families to church when there is pos
sibility OF meeting an automobile on
the road. Statements presented show

Ing from runaways where the horse

VERY SIMPLE TEST.
To Find ont u the Kidn'ys Are Weak
aud What 10 DO.

There are more cases OF kidney trou
Bile here now than ever before, while
recent reports show that more people
succumb each year to some form OF
kidney disease than any other cause.
When there Is sickness, examine the
urine. Rheumatism Is only symp-
tom OF kidney trouble. II Is nothing
more or less than excessive uric acid
In the blood, which the sluggish, in
active kidneys have failed TO sift out,
leaving II to decompose and settle
about the joints and muscles, causing
intense suffering, frequently resulting
IN deformity; often reaching the
heart when death ensues
Pains across the back, frequent,
painful and suppressed urination and
other symptoms Of weak bladder are
not the only signs of kidney trouble:
many cases OF stomach disease, head
ache, pain In the heart. inactive liver,
etc, are but SYMPTOMS, the cause OF
which can be traced to feeble, clogged
kidneys.
A simple test of the urine is to void
a small quantity In bottle or glass
and let il stand over night; next morn
ing II there is reddish, brick-dust
sediment, or white, tleecy substance
present, either consult some reputable
physician or take : good vegetable
treatment. The following prescrip-
ton is recommended highly in these
cases, and the sufferer should mix It
at home; Compound kargon, one
ounce; Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsa-
parilla, three ounces. Shake we'll and
use in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime.
But unless you go to the trouble to
ask your druggist for the Dandelion
and Sarsaparilla separately, and then
buy one ounce Kargou Compound, In
an original (unopenedD package. plain
~ printed Guaranteed No. los under
National Drug Law. and mix the Kar-
gon with the other ingredients at your
home, you had better not use this eff
fective prescription at all. 1t may
be worse than useless, perhaps even
harmful and your money wasted. Tn
der no circumstances accept the pres
cription all ready prepared, nor accept
any excuse for Offering 1t TO you that
way Purchase separately the kar.
gon Compound, No. los Guarantee, as
explained above, and mix these three
Ingredients at home yourself or don't
use at all.
Where any of the symptoms enumer
ated above are present, good results
are sure to follow Immediately the use
OF this simple prescription.

LECTURE At Y. N. c. A.
Glenn Marston viii Give an interest
ing Lecture Tonight.


Glenn Marston, who 10 to lecture on
Public Service Commissions In the
United States" at the Y. NJ. C. A. to.
night. is staying at the Putnam house.
Mr.. Marston has spent several years
In investigating the question Of state
control and Is an ardent advocate Of
this form OF checking corporate
abuses.
While Bennington seems to be In no
need of strict regulation of its public
utilities. It Is much more fortunate
than some other places In the state"
he said TO Banner reporter this
morning. There ID a general demand
all over the country for some form of
control and this sentiment IL rapidly
Icrystallizing In favor Of state regula.
ton rather than permitting local regu-
lation, which is often merely a cloak
for political intrigue. BY having the
control Of public service corporations
in the hands OF the state the corpora
tons are practically removed from To-
cal politics. This is as much desired,
| think. by the corporations as 1t is by
the public and the progressive corpora
lions are favorable to state control be-
cause 1t gives the people greater con-
fidence in them. The great distrust
that we find among the patrons of pub
lie utilities almost invariably comes
from the suspicion that they are In To-
cal politics in order to obtain an I'M
fair advantage over the people. Too
often this is SO.
State control gives all the advan-
tages Of local control with the addit-
ional one Of removing the companies
from politics. A state commission
should not, however. have absolute
power. That Is quite as bad as no
control at all. BY giving commits
sion absolute power over the corpor.
atoms with no opportunity for appeal
a great temptation for corruption Is
opened. One can imagine political
governor appointing commission that
would act with him to levy tribute on
all the corporations In the state. By
limiting the appeal so that company
could not run to the courts on every
Ipretext, the commission Is prevented
from making extreme decisions while
the public is safeguarded from the
dangers of corporate abuse"
Mr.. Marston leaves tomorrow for
Rochester. N. Y, where he Is to speak
on the work of the New York commits
sion. He will show tonight the re-
suits accomplished by public control
In all the states where 1t Is effective.
