Medicines containing Mercury are often given to persons suffering with
Contagious Blood Poison, and so powerful is the action of this drug that it
frequently removes the symptoms in a short while, and shuts the disease
up in the system to do greater damage to the delicate internal members
When, however, the treatment is left off, the disease always returns and the
patient finds that his health has been injured by this powerful mineral, and
he is often left with weak stomach, disturbed digestion, mercurial rheuma-
tsm, etc. The action of S. S S. is entirely different. It contains no
Mercury, nor any other harmful drug, but is made entirely of healing,
cleansing roots and herbs. 1t cures Contagious Blood Poison by removing
the virus from the blood. 1t searches out every particle Of the poison
and does not leave the least trace for future outbreaks. S. S. S, in
addition to curing the disease, builds up and strengthens every part of the.

WHY WOMEN SUFFER.

Women have SO much to go through in life that 1t Is pity there is so much needless suffering from backache. headache, dizziness. lan- guor and other common aches and ills of kidney complaint.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have brought new life and strength to thousands of women afflicted in this way.
 Women are prone to kidney trou- ble. They have SO much indoor work to do. SO much lifting, bending and stooping: they are bound by custom, to tight, heavy clothing. They get little outdoor exercise, and any littls cold may bring on a kidney weak ness.
 Don't worry if you feel tired and dragged out--if you have backache and bearing-down pains. headache, dizzy spells. faintness and lack ambi- ton. Don't think it's some trouble peculiar to the sex. Men suffer in the same way when they have kidney trouble.
 Ask yourself this question: "Ane my kidneys well? The condition of the kidney secretIons may give you an answer. If there Is a brick dust sediment. or a stringy settling in the urine: if passages are too frequent and eopious. or scanty and painful. 1t is time to begin using Doan's Kidney Pills.

Extended negotiations are pending between this government and that of Japan respecting the matter of i'm migration. Only a few days ago, a very long cablegram was received by Secretary Root from Ambassador 0'Brien at Tokio with respect to the situation. That statement of the situation is not altogether satisfac- tory to the American government. An analysis of Ambassador OBrien's S statement has indicated to the Ameri- can government that Jajan is playing world politics, rather than being frank and unequivocal. While the situation is regarded as serious, it $ not believed that it will result in serious trouble. Pacific coast con- gressmen who have studied the sub- iect do not anticipate that Japan is likely to precipitate a war, taking this question or any other as an ex- cuse. because they do not believe that she is financially able to institute a war with the United States at this time. Representative Hayes regards Japan's attitude as bluff" and in- sists that America could go to al- most any length in exclusion legisla- tion without provoking hostilities with the Oriental empire.

KEEPING OUT LAPS.
Some Congressmen Want Severe
 Measure Passed.

Washington, Jan 13.-Serious nego- tations are pending between the United States and Japan respecting the immigration of Japanese to Am erica. It can be said that President Roosevelt is sitting on the lid" to pre- vent an anti-Japanese outbreak that might prove to be very serious.
 Stories of friction between the Unit cd States and Japan that recently have originated in European capitals unfortunately have more foundation ill fact than the government of the United States cares to admit. In the sending of the great Atlantic fleet to Pacific waters President Roosevelt is providing against any contingency that possibly may arise. He proposes that the American nation shall not he caught unawares by the willy Japanese as was Russia. If there is to he any thing doing" In the Pacific, he intends that the American fleet shall be on the job. whether it be. in the words of Admiral Evans, "a feast, a frOllc, or q fight"
 Tremendous pressure is being brought upon the president to induce him to support a Japanese exclusion measure in the congress. In the past few days. several members of the house of representatives have discuss ed the subject with him. particularly Representatives Kahn and Hayes. or California. They and their constitu- ents are directly in touch with the Japanese situation on the Pacific coast and they assert that it is becoming more and more acute every day.
 It is a well-understOOd fact that the regulations promulgated by the government last Spring concerning Japanese immigration. having been in effective. With a desire to placate tho Japanese government. President Roosevelt did not resort to extreme measures in ordering the exclusion Of Japanese lallorers and cOOlies. The negotiations of the United states with Japan indicated that the latter govern ment was willing to restrict emigra- ti0n to America-eyen anxious to do So. The fact has not horne out the protestatIons of the Japanese govern ment. Since the restrictive regula- lions berame pffective-eight Or nine months agO-the immigration Of Jap supse tn America has increased three fold. Of course. that means oEly the number Of immigrant Japanese who have been admitted to this country in the regular way. Meantime. thous- nnsIs of Japanese have come to Amer ica surreptiti0usly. but. it is fair to assume. without the knowledge "f their home government.
