KANSAS CITY MARKETS.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 22.-The icattle market took a turn upwards last week, after the decline of Mon day, and sales Wednesday were at the high point of the season. There was a good run of Colorados here last week, and owners were uniformly well pleased with the market, cattle bringing from 30 cents to $12O per hundred more than similar cattle brought year ago. The week closed with a portion of the sadvance lost, and the run of 1S,000 cattle today is met by a still further decline, leav- ing cows 20 to 40 cents below We'd nesday, steers 15 to 25 below the high time, but stockers and feeders have held up almost steady. The main reason for lower prices today is an excessive supply at Chicago, which market is overloaded today with half fat corn fed cattle from Illinois and Iowa. Liberal receipts since a week ago have put the pack CTS temporarily in command of the situation, but no one believes the run will hold up and drop in receipts will bring another bulge in prices, probably next week. Colorado beef steers sell at $4.25 to $536, cows $500 to S4.25, heifers up to $4.5O; Colorado feeders at S4.60, stockers $4.00 to s4.35; panhandle cows $290 to S3.4O. few last week up to $3.75. Panhandle and New Mexico stockers and feeders S3.25 to. $40. calves S3.75 to $6.5O. bulls $40 to S2.9O.
 In spite of lower eastern markets last week, local prices on sheep and lambs made an advance of 15 to 90 cents, account of the light run of 23,0O0 head. Supply today is 6,000, market steady; top lambs $610, top yearlings lately $500, wethers s4.60. ewes $4.25, medium grades 15 to 25 cents below the tops. These prices are paid for either fed stock or that from the range when good enough, but the proportion of fat stuff from the range country is small. Country demand last week is the best it has been this fall, and prices advanced 30 to 90 cents. Feeding lambs bring $450 to $5.15, light feeding yearlings $425 to s4.50, wethers $4.00 to S4.25, stock and breeding ewes $2.50 to $4.O0. Fed stock is not moving much and with decreasing supplies from the range. it looks like we were in for a period of small supplies.

or scalding of the urine This tells of kidney congestion or inflammation. Neglect the trouble, and dizziness. nervousness, rheumatic pain, swollen ankles and limbs, thinning of the eyesight, sediment in the urine. or fluttering of the heart will mark the near approach of dropsy. gravel. stone in the kidney, diabetes or Bright's disease.

DOan's Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only They cure sick kidneys. clear and regulate the urine, relieve strain upon the heart and nerves, and cure back ache, rheumatic pain and dizziness. They are recommended at home by people you know.
Arizona republican., 1908-11-23

It is admitted that Bright's Disease in the United States than in any oth- CT country; that more than half the sickness in America is due to weak or diseased kidneys.
 We are a weak -kidneyed people, and the reason is plain. Ambitious to enjoy more than a mere living. to have all the pleasures that our neigh bors have, anxious for wealth and success; we overwork. rest little, eat and drink unwisely, and are "on the go' all the time.
 This strenuous life of today tells on the kidneys The human body was planned for a simpler life. There is just so much work that each organ can do. The kidneys filter our blood day and night. receiving it in a ceaseless stream, draining off the poisonous impurities. This duty is heavy enough in a normal average life, but when we work early and late, give up rest and repose for en- ioyment, and retire late to troubled sleep the work of the kidneys is in- creased enormously. Every bit of en- ergy consumed throws into the blood a quantity of waste like the ashes of fire, and if the using up is too rapid, the kidneys cannot keep pace with it. A cold. chill fever, strain or any excess may hasten the inevit able breakdown. and as the circula- ton of the blood never stops, the kidneys have no time to rest, no chance to mend. Sick kidneys can not get well alone.
 The first warnings of kidney weak ness are dull. aching pain in the back. retention, excessive flow, discoloration
