PERIL OF TOO MUCH GOLD.

The following startling article from
. 'The Gold Flood and It's Problems"
by ]. Pease Norton, in the American
Review of Reviews for January gives
the American people something new
TO think about in the economic world.
Norton says:
That high prices exist, there is no
question. All average price levels,
whether English or American, show
in eight years more than so per cent
Increase. In other words It requires

MEN, NOT CATTLE.

The ambitions of Pierrecourt, the
Frenchman who tried to stimulate
race of giants. have not been realized.
says the Spokane Chronicle. After
all, the majority of men and women
would rather select their own mates
than receive rewards for submitting
to other peoples dictation in that line.
Pierrecourt left a will in which he
offered $4,000 each year to the big
gest and heaviest couple that would
marry. He was desirous of increas-
ing the size Of the human race, and
to establish a race of giants in France.
He had planned without taking into
consideration the temperament of the
people.
The human race is not trying to de-
velop into a lot of big. we'll fed ami
mails. The controlling force Of the
nation is brain power, and it is large
ly to its development civilization Is
working. Size and strength and
health are three things to aid in at
tanning the worlds ideals. That is
the reason modern education is work.
ing for stronger men and women.
Pierrecourt failed, as every other
man will fail, who tries to produce
men and women on the same plans as
cattle. People choose their life COM
panions in spite Of conditions. Some
times the choice is not made wisely,
but It is certainly .the unwise who
would accept the Frenchman's offer.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause OF Your
Troubles. A Cresco Cifizen
Shows how to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all others symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is just where the
danger lies, You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Bright's disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t cures
all ills which are caused by weak or
diseased kidneys. Cresco people tes-
tify to permanent cures.

Cresco and Riceville. says: 81 knew
