WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
 Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They work nigt and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when un- healthy some part of this impure mat ter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms pain in the back, headache, nervous ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gouJ, gravel. disorders of the cycSight and hearing, dizziness irregular hcart debility, drowsiucSs, dropsy deposits in the urine, etc. But if You keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys.
 W. A. Hawkins, G69 Yeslcr Way, Seattle, Wash, says: Tt gives me pleasure to confirm the statement l gave for publication some years ago in favor of Doau's Kidney Pills as the relief l obtained from their use has proven permanent l suffered from an acute attack of kidney rOu- tIc and though I used remedy after remedy. l was unable to find belief. had the most severe pains across the small of my back and was also annoyed by irregular passages of the kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney Fills helped me at once and continue use entirely relieved me. l am a great advocate of Dom's Kidney Pills and have recommended them on many occasions"

SECRETARY ROOT TELLS STORY.
Retiring Official illustrates Difficulties
of His Position.

There are days when the secretary
Of state finds his friends smuggling up
with a view Of taking care of other
friends who are holding down berths
in the foreign service. The diplomat.
ic and consular services are in a
way under the aegis Of the civil serv.
ice, that Is, a mans record on other
missions helps him more than the help
Of powerful friends. But a word from
the retiring secretary Of state about
the efficiency of a certain diplomat or
consul will go a long way toward
smoothing his way through the Knox
administration.
Mr.. Root is not an approachable or
genial man, but he has his moments
of relaxation. He is president Of the
Metropolitan club, and during the
Christmas ces he made several
visits to greet his old friends before his
official status changed. He listened at
tentiyely to some chums who talked
up this ambassador and put in a
word for a friend in the consular serv-
ice. Then he said: Il will try to re-
member all this, and / will do the best
| can. Which reminds me of a tale
which the late Lord Pauncefote told
with great gusto. Lord Pauncefote, as
all who were privileged to know him
will recall, suffered greatly from rheu-
matte govt in his later days, and he
walked stiffiy and sometimes had to
t,oa fuy0 nnnnc IIn ryn-t Dno aff-r
noon to make a call, and he remained
quite q long time, SO long that the
horses got FESTIVE and the groom
walked them up and down the street.
When Lord Pauncefote left the house
the carriage was not in front, and
thinking there was some mistake in
his orders, he started to walk to the
embassy, which was only a square or
two. But he had twinges Of his old
enemy and the pavement was icy. He
was a large, heavily built man, and
he feared a fall. While he was pom
dering yer his dilemma, along came
a young man In working clothes, and
the British ambassador, after a cour-
teous s~alutation, asked: My friend,
will you walk beside me and help me
home? 1t is just a short ways, but |
am afraid of falling. l shall greatly
appreciate it. The young man
looked him over and said, thickly:
Old gent, l am pretty full myself,
but I'll do the best l can, the
very best 1 can That's my di-
lemma," ended Mr.. Root. Il am
pretty full of promises already on file,
but I'll do the very best | can

Wiley Runs Into Bad Chicken.

WOULD KEEP SENIOR QUEsADA.
Cuban Minister Popular with the Az
thorities at Washington.

While there can be no expression on
the part of any official of this govern.
nent, there is a ve-y strong feeling in
al circles in Washington that the re-
ported intention of the new Cuban
government forming to transfer Mr..
Gonzalo de Quesada, the Cuban min
!ster, to France and Spain, and substi-
tute some one else for him, will not be
carried out. 1t is no eXaggeration to
say that members of the American
congress, including some of the most
prominent leaders, say that instead Of
Mr.. Quesada's usefulness here being
at an end, it is at it's height. He has
been in Washington many years, hav-
ing in the first place been a member
Of the famous Cuban junta which did
so much for the independence of Cuba
under the most trying circumstances,
and at a time when the influence Of
the Spanish legation here was para
mount in the counsels Of the senate.
He has served his country as min
lister from the formation of the first
government Of the Republic OF Cuba,
and he has done so with much ac-
ceptability. He has been very close
in his relations to President Roosevelt,
and will be in a similar position with
reference to the Taft administration,
should he remain.
Senator AIdrich, recently at the
White House offices, meeting Mr.. Que
sada, expressed the hope that he
would not be succeeded by another,
adding: you can get anything for
your government you ask for from
the congress Of the United States"
