There Is no more serious danger to
health than the presence Of too much
uric acid in the body. 1t Is the duty OF
the kidneys to rid the system of uric
poisons as fast as they accumulate.
When the kidneys fail to do this work
thoroughly, uric acid attacks begin,
first in one part, then IN another.
The cause of these attacks Is so like
~ to be mistaken, even by doctor,
that it is we'll to post yourself on the
subject. If uric acid troubles are
recognized in the beginning. it Is easy
to cure the weakened kidneys with
Doans Kidney Pills, and when the
kidneys are working fright again, the
uric acid will be driven off as fast as
it gathers in the urine.
1t is dangerous to neglect sick kid
neys. 1t leaves the uric acid free to
attack and damage every organ Of the
body. The blood gets SO thick with
waste matter that 1t moves slowly, the
heart beats queerly, the veins and ar
teries harden: uric acid crystals are
deposited in muscles and joints. and
are likely to form into sediment,
gravel and stones in the kidneys and
bladder; dropsy swellings appear and

A TWO YEARS COURSE.

The Chicago school board has taken
steps to check the assertions from the
high school before the completion Of
the four years course. It has deter
mined that less than l per cent of Chi
cago's school children graduate from
The high schools, chiefly because Of
financial inability to complete the
course. Beginning next September a
two years course will be offered in all
the high schools in the belief that this
will serve to check the alarming ten
aency Of school children to leave
school upon graduating from the ele-
mentary schools, or eighth grade. Mrs.
ella Flagg Young, superintendent Of
the Chicago schools, has sent out no.
lice to all principals and to pupils
graduating from the elementary
schools, announcing the innovation.
This notice, which gives good idea Of
The completeness of the two years
course planned, is as follows:
The principal is requested to an
uounce to each member of the gradu-
ating class that new arrangement Of
courses for the first two years in high
school will be ready at the opening Of
school in September The plan Is to
have two years work so arranged
that the pupil who expects to be in

In both branches Of congress, who felt
1t their duty to break with their party
and vote against the Payne-Aldrich
bill on It's final passage. think the
reasons advanced are good and not
easily controverted. Mr.. Dolliver be-
lieves, as do many Of his constituents,
that the time has passed when the
representatives of special and favored
interests should be permitted to write
the schedules Of a tariff bill in which
they are interested, and that the con-
sumers should also have hearing.
The PROMISE made In the last national
Republican platform regarding revi-
sion of the tariff, was that rates of
duty levied on imports should only
equal the difference Of cost Of prCluc-
ton here and abroad, with a reason.
able profit. This pledge, the senator
believes was violated in the enactment
Of the last tariff act, therefore he feels
justified in the stand he and a large
number of Republican senator's and
representatives took at that time and
that the efforts made to read him out
of the party will avail nothing. In his
stand I believe he voiced the majority
of the Republicans of this state. also
firmly believe the time is not far dis
tant when the voters of this common
wealth will show their appreciation
OF both of our senators for the efforts
exerted by them in the present con-
gress not only to secure good, whole

MASTERING THE AIR.

Glenn II. Curtiss, the inventor and
aviator, declares that man will master
the air as completely AS he has master
err the land and water, and Mr.. Curtlss
has already contributed so much to
1ulfll this prediction that we should
not be too hasty in taking issue with
him. Mr.. Curtiss is quoted in Chi
caeo interview with making this pre-
diction: ;,
..Flying machines will be improved
and will be made economically useful
in the future, so that they can be en-
nloyed for passenger and freight
frafic. much as railroads are used now.
Just recall the beginning of the rail-
road and how utterly insignificant 1t
was when the first locomotive, with
It's funny coaches, hobbled along the
Insecure and imperfect tracks. we
cannot do it all in a day, you know,
but it will be done in time. We Will
develop slowly; we will gradually add
to the power, the scope, the size, the
activity and The safety Of the flying
machine. Many minds will come to-
gether in the improvement of the ma
chine and the method Of using it. and
In the end man will be as much the
master of the air as he Is now OF the
land and of the water

TAF1,s GOOD RECORD.

