Are You Sure Your Kidneys
Are weII2

Many rheumatic attacks are due to
uric acid in the blood. But the duty of
the kidneys is to remove all uric acid
from the blood. Its presence there shows
the kidneys are inactive. Don't daily
with uric acid solvents. You might
go on till doomsday with them, but un-
till you cure your kidneys you will ncv
er get well. Doan's Kidney Pills not
only remove uric acid but cure the kid
neys and then all danger from uric acid
is ended. Here is Mineral Point testi-
mony to prove it.

and how little the people at large know
concerning it.
The whole nation has been a football

If any of our readers wish to know
the history of this mighty octopus,
which now defes the government, we
advise them to send for the February
number of the Moody magazine which
contains a complete history of all its
transactions, written by John Moody,
editor of that very able, financial mag
azine. One item Of this history seems
amazing Mr. Moody states that the
whole Of this great property, costing in
net expenditure over $50, 00O 600 with
bond issue Of over Sl0l, 900, 900 and earn
ing today over $40, 600, 600, actually
changed hands only ten years ago on a
net cash payment of less than $14, Gee,
00O-a sum which it now earns in net
profits in four months time.
The people appreciate the courage
and ability of Theodore Roosevelt in
this mighty struggle to save the gov
eminent and nation from being swallow
ed up by a gang Of Wall street thieves.

THE RATHER.
II Rarely Sounds Its Note Of Warning
Until Attacked.


Contrary To the general belief, the
rattler rarely gives its characteristic
note of warning until actually attack
ed. In fact, the sharp, vibrant ring Of
its terminal appendage is probably de-
signed more TO assist this very slug
clsh serpent To obtain its food than to
sound defiance or warning. In the
first place, serpents POSSESS but the
most rudimentary traces of auditory
apparatus and are practically deaf. the
deficiency in the sense of hearing be-
ing compensated FOR by an extreme
constituencies of feeling which makes
them aware of the approach of moving
objects by the vibration of the ground.
Hunters, treading cautiously upon a
soft CARPET Of moss or leaves to avoid
alarming game will often step close
TO or over a rattler without disturbing
It or receiving warning, and while
many snakes are seen and killed by
them II is probable that a far greater
number are passed by unnoticed. All
snakes are timid ana would rather run
than fight, and the rattler is not invit-
ing certain destruction by advertising
its whereabouts in the bruSh.-Francis

Down in Oklahoma farmers are
forming "acre clubs, each member
taking one acre for an experimental
crop, doing his best with it, and when
the season is over reporting his eXper-
fence, inclusive Of mistakes, and de-
scribing his methods. This is the most
practical form Of agricultural education
and the plan might well be adopted
elsewhere. Few farmers are 50 skilled
in agricultural science than they can
not learn something from their associ-
ates. The Oklahoma plan is a kind Of
extension Of the experiment station, a
reproduction in miniature on the midi
vidual farm of the principles governing
the stations 1t is most excellent
idea and if generally carried out will
prove of great educational benefit.

Emergency relief measures thus far
have been few. Chicago, which prob
ably has a relatively larger number of
unemployed than most cities, has been
furnishing work on the streets to all
applicants, three days keep at the
Municipal Lodging House being given
for one days work. A committee of
business men is raising fund Of Sl00,
600 to be paid out in wages to men
with families. New York may hurry
forward work on a new subway. Pitts
burg has voted to extend its water sys-
tenn, $350,O0O of the amount appro-
priated to be available for wages. In
Columbus, Ohio, a committee of which
the Mayor is chairman, raised money
by an emergency day, which is being
spent in wages for street work. Gin
cinnatti has appropriated 500, 600 for
work in the parks. The Indianapolis
Associated Charities has a novel plan.
Cottages are being erected by unem-
ployed men ON lots which it owns, and
the occupants will be widows with chill
dren who are pensioners of the organi-
cation. There has been talk in New
York Of greatly extending as a work
test the use of the stoue-quarry on
Blackwellk's Island, and while no def
nate steps looking toward this have
been announced, it is believed to have
had salutary effect on Migrants. Ill
is noteworthy that in all these public
movements organized charity, either
directly or through its officers, has
taken the dominate part. The forces
which, with the army, effected the re-
lief and rehabilitation Of San Francisco,
have proved equal to a national situa-
ton, and have averted what might have
proved a calamity had soup kitchens

Whitewater Register: The Senate
committee has made a report favor
able on the House bill which increases
all eight dollar pensions for widows to
twelve dollars and allows widows who
have no pension twelve dollars. The
senate is sure to pass the bill. Some
people seem to have the impression
that the new bin will include that class
of widows made up Of slips of girls
and bad grade Of women who within
the past few years have married men
tally and physically enfeebled veterans
in Soldiers Homes, or elsewhere, or
who hereafter marry such veterans,

WAsHINGToN, June The attempt of

prices it fixed ON copyrighted novels was

in three cases brought by the Scribners
and the Bobbs-Merrill Company. who sought
to enjoin r. H. Macy 1. Go. from selling
such books at cut prices. -,
The claim was made by the Publishers
Association that the Macy company was
guilty Of contributory Infringement by
inducing the members of the association,
to violate its rule az to prices and that the
right TO sell as well as the right to publish
was protected by the copyright. This was
denied by the Court which held that the
statute did not include protection OF the
right TO Nend. To read that into the law,
