her. he told the friends with whom
she lived that her death would proba-

she seemed to have become uncon-

On his arrival he found that his pa

lily Mixed and Harmless.

The following prescription for the
cure of rheumatism and kidney and

filled millions of times, viz: Fluid EX-
pound Kargon, one ounce; Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. These
simple. harmless ingredients can be
obtained at any good prescription
pharmacy at little cost and are mixed
by shaking well in a bottle.
The dose for adults is a teaspoon
full after each meal and at bedtime,
drinking a full tumblerful of water
after each dose. 1t is stated that this
prescription is a positive remedy for
kidney trouble and lame back, weak
bladder and urinary difficulties. espe-
cially of the elderly people, and one
OF the best things to be used in rheu-
matte Affections. relieving the aches
and pains and reducing swellings.
A well-known authority states that
this mixture acts directly upon the
eliminative tissues of the kidneys:
cleanses these spOngelike organs and
gives them power to sift and strain the
poisonous waste matter and uric acid
from the blood which is the cause of
rheumatism.
If your back or sides ache and you
suspect kidney trouble it would be wise
to try this for a few days.

PHILIPPINES SUGAR.

There is one feature of the tariff
valley are interested. the probable ac-
ton that will be taken with respect
to sugar. 1t is not at all likely that
it will figure in the revision proper
but an attempt will be made to in
sert a provision providing for the free
admission of a limited quantity from
the Philippines, as was proposed in
the Philippines tariff bill which failed
three years ago.
It cannot Of course be said that
the business of the great sugar re-
fineries constituting the so-called
sugar trust is an infant industry any
longer, but in a large sense. one fea-
ture of sugar making is in its in
fancy. the country's agricultural rela-
ton to the business.
The growth of the area OF sugar
beet raising is by no means complete.
Wherever it has been established it
has increased the value of land and
furnished employment to thousands
and built up communities.
While, perhaps, the admission Of
such a volume of sugar from the
Philippines as has been proposed
would not be destructive OF the in
dustry, it would be just that much
of a handicap and communities which
are in the initial stages of sugar beet
growing ought not to be subjected TO
any handicap.

who should be given the benefit Of

hood from the soil II has been the
policy of the government always TO
protect farmers from not only actual
but possible competition.
II is also a fact that the only ar

will relieve the FflipinOs, for whom
