Here is a simple homemade mix
ture as given by an eminent authority
on Kidney diseases, who makes the
statement in q New York daily news
paper, that il will relieve almost any
case Of Kidney trouble if taken before
the stage of Bright S disease. He states
that such symptoms as lame back,
pain in the side, frequent desire to
urinate, especially at night, painful
and discOlored urination, are readily
overcome. Here is the recipe; try It:
Fluid Extract DandeliOn, one-half
ounce; Compound KargOn, one ounce:
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three
ounces. Take a teasponful after each
meal and at bedtime.
A well-knOwn druggist here in town
is authority that these ingredients are
all harmless and easily mixed at home
by shaking well in bottle. This mix
ture has a peculiar healing and sooth-
ing effect upon the entire Kidney and
Urinary structure, and often Overcomes
the worst cases Of rheumatism i'm just a
little while This mixture is said to
remove all blood disorders and cure
the Rheumatism 10y forcing the Kid
ueys TO filter and strain from the blood
and system all uric acid and foul, de-
composed waste matter, which cause
these Affections. Try it you aren't well.
Save the prescription.

The SanCiity Of Home.

4 man has no right TO enter his own
door with a cloud upon his brow and
a temper in his heart His coming
should rejoice his wife and children.
4 woman has no right to be always
complaining about little things and
showing discomfort in thousand ways
and keeping the children in a constant
state Of alarm for fear mother will
make fuss about il. There should
never be a frown at the dinner table,
OF at the morning CT evening meal,
nor should there be that dismal silence
that sometimes brOOds over the meal
and takes away the appetite. Food
taken in sullen silence will not digest.
The bed and the board should always
be cheerful. The sleep will not be
sweet when there are tears upon the
pillow. We would be afraid to scold
a child just before the eyes were closed
in sleep. The responsibilities greater
upon the parent than upon the chill
dren. If the father is loving and COM
panionable to his boys they will be
more apt to stay at home and not wan
der Off into bad company. They would
not speak Of him as "the old man."
They would not be waiting for him to
die so they would inherit his estate.
II the mother was always gentle and
kind and reasonable to her girls they
would love home too well to make a
runaway match or go with unprinci-
ped young men. "Make Home Hap
py," should be the watch-word in
every family. It's well enough to have
the little prayer, "God Bless Our
Home" painted, or worked on canvas,
overhanging the mantle, but our Gre
ator will not do for US what we can do
for ourselves.

Victoria.

Editor Heculd:-This young city is
growing rapidly. Residences, ware
house, butcher shop, barber shop and
drug store are going up on different
squares, and the music Of saw and
hammer make the welkin ring. Saw
and planning mills are humming, work
about the new depot progresses, the
coal chute has been finished. Mer-
chants are laying in car lots and pro-
gress is the watch word Of the hour.
Lots are selling and contracts for
new houses are making.
No one doubts that the division
shops Of the Nirginisn railroad will
be located and added to the timber
interests must combine TO make a
town twice the size Of CTewe. This is
already the recognized metropolis Of
Lunenburg and everybody is watch
ing as Victoria grows.

Citizen Replies TO Councilman Wahs

Editor HcrGid, Well, one brother
on the Council has "stood up in the
person Of our nervy Mr.. Wall. When
read his card last week in the Her
aid, felt that l must surely be the
"chief Of sinners" that "such as /"
should write anything that would in
any way turn out to be a reflection
upon this purely unselish Council.
lie even dealt in personalities, and in
timated that only the good people yo-
ted for him, and that he was criticised
by "such as l." That he was not on
the Council for "loaves," and it made
me feel that he was not feeding on
"bread aud fish" but was eating
"meat" that "such as ~ knew not Of,
and that he had gotten so pulled up
and mighty that "such as /" could
not in anyway view his official actions.
As regards the gOOd people putting
him in Office / may be allowed TO say
that the result Of the recent primary
would indicate that the eyes Of some
Of the good people have been opened,
or else there were a good many "back-
sliders."
As to how he has voted when ques-
tions have come up in the Council
meetings in which he was personally
interested does he feel quite sure
what his action has been ? Has he
any recollection Of being in any meet
ing, and after using his influence By
his presence, if not by argument, asked
to be excused from voting, as he was
personally interested Where was
his nerve then? and whose interest
would he look to first? Would his
"pOcket nerves be deadened2 Are he
and his supporters so good, more than
motal ? Is he altogether satisfied
what position he took In December
meeting, 1904, when the question Of
allowing the country phone to have
an office in the corp rate limits?
The law quoted in my former piece
says councilmen shall not be directly
nor indirectly" interested" in a con-
tract with the town. Has not the
water company a contract with the
town? Does Mr.. Wall not consider
that contract in full force2 What
would he say were the Council asked
to give a franchise to another compa-
ny to supply water in the town ?
Would he then be shot or coldn or
one Of these "luke-warm" members?
| will now ask if it is not the duty
Of the commonwealth Attorney to
bring the Courts attention to this
matter. and if it is a violation Of law,
to have the matter remedied? Call
for the books and see how many c0un-
cilmen own stock in franchises Of the
councils creation.
/ do not see why cannot exercise
my right as a "citizenn II the editor Of
the Herald does not object to my using
that signature. When think it ne
cessary, | will give you my "entitle-
ment,n and until do think il neces-
sary will still be an humble

Many outsiders have been wonder

with the street car companies OF New

franchise for the Wall and Cortlandt
Streets trolley line in New York, which
Whitney sold 60 the Metropolitan Sc

Mind you, This was mo- railway at

check. in amounts designated in the
letter, to The following.

These checks were made out as de
reeied and sent TO Mr. Whitney. All
the books Of the Metropolitan Securi-
ties Company show is that "a franchise
TO build railr0ad-which has never
been built-was bought from Mr.Brady
for $685., 5O7l9.

ON Thursday, the 10th, at about 3
o'clock A. NJ, this neighborhood was
saddened 10y the death Of Mrs. Amanda

her suffering with Christian fortitude,
until the summons from on high came
to take her home, where there will be
no more p in nor death.
Mrs. Armistead was in her 18th
year, and was loved by all with whom
she came in contact, as she was a true
Christian character, kind hearted and
accommodating, and labored faithful
ly for those around her. She leaves
two brothers and three sisters to
mourn her loss. She was buried at
Cumberland Church by the side of
her husband.

About Success.

Plenty Of work, with good wages
and increasing prosperity, are the GER
tain rewards Of faithfulness. Let any
young man start in life with the de-
ermination to put the best he has into
the discharge Of every duty, and some
Of the best things Of life will eventu-
ally become his own. There is still
"room at tie top" and faithfulness is
one Of the essential conditions Of as
cent.
Nor can any one succeed at last in
any sphere Of life without a certain
degree Of piety, in its older and more
beautiful sense Of habitual reverence
toward nature and her laws. This is
not the teaching Of the Christian re-
ligion only, but equally Of all religion
and experience Of mankind. The ele-
ments Of success are NOR ] mainly,
and absolute obedience 10 moral law
Is essential to the preservation Of a
clear head and sound judgment.
Whoever is not obedient will sooner
or later find that he has been sowing
the wind only to reap a whirl-wind,
which will mar II not wreck his for
tunes when he least expects.
