Not a Slip of the Tongue.

1t Is dangerous to pretend to knowl-
edge one does not possess A man Of
little education was once guest at a
dinner, during which servant STUN
bled SO that roast tongue fell from
the platter he was carrying. 1t was an
embarrassing moment, but the quick
witted host saved the day by remark
ing, Never mind, gentlemen, it's only
'lapsus lingua.'" This caused much
laughter and applause, and instead Of
being spoiled the dinner was a great
success. The boor, wishing to shine as
wit himself, shortly afterward gave
a dinner, to which none of those pres
ent at the first dinner were invited.
When the guests had been seated a
servant entered bearing y beef roast.
Just before reaching the table he
stumbled and fell. The host, leaping
to his feet, astonished the guests by
exclaiming. 'Never mind, gentlemen,

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS!
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles.

Many people never suspect their kid
neys. If suffering from lame, weak or
aching back they think that it is only a
muscular weakness: when urinary trou-
BILE sets in they think it will soon correct
itself. And so it is with all the other
symptoms of kidney disorders. That is
just where the danger lies You must
cure these troubles or they lead to dia.
betes or Bright's disease. The best rem
edy to use is Doan's Kidney Pills 1t
cures all ills which are caused by weak
or diseased kidneys
Mrs. Annie Kohlhoff, Of $50 Cherry ST.,
GAINESVILLE, Wis, says: "Since using
Doan's Kidney Pills some years ago for
kidney troubles and backache have had
no hesitation in recommending them to
every sufferer I have met had used
remedy after remedy and tried plasters
and did everything knew for these com
plants but the trouble grew continually
worse, and was fast undermining my gen
eral health. About seven years ago | was

time that l learned of Doan's Kidney
Pills and got a box at a drug store and

ported to the senate until after the

days
There is division of opinion in the
senate as to the merits of the ques-
ton. majority OF the senators ap-
parently being opposed to the calling
of a convention for the purpose Of
framing a new constitution. These
men hold that Wisconsin is still 4
young state in which the legislature
and courts have not fully brought out
the powers of the existing cOnstttu-
ton and the assertion is made that no
necessity has arisen. even through the
change of economic and industrial con-
ditions warranting an attempt to make
new instrument. 1t is also asserted
that there is great danger in seeking
to make an omnibus constitution, prac,
tically doing away with many of the
laws already interpreted and sus-
tanned by the supreme court. 1t
changes are necessary, these men
claim, the best results can be secured
by amendment from time to time as
necessity arises, instead of through
the adoption Of an entirely new instru-
ment Many of the senator's believ"
that wrong policy would be inau,
gnrated and conditions in Wisconsin
unsettled and made uncertain through
the adoption of a new constitution,
and contend that the time has not ar
rived when this should be done.
