NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE
Point Pleasant People Should
Learn to Detect the Approach
of Kidney Disease.

The symptoms Of kidney trouble
are 50 unmistakable that they leave
no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys
excrete thick, cloudy, offensive
urine, full of sediment, irregular of
passage or attended by sensation of
scalding. The back aches constant
ly, headaches and dizzy spells may
occur and the victim is often weighed
down by feeling of languor and
fatigue. Neglect these warnings and
there Is danger of dropsy, Bright's
disease, or diabetes. Any one of
these symptoms IS warning enough
to begin treating the kidneys ut once.
Delay often proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Point

practically laid up with kidney trou-
bic. The pain across the small of
my back was so severe that l could
not get up or down and l also had
trouble with the kidney secretions,
the passages being distressing. | al

GROWING OLD.
necessary.

It is the solemn thought connected
with middle life that life's last
business is begun in earnest; and it is
then midday between the cradle and
the grave, that a man begins to
marvel that he lets the dav of youth
go by SO half enjoyed. 1t is the
penciye autumn feeling; it is the SEN
sation of half sadness that We expert
ence when the longest days of the
year IS past, and every day that
follows is shorter and the light faint
er, and the feebler shadow tell that
Nature is fastening with gignatic
footsteps to her winter grave. SO
does man look back upon his youth.
When first gray hair becomes visible,
when the unwelcome truth fastens
itself upon the mind that a nan is
no longer going up hill, but down
and that the sun is always westering
he looks back on things behind.
When we were children, We thought
as children. But now there lies be-
fore US manhood, with its earnest
work and then old age, and the grave,
and then home. There is a second
youth for man, better and holier
than his first, if he will look on, and
not look back.

HIS JUDCESHIP.

Judge George Grey of Delaware,
at the recent dinner Of the farmers
Club At Senator camcron'< farm near
lancaster, Pa. talked Of the former
American fondness for titles.
Il Is a fondness that has now al
most disappeared, : said Judge Grey.
: We have become more cultivated
people and We have learned to value
titles at their real worth.
But in the past it was different.
Take my own title, for instance. /
was travelling IN the country in my
youth, and one day At hotel table
there sat besides me man whom
everybody addressed as judge.
When the Judge got up and went

EXPERT REPORTS
ON COTTON TRADE
w. A. C. Clark Presents interest
ing Facts on South Ameri-
can Conditions
VISITS IN MANY COUNTRIES
Says United Kingdom Leads Us in
Knit Goods Furnished to
Our Neighbors
VISITS IN MANY COUNTRIES

Although the United States grows
two-thirds of tho cotton consumed in
the world, yet it supplies to foreign ma
tions only a fraction of the manu-
featured cotton goods they consume
This is equally true Of nations on this
continent, where, by reason of proxim-
ity and other advantages, the United
States should naturally control the
trade.
To investigate this peculiar situation
and find out what can be done to en-
large the share of the United States
in the trade Of American nations to
the south of this country, the bureau
of manufactures sent w. A. Graham
Clark, an experienced cotton manufac-
turer, to Cuba, Mexico and the Cen
trail and South American nations. Two
volumes Of his reports have just been
printed and present many interesting
facts.
Cuba gives the United States a &c
per cent preference on cotton goods
and 40 per cent on knit goods, and yet
this country supplies only 10 per cent
of Cuba's imports Of such goods, the
United Kingdom furnishing so per
cent. Mr.. Clark says that the United
States might have a larger proportion
of the trade IL the exporters would
make a closer study of the details
which attract Cubans.
Mexico manufactures considerable OF
the cotton goods consumed in that
country, but the mills do not keep UP
with the growing demand. The United
Kingdom again leads in the import
trade, the United States coming Sec
ond and Germany third. And yet
Mexico is connected with the United
States by both rail- and water routes,
and this country Is her best GUS
toner.
Central America buys all the cotton
goods consumed, the United Kingdom
furnishing one-half Of the supply and
the United States, Germany and other
countries the remainder.
The United States predominates in
the total trade of all of those coun-
tries excepting Guatemala, but leads
in supplying cotton goods only in Hon.
duras. The United States supplies 63
per cent of Mexico's imports, At per
cent of Cuba's and AZ per cent of those
Of Central America, but In cotton goods

