KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving, and Some Prescott People Know How to
 Save it.

Many Prescott people take their lives in thelr hands by neglecting the kid neys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are rsyonsi- ble for vast amount of $ tfering and il IL alth. but there is no need to suf- fer Tor to remain in danger when all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and per manently cured by the use of Doan $ Kidney Pills. Here is a citizens re- commendation.
 A. s. Blythe, Prescott, Ark, says: I procured Doan's Kidney Pills at Hesterly's drug store, and they cured me of most distressing case of kidney disease that had annoyed me for sever al years. l had been bothered by a stiffness and soreness in the small of my back and too frequent passages of the kidney secretions, Doan's Kidney Pills soon corrected these difficulties and l have noticed no symptoms of a recurrence since.

WAFER HORSES BEFORE BREAK
 FAST.

1 water my horses the first thing in the morning. Some men think this is too much bother, but if the horse is fed, and watered afterward, much of the food will be washed out of the stomach before it is digested. For this reason 1 consider that watering before breakfast saves considerable feed and pays well for the little extra trouble 1t causes.
 1 once caused severe case of founder by allowing a driving mare to drink heavily rom a cool mountain stream while she was hot and thirsty. Every since that experience 1 have never allowed a horse to drink before he was cooled off. = (H. E. Mccartney, Ogle Go. III.)

There is a new game out call ed Tickle the Editor," says an exchange. It is played by talk ing an ordinary sheet of writing paper on which a few words ap- propriate for the occasion are written. Fold it carefully, en- closing a bank note or check for an amount sufficient to pay your back subscription and a year in advance, and mail 1t to the edi- tor. Or the game can be played without the slip of paper if you will hand the stated amount of coin to the editor in person. You can then see it's effect, and if the editor smiles you will know you played the game successfully. - Russellville Courier-Democrat.

confute the man who contends that the tariff has been reduced. This shows. for instance, that an increase of F per cent is made in the rate on laces and embroid- cries of whatsoever material they are made, save wool. When the matter was brought before the finance, ways and means committee of the house the re- quest was made that the rate be reduced from 60 per cent ad va loren to 50 per cent. Laces and embroideries never paid a higher duty than 40 per cent until the Mckinley bill put it at 60. The Wilson bill reduced it to 50, Dingley put it back to 60, and now 1t is 70, an unnecessarily high rate, as the evidence before the house committee clearly discloses.

 When you see a merchants ad in the county paper you can rest assured that that merchant wants your trade and is willing to ask for it through your county paper and will nine times out of ten give you a square deal, ' The merchant that refuses to tell you through the columns of your county paper what he has to sell and invite you to come to his store wants your money but Is not willing to spend one cent with the paper man to get it. But just let some of his folks marry, die or entertain and if the paper fails 10 make mention of 1t he is as mad as an old wet hen. The paper is all o. K. with him when he can use it for nothing.

wholly or partially demolished and
great ruin done when the large

In is said that ex-Vice Presi.

bassador Reid at the British court.
1t VIII require a man with purse
-quai to that of Fairbanks TO
keep the pace set by Mr.. Reid, the
"ealthieet and most prodigal of
all American Ambassadors. There
are very few candidates now for
am bassadorial positions-at least
tew In comparison with the num-
Der that were in the habit of ap-
plying fifteen or twenty years ago.
The reason given is that the rlch
men who formerly applied for and
secured these positions have been
hard hit by the panic and that
the cost Of living abroad in am
bassodorial style has greatly in
creased. Mr.. Fairbanks is we'll
equipped in manners, means and
mien for the place so long held
by Mr.. Reid He has not had
ambassadorial experience in Paris
as Mr.. Reid has and does not
speak French, but he speaks the
most widely used of all languages
and his long experience in Wash
ington as senator and vice presi-
dent and his social career in
whioh Mrs. Fairbanks has borne q
brilliant part, will peculiarly fit
MIN to dispense money and cour-
tesies at the Court of Saint
James.

