The Best Remedy
FINE PRnsCRIPTION FOR nHnuMA-
 rIsM AND KIDNEY TROUBLES.
Fix It Up Yourself-Relieves Nearly
 Every Person Who Tries It.

A certain large Esstern publication which has no use for the patent medi- cine business. tells its readers, of . number of simple and safe prescrip- fions that can be made at home. Tho following. however, for the cure of rheumatism and kidney and bladder troubles receives the greatest praise viz.. Fluid Extract Dandelion. one-halt ounce. Compound Kargon, one ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces These simple vegetable fngre- die1ts can be obtained at any good prescription pharmacy at little cost and are mixed by shaking we'll in . bottle
 The dose for adults is a teaspoonfui after each meal and at bedtime, drink ing full tumblerfull of water after each dose. It Is further stated thas this prescription Is a positive remedy for kidney trouble and lame back. weak bladder and urinary difficulties. especially O. the elderly people, and one of the best things to be used In rheu1iatic affiictions, relieving the aches and pains and reducing swell. ings ip just a short while.
 weli- known local physician states that the Compound Kargon in 1t does the work It Is the only drug known which scts directly upon the eiimina- tive tissues of the kidneys; cleanses the spon gelike organs and gives them power to sift and strain the poisonous wasie matter and uric acid from the blood. which Is the cause of rheuma- tisn.,
 Cit this out and hand to some suf- ferer witch would certainly be an act of h.,mapity.

A Nrcr aunsrIoN.

A correspondent of The Advertiser under the caption, An Elective Com mission" calls attention to the fact that the primary principle has been over looked in the proposed filling of the vacancy that will De created in the ofhce Aof President of the Railroad Commission. If the understanding that Mir. Charles Henderson is to be the new President turns out to be correct there will at least be recognition of the primary, because he led the field, not for President 1t Is true, but for mem bersilip on the commission. As to the vacancy, however. that will thus be caused in the Commission. the contens ton of our correspondent Is well tak- sn. when the new members go into office in March, if the present program is carried out. an appointment will bs made and the people will have never had a voice in the selection. Aftcr that date, there would then be only one
 man on the Commission who was elec.. ted to the position. he will hoid--viz Major J. c. Harris. The others would be appotntees

SNAKES IN INDIA.

If ever there was 6 country that stood in need of St. Patrick that country js k India. Tahulated reports for the ysA< 1905 give the number of persons. ktzssd by snake bites at 21.- TOT. and itsis not at all sure that all the fatalities from this cause were re- ported. If there is a country in the world anaaas grievously infested with poisonous snakes than India we do not recall the name of 1t. St. Patrick has the credit of ridding Ireland of the snakes that infested it and if one like him could perform the same service fer India 1t would be a blessing to hu- manity.
 It is quite probable that much of the fatality in India is due to the natives themselves. They are careless in their habits and take little precaution against venomous reptiles. Then, when one is bitten he has not the knowledge of the proper remedies. or cannot procure them in time. Added to this is the fatalism which dominates them and leads them to believe that their death in this way was predestinated and that no effort of theirs can put aside that which Is fated. and all these causes combine to swell the death list from this cause to such proportions.
 But the fact remaias that India is a land of poisonous snakes. The dense junsIes are good breeding splaces for them and the torrid climate is favor able both to breeding and nurturing them. so that it is perhaps not strange that they greatly abound. Whether there is or can be found a remedy is another question. They are among the most difficult of all pests to eradicate. and under favorable circumstances. such as prevail in India, their multipli- cation is very rapid. The man or men whQ@could clear the country of such a dangerous part of its inhabitants would be real friend to humanity.

Portland (Maine) Express.
 No one Is more prominent in the Charles E Hughes of New York. The honor of being the center Of attrac- ton has been conferred upon President Roosevelt so long that it must be re- lief to him, as 1t is to newspaper read CTS, to have a respite.
 It Is reported that Governor Hughes Is exceedingly lonely at Albany. It IS asserted that he has not one single punish. His friends declare that heyfs absolutely unhampered, untrammeled and without political creditor or a political debtor. From all of which 1t Is predicted that his administration will be without mark or blemfsh, and without e scratch against 1t. All or which is to be somewhat regretted: It is not good for man to be alone, and the fact remains whether reference is had to the fireside or to the executive man sion. If all that Is said of Governor Hughes and his absolute freedom from friendships, enmities and political in- debtedfess be true, it would not be in the least surprising if his administra' ton should close without political as- sets negative in It's character and with the inevitable fact before him that nesation makes no mark, put IS noun thing but a blank. -
 But Governor Hughes is strong man and a brainy man, as his career demonstrated when as the par. nh men .Sa oa age when they become eligible to i'll the highest office in the gift of the people of a great state without the torma- tion of friendships, or without the ac- cumulation of some enmities. He will, in all probability. recover from the euIogies poured out upon him because of his alleged negative character.
 Inethe meantime, when he said in his Inaugural that We are a government of laws and not of men," he enunciated sound doctrine. and If he sticks to It, he will survive the eulogtes' now oefng pronounced upon him in the house of his friends.

Editor Advertiser:

\
 MT. Comer has been q sticl<ler for q elective railroad commission. He has contended for that principle for some years The people passed on the claims of . number of candidates electine two of them. There were about half dosen unsuccessfui candidates. Let me suggest in all mildness that there is excellent timber among those men whc did not get plurality votes at the pri- mary. One of them,s if the people are to rule. ought to take MT. Coiner's [ place on the Commission. Respect for the wishes of the people ought to con trol the Governor elect. Why should he not appoint, then. Mir. Lowe, MT. Sksegs, MT. White or Mir. Compton to the im- portant position to be made vacant by his being sworn in ass Goyernor? Tho people have spoken. Let their voices be heard. ASE
 If MT. Conner Is not Inclined to make an appointment himself. he could re- fer the matter to either or both bod les of the Legislature agreeing to name such one of the late candidates as secures majority, of the vote. This would be a happy solution of the mat ter and 1t would show that Mr. Conner was sincere when he advocated an elec- ton for railroad commissioners by the people.

We believe it was Alexander Pope who wrote that whatever is IS right" and as Penny was aware of the loot 1t is natural for him to defend the methods through which it was secured. If there were any tears shed over his retirement they came from the gang of iootsrs who profited by his example and compensation.
