The Almighty Dollar.

A drummer on the train a few
days since, who lives in Memphis,
was talking about'the utter disre-
gard of the prohibitory law by the
saloon men in rhat city. AS he
stated it, the saloons were running
there just "a before the state wide
law was enacted. He further
stated that vote in that city
would show majority for the sa-
looms of Z to l.
And yet" said he; no man
can defend whiskey or the saloon.
They are recognized as great ev-
lis by everybody, but the people
of Memphis have an idea that pro-
hibition will hurt the financial
prosperity of the city, and it is
the argument of the dollar that
turns the scale. -

HEALTH BAROMETER.
Some Simple Methods Of De-
termining the Presence Of
Serious Diseases in the Body.

Key to health.
The urine is an unerring indicator of
bodily health.
Exhaustive scientific study has devel-
oped the fact that through the urine it is
possible to largely determine the disease
with which the victim is afflicted.
For instance, scanty passages of dark
colored or cloudy urine containing red
dish or white sediment is an infallible
sign of kidney trouble and should be
given quick attention. If neglected the
absorbent vessels which gather up the
liquids of the body to be expelled as
urine give way and allow the water to
back up and spread itself through the
inner cavities of the body, ultimately
poisoning the whole system and produce
ing a condition known as dropsy.
Frequent passages of large quantities
of urine, colorless and of sweet odor in
dicates diabetes.
The presence of albumen in the urine
is an evidence of Bright's Disease.
Bile in the urine is a warning that the
liver is torpid.
These several irregularities of the urine
prove conclusively the existence of
disease of serious import to the victim.
The safe course is to begin treatment as
soon as its existence is known.
Prick1y Ash Bitters exercises highly
beneficial influence in the kidneys and
urinary organs. 1t quickly arrests the
progress of the disease, strengthens the
kidneys and organs which have to do
with the urine SO that they can fully per-
form their duties of keeping the body
free from uric acid poison and other i'm
purities.
Prickly Ash Bitters has earned repu-
tation that puts it beyond comparison
with other remedies designed for kidney
and bladder ailments. Its record rests
upon the marvellous success that has fol-
lowed its use wherever it has been tried.
Many physicians praise its efficacy in
diseases of the kidneys and urinary or
gans, although they are opposed to pro.
prietary remedies as class.
II can recommend Prickly Ash Bitters to be
the best kidney medicine in the world" says d.
r. Robinson, Jelks, Mo. Thousands of others
from all parts of the Union give willing testimony
as to the great curative powers Of Prickly Ash
Btters for urinary, liver and kidney troubles.

 All history teaches that it is unsafe to generalise from apparent tendencies If the times. Napoleon said at St. Helena that Europe would be republican or Cossack in less than ascentury. and time has proved him wrong. While Queen Victoria lived and reisned and her oldest son was scandal izing many of her subjects, 1t was often predicted in America that the good queen would be the last British sovereign. Now ever was and just 50 secure on his throne. |. Such instances might be multiplied indef- initely.
 Yet 1t is certain that the day of kings and emperors shortens constantly There is eternity for hereditary personal rule ing Events move steadily toward the year when the last throne will fall and :he last scepter will be taken from the powerless hand of the last monarch. The tendency In that directions Is strikingly clear and strong at present in Europe yand Asia.
 The Spanish throne totters, as all the world can see. In Turkey the dethronement of strong and crafty sultan leaves the way open to make others mere figureheads at first and then dispose of them altogether. The successful Persian reYo1utionists would need little more trouble with reacdonary or tricky moparchs to abolish the entire hereditary principle in the government of within easy reach of republican instituti pms. The army alone sustains the Czar and mlli- tary force Is dubious foundation, in this age, for any government
 Probably the last thrones to fall will be those occupied by the most powerless sover- eigns. Some may stand for century or more, but the day of kings and emperors hastens toward it's close, nevertheless.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 2A, 1909.

The announcement that President Taft went hunting in an automobile looks as if hs is taking en unfair ad- vantage of his predecessor. We have not heard that there are any autos In that portion of Africa now inhabited by Theodore the Mighty Hunter, and sven if there are we doubt if one rould be operated in the jungles where he goes to kill dig-digs. ground-hogs and other dangerous wild animals. so he must allow MT. Taft to score a vic- tory over him. True, the story was given to the, gaping world that he made trip on a cow-catcher. but that k nothing to the exploit of going hunting in an automobile. MT. Taft ought not to thus endeavor to eclipse Teddy.
