Are You Sure Your Kidneys are
Well?
Many rheumatic attacks are due
to uric acid IN the blood. But the
duty of the kidneys is to remove
all uric acid from the blood. It's
presence there shows the kidneys
are inactive. Don't delay with
"uric acid solvents. You might
go on till doomsday with them,
but until you cure the kidneys
you will never get we'll. Doan's
Kidney Pills not only removes
uric acid, but cure the kidneys
and then all danger from uric
acid is ended.
Rupert B. Calvo, bookbinder,
employed at The State Publishing
Co., official printers for the State
of South Carolina, living at 1910
Lumber St., Columbia, s. c., says:
II thought 1 had rheumatism and
treated for it on that belief. I
used all kinds of liniments. The
pain was in my back and hips
clear to the shoulders. The lini-
ments did no good and I took to
blood medicines but they did not
help me. I took a long trip in
hopes that the change of climate
might help me. I was away for
three months but could see no
change for the better. l heard of
Doan's Kidney Pills and deter
mined to try them, and got box
at a drug store. They completely
removed the pains cut of my back
and I have not felt touch of the
old trouble since I used them.

ARRIVES LATE
1.-THE THREE OF US" COMPANY
MISSES MATINEE.
Miss Mabel Cameron, Star of Western
Piece. Talks of Her Part and
the Drama.

Pretty Miss Mabel Cameron person
ally fits appropriately into the frame
which Imagination has made for Rhy
MacChesney, the much admired hero
inc in The Three of U.s."
The company reached the city late
this afternoon, having left st. Louis
early in the morning, and the little
Cameron just rejoined the company
felt sleepy rather than laxative. Miss
Cameron just reojined the company
at Des Moines Christmas day after a
weeks vacation spent at her home In
New York. Miss Cameron herself
boasts Of being a western girl. a Cal
ifornian, of San Francisco. Her play
this season is western also, and it Is
human.
1.-THE characters are so well drawn,
so consistent and well developed" she
says. that any Que could act in them.
There are many little touches which
show clearly that the play was writ
ten by a woman. The characteriza-
ton OF. Rhyis always enjoyed in a
particular manner by the women of
the audience. The men, however,
have been appreciation for the pict-
ure Of the boy Glenn just leaving the
Hobble-de-Hoy stage and entering
manhood. u never fails to interest

OF herself. Miss Cameron, who Is
modesty personified, talks with re-
luctance. Quiet hammered and
thoughtful in appearance she much
prefers to enthuse over the works of
other people. Miss Rachel Crothers,
author of her play, for instance, or
Miss Carlotta Nelson, who created
the part of Rhy. Miss Cameron Is a
San Francisco girl. who, like many
of her sister Californians, has won
quick honors on the eastern stage.
For the past three seasons Miss
Cameron has been playing under the
of Walter N Lawrence.
She played in "The Two Mr.. Wether-
bys," in which Charles Hawtrey was
the star, but which did not live long
and last season in Mrs. Temples Tel
egram." Previous to that she had
been a member of James X. Hackett's
company.

The Body Merely Machine.

There are just any number OF dis
eases In which the Osteopathic is the
only treatment that will give any re-
lief at all.
The various phases of neuralgia
and rheumatism as an example yield
more readily to the Osteopathic
treatment than they do to medicine.
so too do lumbago, chronic head
aches, partial paralysis and kindred
ailments, and to one who knows the
first principals OF Osteopathy 1t is
easily to see why this is so.
osteopathy is a scientific system
OF exercise for the nerves and organs
of the body-simply manipulation
by which II restores structural nor
mality. TIE body is a machine run
by unseen forces called life, and that
II may run tremendously II Is neces-
sary that there be liberty of blood,
nerves and arteries from the gene
rating point to destination. This Is
what osteopathy does-gives liberty
TO the blood. nerves and arteries.

Il hope they are tied" said, with
poor attempt to conceal my misgiv-
ings.
Wen have a lively time in quar-
ter of minute IL they aren't" laughed
Dicky, as he followed me.
But the baying and barking came no
rearer, and | helped Mrs. Knapp out
Of the carriage. She looked at the
house closely.
This is the place." she said, in an
unmisakable tone OF decision. 1--WE
must be quick. wish something would
quiet those dogs: they will bring the
whole country out"
1t seemed an hour before we could
raise any one. but II may not have
been three minutes before a voice
came from behind the door.