President Taft and the Republican
congress have reasons to feel proud
of the record made by the present ad-
ministration The president can point
to the fulfllment of campaign pledges
and congress can point to the record II
has made in placing constructive iegls,
lation on the statute books, IN spite OF
the wranglings that characterized the
first part OF the session. The president
will be gamer in popularity by the
record he has made In Office. He has

campaign pledges redeemed. other &C

end that scientific revision OF scned-
ules may be recommended, the placing
of telegraph, telephone and cable lines
under federal supervision. the creation

ments that will increase their efficiency
while reducing the expense of their
maintenance. A bill providing for the
publicity of campaign funds has passed
both houses and will be added TO tn !.

out, for himself when he was made the
successor of Theodore Roosevelt as
president, but he has made good.

WRITING SHORT STORIES.

Boston Herald: Just year ago y.
Henry did something he was not in the
habit of doing. He gave out story OF
his life, and 1t was the real story ana
not the invented narrative that went
the rounds and was the inspiration OF
persons unknown even to the writer OF
many charming and subtly humorous
stories. The story was typical OF
Henry, and he told it just like he
wrote the short stories that made him
famous.
"A lot Of yarns he said in that in
terview, "have been printed about me
and none Of them is true. 1t has been
said that / was once cattle thlef.
The nearest ever got to that distinc-
ton was going down to a friends
ranch to learn the cattle raising bust
ness. Another story is that I have
been a miner. I never saw mine in
my life.
Then there is the yarn that | was
once tintype artist. So far as this
is concerned, / must admit that once
had taken a tintype, with my arm
draped gracefully over ladys shoul-
der.
Then there is that newspaper in
Pittsburg that printed the story that
when l first began to write blew into
it's Office, looking like tramp, offered
manuscripts for sale and borrowed
dollar before blowing out again. That
story is an embroidered fit. Why, |
was the best dressed man in the office,
unless it was the editor, whose shoes
were little more pointed than mine.
A year after this story was printed
saw it. made special trip over to
Pittsburg and sent in my card to the
editor.
"'Sir, said l, when at last found
myself face to face with this libeler OF
my solvency, I have come to lick
you
"'But wasn't it bully good story?
asked the editor.
81 admitted that it was, and then in
stead Of licking him we went out and
had luncheon together.
mo, sir, all stories to the contrary
notwithstanding, there never was a
time that could not dig down into my
pocket and find coin therein. never
rode a mile unless it was In Pull
man."
Then the writer reverted to the
story of his younger days when he was
on ranch In Texas. He said he

subject of study, together with the al
lied subjects which are necessary. For
example, a thorough two years course
will be given in stenography and type
writing, with such work IN business
arithmetic, English, etc., as IS neces-
cary.
Two years of work in household
arts also will be offered. including
household science, textiles, English,
practical arithmetic, science, and otn-
er subjects which are necessary. stu
dents who wish to take special two
years course in bookkeeping will find
such course arranged for. This
course will include accounting, pen
manship, and business arithmetic, TO-
gether with business English and 9TH
er subjects.
Two years of work in industrial
drawing and two years work IN each
one of these technical subjects-ad
yanced carpentry, pattern making, ana
machine shop work-also will be ar
ranged. These will include shop math-
ematics. mechanical drawing and Eng
fish.
These courses will be arranged SO
that pupils who at the end of the first
two years find that they can continue
for the entire four years course IN the
high school will find an opportunity OF
doing SO without losing time.
This short course should be sue
cess in the smaller cities, as well as
in Chicago, and in st. Louis, where the
plan has been tried and found success
full. The business course and indus
trial training course offered for the
boys seems unusually attractive and
should draw many recruits from the
ranks of the boys who are now leav'
ing school in great number after com
pleting the grades, but VINO might De

3ENAToR DoLLlvER's SPEECH.

Senator Delivers speech on the

the ways and means committee of the
house of representatives when the
Dingley bill was framed and he has
told the writer that he never worked
so hard in his life as he did in the six
weeks he spent in assisting to perfect
that measure in committee.
Mr.. Deliver has given the tariff
question much thought and there is no
senator in congress more competent
to deal with it than he.
He is deeply in earnest in his views
Of tariff reform and railroad control
and I, who am an admirer of MIR. Taft,
can excuse him for his sarcasm at the
expense of thu president, which only
illustrates the senator's idea of Amer
lean independence. S. H. Harper.

his large experience in tariff legisla-
ton peculiarly fitted to intelligently
discuss the tariff question.

in saying the young men will settle
these questions right; they are the

they have beon its defenders in the
