What the Kidueys Do

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood They work night and

about 500 grains of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part OF
this impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings oh many dis

DAVIS VIOLATED
ALL PRECEDENT
NEW ARKANSAS SENATOR GER
TAIN TO FEEL PUNISHMENT
FROM SENATE FOR SMASHING
TRADITIONS OF THAT BODY

WASHANGION, Jan. 6S.--Wash-
ington Is wondering what means
will be taken by the senate to pun
ish Jeff Davis of Arkansas. That 1t
win punish him In some way no one
doubts. for didn't he. by making a
speech eight days after he took the
oath Of ONCE, smash every tradition
of that ancient and honorable body ?
During the past so years there has
been gradual shortening Of the
probationary period man must
serve before it is allowable for him
to speak in the senate, but that
man should speak at the end of
eight days was taking too large
liberty.
The feeling of the senate regard
ling the course new member should
pursue is illustrated by using the in
duction into Office of Jonathan DOL
liver, the junior senator from i1wa.
Mr.. Dolliver was promoted to the
senate from the house after the
death of Senator Gear. In the house
he had been an influential member
and was rated an orator well worth
listening to. When Dolliver reach
!, ed the senate in 1902, he found mat
tiers under discussion with which he
was quite familiar and upon which
he had spoken in the house, matters
upon which the house had reckoned
him an authority He inquired OF
his friends what he should do, and
was referred by them to his col
league. Mr.. Allison, whose term Of
service had been longer than that of
any other man in the body.
'You want my honest advice, and
will take no offense?" asked Allison.
Yes want to know exactly
what should do" replied Dolliver.
Then keep quiet for two years,
laeonically answered Allison.
Senator Dolliver acted on that adj
vice, and when, two years later, he
arose in his seat one day to address
the senate. he was greeted with
crowded galleries and received the
respectful attention Of his coll
leagues.
Mr.. Beverage. the youthful sena-
tor from Indiana, was not so retiring
as was Mr.. Dolliyer. He came to the
senate in 1900 with something Of
reputation as a speaker. and was
unable to restrain himself longer
than three months. The senate re-
sented his haste, but Beveridge Is a
good taIker and gradually broke
down the barriers. Even Mr.. Till
man, who has the reputation Of be-
ing one Of the ire-eaters OF the sem
ate. postponed his debut as a speak
er until a considerable time had
elapsed. The South Carolinian is
not nearly SO fiery as he once was.
Time and experience have toned
him down, and he has learned In the
senate that he can better gain his
point by appealing to reason rather
than passion. Mr.. Tillman UNDER
stands the game OF politics, and
knows when to make his keen and
sarcastic political talks. He discov-
cred long ago that the game in the
senate must be played according to
the rules. He SO plays 1t now and
wins more frequently than he loses.
Some day Mr.. Davis will get on to
the rules. and he, too, win play ac-
cording to them. Then. and not till
then, will he begin to win.
