A STEADY DRAIN
Sick Kidneys Weaken The
Whole BOdy-MakeS You
Ill. Lansuid and Depressed

Sick kidneys weaken the body
through the continual drainage of
life giving albumen from the blood
into the urine, and the substitution
of poisonous uric acid that goes
broadcast through the system, sowing
the seeds of disease. Loss of
albumen causes weakness, langOur,
depression, Uric poisoning causes
rheumatic pain, nervousness, nausea,
cricks in the back, gravel and kid
ney stones. The proper treatment
is kidney treatment, and the best
remedy is DOan's Kidney ills.
Great Smyrna cures prove it.
Thomas Davis, Mail Carrier, living
on Main street, Smyrna, Del, says ::
"Both my wife and l have used
Doan's Kidney Pills with excellent
results. This remedy proved it's
merit and we believe it should be in
every home. About twenty years
ago | was troubled with my kidneys
and when | first learned of DOan' S
Kidney Pills was severely afflicted.
The action of the kidneys was weak
and frequent, and my sleep was
broken at night My back was weak
and lame and caused me almost
constant misery. When saw DOan' s
Kidney Pills so highly recommended

did me more good than anything

AN ISLAND OF MASSACRES.

Haiti has been the scene of more
massacres than any other place on
earth.
They began with the coming of Co
lumbus and the rabble rout that FOL
lowed him. In a few years its 3.000,-
600 gentle. brown skinned inhabitants
had perished utterly, exterminated by
fire and sword and by forced labor in
the mines, to which they were utterly
unsuited. In all history is no tragedy
more colossal and more pitiful than
this one.
Next the buccaneers seized the un-
happy island and wrealed vengeance
on the Spaniards in such a manner
that even the old chrOniclers tell of the
worst Of the atrocities only in the Latin
tongue.
Presently came the French. and for
brief space there was some semblance
of peace. But in 1893 the negroes re-
volted and murdered practically I'LL the

The Payment For Stuart's Portrait of

Gently has come into possession of the
papers relating to the negotiations be-
tween one of the Carroll family and
the government of the United States
for the payment of the money due for
the famous portrait of Washington by
Gilbert Stuart. This was the portrait
which in the war of 1872 was rescued
from the burning White House by the
intrepid Dolly Madison. Stuart paint
ed this portrait in Philadelphia in
1895. when in the height of his glory.
He but recently had returned from
London, where he had counted among
his subjects King George ". the
Prince of Wales. Mrs. SiddOnS and
many other celebrities, and he had the
temerity to ask congress for $500 for
his painting of the first patriot

GOING INTO DEBT.

The Middletown Register advises
working men to buy lot and gradu-
ally get home of their own, going
into debt to do so. The advice is
good. The average man need not
fear debt of reasonable proportions;
indeed, debt has been the making of
many man, through giving him an
incentive to work and save for-an
object in life. Even men who are
very we'll off, financially, are fire.
quently in debt, through the accumu-
lation of additional property, then ap-
plying their earnings toward pay
ment. Such plan sharpens mans
business qualifications, makes him
more industrious, and prevents the
waste of money for things harmful
and not essential.
No man should 60 in too deep: not
to the extent that debt stands as a
a continued worry and burden, with
but slight chance of ever getting clear
with the world, nor should debt be
assumed In which the chance of get
ting rid Of 1t depends on extraordinary
good luck but, aman can easily afford
to take average chances, and be all
the better for 1t, maintaining a good
credit at the same time. The Regis
ter says;
"Every laboring poor man should
buy himself town lot, get that paid
for, and then work to make the neces-
sary improvements. A little here
and little there will in due time pro-
dnce you home of your own, and
place you out of the landlord grasp
remember that fifty dollars a year
saved in rent, will in very few years
pay for your home, and the money it
costs you to move and shift about,
without loss of furniture and time,
pay the interest of a five hundred dol
lar Judgment against your property,
until you can gradually reduce it to
nothing. You can all buy that way
why do you not risk itl If you
fail you are no worse Off you sue
ceed, as any careful man Is sure to DO,
you have made home and established
a basis equal to another's which will
start you IN business.

LOOKING AT THE DEAD.

We do great many strange things
in this boasted age of civilization and
refinement, and one of them Is the
custom of putting the dead on exhi-
bition and allowing-even inviting
friends, acquaintance and even stran-
gers to come and gaze at them. 1t
will not do to call this a barbarous
custom, for at least among some races
ofbarbarians it is a practice not known.
Why we follow this custom it Is hard
tosssay
of course, who enjoy going to funer-
ais, and who feel injured if they are
not allowed an opportunity to look at
the departed ones lying in their cofins.
But these are exceptional. The aver
age man and woman shivers at the
sight of dead face, and hastily passes
by, wishing to forget it as soon as pos
sible. It Is not the face of the friend
they have known, and its stony silence
and awful change cause them to re-
gret that they have given it place
in memory that will hide the vision
of the friend as they saw him In life.
Yet these same persons submit to the
custom over and over and arrange for
its observance when death visits their
own families, as If it were privilege
which could not be denied the public.
1t is apparently never considered
that the dead have rights which ought
to be respected, and that if they could
speak they would forbid the display
of their mortal frames to cold-eyed
observers, preferring to be remember
ed as they were in life. 1t Is likely
that.death takes on an added terror
with many a person because of the
thought that it involves helpless ex-
hibition of the lifeless body to pro-
cession of shuddering mourners.-

AN AGE OF COMFORT.

A writer in an Eastern paper sees
great danger in the existence of the
luxuries now enjoyed or sought to be
enjoyed, ,even by people of small means.
Luxury, he says, raises ones S standard
ofliving, leads to extraYaganGe and de-

will advance in the scale and form
habits for his successors reaching the
danger point.
This IS another form of the "sim-
pie life" argument of which we heard
so much a year or two ago. The
Pastor Wagner cult was based on the
principle of plain living and high
thinking this sees the destruction of
self-restraint and moral degeneracy
in the good things of the age. The
same cry has been raised all along the
way since the day when the Puritans
by force of necessity lived the plain
life, and yet even those who preach
simplicity would not, If they could,
return to the life of the fathers. Tele-
phone, telegraph, electric street cars,
rapid transit, well-heated houses, fac
tory-made or shop-made instead of
homemade clothing, many varieties OF
food prepared for household use, innu-
merable labor saving contrivances-
all these are things that our ancestors
of a generation or so ago knew moth
ing gabout. They were luxuries when
they first became known they are
necessities now and part of the nat
ural development of the age. The
use of them is part of twentieth CEN
tury life and no one dreams of the fol-
ly of refusing their use because they
set a standard of living beyond that
established by our ancestors.
