WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong
And Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part
of this impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms-pain in
the back, headache, nervousness,
hot, dry skin, rheumatism, govt,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight
and hearing, dizziness, irregular
heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy,
deposits in the urine, etc. But if
you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.
G. K. Page, real estate and in
surance agent, of Corpus Christi,
Texas, says: My wife thinks a
great deal of Doan's Kidney Pills
and says they relieved the dull ach-
ing pain in her back which had
given her considerable annoyance
for over a year. They also cor
rected the action of the kidney
secretions which had been rather
irregular. Knowing this to be a
fact have no hesitation in endors-
ing this remedy, and trust it
may be means of helping others
similarly afflicted.

sheds HIS SKIN ANNUALLY.
Mine Superintendent Exhibits a Peculiar
Freak of Nature.

Philipsburg. Mont, Aug. IA
John H. Price, superintendent of
the Gold Reef Mines, has just fin
ished shedding his skin. 1t is a
peculiar piece of natures work,
the cause of which the medical pro-
fession has so far been unable to
explain.
Some years ago, by special re-
quest, Mr.. Price went to Chicago,
where eminent physicians from all
over the world were in session, but
no solution of the cause of the
phenomenon was obtained.
The shedding of the skin of Mr..
Prices entire body is complete, in
Guiding the nails on his fingers and
toes. The process lasts from three
to FIVE days. At its approach Mr..
Price becomes quite Ill, has high
fever and the skin over his entire
body apparently dries up.
AS soon as the new skin has
formed underneath, which usually
requires two days, the old skin
peeis off and Mr.. Price feels re-
juvenated, with a skin as tender
as that of a babe.
Until the new skin hardens Mr..
Price is obliged to exercise much
care to prevent its breaking. Since
coming to Montana over 80 years
ago Mr.. Price has shed his skin
annually at this time of the year.

No Money for Stories.

To have told stories for four years in
order to amuse an old man and then to
find compensation had not been provided
for was the experience of Capt. Lewis
E. ljams of Bloomington. III. He was
engaged as a companion for Abram Bro
kaw. Bloomingtons eccentric millionaire.
1t was his duty to keep Brokaw in a
happy mood. AS Brokaw was worth
about $2,000000, Capt. Iiams thought
he was safe in accepting the unique post.
Last spring Brokaw died. When his
will was read it was found Capt. Ijams
had been ignored completely. Capt.
Ijams appealed to the heirs, but was
given chilly reception. He then filed
a suit for relief, asking $4,000 1t de-
veloped during the trial that Capt. Ijams
was forced to stand between Mr. Brokaw
and many undesirable visitors. 1t was
also shown that Brokaw was DESTROYS
of marrying again and had made love
to Miss Eliza 1jams. the sister of Capt.
Ijams. Both Capt. Ijams and his sister,
it is declared, advised him not TO enter
tain thoughts of marrying again at his
age. 1t was also the duty of Capt.
Ijams to KEEP at a distance women who
had determined to secure an audience.

A Petticoat Victory.

Woman's influence scored victory
over political pull in the fight for the
postmastership of Narberth today. when
it was announced that John 4. Caldwell.
deputy in the office of the treasurer Of
Montgomery county, had withdrawn
from the fight for the position in the
face of the strong opposition of almost
the entire female population of the town
against his candidacy.
The battle was started three days ago
when the resignation of Miss Elizabeth
Ketcham, the present postmistress. was
announced. Caldwell at once announced
himself as a candidate for the office, and
he was opposed by the women Of the
town, who advocated the appointment of
E. G. Hawley for the place. The WON
en- said Hawley would give more time to
the office than his rival and they began
an active campaign for their candidate.

by an overwhelming majority, for the

GREAT COOK is DEAD.
Nine. Begue of New Orleans, Queen of
Culinary Art.


Mime. Elizabeth Begue, the queen of the
culinary art IN New Orleans and owner
of the celebrated Begue restaurant.
where poets, painters, novelists, diplo-
mats and even rulers of the people have
been entertained at breakfast for thirty
years, died at her home in New Orleans,
aged 20 years. The name Begue (pro-
nounced Begay) das been associated with
the highest expression of epicureanism.
Nine. Begue was born in Bavaria. She
came to New Orleans in 1853 as Miss
Elizabeth Kettenring, and in 1877 she
was married to the man who assisted
her in the preparation of the meals which
made both of them famous. No person
of wealth or position could afford to
miss one of Nine. Begue's breakfasts,
which were copied the world over.
She would often be found bending
over a hot fire putting the finishing
touches to the dishes her patrons would
come miles to enjoy. and only during the
last five months did she abandon her
work.
The quarters occupied by Nine.
Begue's restaurant are old and lack mod
ern .conveniences. She served only one
meal, and that was a breakfast at II
O'Clock, which usually lasted for nearly
three hours. Only the plainest table
ware and glasses were used, and the
drinking water was placed ON the table
in ordinary claret bottles. Only person
of reputation and ability could success
fully offer such poor surroundings, but
the deliciousness and originality of her
dishes, counteraeted what was lacking
in display.
Among the celebrities entertained at
Begue's restaurant was Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth and others included the late
Eugene Field, Frederick Warde, Louis
James. Julia Marlowe, Lewis Morrison,
Henry Clay Barnabee, Sol Smith Rus
sell, Jennie Wild and scores of others
equally as famous.
