WHY WOMEN SUFFER-.

Women have 50 much to go through in life that it Is pity there is so much needless suffering from backache, headache, dizziness, Ian 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 custon' to tight, heavy clothing. They get little outdoor exercise, and any iittls cold may bring on 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: "Aru my kidneys well? The condition of the kidney secretions may give you an answer. If there is brick dust sediment, or a stringy settling in tho urine; if passages are too frequent and copious, or scanty and painful. 1t is time to begin using Doan's Kidney Pills. Delay may run you into

AS further illustrating the point of giving sea-going officers complete control, it is a matter of history and official record that during Grants first term his secretary of the navy, Borie, for a time turned the actual administration over to Admiral Por- ter, says writer In Engineering Magazine. Admiral Porter was a sailor in the strict etymological sense of the term, in that he believed there was nothing like sails. AS soon as he was in authority he caused the four-bladed propellers of the vessels to be removed and replaced by two bladed ones in order that the ships might maneuver better under sail. The inef1ciency thereby brought about Is, of course, apparent to any engineer, as the size of the propeller opening was fixed and the two-bladed screw could not be made large enough. A few years later, in a re- port to the department, he actually claimed that the vessels were faster under steam with the mutilated screws. The facts, of course, were just the reverse, and when his infiu- ence became less, proper propellers were again fitted. This was when he was still in his prime and his judg- ment was, at least, not impaired by age. About twenty years later, when the Roach cruisers were being built, the dear old man, then over seventy, went before the naval committee and said that the plans of these vessels were wrong because they had only auxiliary sail power. In his iudg- ment they should have been given full sail power with steam as an auxil- iary. He. was still sailor! yhe world had not moved for him.

As we look up through the trans parent atmosphere on a clear night and see the moon beaming brilliantly down upon us we may think, What a wonderful sight the continents and oceans of the earth would present ii we could view them from the moonr' But according to the conclusions oi the director of the astrophysical .ob. servatory of the Smithsonian institu- ton, man on the moon would catch but feeting glimpses of the outlines o1 our continents. "The true radiating surface of the earth as a planet says the scientist, Ifs chiefly the wa. ter vapor at an elevation of 4,OOc meters t13.000 feet or more above the sea level" In consequence the man in the moon would see the features o1 the earth dimly outlined in the glare of light reflected from the atmosphere.

Greater honors were never before shown to Waterbury man than was
 manifested the past four days in the
 spontaneous and heartfelt outpour-
 ings of grief and tokens of friendship
 and esteem bestowed on all that was
 mortal of Monsignor William J. Slo-
 cum. as he lay lifeless waiting to be | consigned to the dust whence he
 came. And let 1t be said once again that the dead prelate deserved all of it. His life was an open book, and
 those relatives, friends and acquaint-, 1 ances who were permitted to scan those pages saw in them that which
 when the book was closed forever
 brought forth all the tokens and man. ifestations of esteem that was in them. Father Slocum was their friend, indeed he was the friend of all humanity, and none knew him but to love him. Those who were his closest friends loved him best, as Acting Pastor O'Brien truthfully said in his remarks yesterday. To-day Protest ant, Catholic, Jew and Gentle, vie with each other in doing honor to Father Slocum's memory, and why not? It is just as he would have 1t. A strong believer in, and advocate of his faith, his hand was always outstretched to lift up fallen or mis- guided brother. There was no harsh I ness in his nature, and that Is why all the people mourn to-day. That is why curtains are drawn and wheels refuse to turn that all may pay to | him the last mark of respect before the grave hides him from view. That Is why so many of all creeds to-day l wend their way to the city of the dead there to say the last prayer for one who so often prayed for others. | Andwith the muse we can say that
 Nothing in his life
 Became him like the leaving 1t: he As one that had been studied in his
 death, To throw away the dearest thing he
 owned
 As 'twere a careless trife.

that disaster and understood tho tre- mendous amount of liquidation that must follow, the recovery since then has been simply astonishing. says Banker Clews. In no previous panic. of anything like such severity. has recuperation been so,rapid or so com plete. Already security values are back upon practically the same level as before the panic; some of course being lower. but not few actually higher; and this after large losses in earnings and frequent reductions in
 dividends. Much of this recovery in securities from post panic prices was of course due to the glut of idle money at exceptionally low rates of interest, which made good stocks and bonds look exceedingly cheap. In consequence, shrewd investors bought freely; and the big speculators with
 their easy control of the money mar ket were enabled to manipulate prices freely and secure large profits on the securities they bought to stay the panic. For the courage displayed in the time of distress the rich men who took the brunt of the shock in Octo- Der last have reaped handsome re- wards, which no one who thoroughly appreciated the crisis begrudges. Yet the fact remains that one of the most
 important elements in the rapid re- covery of 1908 was the extraordinary abundance of cheap money, which not only stimulated speculative recov- cry but saved many good concerns from going under that otherwise would have been obliged to liquidate.
