WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their UnCeaSing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 800 grains of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part
of this impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings on many dis
eases and symptoms in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot,
dry skin, rheumatism, govt. gray
ell, disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, de.
posts in the urine, etc. But if
you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with the kidneys.
Nelson Davis. who lives on
Letcher Avenue, Richmond, Ky,
and is a plasterer by occupation,
says: "Doan's Kidney Pills
brought relief to me when all else
had failed, and | had begun to fear
that there was no cure for me. I
was in "A state of almost hopeless
ness when | got my first box. The
workings of Doan's Kidney Pills
are marvellous. They worked a
quick and lasting benefit in my
case"
Plenty more proof like this from
Mt. Sterling people. Call at F. @.
Duerson's drug store and ask what
customers report.
Remember the name-Doan's-
and take no other.

Lexington & Eastern.

The Lexing ton & Eastern Rail
way Company have secured the
right-of-way for the proposed
extension of their road in Breathitt
county. The greater part of the
right-of-way was obtained without
court proceedings. However, G..
j. Noble refused the offer of the
company, and condemnation pro-
ceedings were brought in the coun-
ty court last week which resulted
in the railway company securing
the right-of-way at the figures they
had offered Mr.. Noble.

No Extra Session.

The President has written let
ter in reply to the Massachusetts
tariff revision memorial, which
gives the very definite impression
that Mr.. Roosevelt refuses to call
an extra session Of Congress at this
time for the purpose Of tariff dis
cussiOn.
That has been the expectation
from the beginning, and few revi-
sionists will he really disappointed
in it. Why should they be- An
extra session would simply have
ment their defeat, for, of course.
no sane man believes that revision
would have a ghost of a chance
with the majority Of Congressman
at present.
The failure, after all this fuss
and feathers of an extra session.
would appear doubly disastrous
and work actually hurt instead of
nelp the cause. The movement is
going we'll; it is growing enormous
Iy in many States, and soon the
sentiment for it will make itself
felt elsewhere. The revisionists
will be all the stronger by waiting
until the next regular session.

Some Of the Figures.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-Preliminary
estimates made by the bureau of CEN
sus as a result of the investigation OF
marriage and divorce statistics, indl-
cate that the number of applications
for divorce filed turnout the United
States during the twenty-year period
from 1887 to 1906 will reach the enor-
nous total OF 100000.
It is estimated that three fourths OF
the applications have been granted, SC
that the statistics when compiled will
show that in the period stated more
than 100000 divorces have been al
lowed.
In the twenty-year period from 1867
to 1886, for which divorce statistics
were secured, the total number OF di-
vorces was 32S,000.
On their face the figures indicate a
stupendous increase, but when the ratio
they bear to the population is consid-
cred it is not 80 great tho Still large
enough to warrant the serious consider
alton of the American people.
There is striking difference in the
reports Of divorce applications and d.
vorces for cities and those for the
country Ii the case OF Chicago, the
number OF divorces granted from 1861
to 1885 was 1886. The records for the
second twenty-year period show 1855
applications, OF which BLISS were
granted. Upon the basis of the aver
age annual population, divorces in
Chicago during the first period num-
bered rs per 100000, while they In
creased to 107 per 100000 for the sec
ond period
Chicago's increase is not nearly 81
great as that OF Philadelphia. where
the average number increased from q
per 100000 for the first period to 81
per 100000 for the second period. Bos-
ton Is passing Chicago in the rate OF
increase which has gone up from 40 tc
