WHY WOMEN SUFFER.

Women have 50 much to so through in life that it is pity there is SO much needless suffering from < backache, headache. dizziness, lam 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, 50 much lifting, bending and stooping; they are bound by custom, to tight, heavy clothing. They get little outdoor exercise. and any little 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- tion. 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: "Aro my kidneys we'll? 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

never had even the slightest thought of the White House as his dwelling place before he was actually domi- ciled there. 1t was the great ideas and purposes of the campaign which absorbed him. rather than any thought of aggrandisement which might come to him as occupant of the White House. Probably there Is not one of the presidential candidates who gives as much consideration to possible quarters in the executive dwelling as he would give under other circumstances to the selection of four-roomed fiat. Yet there must always be a certain glamor cast over those who reside in the concert ed limelight that ever beats upon the most prominent dwelling-house in the whole United States. This will be the first presidential election in which seven names will appear on the ballots Tn every state in the Union. Seven is sacred and mys- tical number, supposed to carry with it special charm and significance; and if election day follows close upon a bountiful harvest, peace and plenty will beautify the land and be a meet setting for the acceptance of one of the seven candidates for national honors.

POPE PLUS X IS SAD.
Says That Confinement at Vatican
 Shortens His Life.

Rome, Sept 4.-Pope Plus X yes, terday in an interview with Bishop Burke of Albany, N. Y., expressed the fear that he has but short time to live.
 He declared that the confinement of the Vatican and the burdens of the Catholic church, coupled with an unconquerable desire to return to his old home in Venice, were more than he could bear and that he fear ed he would soon succumb under their weight.
 The pope announced that he was trying to get his own affairs and those of the church in such shape seriously interrupt the progress of the church.
 There was an unmistakable touch of sadness in the pope's words, Bishop Burke said, in relating the interview.
 He said he pined for his old Ven etian home," the bishop declared, and could not help chafing under the restraint imposed by the Vati- can. His appearance bore out his words and as lie remarked in con- cluding the interview, T fear that | have not long to live,' could easily see his fears were well founded.
 Bishop Burke was accompanied to the Vatican by several local clergy men and spent half hour with the pope. The pope again took occa, sion to extol the work of the Catho- lie church in America, declaring, as he has done to so many American in- terviewers, that the freedom and in- dependence enjoyed by the church in America were pleasing sign of progress.
 "If the pontifical and liberty were not so directly opposed to each other would like to live in Amer ica,' the pope said to Bishop Burke

Speaking of the result of the Yer mont elections which gave the small est republican plurality In 16 years the New Haven Union says: Tt is perhaps fortunate, although rather funny, that both the managers of the republican and democratic campaigns seem so sincerely satisfied with the result in Vermont. If they are hap py, everybody else certainly should be. There is no doubt that the re- suit has greatly pleased Chairman Hitchcock. He was more than fear some about the outcome in Vermont; so much so in fact, that he dumped fat campaign fund into the state, and planned speaking campaign that taxed the abilities of such spellbind- CTS of national reputation as General Ide, Leslie M. Shaw, Senator Borah of Idaho, Congressman Mckinley of California, Representative E. J. Hill of Connecticut, and a host of others. The democratic national committee, on the contrary, following an evident purpose to waste none of their am- intuition save where it will do the most good, left MT Burke, the demo- cratic nominee for governor, and his friends to wage their campaign un- aided and alone. Is it any wonder then, that these managers of the democratic national campaign, point with just pride to the fact that de- mocracy in Vermont has held it own without outside assistance against the combined strength of Vermont and national republicanism?
