NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Rock Island People Should Learn to
Detect the Approach of Kidney
Disease.


The symptoms of kidney trouble are
so unmistakable that they leave no
ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex-
crete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine,
full of sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by a sensation of scald-
ing. The back aches constantly,
headaches and dizzy spells may oc-
cur and the victim is often weighed
down and 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
at once. Delay often proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Rock
Island proof:

in the cases involving the rates for
Pullman sleeping car accommoda-
tions from st. Paul to Chicago, Su-
perior, Wis; Seattle. Wash; Fargo,
n. D., and Grand Forks, n. d.
The report is very brief, contain
ing little more than statement of
the issues presented, an outline of
the operations of the principal de-
PENDANTS and the new rates. The
most noteworthy point in the de-
cision is the holding that charges
for upper berths should be substan-
TALLY less than the charges for low
er berths This differential is i'm
posed in all the cases brought before
the commission.
Rate for short Journey.
The commission also reached the
conclusion that Pullman rates from
ST. Paul to the Pacific coast are too
high, the present rate of Sl2 for a
lower berth being reduced to $40
and the present rate of S12 for an
upper berth being reduced to $3.50.
For a short nights journey in a
lower berth the commission holds
that the reasonable rate should not
exceed $3.50, while for a correspond
ing journey in an upper berth the
reasonable rate should not exceed
$1.10.
While this ruling of the commits
sion orders reductions in rates which
were specifically and formally COM
planned of, 1t is recognized as the open
ing wedge for a readjustment of
sleeping car rates wherever they ex-
coed the average which the commits
sion has found to be just and reason
able in these instances. The Pullman

decision to the courts.

tabulating machines, II will probably
be months before even the population
Is known. Close estimates are that
the total population of the United
States, including Alaska, Porto Rico
and Hawaii. but excluding the Philip
pines, will be In the neighborhood or
100000. It may vary one or two
millions either way, but is not liable
to fall short Of that figure. The popu-
lation in 1900 was T6,903, 3S7. which
was an increase Of % per cent over
1890. A like increase would swell the
total to 90, Ooo, 132 this year. But Porto
Rico was not included ten years ago,
and 1t contains at least 100000,
which would swell the figures to o.
100000. The tide of immigration has
been flowing into the United States
more rapidly in the last decade than
it did in the decade previous. so that
100000 should be under rather than
over the true figure. The Philippines
would swell this to the 100000
mark.
Twelve Earlier Censuses.
This will be the thirteenth census.
The figures for the twelve earlier ones
are as follows: In 1890 the total popu-
lation of the United States was 3,929,-
pa, in 1900 it was 5,3OS, 4S9. in 1910 it
was 1926, SS1, in 1920 It was 9,63S, 453,

it was 3S,55S,371, in 1880 it was so, 1885,
7SS, in 1890 it was 81. sc. $50. in 1900
it was 76,3o3, 1897. The census of 1900
included Alaska and Hawaii, but not
the Philippines and Porto Rico. In
1903 the Philippines had 1855, 426 and
Porto Rico 953, 243.
The fear of the cities that the off,
cial enumerators may not count all
the inhabitants is exemplified by Seat
tie, which has organized a volunteer
band of 200 men to follow Uncle Sans
agents and see that every straggler is
enumerated Ten years ago there
were kicks from Chicago, Omaha and
other ambitious municipalities which
thought their ratings too low.
1t IS certain that New York will still
hold her primacy among American
cities and will be well over the 1000
600 mark. Chicago will, of course, be
second, with between 100000 and
100000. Philadelphia will hold third
place, with considerably more than
1000, 600. ST. Louis and Boston should
be well up toward LOCO, 600 each, with
Baltimore not far behind. Pittsburg
will take long step ahead, as she has
been consolidated with Allegheny and
other outlying boroughS since the last
census.

Child Labor Statistics.


everybody. The census board holds
that the occupation followed by a child
or a woman is just as important for
census purposes as the occupation of
a man. Therefore the enumerators are
told never to take it for granted with
out inquiry that a woman or child old
enough to work has no gainful occu-
patton.
1t is pointed out, however, that only
gainful occupa tons are to be report
ed. BY this is meant any employment,
work, profession or vocation by which
the person working regularly earns
money or its equivalent. The fact that
a person has no gainful occupation Is
to be noted on the schedule. If per
son Is only temporarily unemployed on
account of lack of work or sickness or
other temporary reason the occupation
which that person usually follows is to
be reported.
II a person has two occupations the
enumerator must return only the more
important one-that is, the one from
which the person gets the more money.
If that cannot be learned, then he is to
return the one at which the person
spends the more time.
In the case of a woman doing house
work In her own home without salary
or wages and having no other employ
meht the entry is to be that she has
no occupation. But woman working
at homework for wages win be re-
turned as housekeeper, servant, cook
or chambermaid, as the case may be.
Or If q woman, in addition to doing
homework in her own home. regularly
earns money by some other occupa-
ton, whether pursued in her own home
or outside, that occupation will be re-
turned.
A woman working regularly at out
door farm work, even though she
works on the home farm for her hus-
band, son or other relative and does
not receive money wages, will be re-
turned as a farm laborer. But a wo-
man who herself operates or runs
farm Will be reported as a farmer
and not as a farm laborer.
II any child. Of whatever age, is reg
ulariy earning money. the employment
which he or she follows will be re-
turned as an occpat1on. This applies
also to a child working for board
away from home. II any person Is
attending school or college and at the
same time is regularly earning money
at some gainful occupation the emu
merators are to return that occupation.
