WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK
BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Half the Com.
mon Aches and Ills Of Wilmington
PEOPLE.

AS one weak link weaSsns a chain, so
weak Kidneys weaken the whole body
and hasten the final brealSing-down.
OverworS, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys. and when
their activity is lessened the whole
body suffers from the excess Of uric
poison circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills come and there is an ever
increasing tendency towards diabetes
and fatal Brights disease. There is
no real help for the sufferer except kid
ney help.
Doans Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys and cure every kidney IN.
wilmington cures are the proof.

James E. Adams, carpenter in the

never lost his faith IN Doans Kidney
Pills since he first used them in 1897.

them. The benefit was immediate and

night and arose in the morning feeling
! refreshed and ready for his days

Couchinc In Lieu of Oratory.

A singular fashion which prevailed
among the preachers of CromWells
time was that of coughing or hemming
in the middle of a sentence in order
to attract the attention of the con-
gregation. The necessity of continually
attracting the attention of the listeners
could not have argued well for the
brilliance of the sermons. Some au-
thorities say that the preachers coughed
merely as an ornament to speech. AT
anv rate. when the sermons were print
ed, as many of them were, the coughs
and hens were always indicated on

MONEY SYSTEMS.
The Worlds Coinage MIDDLE and the
Rance of Units of Value.


Twenty-six different monetary units
are used by the forty-eight principal
countries of the world. Thus Great
Britain uses the sovereign or pound
sterling, France and six other countries
of Europe use a unit equal to the
franc, and Canada and the United
States use the dollar.
In value these different units range
from A to 1888 cents of money of
the United States. They are represent
ed in their turn by coins the values of
which are either multiples or fractional
parts of the value of their own chief
units. and there are no doubt at least
200 such sufficient coins not one OF
which seems to have a value equal to
that of any commonly known unit OF
weight, as the gram, for example, or
the ounce of gold, although forty-three
of these forty-eight countries have ac-
cepted gold as their standard measure
| of values.
| This lack Of logical relation of coins
to any widely used unit of weight of
the precious metals may be due to the
| fact that money systems seem to have
grown up haphaZard. under diverse
conditions of life, in different parts of
the world.
Such diversity in moneys may have
been of little moment when millions of
people spent their lives knowing moth
ing of the existence of other millions
and there was little traffic. But these
differences in monetary units are OF
Importance now that international
commerce includes millions of tons Of
products of the toll of all lands ant
billions of dollars each year to settle
it's bills, for such differences put upol
; trade a wholly unnecessary tax. N
; account is made here of the burden
laid on domestic trade by like varia
ton in the value of such units at home
as Of the tael of China, which has six
teen different values within that en-
pire.-Moody's Magazine.