The new GAME LAWS.
Hunters and Fishermen
Should Read This Twice
Before Going Gaming.

No subject considered by the last
legislature was watched with more
popular interest than that Of forests,
fish and game. House Bill No. 273
was passed substantially as 1t was
prepared by the commission ap-
pointed by Governor Dawson. The
general provisions contained in the
bill may be divided as follows:
PROHIBITS THE SALE OF GAME.
First: 1t prohibits the sale of
game, fishes, animals and birds.
This prohibition includes the sale
of trout, bass and salmon of the
fish, deer and squirrels of the ami.
male, and quail, pheasant, wild tur.
key and woodcock Of the birds.
HUNTERS MUST HAVE LICENSE.
Second: No one can hunt with.
out license. The license tax for
non residents and for unnaturaliZed
foreign residents will be sl5 so aud
for residents, natnralized or native,
81. Tie only exception TO this to
section is that a farmer, his chill.
dren or his tenant can hunt on his
own farm without such license
Third: No person can hunt up-
on .he enclosed or unclosed lands
of another without permission in
writing from the owner thereof.
WHEN AND HOW TO HUNT.
Fourth: No one can hunt or fish
on Sunday.
Fifth: Dynamiting fish is a fell
ony under this act.
Sixth: Selling or giving dyna.
mite to any one, knowing aid hav.
ing reason to believe, that it was to
be used in dynamiting fish, Is a mis-
demeanor.
Seventh: Shooting In or across
a public road, or within 400 feet of
3 school house is prohibited.
SETTING WOODS ON FIRE.
Eighth: Setting fire out in any
woods or fields of another, uegli-
gently or wilfully, is misdemean
or.
Ninth: The game wardens are
all fire wardens and shall extingnish
all fires in the forests OF their coun.
ties.
Tenth: The forest. game and
fish wardens are provided for there.
IN, and as many other deputies as
the warden sees fit to appoint.
AMOUNT OF KILLING LIMITED.
1t Is believed that this new game
law, whose chief provisions have
been briefly enumerated in The fore
going abstract, will be strictly en-
forced. Under this law only buck
deer with horns four inches long
Gao be killed, and these can only be
Killed from November 10 to Decem-
Der /. Only 90 quail, % pheasan,s
aud Wild turkeys can be killed by
one person IN one year.
THE OPEN SMALL GAME SEASON.
The open season for quail is from
November l to December 20; for
pheassnts and wild turkeys from
October 10 TO December /. Rab-
bits can be killed and sold any time.
FISH LADDERS IN DAMS.
Owners OF dam in rivers or
creeks must put in fish ladders.
Railroads must keep their right of
way clean and provide their engines
with 3 wire covering to prevent the
escape of fire and sparks therefrom.
There are many other things con.
tanned in the new game and fish
law that relate to the forests, game
and fish of the state; and for their
full understanding of the law, all
persons are referred to the printed
acts for the necessary complete and
full information contained therein.
WHEN LAW GOES INTO EFFECT.
Thus new law will go into effect

An "Unwieldlyo Body.

The Intelligencer fears that a state
senate consisting Of fifty. FIVE members,
one from each county, would be an ''un-
wieldly" legislative body. Doubtless
the lobby might find it rather more un-
wieldly than the present compact and
easily manipulated bunch. Morgan

A Word Of Warning.

Those in the habit of tax lodging
should beware o. law enacted at the last
session of the legislature. This law pro-
vides that in the event property owner
fails to return all his property for taxa
ton twenty five per cent shall be forfeit
ed, not only of the property he did not
return, but of the property he did return
as well. 1t is well that the people
should be informed rs TO such laws that
they may govern themselves according
ly. The law works no injury to the
man who believesit as shameful to rob
the community rs to steal from his
neighbor but is likely to prove disastrous
to the other kind.
