KEEP The KIDNEYS
WELL
Health Is Worth Saving, and
Some Tacoma People Know
How to Save 1t.

Many Tacoma people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting
the kidneys when they know these
organs need help. Sick kidneys
are responsible for a vast amount
of suffering and Ill health, but
there Is no need to suffer nor to
remain in danger when all dis
eases and aches and pains due to
weak kidneys can be quickly and
permanently cured by the use OF
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here Is a
Tacoma citizens recommendation:
Mrs. George McCaddon, 1903
South X street. Tacoma, WASH,
says: 81 used Doan's Kidney
Pills and value them very highly.
I was troubled a great deal by a
weakness of the kidneys and Sc
we're pains through the small of
my back. was feeling generally
run down when Doan's Kidney
Pills were brought to my atten-
ton. They were so highly recon-
mended that l procured a box at
Malstrom Bros. drug store. Al
short use disposed of the pains
in my back and improved my con-
dition in every way. Whenever I
hear anyone complaining of kid
ney trouble, always advise the
use of Doan's Kidney Pills, as I
am confident this remedy will al
ways bring the desired relief"

POINTS OUT TRUE
DESTINY Of
WOMAN

woman, politics is not your
sphere; your sphere is the home"
said DR.. M. A. Matthews of Seat
tie at the First Methodist church
here last night in a popular lee
ture in the Puget Sound university
course on "The Four-Square
GIRL"
"The fiat and rooming house is
a curse to domestic life," said the
speaker. Girls should be taught
the true destiny of women, which
is to be home builders and moth
ers, he said, and when this is done
and men are ostracised for their
impurity the same as women, he
declared the domestic problem
would be largely solved.

SENATE FACTIONS
AFRAID OF EACH
OTHER

and with the other on the next.
They hold the balance of power
and are aware of the fact. The
only trouble is in sitting out this
balance to a number small enough
to be workable.
The real test of strength will
probably not be known until the
anti-saloon measures come up for
consideration. The race track bill
will go through, but when it comes
to restricting the sale of liquor
there will be some divergence of
opinion that will require the mar
shaling of all possible forces of
the two sides.
Meantime there is some quiet
and earnest work being done by
the leaders of both factions and
every effort is being made to
strengthen their forces.

When 1912 came we celebrated In

What an amazing difference there
is between our home Independence
Day celebrations this year and that
never to be forgotten day 1873 years
ago. Now we are comfortable, at
peace with the world, with no danger
or foreign soldiery driving us from
home and destroying all we have.
Those who, waiting in their homes
July 4, 1776, heard the triumphant
boom Of Independence Bell, knew the
signal of approaching homelessness
and privation for many of them was
sounding. They had comfortable
homes in What many persons were
pleased to call "the struggling colo
nies." just as comfortable to their
occupants as ours are to us. 1t was
harder to make home then than
now, and to be obliged to give one
up was, therefore, the greater sac
rifice.
From the very beginning Of things
In these United States the home has
been the bulwark of the Nation. 9th
er things have been called by that
name, but the home is really the bull
wark that has kept overwhelming
waves of disaster from coming
aboard the good Ship of State. His
torians only tell of formal actions and
incidents, and other matters connect
ing them. If, however, we lift the
curtain and look at the many facts
all unwfttingly hidden, then we be-
gin to appreciate the American home. |

Great changes have taken place.

may be largely attributed to altered
methods Of living. While from the
nrst settlement up to 1900 there was
considerable difference. it is since
1900 that the homes nave changed
most.
At that time there were no large
cities. Philadelphia had a popula-
ton of $4,000. Next came New York
with $4,000. Then Boston with Ia
600, and Baltimore with $4,000. The
places named had not lost rural
appearance. In Boston. for example.
the streets were unpaved, and the
SIDEWALKS unf1agged.. The better
houses were usually built of brick
with little flower gardens in front
or lawns dotted with shrubbery. Fur.
nlture, silver and china were mostly
imported from England, although we
bore small love for the mother conn
try.
There was no heating by furnaces
or steam pipes, but there were large
nreplaces with brass andirons holding
stout logs of wood. A tall clock us-
ually stood in the corner, and fairly
good pictures, including portraits by
Copley and historic scenes by Trum- |

while De Musset and Edgar Allan

to Baudelaire what opium was to the

early days Goethe found that indul-

when Schiller drank more than usual
the literary results were deplorable.
The faults with which Schiller had
been reproached by his critics, Goe-
