-
ber 10th by producing forty-nine eggs,
and again on November 18th to Decem-
Der 18th with 120 eggs. One thing
the present competition shows is the
little help it is to birds to be what
show enthusiasts call beautifully
Marked" for as often as not it is the
ordinary looking competitor, birds a
show judge would laugh at, that have
the biggest total of eggs to their credit
In the winter laying competition what
stands bird in good stead is not that
it's father was the winner of a medal,
but that its mother and grandmother
were wonderful layers, and that it's
male parents also came from good
laying strain.

When we say cottin is king, what do
we mean? Cotton was once king of
the crops, says ellison Willets in Les
lies Weekly. 1t is so no longer Wheat
is now enthroned. Though the cotton
crop for the last year was 13,654,02S
bales Cotton Exchange figures). the
wheat crop Of the year exceeded the
cotton crop in value by more than
00,000000. But wise men say that
King Wheat is pretender, tempo.
rarirly crowned. and that cotton will
soon again resume rightful place as
king of the crops. The world depends
upon this country for clothes. Clothes
mean principally cotton. 1t is natural,
then since this country is the principal
grower of cotton, that our most valu-
able agricultural export should be cot
ton. OF cotton we have practically a
monopoly; and it is the only crop of
which we have such monopoly; that
it is, indeed, the only staple crop of
which any nation has anything ap.
preaching a monopoly. Then there's
the still growing trade in the far East.
How may that trade ultimately help
to reseat cotton as king? Mr.. WI Ting
Fang, as minister at Washington, said:
IF every Chinaman in China should
add one inch to his shirt tail, this alone
would consume the whole American
cotton crop"
