simple reason that there was no
money with which to pay them and
they could not then be allowed under
the limit on city Indebtedness. These
were kindly willed to the new admin
istfation. together with an empty
treasury
Not only this but the saloon licenses
had been collected and spent three
months In advance. so thar there was
not only no money Ia the treasury,
b.t very little IN sight for the first
three months
Nothing daunted. however, Mayor
Duke and his able supporters took
hold OF the city government. with a
determination to win and bring the
city to the front They have made
good.
The city is now IA a cash basis and
has been for over a year. There Is
money in the treasury and city war

the poll tax has been reduced from
$500 to $3.50, which cons. or 1g the

TWENTY : FOUR OUT OF
TWENTY-FIVE Y
Are Afflicted with Kidney Trouble, and
Are Ignorant OF Its Existence.
SAFE CURE SURELY CURES.

A leading specialist on the disease
of the Kidneys and the blood. has said
that If complications of the gidneys
were diagnosed properly the dea
rate from kidney disease would be re-
duced to minimum Too many per
sons are doctored for acute indiges
tion and other forms of disease mp 90
within few days of their death from
Bright's disease.
Thousands of cases are discovered
when it is too late. while If The patient
would take the trouble to test his
Kidneys, he would discover their I'M
healthy condition in the early stages,
when the germ can be very ecsily
driven ont of the system.
DIR. Loomis. the great specialist on
kidney disease, saws: There is not
one person in twenty-five at forty
years of age who has healthy kid
neys." His opinion is based on stats
tics of examinations made. the results
of which show tlieFe-reee- -eHly ten
cases out of two hundred and fifty ex-
aminations of people of forty years of
age or older whose lddneys were not
diseased.
The pecularity OF kicney disease is
that it NAV lurk in ones system for
months without any outward symptom
that it is easily recognized as kidney
trouble. The disease is so prevalent
and works along SO stealthily that il is
the duty of every man and woman TO
test his kidneys every two or three
months. II is a simple matter and
can be done by everyone.
Safe Cure is made of pure herbs
and contains no dangerous drugs. This
is the reason doctors and hospitals use
it exclusively for kidney troubles.
We warn everyone against substi-
tutes and limitations, which are worth
less and very often dangerous. There
