AFTER EXCITING CONTEST
Polish appropriation Bill Ratified by
Prussian Upper House.

Berlin, Feb 29.-Few Legislative
measures of recent years have excited
such deep interest among the people
as the Polish appropriation bill, the
principle of which was ratified in the
Prussian house of lords, nor has any
measure produced such sharp antag.
onism in the highest circles of Ger.
man society. It was noticed in the
house of lords as a striking circum'
stance that number of persons hav.
ing the closest relations with En-.
peror William voted against the gov.
eminent. The strength of the opposi.
ton was with the great aristocratic
landholders, who rejected the prin.
'ciple of appropriation because it
might prove dangerous precedent
later should the Socialists come to
power. One of the great landlords
even expressed apprehension lest the
Radicals, if they ever secured the
upper hand, would use the present
bill as a warrant for dispossessing
the German owners Of large estates.
The Conservative speakers tainted
the government with passing a meas
ure that can give satisfaction only to
the Socialists, inasmuch as it is based
On the socialistic principle of the
supremacy of the state over the rights
OF private property.
The measure now returns to the
chamber: which is expected to accept
the slight changes made by the house
of lords without encountering serious
difficulty

THE FIRST TO

MANY SUFFER
ELDERLY FOLKS WHO SUFFER
WITH BAD KIDNEYS OR BLAD-
DER SHOULD MAKE THIS UP.

The great majority of men and
women at the age OF so years begin
to feel the first -igns of advancing
age in some form OF kidney trouble
and bladder weakness. Few are en-
tircly free from that torturOus d.
ease. rheumatism. which Is not a
disease in itself, but symptom of
a deranged function of the kidneys,
which have become clogged and
sluggish, failing i'm their duty of
sitting and stranlng the poisonous
waste matter, uric acid, etc, from
the blood, permitting 1t to remain
and decompose, settling about the
joints and muscles, causing intense
pain and suffering.
The bladder, however. causes the
old folk the most annoyance, espe-
cially at night and early morning.
Hundreds of readers who suffer
will find the following. which Is
known as the DandClion mixture,
the most harmless and effective
treatment to clean the system OF
rheumatic poisons. remove irritation
OF the bladder and relieve urinary
difficulties of the old people. II is
true vitalizing tonic TO the entire
kidney and urinary structure, rein
vogoratlng the entire system"
The Dandelion mixture consists OF
the following simple prescription,
the ingredients of which can be OBJ
tanned from any good pharmacy ct
small cost: Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one-half ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla three ounces. Shake
well in a bottle and take In teaspoon
full. doses after each meal and upon
going to bed, also drink plenty of
water.
This prescription. though. simple,
is always effective in the diseases
and affiictions OF the kidneys and
bladder and rheumatism.
