FAMILY CARES
This Information May Be Of Value to
Many a Mother in Cairo.

When there is added to the many
cares inseparable from the rearing OF
children that affection of weakness
of the kidneys and auxiliary organs,
the mothers lot is far from a happy
one This condition can be quickly
changed and absolutely cured by the
use of Doan's Kidney Pills. When
this is known the mothers burden
will be lighter and her home happier.
Mrs. W. S. Stackhouse, Az Eigh-
teenth street, Cairo, ILL.,, says; MY
little boy suffered from weak kidneys
for almost four years and was I'M
able to find a remedy that would
help him. He did not have any con
troll over the kidney secretions at
night anI this weakness was a
source CT much annoyance. At one
time | had taken Doan's Kidney Pills
and they had helped me so greatly

speak with special reference to the rev.
embarrassing qualities of the bill. His
associates on the committee say he
will be handicapped by reason of the
fact that the bill is yet incomplete.
Several schedules are yet to be per-
fected, the maximum and minimum
features have not been worked out to
the satisfaction of all the members o.
the committee and, the administrative
features, which are of large Importance
have not been agreed upon.
Aidrich Will Start It.
Senator Aldrich promises to have
these features completed by the end
of next week. The prevailing i'm
preston is that, the general debate on
the bill will last month.
The general situation is chaotic.
Whether the chairman of the finance
committee, the boss of the senate. will
be able to command enough votes to
do things as he would have them done
remains to be seen.
Party Lines May Not Count.
Opposition to the bill, coming from
both democrats and republicans. will
be based largely on the assertion that
it is constructed in the interest of the

great industries which for so many
years have grown fat off the tariff.
Privately. many of the senator's are
saying that it is bill in the interest
of the trusts. How much stress they
will lay on this charge when it comes
to open debate is a question.
Apparently the proposition to levy
an income tax and to put the question
of the constitutionality of such tax up
to the supreme court again will pro-
woke much discussion.
income and Inheritance Tax.
On Monday Senator Cummins OF
Iowa. will introduce his income tax
amendment which does not differ ma
terially from that introduced last
Thursday by Senator Bailey of Texas.
The Iowa Senator believes there are
at least fifteen republican senators VINO
will support such an amendment. Ev-
identity the opponents of such a tax
among the republicans are counting on
some of the democrats voting against
the amendment. Then there is the
inheritance tax amendment, which is
favored by some of the republicans and
many of the democrats. While Sea-
ator Aldrich has refrained from ex-
pressing his views about these various
propositions for special taxes, the I'M
preston prevails that he is disposed to
be against any and all of them unless,
at the last moment, he sees that in Or
der to raise money enough to keep the
wheels of government going he must
accept some new scheme.

thing. vice and virtues, and proper
ton to material things and the inten-
sity of moral forces. The first exam
pie he gives of this exaggeration is
the usual description of New York as
the scene of frenzied hustling. He
says:
My first surprise was to find my
self in a city where the movement,
while certainly considerable, was less
than in Paris. Except for twice daily,
even in Wall street there is compare
tive calm. The second exaggeration
is the description of America as a
land where everyone thinks only of
getting money"
Mammon Not American God.
Signor Ferrero says:
Il easily ascertained the falseness
of this opinion. There certainly are
many in America who think only of
money getting, but this class is not
unknown in Europe. The mania is
characteristic of our civilization.
From what / have seen l no longer

Defining as the most evident mani
festation of a nations ideal spirit the
existence of people who, instead of
working to increase their own for
tunes, prefer to do charitable works to
carry on religious propaganda. or fol-
low scientific or literary pursuits.
Signor Ferrero says that. without
risking comparison between the two
continents, it is impossible to know
the true American society without be-
ing struck by the large number Of
persons who have abandoned lucra-
tive affairs for such ideals.
Too Much ldealism.
Certainly they are not in majority
any more than they are in Europe. In
fact Signor Ferrero questions wheth-
er there is not too much idealism in
America.
Another proof of American idealism
is the social position Of those who
represent intellectual culture So far

seemed to Signor Ferrero, although an
European and a man Of letters. to be
almost excessive.
In support of this he cites the wide
spread interest taken in DR.. Eliot's
resignation as president OF Harvard
University and in the election OF his
successor, which was veritable ma
tional affair.

President Taft's cabinet of nine men
secretary of state, who was born
in 1853 at Brownsville, Pa. He
graduated from Mount Union college,
Ohio, in 1872, and three years later
was admitted to the bar. During the

sistant United States district attorney
for the western district of Pennsyl-
vania. In the latter year he formed
a law partnership with James H. Reed
which still exists and which has rep
resented many large corporations, in
Guiding the Carnegie Company. Mr..
Knox entered President McKlnley's
cabinet as attorney general in April,
1901, serving until 1904, when he was

Chester county, Pennsylvania, gradu-
ated from Yale in 1852 and from
Columbia Law school in 1854 He be-
gan the practice of law in New York
city but ill-health forced him to aban-
don it and in 1866 he went to Chicago
and engaged in the wholesale grocery
business. In this and other CONNER
cial pursuits he has amassed a large
fortune Before entering the cabinet
he disposed of his holdings in the big
grocery firm and resigned as director
of the Commercial National bank Of
Chicago. Mr. MacVeagh has always
been interested in movements for the
public welfare, locally and nationally.
Wilson Retains His Place.
Only one member of the Roosevelt
cabinet retains his portfolio under
Mr.. Taft That is James Wilson OF
Iowa, secretary of agriculture. So ex-
cellent had been his work in that posi-
ton that there was no serious talk of
making a change. Born in Scotland in
1885, Mr. Wilson came to the United
States in 1852 and three years later
settled in Iowa. In 1861 he engaged in
farming in Tama county. He was a

postmaster general to manage success
fully the Taft presidential campaign.
He has been given the Office of post
master general in the new cabinet.
Mr.. Hitchcock was born at Amherst,
O., in 1867, and graduated from Har-
ward in 1891 and from Columbia Law
school in 1894 Since 1891 he has

Missouri has been rewarded for its
switch to the Republican column by
the appointment of Charles Nagel as
secretary of commerce and labor. Mr..

Turn to the Right Naturally.

The Philadelphia Record recently
quoted an observant street car conduc-
tor TO the effect that the right hand
seats are always filed first. He could
not account for this except on the
theory that as most persons are right
handed and accustomed to turning to
the right, it might be simply force of
habit. There is another probable
reason which he did not think Of"
says the Record. ut is generally be-
lieved that the right side Of car is
safer. An old traveller once said to
the writer: In travelling always sit in
the middle of car and on the right
hand SIDE The middle is safer than
the ends in a collision and the right
side is mt likely to be 'side-swiped"
by projecting objects on trains, cars
or any vehicles passing on the ada
cent track
