When the kidneys are stok. sharp.
darling pains strike you in tho back,
ioins or sidee-pains that almost take
your breath away, and often make you
cry out In agony. I
It Is almost impossible to mistake
these kidney pains, for they seem to
center about the small of the back
where the kidneys are located.
And still there are many persons
who think backache IL merely mus
cular trouble. something that Is ex-
pected to pass away with little rest
aided by a plaster. or by rubbing with
liniment.
There is no plaster nor Imminent
that will reach the inside cause-sich
kidneys. What is needed Is kidney
medicine-a kidney stimulant, to start
the kidneys working as they should
a healing, soothing tonic, to relieve
and cure congestion and Inflammation
in the kidneys.
Sick kidneys can not get well alone
They need quick help. And II 1t Is not
given, the useful work Of the kidneys
stops. The f1ltering Of the blood is
suspended. Poisons circulate freely
with the blood-attack muscles. brain
nerves and vital organs. The kidneys
swell and throb and that is what
makes those sudden stabs OF pain IN
the back You won't be rid of the
trouble until the kidneys are cured.

SOME SLOGANS.

The growth of the booster" move.
| ment in the last few years has set
many cities racking their brains for
! slogans. In Iowa, Des Moines set
| the pace with "Des Moines Does
Things" Waterloo proclaims to the
world that the "Waterlco Way Wins.
Ottumwa once called itself the
Lowell of the West but the slogan
did not seem to hang on just right.
The Lowell of the east did not seem
to keep itself in print with sufficient
regularity to show the patness of the
slogan. A few years ago there were
"Pittsburgs of the West" and Pitts
burgs of the South" but these were
dropped when the Pittsburg million
aires spectacular conduct began to
draw more attention than the smoky
city's manufacturing wealth.
The slogan habit is growing, says
the Syracuse Post Standard. A
euphonious slogan is supposed to be
as valuable an asset to city as 1t is
to proprietary article advertised in
the street cars, although it is not with
out significance that the three cities
which have gone forward the fastest

came under the rate for such metal
with additional duty; the new rate is
800 ad valorem; If any one has no
ticed drop in the price of these ar
ticles, which would lead him to think
there had been such a reduction as
claimed, of 33 1870, should like to
hear from HIM.
I believe have examined each item
set out by you and I have given the
facts as they exist, as found under the
two tariff laws; some Of the reductions
are as claimed, many not. No doubt
that other items can be named where
in reductions were made, but 1t Is my
belief that as general proposition
the relief sought by reason of a reduc-
ton Of the tariff, has been denied.
believe in the principles Of protection
but that protection must not come as
a burden to the many and means OF
amassing great wealth by the few.

PROTECTION OF THE BIRDS.

This country Is W1deaWake to the
necessity Of the conservation OF
natural resources. During the term
as president of the United States,
Theodore Roosevelt set in motion the
wheels of government necessary to &C.
complish this end and the quickening
process is still going on. The neces'
sity of preserving the timber, water
and land of this country is probably
the first consideration, but conserva-
ton should not stop there. This gov
eminent protects the fur seal In its
natural haunts against the poacher;
within the boundaries of the United
States, the birds, fish and animals
have their protection in the laws,
which are enforced by the game war
dens, and the violators of the law are
severly punished when caught
President Roosevelt saw the neces-
sity of guarding the bird life of this
country, and set aside reservations
in various parts of the country, where
the feathery tribe could congregate
and rear their young unmolested by
the pot hunter and the plumage
hunter.
In spite of all efforts Of the Audubon
societies, and of those who are put
ting forth efforts for the preservation
of birds, over 100000 birds were
slaughtered last year and for mil
linery. Consider what would be the
effect Of the total destruction OF
birds. The general sentiment In re-
gard to them is that they are harmless
interesting, beautiful creatures.
New York state has passed a bill
'forbiding sale, or possession Of plu-
mage of birds protected by state laws
whether birds are killed in that state
or not.
The birds within the boundaries OF
the United States are as nothing COM
pared to the millions which inhablt
the island possessions Of this country.
IT. is there that the feathered wards
Of the nation suffer. According to re-
ports from the Hawaiin islands mil
lions Of birds are killed each year, and
it is said their skins and feathers are
sold in New York.
The bird hunters there do not re
sort to stealth to reach their prey.
Never having been molested, the birds
make no effort to get away and are
knocked over with clubs or picked up
by the hands. The heartless poachers
in many instances, cut off the wings
and leave the helpless creatures 70
die a slow death. This government
should take strenuous measures to
run down and punish such barbar1ty.

Augusta, Ca, does it's northern rival

"In Kalamazoo" they tell us I'VE

full and inviting a phrase that other
cities have adopted it with only
change in name.
The slogan idea is a good one. 1t
is an indication Of a progressive
spirit.

THE ILLINOIS VETERANS ANC

The Illinois veterans yesterday at
their state encampment voted to lay
on the table resolution calling on
President Taft to order the removal OF
the statue of General Robert E. Lee
from the hall of fame at Washington,
holding that to pass upon such reso-
luton woyld be ill-advised. The res
olution thus disposed of declared that
so long as treason is considered a
crime statue of Lee could have no
proper place in the nations capital,
and likened the conduct of Lee to that
OF Benedict Arnold. Illinois newspa-

of all kinds, including the building OF

of her little river, which ought to
prove of vast benefit to her. In the
old world smaller rivers carry i'm.

munities that have grown up on its
banks.

A singular Marriage Custom.

The Kurds have a very curious and
somewhat dangerous marriage custom,
which one would think would be more
honored In the breach than In the OBJ
servance. The husband. surrounded
by a bodyguard of twenty or thirty
young men. carries his wife home on
his back In a scarlet cloth and is des-
perately assaulted the whole way by
a number Of girls. Sticks and stones
are hurled at the bridegroom, who In
the coming homo with his bride can
hardly be considered a very happy
man, for the irate amazons often in
fict on him marks which he carries
to the grave. 1t may be that among
the lady pursuers are some OF the
bridegrooms former FLAMES" who
turn the mock attack into downright
earnest to avenge sighted love.
