A PHYSICIANS DIAGNOSES OF
 KIDNEY TROUBLE.
A Seemingly Common Disease which Becomes Fatal through Neglect and which May Be Readily Cured by Prompt At- tention.

More than two-thirds of the annual death rate, physicians claim, is directly traceable to kidney disorders.
 Interested by this remarkable asser- tion and desiring to acquire better un- derstanding of the origin of the disease. prominent physician was recently in- terviewed as to the symptoms of such troubles.
 "To what do you attribute the great destructiveness of kidney disease?" was asked.
 "The hold which the disease gains in the body before the victim becomes aware of his true condition, and the rapidity with which it eats its way into the vital organs"
 "Would not the proverbial ounce Of prevention check the progress of the disease?"
 "There is no doubt of it. The trouble is that victims of this disease mistake the symptoms for some triaing ailment ill the stomach or bowels; therefore they do nothing to arrest the course of the disease until it is well advanced.
 "What is the origin of kidney trouble?'
 "Alnost invariably bad digestion, fol- lowed by torpid liver and a constipated habit.'
 What are the synptoms?" "Headache, dizzy spells, sluggish brain, restless nights, pale or sallow skin, bad breath, lack of appetite, heart burn, sour be1ching, backache or tender ness over the kidneys, nervous weak ness, dark rings around the eyes, tired feeling, too much or too little urine, and sediment ill urine"
 ITS EFFECT ON THE HEART.
 ''In what way is the heart affected from kidney trouble?"
 "In all cases the heart is disturbed, though ill many instances the palpita- ton does not become alarming until the disease has advanced to a serious point. A severe heart throbbing and nervous trembling is noticeable, especially after a little bodily exercise; the victim ire quently imagines he has heart disease. /" HOW TO CURE IT.
 'What is the proper course of treat ment for kidney disease?"
 "First, to get rid of uric acid and other poisons ill the system. This can be done by stimulating the bladder and bowels so that they will act more freely. The suffering kidneys must be strengthened, the liver and stomach toned Up and the digestion inproved.' Prickly Ash Bitters is remedy that answers these requirements completely. It is not only system tonic and regu lator, but its healing and restorative in- huence will build up the weakened kid neys and urge them to a better perform ance of their duties. It gives strength and tone to the liver, stomach and heart and promotes harmony of action through out the body.
 M. W. Burr, village blacksm1th and respected 1 citizen of Starks, La says: II was troubled with kidney and liver disorder for IS years. was in continual misery until began taking Prick1y Ash Btters which has entirely cured me, and I am strong, healthy and hearty man. I give it to my wife and four children and they are ill the best of health, too. Ifeelthat Prickly Ash Bitters is the best remedy on earth and that everybody should keep bottle at home"

BEET GROWERS STAND PAT.

potatoes and grain and are fully saiih-
fed that these crops will pay them lar
better than raising beets for the
Eaton factory under the present terms
of the silo contract.
They will not, however. desist 1ro'A
raising beets, but will use their beet
chop to feed cattle. Already farmers
in these localities have siSnified fheT
intention of putting in 500 acres in
beets. The beets sown Will be Inc
varieties of stock beets and also sugar
bee.s. The cost of raising stock beefn,
it Is said, is not one-fourth that III
raising sugar beets for sugar making
and the returns in cattle much higher
than selling TO factories. II Is esff-
mated that a steer eats thirty POUNDS
of beets a day and that two tons NIB

What we need now" said Mr.. Dan
ner before leaving, 'is bath house,
and we want 1t SO badly that am 60
ing to Philadelphia and New York to
see II can't get the money to build
1t. We want large building, about
thirty by seventy feet, equipped with
lockers, showers and other apparatus
and II am successful in getting the
money the building will be put just
north of the assembly tent. I hope to
be able to raise the money without diff
ficulty. The East furnishes the con-
sumptives and we think that 1t should
furnish the money to take care of
them.
when the bath house IS completed
believe that point will have been
reached where it will be best to stop
expending. We have expanded to an
extent, which, believe, should not be
continued until we have time to see
whether or not the farm is to be sue
cess. 1t is not as if we were starting
something which had been tried be-
fore. We are trying something now,
and 1t will not do to go too far with 1t
until experience shows us that 1t will
be a permanent success"

Beet Contracts Not Signed.

