Have You Ever Stopped to
Think About Your Health ?

Are you as well, strong and vigorous
as you used to be?
Are you sometimes discouraged, and
think you'll never be any better?
Can you tell the cause of your trou-
BILE, or what makes you sick?
Do you know that about nine-tenths
of all sickness is caused by kidney trou-
BILE?
Have you ever stopped to think that
your kidneys may be the cause of your
poor health?
Nest people do not realize how much
work the kidneys are required to do
every day.
Every drop of blood in the body must
pass through and be filtered by the
kidneys thousands of times a day.
How can they do their work well if
they are sick?
If your kidneys need treatment, DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root will prove to be
just the medicine you need.
If you will write to DR.. Kilnner &
Co, Binghamton, n. Y, every reader

ceive sample bottle by mail, abso-

As Yokohama is generally pretty warm
in Summer, the Bluff is considered par

attractive, with lovely gardens and we'll

irregularity of these numbers excite the
curiosity of the stranger, who finds upon
inquiry that the houses were numbered
in the order of their building, the first

disappointing mt First.
Yokohama is at first very disappoint-
ing to the tourist. 1t is not at all what
one has imagined Japan to be. The
broad streets and big buildings of the
Settlement are entirely too European to
be interesting. The Bund, which
stretches along the water front, where
are situated the best hotels, clubhOuses,
some shops and residences, is quite at
tractive, but not japanese enough to be
picturesque. The life of the big harbor,
however, is most spectacular, ;illed with
every conceivable kind of water craft,

steamer and big white man-of-Svar Four

very eminent Republican political au-
thorities say that four or five Indiana
Republicans are marked for defeat at
the polls, and that there are quite as
many each in Ohio and Illinois. There
is no question about things being in
very unsatisfactory shape, not alone in
these States, but in other States Wher-
ever there is a Congressional District
that is likely to be affected by the hard
times and the current idscnntent the
members are Fastening home as often
as they can and staying as long as pos
sible to fix up the fences, egen tho it is

The conventions for the election OF
delegates to the Chicago Convention are
now in full swing, and the Representa-
tives generally have an eye1 over those
gatherings. In many cases the Repre-
sentatives are depending for renomi-
nation on those very conventions, in
stead of at separate conventions, as is
the custom in some of the States.
There is already cry abroad about
the Democrats winning a majority of
the House in the next electipb anyway,
dental election That should be ac-
cepted with lot Of allowance, for ac-
cording to nearly all precedents if the
Republicans win the Presidential cleo
ton they will also retain control of the
House. and if the Democrats win the
Presidency they will have a majority of
the House with them.

that its Representatives in Congress are
already alarmed and fighting to, secure
denominations and re-elections. They

things may look in Ohio now, they will

an1 this is not the hour TO. pass final
judgment about what majorities at the
polls viii be.
In the coming campaign the Repub-
licans will have very competent Chair
man of the Democratic Congressional
Committee to contend with. and that
gives them some extra uneasiness. Rep
resentatiye James T. Lloyd, of Shelby
vile, Mo, is a very practical, level
headed business man, who knows some
thing about politics as Northern people
play the game. He was elected Chair
man weeks ago, and Immediately set
about organizing for his campaign along
methodicaI lines. Two years ago he
had charge of the Democratic Westernl
headquarters at Chicago and carried
himself so well that he is credited with
having won half dozen seats for the
Democracy in the Western country.
Mr.. Lloyd has been going over the list !
of close Congressional Districts very
carefully, and intends to center his
fight on some 80 or 40 districts where
he believes there is some chance of

place to place are generally, a perfect

not for them. The welT-to- do women of
the middle class usually wear a silk
kimono of narrow stripes of gray and
black. Her obi is of some contrasting
but beautifully harmonizing color. Her
shining black hair is always elaborately
dressed, but she wears onlyrI one orna-
mental pin on public occasions. which
is generally made of tortoise shell
tipped with gold. Stuck in her obi. a
little to the side, is always the pretty
paper fan of a hue which carries out
the color scheme of her toilet. She is
invariably so exquisitely clean and fin
iShed in appearance, and she looks so
thoroly comfortable, that when she is
seen in European dress one wonders
how she ever brought herself to give
up her own becoming, charming ma

Diet, or Parliament, met in 1891 and
started Japan upon her present career
of constitutional government. In
other words. Japan, inside of 40 years,
has accomplished changes from feudal-
ism to constitutionalism, which have
taken the countries of Europe centuries
to accomplish. How real and deep
seated this complete overturning of
japanese institutions is in reality has
been much questioned, with many
thinkers believing that it is merely SUI
perficial and not lasting. However,
the japanese have had two great for
eign wars to immensely help solidify
them. The war with China in 1894
over Korea resulted in China's utter
defeat, the cession of the important
island of Formosa to Japan and the
payment of an immense indemnity.
Japan formally entered the circle of
world powers by taking a prominent
part with. them in 1900 in suppr essing
the Chinese Boxers. Since then has
come the colossal war with Russia.

visited ii in 1854, it was an insignificant
Fishing village, and the American naval
commander gave names to several
points in the neighborhood. When the
Government, under the treaty made
with the United States, decided to open
treaty port in this part of Japan the
thriving town of Kanagawa, opposite
Yokohama, was chosen, but on account
of the situation of the former on the
post road and highway leading directly
to Toxic, the Japanese Government
feared trouble between the foreigners
and the armed retainers of the DaimioS,
who were constantly passing to and
from the Capital, and it therefore gave
facilities for leasing ground in Yoko-
hama instead. Thither, accordingly, the
merchants, anxious to open up trade,
repaired in 1858. The Consuls protest
ed against the change. but in vain, and
the only existing result of their protest
is the retention of the name kanagawa
in certain official papers, which recog-
nizes ii as the name of the great port
on Yedo Bay, tho the consulates, banks,
hotels, clubs and business streets are
miles away. The superiority oe the
Yokohama anchorage, however, soon