1T is l.. NJ. X" said Mrs. Knapp;
then she added three words OF gibber-
ish that took to be the passwords
used to identify the friends OF the boy.
At the words there was the sound
of bolts shooting back and the heavy
door opened enough to admit us. As
we passed in, II was closed once
more and the bolts shot home.

in more. sweeping changes in the po.
lice and fire departments than are
recorded in today's papers.
II is unfortunate that in second
lclass cities of Kentucky a new mayor
who is responsible for the good order
of a city and protection of lie and
property. cannot control appoint
ments to the police and fire depart
ments: but since he cannot. It was a
most Fortunate thing that the police
and fire commissioners frankly as
sured Mayor-elect James p. Smith
OF their perfect confidence in their
own ability to attepd to that branch
of the executive department without
interference from the mayor. Mr..
Smith philosophically bowed to the
inevitable and made no recommends
lions: but without the least hard
feeling toward the board, he will as.
sumo his Official prerogative of in
sisting that the work of the police
and fire departments be efficiently
and loyalty performed.
If the board bad listened to recon-
mendations from the mayor-elect, a
practical compromise probably would
have been effected, by which the
most embarrassing results politicals
ly might have been imposed on the
incoming administration. As 1t is,
Mayor-elect Smith is completely abb
solved from any obligation. political
or otherwise. to any member or part
of the Democratic organization.
There is no reflection in this on
the work of the board of police and
fire commissioners or on the efficiency
of either department; but since the
has not absolute author
ity in the makeup of the depart
ments, We are glad for his sake and
the city's sake that he has none. Be
fore his term expires he will have
with him a board of police and fire
commissioners of his own naming,
and then he may do what he pleases
with the departments. In the mean
time. no doubt. the most perfect har-
mony will exist between the execu-
tive head of the city government,
his board and the heads and mem
beers of the police and fire depart
ments.

JAPANESE IMMIGRATION.

We are not patient people, We
demand that certain things be done
and we are restless until our wishes
are accomplished. The devious
methods of statecraft and diplomacy
are Irritating to our nerves. We en-
tered into a protocol with japan, by
which the oriental government
agrees to keep its coolies at home;
but We see them sitting across the
Mexican and Canadian borders, j.
500 a month, and we lose our tenn
per. We accuse Japan of bad faith
We haven't much confidence in ia
pans honesty; but what are We to
do about it? The west is aggrieved
at the presence of so many Japs
along the coast. who work cheap
live cheaper and send their savings
home to Japan. 1t is happy solu-
ton of the social problems of an
overcrowded little archipelago
along the Asiatic coast, and Japan,
no doubt. will let her surplus popu-
lation drift through our frontier, as
long as we stand for it. 1t has been
ascertained that the Japanese do not
thrive so we'll in Korea and Manchu-
ria, because China and Korea are
Just as crowded, and their popdla
lions can live on less per capita
than even the Japs.
Our state department is pushing
the issue OF japanese exclusion with
ali promptness advisable. The agree
ment to stop direct immigration was
a concession. We must remember
that japan is nation, and a proud
nation. japan could not be expected
TO bind herself by treaty to have her
subjects treated like interiors, even
though We are perfectly sure we
are the superiors of the little
brown mem. Canada Is to stop i'm
migration just as we have. That
prevents any further immigration by
way OF the north. The only leak is
I'm the Mexican border. No doubt an
arrangement will be perfected short
~ by which immigration of coolies
will be sufficiently checked TO relieve
,fhe Irritation of our westerners
Their attitude is a trifle exaggerated
on the subject; but then we must
have regard for human nature, and
we know flea will sometimes cause
a man more distress than a death in
the family; and the west has been
eorely bitten by the Japanese flea.

The Heart Of the Mystery.

| ne heart OF the Mystery
i was In the shadow of the mystery
A hundred questions rose to my lips
but behind them all. frowned the grim
woff-visage of Doddridge Knapp, and |
could not find the courage that could
make me speak to them.
Mrs. Knapp" said, you have
called me by my name. had almost
forgotten that had ever borne II.
have lived more in the last month than
In the rs years that remember before
Ii, and / have almost come TO think
that the old name belongs to some one
else. May ! ask how you got hold Of
itY
ut was simple enough. Henry had
told me about you. l remembered that
you were coming from the same town
he had come from. telegraphed TO
an agent In Boston. He went up to
your place. made his inquiries and tel
egraphed me. l suppose you will be
pleased to know" she continued with
droll affection Of malice in her voice,
that he mailed me your full history
as gathered from the town pump. 1t
is at the house now"
Il tried TO get something out of
Mother Borton concerning you" con-
tinued Mrs. Knapp. Il even went SO
far as TO see her once"
Il don't think you got any more out
OF her than she wanted to tell"
Indeed did not I was afaird Mr..
Richmond had not gone about 1t the
right way. You know Mr.. Richmond
acted as my agent with herr"
mo, I didn't know. She was as
close-mouthed with me as with you,
think"
well, ! saw her l wanted to get
what information she had of you and
of Henry"
"She had good deal OF It, IL she
wanted to give II up"
so | suppose. But she was too
clever for me. She spoke well OF you,
but not word could l get from her
about Henry. Yet she gave me the
idea that she knew much"
Il should think she might. / had
told her the whole story"
''She is used to keeping secrets, |
suppose" replied Mrs. Knapp. but |
must reward her well for what she has
done"
she is beyond fear or reward"
"Dead?" cried Mrs. Knapp in
shocked voice. "And howY
She died, l fear, because she be-

