OF more than usual interest are the
reports of the different consuls of the

liam J. Pike of Keil. in speaking of the
automobile and motor cycle in Alsace-
Lorraine. states that according to the
yearly statistics there were 1,03S motor
machines in the territory named, of
which lob were used for passenger

and AIS motorcycles in the passenger
service. Three hundred and thirty three
of the 5s5 automobiles were of eight or
less horsepower. 1S3 from to 16 horse
power. II from I6 to 40 horsepower,
and two had more than 40 horsepower.

portation of passengers IL were in the
service of the army and other public
officials. 13 were used for public traf-
nc. and 1872 used by business houses.

It Will be seen from these figures that
the most popular car is the medium

noted by our exporting manufactur-

1906 was s12,o9s,75s and in 1907 s1o,-

decrease IN value Of complete imported

is more than made up for by the in
crease OF value OF the chassis imported

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their tnceasing Work Kccps 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 500 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-pain in the
back, headache. nervousness, hot,
dry skin, rheumatism. govt, gravel,
jsorders Of the eyesight and hear
lg, dizziness, irregular heart, de-
ility, drowsiness, t.ropsy, deposits
