IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles.
ASdlISbury Citizen Shows How to Cure Them

Many people never suspect their kid
neys. If suffering from a lame. weak

correct itself. An so it is with all the
other symptoms of kidney disorders .
There is just where the danger lies.
You must cure these troubles or they
may lead to diabetes or Bright's dis
ease. The best remedy to use is
Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t cures all ills
which + caused py weak or diseased
kidneys. Salisbury people testify to
permanent cures.

The Eclipse of the Moon Monday Night.
Numbers of Salisbury peor

Numbers of Salisbury people
stayed up to see the total eclipse
of the moon On Monday night and
they we're all amply paid for the
sleep lost and the time spent
waiting for it. 1t was a beautiful
night and not a cloud came to
interfere with the view of the
passing of the shadow of the earth
over the face of the moon The
eclipse began at about the expect
ed time, 10:46, proceeded slowly
until about 1915 when the face
of the moon was fully covered and
only a faint outline of it showed.
Many thought that the darkness
of the eclipse would make the
comet show up to better advan.
tage and a careful watch was kept
on It, but while it was still show
ing N the western sky it was nc
larger and did not show to any
better advantage than before.

Condition of the Fruit and Crops.

A large number of farmers
were in town on Saturday
and all report that the crops
generally are doing fine.
Some cotton and corn that
was planted early suffered to
some extent by the cold
weather which prevailed dur~
ing the past month, but it is
thought that the warm, gentle
rains with which we have
been blessed lately, will bring
it out. Wheat is eported
doing nicely in most every
section and, while there is
not an over abundance Of
straw, it is heading up we'll
and there is prospects of a
good yield. Although the
cold has caused a lot of the
fruit to drop off the trees
they are still we'll filled. Ap~
pies it is said, will be short in
most places, We note that
more Irish potatoes are plant
ed than has been customary.
The writer has been around
over the country some and
finds that almost everybody
has a good patch planted. If
properly handled this is a
very profitable crop, and they
can be raised here as che apply
as elsewhere.

CITY FATHERS HAVE SUCCESSFUL YEAR,
City Taxes Reduced. Regulations in Re-
gard TO Near Beer Saloons and Clubs

The city alderman held a very
important meeting at the City
Hall on Thursday night.
The revenue schedule was taken
up and Stable Linn presented a
summary of the financial condi.
tion of the city as regarding the
tax levy and expenditures of the
board during the year just closed.
The amount of taxes levied for
the year Was in round numbers
IS, 10000, The expenditures we're
$40, 1877. IA, nearly $4,000 less than
the levy. The board has lived
within its income during the year
and had paid many Of the bills of
the former administration.
The ad valorem tax as in effect
last year was reduced 10 cents
and stands now so cents, spe.
cial, and 65 cents regular making
81 Is this year instead of 81 rs as
last year. So that when the
county commissioners, (The city
aldermen having nothing to do
with the matter) place the school
tax at 20 cents on property there
will only be an increase of only
10 cents on the hundred dollars
worth of property. The assessed
valuation of property in Salisbury
is So, 755, 303, and it was decided
that the decrease of 10 cents on
the tax levy could we'll be made.
This, owing to the recent special
school tax election, will make a
net increase of only 10 cents on
the hundred.
The finance committee which
has charge of the revenue schedule
reported. The old schedule was
closely followed with the recon-
mendation of a number of
changes
A special ordinance regarding
the sale of near beer was put On
it's first reading. This ordinance
provides that the places whore
the beer is sold must be on a pub
lie street. That there shall be
no screens, painted glass, or
anything to obstruct the view,
there shall be no rear or side
doors.
Al ordinance to license social
clubs and place an annual tax on
9aoh locker in each club passed
first reading. This ordinance pro-
vides that clubs shall pay and an
nual tax of $50 and that each
locker shall be taxed 50 yearly.
No club to be licensed with less
than SO bona fde members. 1t re-
stricts the number SO tnat only
one may use tie same locker. 1t
shall be the duty of the secretary
Of the ;lub to furnish the captain
of police once a month a list of
the members. After it's reading
it was returned to J. S. McCub-
bins, chairman of the finance
committee, for any further cor.
rection or recommendation to be
presented at the next meeting for
final reading.
An important ruling in regard
to fees was unanimously passed
Fees for arrests and all witness
fees will hereafter go to the city
instead of to the officers. This
was introduced by F. M. Thomp-
son, who argued that the officers
were paid a salary and that the
fees should 60 to the city.

IMPORTANT RULING BY
pTJRl: rOnn rnMM1SSdO

AS predicted by the Silver State, the
ruling of the pure food commission
that sherry, port and other brands or
American wines, especially those made
in California, must be called sherry
type etc., has been overruled by
the secretary of agriculture. Had the
ruling remained in force it would have
resulted in the degradation of all
American wines. made from the same
grape and by the same process as those
in Europe. No doubt many unscroupu-
lous makers and dealers have been
emitting the word California, designat-
ing the place of origin to deceive ig-
norant public, who imagine that any
thing imported is better than the
American article, but the wine men of
the state were satisfied with the Sill
yer States compromise suggestion
to prefix all James with the word Cali
%fornia, and the agricultural depart
ment has granted that permission. No
consumer can be deceived by such a
brand. IT is only with a very few
years that California has won a name
for high grade wines; that one could
buy a gallon of California wine in the
east as such. Dealers preferred to
mask it under the name and label of
cents per gallon more for it.
That time is passed, but there is yet
a point to be decided that may make
trouble. Some American wines are
heavy in body and richer in alcohol
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1910-04-23

than the European wines. These heavy
wines are largely imported into Europe,
where they are blended with the light
wines and shipped back here as genu-
inc European products. 1t is even
claimed that some makers and dealers
in America have warehouses in
Europe for this purpose and that some
of the American wines are not oven
mixed with others, but sent back in
the original packages or bottled there
and labeled accordingly and sent out as
port. bordeaux, sherry, etc.

If you cannot on the ocean
Sail among the swiftest fleet,
Rocking on the highest billow,
Laughing at the storms you
meet;
You can stand among the sailors,
Anchored yet within the bay,
You can lend hand to help them
AS they launch their boats
away.
If you are too weak to journey
Up the mountains steep and
high,
You can stand within the valley
While the multitude 60 by;
You can chant happy measure
AS they slowly pass along;
Though they may forget the
singer
They may not forget the song.
If you cannot in the conflict
Prove yourself soldier true,
If where smoke and fire are
thickest
There's no work for you to do;
When the battlefield is silent
You can go with careful tread,
You can bear away the wounded,
You can cover up the dead.
If you cannot in the harvest
Garner up the richest sheaves,
Many grain both ripe and
golden
May the careless reapers leave;

If you want field of labor,
You can find it anywhere.