don, Marian Nicholson, Gwendo1yn
Overton, Adeline Knapp, w. c.
Morrow. Herman Witaker and
two score of others who might be
named, are not merely western
writer's, but writer's OF California
Poems, stories and novels.
Here are three things that diEting-
uish California literature; either
its author is a California, he writes
about California, or his work pos
sesses the California spirit. The
last element l deem by far the
most important. Let us examine
both the country and the litera-
ture 1t produces and find what this
spirit is and from whence it comes.
LAND OF DESTINY
California is pre-emineutly a land
of destiny. Palestine, Egypt,
Greece, Rome, in all their history,
never thrilled the heart Of man as
has California. During all the CEN
turtles since the dawn Of history
Gods hand has clearly been point
ing to this civilization now rising
so proudly by the sundawn sea.
Berkeley said more than he
dreamed when he exclaimed,
westward the course of empire
taxes us way. GEORGE Bancroft,
our great national historian, took
the words and used them as the
keynote of his history of the Unit
ed States, claiming the Britishers
words as a prophecy for the SUI
premacy of this country over
Great Britain. Charles Kingsley
wrote westward Ho!" and both
he and Berkeley deemed they
knew what their words meant. Yet
it is safe to say that neither of
them fully grasped the real signih-
canoe Of these salutations to the
west.
Civilization has ever moved
westward and has thus lnsistently
and perslstently pointed toward
California. If history began, as we
are told, on the banks of the Hin
du Kish, there was built up there

ENGINEER FAVORABLY
IMPRESSED BY HARBOR
New Assistant Chief Engineer
Says San Pedro Has Nat
uraI Advantages

Natural advantages possessed by
Los Angeles harbor impress me favor
| ably" said Z. D. Vincent, assistant
chief engineer of the bureau of harbor
improvements, yesterday. Mr.. Vincent
was appointed recently and will work
under the direction Of City Engineer
Hamlin. For eleven years he was in
the United States army.
II have not been here long enough to
| look into harbor problems carefully"
Mr.. Vincent continued. Lots of work,
entailing the expenditure of large sums
Of money, doubtless will be necessary
before the harbor is brought to COM
pletion. 1 have not had a chance to in
spect the work completed so far, and
cannot form an estimate of how long 1t
will take to complete the projected I'M
provements."
Mr.. Vincent was assistant engineer
with the corps Of engineers, U. S. A,
from 1893 to 1898, in charge of river
Improvement work at various points
along the Missouri river. During the
war with Spain he was q volunteer
officer in the second regiment of en-
gineers stationed at Havana. Cuba.
This was one of the first regiments to
occupy that city. With the close OF
that campaign he re-entered the serv-
ice of the war department as assistant
engineer and was given charge of the
Missouri river improvement work from
Sioux City, Ia, to the Greet Falls in
Montana.
Later he was transferred to lock and
dam construction work in Kentucky.
From there he went to the yellowstone
park in charge of military roads and
bridges, under Major (now generaD H.
M. Chittenden.
With the completion of that work he
was transferred to the reclamation
service as engineer and given charge of
the construction of the Laguna dam,
which was three and half years in
building.
With the completion of this last work
he was transferred to Ell Paso, Texas,
to take charge of the construction of
the Elephant Butte dam, which is to
be the largest by far Of any to be built
by the reclamation service. 1t is esti-
mated it will cost S6,00O,O00. He was
engaged on plans for the work when he
resigned to enter the service Of Los
Angeles.

Brazil Is the second largest importer
of cotton goods in South America.
The United States buys more Of Bra
zll's products than any other nation,
but supplies her with only 2.S5 per cent
of her imports of cotton goods, the
quantity having declined considerably
in recent years. The United States sup
