A BLAZE OF CONVICTION.
Sweeping Over the Whole Country.

sweeping over the whole Country
The more people know of the great
discovery that has made so many re-
markable cures here in Richmond dur
ing the past few months, the more
convinced are they of the great merit
of Root Juice. Thousands of people
have been cured by it all over the
country. Many that use it a short
while are so loud in their praise that
their neighbors crowd into the drug
store to get some of the health-promot-
ing Juice. Usually one bottle will
convince, and it is but seldom that
five or six bottles does not make a
complete cure of Indigestion, constipa-
ton, nervous weakness, rheumatism
and other troubles arising from dis
eased condition of the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. 1t seems to cure
by removing the cause. 1t heals and
tones the organs that make and filter
blood.
A. G. Luken's drug store has the
agency at this point. Root Juice is
sold for 81 bottle or three for $3.50
"Uze-it" Pain Oil, % cents. 1t will
stop almost any kind of pain in few
seconds, and is used in connection
with the Juice when there is pain,
soreness or Inflammation.

STORM CAUSESDEATH
Ten Already Found Frozen
As Result of Blizzard
In Chicago.
THIRTY-THREE MISSING.

Chicago, Feb. 21.-With Chicago
suffering in the aftermath OF storm
which has broken all records since
1854, traffic still partially paralyzed
and want and restitution on every
hand, detectives have been called up
on to hunt for SO persons who have
been reported missing since the biz
card began.
The unusual number has aroused
the police, and fear was expressed
that some of those who had been re
ported absent from their homes had
met death in the storm.
The police were ordered to search
the great mountainous drifts in the
suburban districts, where pedestrians
caught in the blizzard on their way
home may have fallen exhausted
Two more fatalities have come to
light raising the total dead resulting
from the storm in Chicago and sU-
burbs to 10, while the growing list
OF injured now fOOts up to over $50.

BERLIN is MACHINE MADE.
English Writer Calls 1t stir, Rigid
and RectiItnear.

ana
Was Berlin made last year or the
year before? 1t is impossible to say
from looking at it. Some of the trees
in the streets look at least ten years
old, but they must have been planted
long before the city was thought of.
The houses and the streets and the
lampposts and the statues are all much
too neat and new to have endured the
rains of more than one winter. 1t is
all, in fact, quite too new to be COM
Portable. One feels afraid to sleep in
any of the houses lest rheumatism
should be lying in wait in rooms where
the plaster has not had time to harden.
l drove from the station in a ''drosll-
XII with a monstrously old horse. Time
had bent his foreIegs into very good
imitation of switchback railway. and
as we plodded solemnly along the
brand new asphalt roadway, with the
brand new houses on either side and
an occasional brand new electric car,
with "A brand new driver in a brand
new uniform, l found myself wonder
ing what the old horse must think Of it
all. One day he may have been grazing
III dU open ueIu, anu "ucl lie pdSSeu
that way a week or so later he found
new broad boulevard, with hotels and
shops and churches and great blocks of
flats, all sprung up like mushrooms.
Berlin, then, is a great deal too per-
feet to be satisfactory. 1t is the ma
chine made, not the hand made, article
it was very decidedly made, not
born. There Is no spontaneity in it, no
life. Compared to, say, London, it is
like q beautiful marble statue to q liV-
ing woman.
Berlin is. in fact, an awful object
lesson to emperOrs and others who try
to make capital city out of respect
able village. 1t is easy to put up i'm
posing buildings-if you have the mon
ey-and to cut out broad tree lined
roads and have everything neat and
nice and fine, but you only make your
village bigger and finer without max
ing it any the more capital city.
There is no getting away from the feel
ing that Berlin is a village-a big viii

of-the- bandboX village. but a village all
the same.-London Chronicle.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
TroubIes-A Richmond Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only a muscular weakness: when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Brights disease. The best remedy
to use is Doans Kidney Pills. 1t
cures all ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys. Richmond
people testify to permanent cures.
Enoch Cromer, living at POI North
10Th street, Richmond. Ind, says:
"Railroading is said to be hard on the
kidneys and the continued jar and jolt
of riding on trains got me into bad
condition. My kidneys became weak
and there was Inflammation of the
bladder. Many nights there would be
three or four passages Of the secre-
tons before I could get to sleep and
this loss Of rest made me weak, de-
pressed and in no condition for work
Frequently l felt faint and dizzy SEN
sations and a general feeling of lassi-
tude and weakness. Mr.. Hiatt of the
Hiatt Drug Co. advised me to try
Doan's Kidney Pills. I did so with
good results. The backache was re-
lieved and the kidney action became

A SUGGESTION TO DEMOCRATS.

Mr.. Bryan is undoubtedly opposed
by the same powerful and special in
terests within the democratic party as
oppose Roosevelt or a Roosevelt man
within the republican party and it is
not surprising that conferences of
powerful men are being held in New
York City to accomplish the Nebraska
mans downfall. Unlike Roosevelt or
any candidate now before the republic
can party. Mr.. Bryan has a record of
two unsuccessful campaigns as his par
tvs candidate for president and this
gives room for the argument that he
should get out of the way of some
body Who can run.
The man most prominently men
toned however, does not possess the
elements of leadership sufficiently
strong to lead a national movement.
Governor johnson carried the elections
in his state because he was a Scan
dinavan and because the republican
party of that state was controlled by
the reactionary, corporation crowd. He
is not a man Of such strength of char
acter as to inspire following outside
Of Minnesota.
The south has governor who would
measure up to presidential size If the
democratic party would accept any
other than Mr.. Bryan for it's candi
date Governor Hoke Smith. of Geor-
gia, is large man of real accomplish
ment in executive office. He once
served in President Clevelands cabi
net. He was nominated for governor
by the democrats in Georgia over the
same railroad opposition which has OPP
posed Cummins among republicans in
Iowa and many of the same state is
sues of lower railroad fares, election
reforms. more honest administration OF
taxation, etc, have been prosecuted
vigorously and effectively under his
leadership The career of Governor
Hoke Smith in Georgia would furnish
inspiration for democratic enthusiasm
If the party really wants a candidate
with the ability of Bryan but with
record of success instead of defeats
upon which to build campaign. If
Taft should be nominated by the re-
publicans Mr.. Bryan might be willing
to let someone else try for the place
on his party ticket.
