Neglect the trouble, and dizziness. nervousness. rheumatic pain, swollen ankles and limbs, dimming of the eyesight, sediment in the urine, or fluttering of the heart will mark the near approach of dropsy, gravel, stone in the kidney, diabetes or Bright's disease.
 Only in one way can kidney disor- ders be checked and cured-by prompt treatment of the kidneys themselves with a special kidney remedy. Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only. They cure sick kidneys, clear and regulate the urine, relieve strain upon the heart and nerves, and cure back ache. rheumatic pain and dizziness. They are recommended at home by people you know

Vegetable Compound has done for me during this trying period. Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffer- ing women am willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter. ."-MRs. CHAs. BARCLAY, RED, ,Graniteville, Vt.
 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med icine we know of has such a record of cures of female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. For more than 30 years 1t has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, alteration. local weak nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostratiOn, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. 1t costs but little to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and, as Mrs. Barclaysays it is worth moun- tains of gold ," to suffering women.

It is admitted that Bright's Disease of the kidneys causes more deaths in the United States than in any oth- CT country; that more than half the sickness in America is due to weak or diseased kidneys.
 We are a weak -kidneyed people, and the reason is plain. Ambitious to enjoy more than a mere living. to have all the pleasures that our neigh bors have, anxious for wealth and success; we overwork, rest little, eat and drink unwisely. and are ''on the go" all the time.
 This strenuous life of today tells on the kidneys. The human body was planned for a simpler life. There is just so much work that each organ can do. The kidneys filter our blood day and night, receiving it in a ceaseless stream, draining off the poisonous impurities. This duty is heavy enough in a normal average life, but when we work early and late, give up rest and repose for en- joyment, and retire late to troubled sleep, the work of the kidneys is in creased enormously. Every bit of en- ergy consumed throws into the blood a quantity of waste like the ashes of a fire, and if the using up is too rapid, the kidneys cannot keep pace with it. A cold, chill, fever, strain or any excess may hasten the inevit- able breakdown, and as the circula- tion of the blood never stops, the kidneys have no time to rest, no chance to mend. Sick kidneys can not get well alone.
 The first warnings of kidney weak ness are dull. aching pain in the back. retention, excessive flow, discoloration

SAINT PAUL GETS
 WIRELESS CONNECTION
No Further Fear of Isolation From
 the Outside World.

St. Paul, Minn., April Tiff through any future general storm trouble St. Paul is cut off from wire communication with the outside world, it will be able to flash its messages by wireless through the first station of it's kind in the north west which will be established upon the roof of the new Saint Paul. the s1,000,000 hotel now under construc- tion. Arrangements for the installa- tion of the service, which will be of the most modern and complete type, have just been concluded under the direction of Manager Director John C. Roth of the hotel company. The St. Paul station will be supplemented by a Chicago station upon the roof of the Congress hotel, and under the same control.
 Much interest is manifested in the establishment of the station and it is believed that it will be of great value to the northwest. The oper- ating rooms on the roof of the new hotel will be accessible to guests of the hostelry, who will be able to enjoy the novelty of writing their wireless messages and watching the operations of flashing them through the blue to their destinations in oth- CT cities. The establishment of the station has an additional interest in that it will prevent, for the north west, such d situation as that during the inauguration ceremonies recently in Washington, when wire communi- cation was entirely cut off. Wash ingtOn was able to communicate with the outside world via wireless only

THE CITY REeIsTRATIoN-when

the books were closed on Saturday night at the end of the sixth day of the registration for the charter cleo tion, there were 1,136 names on the list, a record performance SC early in the registration period, since usually the bulk of registration comes in the concluding days. There are. of course many more voters here than there were at the last general regis tration two years ago, but the fact that the registration has been so heavy at the outset is due probably to the fact that many called to register for the franchise election, the registration for which closed on Friday night. Yet. on the following day, nearly eighty names were added to the list

YUMA'S NEW RAILROAD-The lnter-ColOrado and California rail- road, better known as the Calexico cutoff, is about completed, says the Yuma Sun. The grading is all done, the ties are laid and the steel is in place. The first train through from CaleXico to Yuma is scheduled to ar rive in Yuma on Monday. This will be a construction train. The regular train service will be put on about the first of May. Just what the service will be has not been given out, but it is supposed that there will be no regular local daily train put on the run, making the round trip from Yuma into the Imperial valley country each day. It is also understood that at least one of the through trains, probably the Sunset Express. will be routed around that way. From now on, Yuma and the Imperial country are to be close neighbors.
