Weak


Cause more trouble than any other organ Of
the body. The function Of tho kidneys is to
separate inorganic salt and water in the pro-
cess of circulation, and to remove them and
their attendant pOisOns from the body through
the bladder. Therefore when the kidneys
become diseased and weak. they ara naturally
unable to perform their werk properly, and
pains in the back. Inflammation Of the bladder
and urinary disorders are.the result. It is
imperative that a prompt relief be afforded,
which is impossible unless you remove the
cause.

WILL GROW DATES IN TEXAS.
Experiments Prove Fruit Will Thrive
In the Rio Grande Delta.

San Antonio, Textile growing of
date palms for their fruit is a new and
rapidly developing industry along the
delta of the Rio Grande river in Tex
as. Experts from the department of
agriculture at Washington have made
exhaustive experiments in this sec
ton, with the result that they unre.
servedly advise the planting Of date
palms in a considerable territory that
soil surveys have found to be particu-
larly adapted to their growth.
This, with the exception Of a small
area along tho ella river in Arizona,
is the only section of the United
States where these trees do well.

SPLENDID APRIL TONIC.
Easily Prepared at Home and Harm
less to Use.

This is known as Blood Cleaning
Tine especially among the older
folks, who always take something dur
ing this month to clean the blood of
impurities and build it up.
The following is the recipe as given
by a well-known authority, and any
one can prepare it at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce,
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three
ounces.
Get these simple ingredients from
any good pharmacy and mix by shak-
ing well in a bottle. The dose is one
teaspoonful after meals and at bed
time.
Everybody should take something to
help the blood, which becomes impov-
erished and almost sour after the win
ter season, especially those who are
subject to Rheumatism, Catarrh, Kid
ney and Bladder trouble.
1t is said that one weeks use of this
mixture will clear the skin of sores,
pimples or boils.
This is sound, healthy advice, which
will be appreciated by many readers.

MOTHER GETS INCUBATOR BABY
Wins in Long Legal Fight for Child
Exhibited at St. Louis.

Topeka, Kan.-The Kansas supreme
court has decided that Mrs. Charlotte
b. Bleakley of Lawrence is entitled
to the incubator baby" exhibited at
the st. Louis worlds fair. This re-
verses the decision of the Douglas
county district court and upholds the
decision of the circuit court Of ILL
nois, which held that Mrs. Bieakley
is the mother of the child.
The baby was placed in an incuba-
tor by a st. Louis midwife after the
mother had been told it vas born
dead. There Mr.. and Mrs. j.. G.
Barley adopted the child and took
it to Illinois.
The fight for possession came about
when the mother brought suit to re
gain the child after she had formally
signed papers giving up her claim
to it.

The Land Made Famous by P%hilpotts'
Novels.

Philpotts has made us familiar with
romantic Devonshire, in his fascinating
novels, The River Children of the
Mist" etc. The characters are very
human; the people there drink coffee
with the same results as elsewhere. A
writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill,
Bideford, North Devon, states:
For 80 years l drank coffee for
breakfast and dinner but some 5 years
ago l found that it was producing indi-
gestion and heartburn, and was max
ing me restless at night. These symp-
toms were followed by brain flag and
a sluggish mental condition.
when 1 realized this, 1 made up my
mind to quit drinking coffee and
having read of Postum, l concluded to
try it. l had it carefully made, accord
ing to directions, and found to my
agreeable surprise at the end of a
week, that l no longer suffered from
either indigestion, heartburn, or brain
flag, and that l could drink it at night
and secure restful and refreshing
sleep.
"Since that time we have entirely
discontinued the use of the old kind Of
coffee, growing fonder aud fonder Of
Postum as time goes on. My digestive
organs certainly do their work much
better now than before, a result due
to Postum Food Coffee, / am satisfied.

In 1870 there were two increase val
nations, one of $50, 900, 900, 900 in cur
rency and one of $4,000, 900, 600 in
gold, then at a premium.
1t is a common fact that, emitting
the decade 1860 to 1S70-a period
marked by lessened productivity due
to the civil war and by a loss due to
to the emancipation of slaves-the an
hual increase of wealth per family
has been almost uniform. That in
crease for the decade 1850 to 1860
was $3.50; for the &c years 1870 to
1890, $1S4, and from 1890 to 1904,

nearly $4,000, OOO, 900; clothing and
personal adornments about 81, 500,-

1t has long been recognized that
taxes increase faster than population.
The relation between tax levies and
wealth has not been generally observ.

report is shown that in % years from
1880 the calculated tax rate based
upon the census estimate of true value
increased only two cents on 500.
In the final period covered by this
report the revenue receipts of the
national, state and municipal govern
