Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole

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, Ian

rheumatic pain, nervousness, nausea,
cricks in the back, gravel and kidney
stones. The proper treatment is q kid

WEALTH NOT ALL

Great riches are not to be desired most. Wealth alone cannot make one happy.
 It is how one uses the wealth that he possesses that tells.
 Many a man with very moderate competence is happier than the man owning millions. The possession of wealth carries with it responsibility in the use of it. In the eagerness to secure great wealth the brain is often racked to find ways of how to take advantage of the necessities of others, how to reap the harvest of another s sowing, how to profit by another's la bor. Conscience becomes deadened, the heart hardened and a selfish way of looking at things habitual.
 The man of wealth is apt to be sus- picious, to fear that professions of friendship arc inspired by wish to gain from him. He feels that he is looked on with envy and covetousness. He fears that some one will get ths better of him il, some way. This man has probably go devoted himself to money getting that he has missed the pleasure of genial companionship. He has not taken time to enjoy life. He has had no leisure for literature, music or art. His walls may be covered with valuable pictures, but he knows their money value only. His library may be filed with beautifully bound books, but with not one of them is he familiar. He does not know how to enjoy them. Greed for gold has eaten the heart out Of all else.

TAFT AND THE pHrLIIp1NEs
The President Tells How He Happened
 To Go

Wm. II. Taft in the National Magazine.
 I was walking up and down the floor of the consultation room in one of the circuit courts of the United States in Cincinnati one day in February, 1900, trying to dictate an opinion--not one of those that got me into troubls after ward-when boy came in and handed me a telegram which read thus: ''If you haven't any other engagement, you would obhge me very much if you would call on me in Washington next week. signed William Mckinley. And he didn't tell me the date. Well, there wasn't any vacancy on the supreme court at that time, and I could not i'm agine what reason there would be for the presidential summons. But went, and when I entered the cabinet room, MT. Mckinley and Secretary Long, of the navy, were there, and I said I had come in answer to his telegram and that I would like to know the occasion for the call. "Well, judge, I'd like to have you go over to the Philippines said the president. "We must establish gov ernmsnt out there, and I'd like to have you help me do it."
 "Mr. President,'' I replied ''I'm sorry we have the Philippines. don { want them. think you ought to have man who Is in sympathy with taking them over.'' To which he answered.:
 "You don't want them any less than do, but we have them, and think in dealing with them that can trust a man who does not want them in the beginning better than can trust a man who does.'
 It is easy to imagine the feelings en- gendered in the mind of the man whose only ambition is to go to Washington was to find cushion on bench, when asked instead to go 10000 miles away from home. Then MT. Root came over and between him and MT. Mckinley had an impression when left that room that if there should be another vote in favor of my going to the Philipines- that vote being cast at home by one who is denied suffrage, but who exercises equal power-I would probably go to the Phillipines with hsr-and did. went there under the influence of Vii liam McKinley's wonderful personality which impslled people to do what he thought they ought to do in the interests of the nation.

DON'T STEAL NICKELs OR MIL
 LIONS

LIONS
 In New York court Magistrate Crane, in discharging boy who had been arrested for taking little coal, told the prisoner his mistake was in stealing in pennies and not in millions.
 Which was tho wrong idea.
 The boys mistake was not in mat ter of pennies or millions, but in steal ing at all.
 We all agree that society is better of if no one steals. Fine in theory. Then in practice we punish the man who steals little, while the theft of large sums goes unpunished.
 There is the fault with the system. The punishment should be graded to the offsnse, and should be as sure in one case as it is in another.
 If this were true, and all forms of theft from petty larceny to wholesale stock jobbing, were swiftly and surely punished, there would be no need for the man whose desperate necessities are measured in pennies to steal to supply them.
 The man who steals simply because he wants to prey on society is entitled to no sympathy, no matter whether he steals nickel or a national bank.

OLD AILMENT RENAMED

Coincidental with the promulgatior and general acceptance of the germ the ory of disease, we think, came the ap- parent inclination in medical circles of late years to attach cnrIous and awe inspiring names to divers and sundry ancient ailments heretofore designated by titles familiar from long usage and frequent repetition.
 For instance, we read with consider erable interest of California man re- sently haled before the courts and charged with non attention to business and general indifference to things go- ing on about him and ''lack of initia- tive in caring for his physical wants and necessities. These allegations were urged as good and sufficient reasons why he should be divested of all control of his ample property-accumulated after years of sound management-and rele- gated to the ranks of the "has .beens, v the while certain impatient heirs at-law assumed charge of the situation and straightened things out to their way of thinking. High-browed experts called to bar, diagnosed this defendants mala- dy as "katatonia a''-and upon the regis tration of this formidable word in the court records, guardian, as prayed for, was appointed, and the "katatoniac" ordered not to mind his own business any more for the present.
 We have no disposition to express g point of view in this matter that may be construed as contempt of court, but in all the circumstances, as wA see them, we should not have been harsh with this man without first inquiring infinitely and precisely just how closely this katatonia" thing resembles plain, old fashioned spring fever, ''that tired feel ing,'' or whatever it Is that comes around so regularly at this season of the year, and seizes upon numerous human beings whether or no, and ere they are aware. The symptoms noted are familiar enough to our eyes. Wa have had them all, many time-es- pecially in early April. General in difference, ''lack of initiative" Ha! It is to laugh. Sassafras tea is the anti germ theory remedy for that depress- ing but never entirely distressing, dis ease, and failing a cure with that, sul- phur and molasses, mayhap! Of course, you cannot exterminate microbes, bac- teria, bacilli, and other micro-organisms of pernicious dispositions with piebian decoctions fashioned from sassafras, or sulphur and molasses,' or slippery elm, or pokeroot, or other druggist herbs and things of decayed renown and all but fickered reputation. No, indeed; these pestiferous little varmints are to be reached through the prowess of rene dies precisely to be described only through the agency of names Latin in character and truly imposing in length. We shudder even to suggest the prob

and it was discovered that the
lumber in the Mill Yards was on
fire. A new and convenient en-
perience for the fire boys was
to have MIR. Evans pull them and
the hose cart down to the fire
with his automobile. 1t wasn't
long until the boys had two
streams of water playing on the
flames but the pressure was light
on account of only a small main
pleading to the lumber yards.
Three big piles of lumber were
destroyed and about 130 feet of
the tramway. The total loss was
about $500 and was insured in
the Home Insurance company of

MILITIA REGIMENT
SHOULD BE COMPLETED

If New Mexico is to keep pace
with the states and territories in
the organization, equipment,
and support of its militia, it be-
hoOves the territorial legislature
to grant a sufficient money APP
preparation to complete the in
fantry regiment. Favorable ac-
ton rendered by the legislature
upon this important matter will
reflect great credit, loyalty and
patriotism upon the members of
that judicious body as well as
the territory at large, and will
also be a strong essential in the
assistance of statehood.
If our sister territory, Arizona
can support and equip a full reg
iment of infantry Guards there
is no reason why New Mexico
with its far greater population
and wealth should not be able
to create a number of militia
companies to complete its reg
iment.
