ADRUGGIST'S FAVORlTE KIDNEY
REMEDY HIMSELF.

Fifteen years ago / had an attack OF
acute kidney trouble. 1 consulted a
physician who gave me medicine
which only relieved me for time. Aft

estate from royal grant of land.
Mangote, situated about miles from
the town, is now in the hands of his
greatgrandsons, whose father was
lately president of the republic. Be-
fore the revolutionary days many
Chiricano landowners maintained a
lordly estate in peace and prosperity.
David is an attractive place, clean
and orderly as a Dutch burg and pic
turesque as a Tyrolean hamlet. Along
the broad, drab lengths of the streets
are lined modest dwellings with
whitewashed walls, red-tiled roofs, and
blue and green doors and window
shutters. The most pretentious resi-
dences are no more than two-storied
frame structures, with 10 rooms at
most and a patio in the rear. Of the
5000 inhabitants perhaps so are well
to do" in the conventional sense of
the phrase. The remainder are super

AS A PRACTICAL ILLUSTRATION
Oregon Cited as Successful Under
New Political System.
Editor The Washington Herald:

Editor The Washington Herald:
Now that the Supreme Court Is de-
hberating on the constitutionality Of the
initiative and referendum, permit an Ore
gonian to make a few remarks concern
ing that method of government which
we have tried for years.
Having been interested in the installa-
ton of that system in Oregon, now
travel from coast to coast teaching bodies
of workingmen that the initiative, refer
endum. and recall would give the people
the power to demand le. Nation upon
terms of their own dictation. The refer
endum signifies reference to the people
for their ratification OF all legislative
enactments before becoming a law, and
the recall gives the people the power
to remove any OF their civil servants
and suppIant them with others of their
own selection.
AS the proof of the pudding is the
eating thereof, we Of Oregon have GER
tainly had a taste of the cleanest of cam
paigns, free from graft, and a govern
ment freer from fraud than ever before
in the ,hIstory of the State.