Denver.-A Loveland special TO the
Republican Monday night says: a
meeting OF the Loveland beet growers
was held to-day to consider the pro-
posed contracts for 1907 offered by the
Great Western Sugar Company. ID. T
Pulliam reported the result of the re-
cent conference with the sugar com-
pany. which adhered to its offer OF
s4.75 fiat rate and no SLIDING, or s. and
silo % per cent. of the crop. for which
so cents ton additional would be
paid After a lengthy discussion the
growers decided not to accept the con-
tract and insisted on their demand for
a So fiat rate and no siloing. What
the next move will be no one can pre-
dict Both parties. it seems, have
agreed to stand firm, which may result
in closing the factory next season.

BEET CONTRACTS.
Thirteen Thousand Acres for Greeley
and Eaton Factories.

Denver.-Thirteen thousand acres
OF beets have beeh contracted by the
farmers for the Greeley and Eaton
factories next year. according to n
Greeley dispatch. and as the Greeley
and Eaton factories now have all the
acreage which they can possibly han
die the sugar company to-day refused
to accept further contracts for the
growing Of beets for the two factories.
Twenty-Five hundred acres OF the 49,
900, 1t Is said, were subscribed by
growers In the Eaton district and the
remainder of the $500 acres for the
Eaton factory was subscribed by Gree
ley growers. One thousand acres have
been secured for the Windsor factory
and within few days the $500 acres
to be handled by the Windsor factory
will easily be procured.
The sugar company now has all the
acreage in these TWO districts that 1t
can satisfactorily handle the coming
season, and in the last two days has
been obliged to turn down contracts
Of the Greeley farmers amounting to
1000 acres. All growers signed the
providing that one-quarter of the crop
be sliced at $3.50 a ton, and providing
the sale of the remainder of the crop
at IS ton. Manager Granger said to-
night: by allowing the acreage to
exceed the amount which can be
handled by the three factories of this
district many annoyances and losses
experienced both by grower and sugar
company this year will be eliminated
the coming season and all beets deliv-
cred at the sugar factory by January i,
1898"
Manager Granger has computed the
average yield of beets in the Greeley,
Eaton and Windsor districts for 1906
and find that the yield to the acre In
the Greeley district was fourteen tons;
Eaton, seventeen and one-haf tons,
and in Windsor fifteen tons. The to-
tai amount of beets ground by the
three factories was 100000 tons. which
brought the growers $15O0,OOO. The
beets were made into $4,000 tons OF
sugar, or 100000 bags Of 100 pounds
each. Five hundred thousand dollars
were paid to the 600 workmen at the
factories and the general running ex-
penses, putting into circulation In the
three districts $2,0O0,000, as result
OF the beet sugar industry.

Oreqon to Be Rebuilt,

Washington.-The famous battle
ship Oregon is to be modernized at the
Puget Sound naval station, and Secre-
tary Metcalf Saturday announced that
he had authorized the expenditure of
Sl,00O000 out of the naval repair fund
for that purpose. OF the best type of
warship when she was launched. the
Oregon is already most obsolete. and
to make her equal to modern men-of-
war, she must be extensively over
hauled. The changes will be similar
to those ordered for her sister ship,
Indiana, the most important being the
substitution of balanced elliptical tur-
rets for the present round turrets,
which cause the snip to reel when all
four twelve-inch guns are pointed over
the same quarter.

voiced by the Republican in the fol-
lowing article:
Among the notable changes to be
made in the Sixtieth Congress.
brought about by the fall elections,
will be the reconstruction of the com

House of Representatives. or the
twelve Republican members OF the
committee, five are to be retired, leav-
ing but one west of the Mississippi

vast country lying between the Missis'
sippi river and the Pacific has no rep
resentation on this committee, with
which lies the directing and usually
controlling power in leading legisla'
ton, especially that which relates to
the tariff.
The custom of combining assign,
menls to this and other important
committees to eastern representatives,
initiated when the West vas an insig-
nificant factor. has remained, during
the time the West has grown to a po.
sition and an importance that seems
to deserve recognition. Barring tho

sented interests occupy tomitting

fourth of the national Congress.

give consideration to a more equitable
adjustment in the new house.
