MRS. 5ELMONTS MORAL SUP.
PORT AND FINANCIAL AID.

Mrs. o. II. p Belmont has. Of
course, attracted national attention ON
account Of the y,ry energetic and
practical campaign which she recently
l%naugurated for the yoman's suffrage
movement. The part she took in the
shirtWaist strike marked her entrance
into the field Of practical economies
1t shows that possibly she realizes
now very close 10 the relation of the
industrial and political conditions. Ger
tain it is that she found instant re-
Spouse and appreciation from these
girls who We're on strike.
She collected many thousands of dol
lars to relieve the needy, arranged big
mass meetings, and interested ner
friends in the cause of the girl strik-
ers.
1t would not be fair to say that
Mrs. Belmont took part in the shirt
waist strike merely because she want
ed to advance the suffrage movement.
/ have sat with her day after day
on committees, and have been on the
same platform with her at at public
meetings, and in not one instance did
| hear her try in any way TO make
capital for the suffrage movement. She
seemed to be genuinely interested in
the welfare Of the gills and anxious to
help them Mrs. Belmont has a pleas
ing personality. She is not more than
five feet four inches in height, and Of
rather plump, well rounded figure.
One could hardly imagine that she
is a grandmother, but everyone knows
her two little ~grandsons, children of
the Duchess Of Marlborough. Mrs.
Belmont does not look a day over
thirty-fve. She has a clear, fresh
complexion with good color, and there
is not a thread of gray in her album
dant auburn hair. She wears heavy
mourning, and, although her dress is
always Of the richest texture, ii is

SIGNALS OF DISTRESS.
B%rockings People Should Know How
to Read and Heed Them.

Sick kidneys give many signals of
distress.
The secretions are dark, contain a
sediment.
Passages are frequent, scanty, pain
full.
Backache is constant day and night.
Headaches and dizzy spells are fire.
quent
The weakened kidneys need quick
help.
Don't delay! Use a special kidney
remedy.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kid
neys, backache and urinary disorders.
Brookings evidence proves this state
ment.
Luther J.. Tisdale, w. Main St,
Brookings, s. Oak. says: Il suffered
from kidney trouble for ten years.
My back was very lame and there was
a constant ache across my kidneys.
The kidney secretions were irregular
in passage and unnatural and led me
to believe that the kidneys were dis
ordered. I at last procured a box of
Doan's Kidney Pills at Villas Drug
Store and as | obtained relief from
the first, | continued their use until
| was completely cured. I feel that

Fireworks Instead Of Lanterns Is the
Recommendation Of Railroad
Critic

Says correspondent Of recent
gathering of railroad men called for
the purpose Of devising safeguards
against accidents on the line:
Instead of the skyrocket proposed for
use at night, advised them to pro-
vide their trainmen with Roman can
dies that could be ignited by blow
or by pulling off cap. etc. The Are
balls discharged from the candle
would give warning along railroad
up and down the track. Every one OF
train crew could use the candle, so
that train would not depend for pro-
lection on the vigilance, faithfulness.
activity or good luck of the one man
now usually sent back to flag or sig
nal an expected train.
The ordinary lantern employed for
the purpose is a pit1ful contrivance to
depend on for the safety of railroad
train and it's passengers at time
when fractions of a second may be
all that intervenes between fatal col
lision and safety. The candle would
not be subject to all the weather In
fuences-wind, rain, snow, etc.-or
the lantern man is subject before he
gets back far enough to stop an on
coming train. 1t would act instantly
and could be used on a moving train
as we'll as on the ground. Its success
sive flashes, even on curve or be-
hind trees, etc. are so much more
conspicuous than the feeble light of
a lantern or tower light that it would
be ridiculous to institute comparison
between them. Every locomotive and
passenger car should have a few of
on board for use in an emergency.
They should prove more efficient than
the track torpedo, and are so cheap as
to deserve ne consideration on that
score.
The advantages of the Roman can
die for use on railroads have been
called to the attention Of the present
public service commission who gave
scant attention to the proposal Since
I first tried to have the plan taken
up there have been countless mum
Der of collisions which would in all
probability have been prevented by
the use of the pyrotechnic signal. In
one such collision the wife of the pres.
ident of the Pere Marquette railroad
lost her life; President Spencer was
killed In another crash, and Spencer
Trask was the last prominent person
to suffer. Evidently the proposal
made in the early days of railroading
to insure safety by compelling di
rector of the road to ride on the loco
motive would not answer for this age
