WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their UnceasinS Work Keeps
us Strong And Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kindeys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
toms pain in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot dry skin, rheumatism
gOut, gravel, disorders of the eyesight
and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart,
debility, drOwsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But if you keep
the filters right you will have no
trouble with your kidneys.
William Robinson, Oyster Dealer,
living in Smyrna, Del, says: Il
suffered with disordered kidneys for
four years. The trouble began with
a severe backache which bothered me
a great deal, and later, the kidneys
became weak and irregular in action.
The doctor stated l had inflammation
of the bladder but medicine failed to
give me any relief until l procured
DOan's Kidney Pills Cliftons &
Raymond's Pharmacy. After using
this remedy a short time l was
almost entirely we'll again. l am
pleased to recommend DOan's Kidney
Pills to others. -

SUMMER WEATHER
Mercury Goes High, but the Desert
 Heat is not IntoIerabe.

Real desert summer weather has been ''in full force and effect" in I'm perial Valley for about two weeks, and although many people have gone has been no suffering and very little discomfort among those who remain. The notion that Imperial Valley sum- mers are intolerable is all humbug, but it has been talked so much that peo- pie accept it and make themselves be- lieve that only very hardy persons or salamanders can stay here. At the first breath of hot wind, away fly the women, leaving their husbands to frizzle, as they suppose. The hus- bands are supposed to be tough and fire-proof. In course of time the sheol myth will die, and residents of Imperial Valley will do as the inhabf- tants of other regions-take vacations if they can conveniently, or stay at home and take the weather as mat ter of course.
 The air has been dry as a rule, but humidity last Thursday morning, which made the heat more sticky" than usual. The relative humidity is indicated by the difference between dry and wet bulb thermometer read ings; the drier the air, the greater the difference. Following is a record of the readings at 1.30 D. m. daily on the Press instrupent, exposed upon the north wall of a brick building six feet above the sidewalk

Drake O., No. 94 South Market street, "and what he should do is to double his orders, cut his retail price in half, and thus dis pose of the crop. The public would buy. They would be only too glad to get rich melons at a reasonable price. Instead of that the dealers refuse to increase their orders, and continue to sell cantaloupes at two for a quarter.
 They are paying $1.75 for a crate of melons, and selling the crate at re- tail for $6"

tions on Imperial Valley cantaloupes were: Jumbos, $2.50; standards, $1.S0 and ponies $1.37h In Chicago, on the same day our standard melons brought $1.75 per crate, while the ponies sold for $1.25.
 The Georgia melons come in compe- tition with the valley product, and these were quoted on Wednesday at fifty cents to $1.25 per crate for stand ards; and from forty to seventy-five cents per crate for the ponies.
 The hope of the distributors is that the stimulus of the national holiday may cause a large increase in con- sumption of melons, and that this will prove an important factor in putting the melon market back on safe basis again.
 Total Shipments.
 The total shipments of cantaloupes from Imperial Valley have reached 1461 carloads or almost three times the number of carloads sent out last season.
 Many fields are just coming into their prime, and should the market conditions so adjust themselves as to warrant continued shipping, the crop ought to last for fully three weeks yet.
 The Labor Situation.
 A forerunner of the troubles which seem certain to arise in various parts of the valley over the payment of la borers was that of a suit in Justice Tout's court on Wednesday. This was the case of J. Ziegler against w.. H. Slaton, wherein he seeks to recover wages for cantaloupe picking It has been continued for one week.
 The difficulty is that melon-growers have engaged and employed help with the expectation of having money from their melon sales to meet the pay rolls In this they have been disap- pointed, and in many cases the grow CTS are absolutely unable to pay their helpers until their melon returns are received. It is said that nearly every attorney in the valley has been visited by wOrkmen who seek to enforce col lectiOns on labor accounts.
 Many Fields Abandoned.
 AS was to be expected with the re- markedly large acreage of melons in the valley this season, many fields have been abandoned by their owners because of the cost of maintenance and the poor prospects of returns from shipments. in some cases drOves of hogs have been turned in on the melon patches, which have hundreds of crates of the choicest cantaloupes on may be apparent later in the season. Other growers are taking good care of their fields and will be in a position to put fine melons on the market all through the latter part of the season.
 Greedy Retailers.
 A dispatch from Boston to the Los Angeles Times gives as one of the reasons for the slump in the canta- loupe market the shortsighted greed of retailers The telegram is as fol- lows:
 The 1908 crop of cantaloupes is the greatest in years, yet wholesale deal CTS cannot sell them, and producers are likely to suffer heavy loss
 The fruit is rotting on the hands of the big wholesalers, while the public, anxious to buy, is deterred because of high prices. The reason for this, ac- cording to the big wholesalers, is the course adopted by the retailers.
 Tn former years cantaloupes have sold at from ten to fifteen cents each to consumers, and the retailers has paid from one-half to two-thirds of that amount. This year the retailer buys the melons at from 21a to four

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE
THE LOG-DOOK

VICTORIA, September 6.-Optimism
in connection with the new subsidized
route between Canada and Mexico. and
incidentally by this agency between Ca
NADIA and Europe via the Tehuantepec
Railway, is expressed by H. c. Wal
dron, who is now visiting Western Ca
NADIA in connection with the Mexican
lines, of which he is one of the officers.
All arrangements with the Tehuante-
pee Railway and the archaeological
Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, the
American-Hawaiian line and other con-
Meeting companies have been complet-
ed said Mr. Waldron. Il expect to
receive a ratification of the freight ia
riff prepared by our company within a
few days" Asked if the tariff to
Europe via the Mexican line
and The Isthmus would be lower than
on the direct lines to Europe via the
Orient, Mr.. Waldron said: "The tariff
we have prepared will give lower rates,
If it is accepted, as it most probably
will be, by the Atlantic steamship lines
For example, we propose to carry sal
mon to England at 35s, or rs Cd less
than the rate via the Orient. The
freight will have quick delivery, and
hope that fifty days to Liverpool and
other English ports and twenty-six
days to New York will be about the
maximum. The splendid facilities of
the ports of Salina Cruz and Puerto
Mexico enable the Tehuantepec Rail
way to handle freight between con-
Meeting steamers without damage. II
have every reason to believe the new
service will be very popular and will
result in large freight being sent be-
