Save This Valuable Recipe or Hand to Some Afflicted One, Which Will ee7 Be an Act of Humanity-Can Be
 Prepared at Home.

A large New York health publica- ,tion tells it's readers of a number of simple and safe prescriptions that can be made at home. The following. however, for the cure of rheumatism and kidney and bladder troubles re- ceives the greatest praise, viz, Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound kargon. one ounce; Con- pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. These simple, harmless in gredients can be obtained at any good prescription pharmacy at little cos and are mixed by shaking well in a bottle
 The dose for adults is a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime, drink ing a full tumblerful of water after each dose. It is further stated that this prescription is a positive rem edy for kidney trouble and lame back, weak bladder and urinary diff culties, especially Of the elderly peo- pie, and one of the best things to be used in rheumatic afflictions, reliev- ing the aches and pains and reducing sWellings.
 A well known local drug2is, states that this mixture acts directly upon the eliminative tissues of the kid neys; cleanses these spongelike or gans and gives them power 10 sift and strain the poisonous waste matter and uric acid from the blood which is the cause Of rheumatism.

4 North Atlantic Curiosity.

=, the midst of the north Atlantic there is an cnormous field of floating seaweed which kept it's rlace presum- ably for centuries,' said an old sea captain. Ut occupies an immense eddy about the fit sixth degree of west longitude and between the twen- ty second and twenty-eighth degrees of north latitude. There is a great differ ence of opinion regarding the origin Of this floating mass. Some believe 1t to be detached from rocks at a conSidera- ble depth in the latitude where it floats. Others suppose it to come from the shores of the nOrther" seas. having been detached from the rocks by the violence of the winds Some again im- agine that it comes from tIc rocky shores of Florida and Mexico, while many others agree with Iue in belicv- ing that it has Hrver had any other than it's pre- place of abode. No one has eYor seen it attached 1O rocks, GOT have loot; ever been discovered belonging to it.

Why. one of my customers founl the effects of the side light so pronounced that he changed his offce desk to face the window. Another in- teresting fact is that, when d man Is up late or works long hours. he needs q shave oftcner than if hc took the usual amount of sleep.

district is demanding the convention Tor Denver Lack of adequate tele- graph facilities serves as q drawback to these cities as well as their dis tance from the center of population. The delegates will have to pay their own way to this convention fUr the frs time since the invention of the free pass, and this fact initiates against those cities which are located at either extreme of the country The advances made by Pittsburg and Boston are not considered seriously in any quarter. In short. all consid- eration of the subject among the polit- .ical prophets ill Washington leads back inevitably to Chicago and Kan sas City as the real contenders.
 The first session of the national committee will meet at the Shore ham hotel at II o'clock tomorrow morning and will probably continue through to Saturday before d decision is reached.

 but St. Louis and Denver also have chance Of victory.
 1T Chicago is given the convention. it will probably have to provide a hall larger than the Coliseum. where the
 1904 convention was held The Col
 iseum was admittedly ideal. so far as arrangements were concerned. Fbut
 it could seaj only about 5000 per
 sons, including delegates, the press and spectators. It is certain that the convention next year will attract
 much larger crowd of Republicans rom all parts of the nation than wts the case four years ago, when there
 was no contest for the presidential nomination. The national committee
 leaders are apparently determined to require hall that Will accommodate a much }arger number of people than Chicago s Coliseum It is indicated that a hall of sufficient dimensions to provide for a crowd of at least 1G.OO0
 will be a requirement. which the com mittee will insist upon Chicago peo- pie have promised to provide hall as large as the committee demands. but some committeeman are apparent
 ly skeptical of promises
 1t is believed that Acting Chairman New unquestionably favors Kansas City, and the Taft boomers and will also bring their influence to bear for They think that the West will turn to Taft and that the holding of the con- ventiun in Kansas City would be I point in his favor. In the matter o& d hail. Kansas City leads all of it's rivals, having maginfiicent editice that will hold no less than 5000 peo- pie. The building is especially well adapted to the purposes of national political convention and can be easily
 put in shape. with aisles, ante-rOOms and all the accessories for practical
 work. The question as to whether kansas City can supply adequate ho-
 tel facilities will probably be the deciding factor in it's acceptance or re-
 iec,ion The Chicago boomers declare that the town at the mouth Of the Kaw will certainly be unable to prr- perly entertain the thousands of yis- itors. delegates and correspondents who will flock to the next Republi
 can convention. \ number of nation al committee are already pledged to
 vote for Kansas City and it is cer tain to be one of the stiffest contend CTS in the race Should Seattle and Denver be early eliminated from con-
 sideraton, the friends of those cities
 will probably throw their influence in favor Of Kansas City The Missouri
 boomers allege that the hotel bugaboo
 is baseless and that Kansas City will be able to properly entertain all who
 come. The city is now said to have 60 per cent more hotel accommoda-
 tions than in 1900, when the Demo
 cratic national convention met in
 Kansas City. St. Louis is more
 strongly in the race for the Demo-
 cratic than the Republican conven-
 tion, and may aid Kansas City in ac-
