WORK WEAKENS THE KIDNEYS
DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS HAVE DONE
GREAT SERVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO
WORK IN STACNTON.

Most Staunton people work every day
in some strained, unnatural position
bending constantly over desk-riding
on jOlting wagons or cars-doing labo-
rious housework lifting, reaching or
pulling, or trying the back in hun
dred and one other ways. All these
strains tend to wear, weaken and in
jure the kidneys until they fall behind
in their work of filtering the poisons
from the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills
cure sick kidneys, put new strength in
bad backs.
Thomas M. Richardson, living in
Cambell, near Luray, Va, says: 81

WE SHORTEN OUR LIVES.
HUMAN BEINGS SHOULD LIVE AT
LEAST A HUNDRED YEARS.

LEAST A HUNDRED YEARS.
Charles III. Cochrane in Metropolitan
M agazine says: Every man who dies
before he is hundred years old does
so because he has neglected the laws of
health. L believe the time will come
when men will commonly live to be
$50 years old. But to do this they
must be born right and be taught mat
ters of health with their A b C's.
A majority of the people of America
lose about thirty years of life through
not understanding or not following the
demand of nature for regular and ade-
quate exercise. Our systems of civili-
zation have worked vast improve
ment in production by training men
to special lines of work. Thus they
become wonderfully proficient. To see
man rattling up long columns Of
reading matter on linotype machine
is inspiring, to hear a lawyer clearly
and incisively summing up a case fills
one with admiration, to read a strong,
forceful editorial affords pleasure at the
thoughts so well expressed, to watch
the violinist and listen to the sweet
melodies he draws from the strings
watts our souls to higher realms, yet
the requirement of each and all these
abilities has robbed the trained or tai
ented performers of something else
The linotype is wearing out his nerves
in setting type at such a rapid pace
the oratOry of the lawyer has been ac-
quired at the expense of a dyspeptic
stomach the man who wins us with
his facile pen envies the strength of the
sturdy laborer shoveling in the street
the virtuoso would fain have the appe-
tite of the performer on the big horn in
the little street band.
In thus specializing each is apt to
neglect the routine work for all the
muscles that nature demands to keep
up the physique. Had each of these
performers or geniuses done his stint of
work on a farm, raising the food he
consumed, he would have been less
skilled in his vocation, but possessed of
vastly better health. And all would live
out not only their full seventy, but a
round hundred or more years.

American Vulgarity.

The old-fashioned American who en-
joyed hearing the eagle scream will find
much satisfaction in Ellen Terry's
"My First Appearance in America in
the June McClure's.
"'Are you glad to get bacl<?' said an
English friend.
"'Very'
"'It's land of vulgarity, isn't it?'
"Oh, yes, if you mean by that a
wonderful land-a land of sunshine and
light, of happiness, of faith in the fut-
uren | answered. l saw no misery or
poverty there. Everyone looked happy.
What hurts me on coming back to
England is the hopeless look on SO
many faces; the detection and apathy
of the people standing about in the
streets. Of course there is poverty in
New York, but not among the Ameri-
cans. The Italians, the Russians, the
Poles-all the host of immigrants
washed in daily across the harbour
these are poor, but you don't see them
unless you go Bowery ways and even
then you can't help feeling that in
their sufferings there is always hope.
Vulgarity? | saw little of it. | thought
that the people who had amassed large
fortunes used their wealth beautifully.
When man is rich enough to build
himself big, new house, he remem-
bers some old house which he once ad-
mired, and he has it initiated with all
the technical skill and care that can be
had in America. This accounts for the
odd tumble of styles in Fifth Avenue,
along the lakeside in Chicago, in the
new avenues in st. Louis and else
where. One millionaire's house is
modelled on French chateau, another
on an old Colonial house in Virginia,
another on monastery in Mexico,
another is like an Italian palazzo. And
their limitations are never weak or pre-
tentious"

THE CHURCHVILLE PIKE.

The flashing mobile sweeps along,
Like boat on a Holland dyke;
While the rumble of the country coach,
Proclaims we're on the Pike.
The landscape lost in hazy blue,
The pastoral scenes that strike;
The groves, where songsters thrill and
sing,
Are all along the Pike.
The cOzy homes with comfort rife,
Which ever are are unlike;
The ripping brooklet at our feet,
Meanders by the Pike.
The river signing on the breeze,
The hills in emerald dixie;
The crystal spring just meath the trees,
Is seen beside the Pike.
NV native hamlet looms in sight,
The bees buzz to their byke
The amber sunset fades from light,
AS it floods the Churchville Pike.

Farmers May Count on Better Prices
For Wheat.

Recent conditions of the European
wheat market and supply seem to
promise good price to the American
farmer for the growing crop, says the
Baltimore Sun. According to reports
that have come from the other side
there was sudden falling off in Ar
gentine shipments and then the i'm
porting countries of Europe began to
take stock and discovered that the
available supply will scarcely carry
them until harvest. Millers in the
Northwest have been industriously
looking up all the wheat in their sec
ton for immediate use to supply the
strong demand for flour. All these
things acting together caused sharp
advance in the price of wheat. If this
demand is maintained until the grow
ing crop is ready for shipment it will
have most beneficial effects upon the
financial condition of this country.
The average surplus which the United
States can spare from each crop, after
reserving enough for bread and seed,
has in the last few years been about
200, 900, 600 bushels out of full crop.
The difference, therefore, between dol
lar wheat and eighty-cent wheat means
not less than S40,00O,00O in gold to
come into the country. The outlook
for good prices is most encouraging to
the country as whole. Not only this,
but the present promise is for an
abundant harvest, which means, if the
promise is realized, that we will have
$500, ,00O, 600 in gold from the wheat eX-
ports with which to pay for our pur-
chases in Europe and the bills of the
American tourists. How long we will
continue to have 200, ,00O, 600 bushels of
wheat to sell is uncertain. The con-
SumerS of bread in this country have
been increasing at the rate of more
than million a year-in fact, thirteen
millions in 10 years from 1890 to 1900
Each decade the United States needs
an increased supply for home consump-
ton of ten million barrels of flour, or
$4,000, 900 bushels of wheat, and the
crop has not been increasing in that
ratio
