 The symptoms of kidney trouble are 90 unmiatakable that they leave no ground for doubs. Sick kidneys exOrete . thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of sediment. irregular of passage or attended by . sensation of sCalding. The back aches constantly, headaches and dizzy spells may occur and the victim is often weighed down by . feeling of lanRuor and fatigue. Neglect these warnings and there is danger of dropsy, Bright's disease or diabetes. Any one of these symp- toms 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 staf- ford Springs proof:
 Napoleon BillodeAu, Main street, Stafford Springs, Conn.,, says: 1T suffered from dull headaches for 8 long time, especially at night. When I arose in the morning I was tired and languid as she result of weak kidneys.

Safeguarding the Lives Of Under
ground Workers.

Since Uncle Sam has taken
upon himself the task of edu-
eating miners to the necessity of
new methods of protection in
underground shafts there has
been a great increase in the pop
ular attention given to this sub
1ect. The statement was made
in a recent issue Of the Scien-
tlfic American that in the past
twenty years coal mines in this
country have made 1000 wild
ows and $4,000 orphans, and
have exacted a toll of 10000
lives. In five years more than a
regiment has been killed out
right in the Pennsylvania coal
mines alone.
1T seems time" says this pa
per, for the government to
make strenuous efforts to over
come the ignorance which causes
most of the fatalities. .
! Accordingly, the work of the
new Bureau of Mines in it's mine
rescue capaign.is a work Of edu-
cation. One free school has al
ready been opened to miners
and others are planned for estab-
llshment in the near future.
Of more than usual interest
are the experiments and opera
tons carried on by the Bureau
OF Mines. Under the direction
OF experts sham explosions are
caused and tests made to deter
mine the comparative power of
the explosive materials used in
mines. The miners are invited
to watch the effect of these ex-
plosions, which are under con-
troll. Galleries are used for
lamp tests, which are made UNI
der conditions identical with
those met in underground shafts.
Miners are taught gin mimic
shafts how to act in cases of
emergency. Difficult passages,
with openings: such as those
found in a coal mine, make the

conditions sipilar to actual life.
Dummies representing til e
asphyxiated miners are carried
out by the men of the rescue
corps while the miners look on.
Travelling schools, or mine res
cue cars, are engaged in spread
ing this knowledge. Six of these
cars will soon be in the field, each
with its separate territory to
cover. Among the exhibits on
these cars will be telephones to
aid in the work of mine rescue.
Not long ago John Mitchell, who
for nearly ten years was presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers,
was quoted as saying: Mine ca
lamities always suggest means by
which lives thus lost might have
been saved. IF coal mines were
equipped with lephones.
throughout their workings, it
would be possible for, men en-
tombed to let those on the out
side know the location of the
place in which they were gather
ed, or at least let them know
what was their condition. And
thus the work of rescue would
be greatly aided.
Since the disaster of less than
two years ago in the Cherry coal
mine it has been generally rec
ognized that a telephone system
is essential for the proper safe
guarding of the lives of the
miners. The development of
telephone systems in mines has
nearly all occurred since that ca
lamity.
Telephone manufacturers rec
ognized that the ordinary tele-
phones which serve SO well the
purposes for which they were
designed would not do for UNDER
ground service. This requires
a telephone set that will be proof
against fumes, gases, moisture
and the other rigorous conditions
met with in mine shafts. Ac-
cordingly, there haye recently
been developed telephone sets
that fulfill these rigid specifica-
tons.
Some of these ironclad tele-
phone sets will stand up against
the most rigid conditions to be
found in mines of every descrip-
ton. A photograph recently
was taken of a Pennsylvania
miner using one of the Western
Electric Company's mine tele-
phones installed $4,000 feet from
the surface. The advantages of
a system Of these metal clad in
struments are very apparent.
The use of telephone and sig
nal systems forms a consider
able portion of the instruction
that is given to miners in a.
course on protection in under
ground shafts. In a case of
emergency there are two meth
DDS of communication between
the interiorp of mine and the out
side world. One is to run, Jump,
stumble and walk through dark
ened corridors. The other is to
use the telephone.

The census returnsfrequently

dreds of Hungarians, Italians
and other unnaturalized foreign
la borers working in the mines of
this district. In this count Of
noses, it is hardly probable that
anybody was overlooked by
these thrifty counters, as every
name added to what they had,
made three cents more to their
exehequer. When the county
court appointed the registrars for
this district to search out and
nail down its qualified voters,
the real discoveries were on the
job. The result Of their 1abors

of 5077 men women, children,

district, they found 1850 who
were legally qualified voters of

a voice in its government.
Peter Pan was the boy who
never grew up, unlike Peter. if
we believe the registration list,
the great majority of the people
of Magnolia District were born
grown up and on their way to
the polls with a ballot in hand,

employed by the United States
Government have found that
there is on an average only one
voter to every five persons. Shall

such rule? No, nix, not, a thous-

anybody can show US why there
should not be at least one voter
to every two and nine-tenths
persons in "Old Magnolia, !" we
might think about considering
his protest. There may be
other magnolias, we are willing
to admit that, with a mental res
