WHERE SLAVERY FLOURISHES

in Three Forms.

| Slavery exists quito openly throughout

among the natives themselves. domestic
slavery TO the Portuguese traders and

of slaves Is rendered easier by certain
native customs especially by the peculiar
law which gives the possession or the chill
drcn to the wlfc's brother even during the
lifetime of both parents. The law has
many advantages in polygamous coun-
try, and the parents can redeem their
children and make them their own prop
erty by various payments, but, unless the
children are redeemed the wife's brother
can claim them Tor tho payment of his

Dangerous Kidney Diseases

w HEN the kidneys become affected
w by catarrh. either from colds, over
work, or an extension OF catarrh from
some other organ. they fall to perform
their normal functions.
1t Is the work OF the kidneys TO ex-
crete from the blood many of the pois-
ons which accumulate In the body.
II the kidneys fail in their work. the
poleons accumulate to such an extent as

fatal.
