10 PER DAY.

The Health departments of both
New York and Chicago have sounded
the alarm. The growing deaths from
kidney disease are appalling-now
over 40 per day. These are the cen
sus figures. Kidney disease is getting
to be national menace. Every one
should watch his kidneys.
Kidney trouble is not only durable
the first few weeks but often gets
well of itself After II has become
chronic tfastensl all known medicines
were futile. This was the situation
till recently. There is late treat
ment for kidney disease that is new
in this profoundly important particu-
lar-it is the first thing yet discovered
that is affective AFTER the disease
has become chronic as we'll as before.
Hence. it is curing the most fatal
forms of kidney disease and 1t is the
only thing in the world that is.
If you have kidney trouble, don't
take chances but start right No one
knows whether 1t has been developing
long time or has come on suddenly
hence. the only safe plan is to take
the only thing known that will con
troll it in either event.
! This treatment is superseding kid
ney medicines. Send for it. People
with kidney trouble now have theil
opportunity.-W. l.. Gokay and B. A
Quinlan, Druggists, Bennington VT.

There was a notwithstanding

The Olympic Games.

The American people will not get so
excited over politics for the next few
weeks as to forget to look on the
sporting pages of the newspapers each
morning for the results of the Olympic
games in England. The contests which
began there yesterday will continue
for two weeks, and among the 1000
trained athletes who will compete-the
picked young men Of the 20 leading
nations of the world-there are 100
Americans whom we are looking to on
big share of the honors. When the
famous olympic games of ancient
times were revived with variations and
additions at Athens in 1896 the Ameri-
car athletes won more prizes than
those Of all other nations combined.
These great international games are
held at four-year intervals, and at
Paris in 1900 and at st. Louis in 1904
TIE American supremacy was easily
maintained. InlS year 1or the IlFSt
time the games are held in Great Brit
air. A great stadium which will ac-
commodate 100000 spectators has been
built near London and the English
people are counting on great victory
for their representatives. Three kings
were there yesterday at the formal
opening of the games. those of Great
Britain, Norway and Greece. but the
real kings were among those 200C
young men who paraded before them
The entries are more cosmopolitan
now than in the old days when only
youths of pure Hellenic blood Were
permitted to participate in the Olym-
plan games. but the sport will not be
less clean and the games will be car
ried out on spectacular scale un-
dreamed of in ancient times. Here's
to tie American boys!

MOUNT VERNON.

The season has again arrived when
city people begin to turn their atten-
ton to the country and to scan the
papers for advertisements of sum-
mer resorts. For several years Mount
Vernon has received the patronage of
quite a number of city people who like
to get away from the seashore and en-
ioy the hills and forests and fresh
water lakes of this quaint New Eng
land town. The inhabitants think
that no other town in this grand old
State of Maine has such a variety Of
landscape Lake Minnehonk, south Of

Lake by the romantic, on account of
the great beauty of the shadows cast

Northeast of this village is a mountain
with a carriage road nearly to its
summit, from which is a commanding
view of the country for many miles
which fully repays any one for
making the trip. The White Noun
tains and Katahdin are plainly visible
on a clear day. The drives from the
village in many directions rival in
beauty those to be found in the White
Mountain region, Until within few
years accommodations for summer
visitors We're very meager, but they
are now ample. The genial landlord
of the Mount Vernon House, Charles
w. Mansur, has thoroughly fitted up
his fine hotel for the accommodation
of guests. Mr.. Mansur has had much
experience in this line of work and
knows how to make his guests COM

The Departing Aliens.

There have been more aliens leaving
this country than arriving during the
first half of 1908, a condition of things
which will cause no grief among those
thoughtful persons who have seen a
great national menace in the steadily
rising tide of immigration. In 1907
there were 739.743 alien arrivals and
155, 1872 departures. In the first half of
1903 there have been 1856 arrivals
and 377S64 departures. Never before
in a whole year did so many people of
the laboring class leave this country as
left in this half year. More than this.
the immigration adds to the total eff
feet. 1t was 20 per cent. less than a
year ago. And this also breaks the
record for panic effects. The Spring
field Republican quotes the figures for
1893, showing that the decline in immi-
grafton then was from $4,000 in the
fiscal year to June 1902. to 300 in
1892, and from 314,467 in 1894, to 219,94S
in. 1895. So the relative decrease in
those wears was less than this year.
After 1873 the falling off was about
one-half in the two following years
and about fwo-thirds in three years.
Hitherto the greatest decline was from
7SS. 900 arrivals in 1882 to 1874 200 in 1886
a smaller relative shrinkage than the
present year.
Possibly greater proportion of re-
cent immigrants were labor adVentuf-
ers, so to speak; that is our abounding
prosperity attracted immigrants mere

He Followed.

A nervous commuter, on his dark,
lonely way home from the railroad
station. heard footsteps behind him.
He had an uncomfortable feeling that
he was being followed. He increased
his speed The footsteps quickened
accordingly. The commuter darted
down a lane. The footsteps still
pursued him. In desperation he
vaulted over a fence and, rushing into
a churchyard, threw himself painting
on one of the graves.
IF he follows me here" he thought
fearfully, there can be no doubt as to
his Intentions
The man behind was following. He
could hear him scrambling over the

his brain. Quivering with fear the