Poor creaturel" said Mrs Knapp
sadly. yet perhaps II is better SO.
She has died in doing a good act"
The carriage had been rolling along
swiftly. Despite the rain the streets
we're smooth and hard. and we made
rapid progress. We had crossed a
bridge. and with many turns made a
course toward the southeast. Now the
ground became softer. and progress
was slow. An interminable array OF
trees lined the way on both sides, and
TO my impatient Imagination stretched
for miles. before us. Then the road
became better, the horses trotted
briskly forward again. their hoofs pat
tering DULY on the softened ground.

Here's the place." came the voice
of Dicky. giving direction to the driv-
err; and the carriage slackened pace
and stopped. Looking out saw that

He looked inquiringly at us.

Knapp, her voice choked with anx.
iety."
Yes" said the man. do we move
AGAIN."
AT once" said Mrs. Knapp. in her
tone Of decision.
1T will take ten minutes to get
ready" said the man. Come this
way"
l was left standing alone by the door
In the darkness. with burden lifted
from my mind. We had come in time
The single slip Of paper left By Henry
Wilton had been the means. through
a strange combination OF events. to
point the way to the unknown hiding
place Of the boy.
In few minutes the wavering light
Of the candle reappeared. Mrs. knapp
was carrying a bundle that l took to
be the boy. and the man brought a
yalise and a blanket.
ITS all right" said Mrs. Kanpp.
'No--I can carry him want TO carry
him."
The man opened the door, then
closed and locked II as | helped Mrs.
Knapp into the carriage.
Have you got him safer" asked
Dicky incredulously. Well, Ill have
to say that you know more than |
thought you did" And the relief and
satisfaction in his tone were so evil.
dent that | gladly repented OF my sus.
picions of the light-hearted Dicky.
Have you heard anythingY" asked
him anxiously.
Il thought l heard a yell over here
through the woods. We had better
get out of here"
Don't wait a second" said the man.
THE south road comes over this other
way. II you've heard anybody there,
they will be here in five minutes. Ill
follow you ON a horse"
With an injunction TO haste,
stepped after Mrs. Knapp into the car
riage, the door was shut, Dlcky
mounted the seat. and we rolled down
the road on the. return journey.
"Oh, how thankful | ami" cried
Mrs. Knapp. There ia a weight of
anxiety of my mind. Can you imag-
inc what / have been fearing in the
last month";"
Il had thought a little about that
myself" l confessed. But we are
not yet out Of the woods, l am afraid"
"Hark. what's that?" said Mrs.
Knapp apprehensively.
The carriage was now making its
way through the bad stretch In the,
lane. and there was little noise in its
progress.
Il heard nothing" I said, putting
down the window to listen. What
was it?"
Il thought II was a shout"
There was no noise but the steady
splash of horses hoofs in the mud
and the sloppy, shearing sound OF the
wheels as they cut through the wet
soil.
AS we bumped and groaned again
through the ruts, however, there arose
in the distance behind us the fierce
barking Of the dogs, their voices
In anger and alarm.
There was faint halloo. and a Wild
er barking followed. Then my ear
caught the splashing of galloping
hoofs behind, and in a moment the
man OF the house rode beside us.
They've come" he said, cor. any
how, somebody's come. let the dogs
loose and they will have a lively time
for a while"

Now Look Out For Rheumatism.

The grip has been unusually
prevalent during the past winter.
and in many cases is likely to be
followed by an attack Of muscular
rheumatism. This is the most
common variety of that disease
and least dangerous. There is no
swelling of the joints and the pain
is not so excruciating as in acute
or infammatory rheumism. 1t
is sufficiently severe to disable a
man however, and every movement
increases the pain. Keep as quite
as possible and apply Chamberlains

massage, and you are certin to get
