A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
Information Of Importance to Everyone

A great deal of pain and suffering
might be avoided if we had some know
ledge of physiology and the care of the
body, particularly those parts that do
the most work and should always be
kept strong and healthy.
In an interview with prominent
physician he states that people should
pay more attention to their kidneys as
they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
altering the blood.
During the winter months especially,
when we live an indoor life, the kidneys
should receive some assistance when
needed, as we take less exercise, drink
less water and often eat more rich
heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys
to do more work than Nature intended
Evidence of kidney trouble, such al
lame back, inability to hold urine
smarting or burning, brick-dust or sedi
ment, sallow complexion, rheumatism
may be weak OF irregular heart action
warns you that your kidneys require
help Immediately to avoid more serious
trouble.
An herbal medicine containing M
minerals or opiates has the most healing
influence. An ideal herbal compound
that has had remarkable success as
kidney remedy is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp

tends the delay that the lords can create. It is not considered, how ever a material extension of the power of the lords for delay and re- vision and it renders the great con- stitutional change more definite and satisfactory. The amendment has been accepted by the ministry.
 The bill as amended was carried by vote of 265 to 147, and it's speedy passage in the house of commons is now well assured. The impression prevails that after the coronation the peers will accept the inevitable by passing the bill that renders two par ties possible in the kingdom-a bill that has been twice ratified by the people in general elections.
 The bill will inaugurate a consti- tutional change greater than any in the history of the country since the days of William and Mary, and the name of Asquith will outrank in that respect even those of Gladstone and Beaconsfield in the Victorian period

ORIGIN OF BROKEN BOW

From the Washington Post
 'How did our town get it's name?' re- peated Judge J. R. Dean of Broken Bow, Neb.. at the Dewey last night. Well have had to answer the question so often. and always to hotel clerks, so l am used to it. Broken Bow is not very old, and 1t started like so many more thriving towns on the western plains, with a shop and a store-also a postmaster. It did not take long to appoint a postmaster, for the reason that only one man in the vicinity wanted the job, and his first trouble was to pick a name that would suit your high and mighty postoffice officials down here in Washington.
 Name after name was sent in by the first postmaster and all were rejected Finally he was walking around in the high grass one morning and stubbed up against something which he found to be a broken bow left there years before by an Indian.
 "The finding of that ancient weapon gave the discouraged postmaster an in spiration, and he sent the name Broken Bow to the department at Washington, and they seemed to fancy it, and so 1t went on the map

Progress of the Veto Bill

The committee or amendment stage of the veto bill has been passed in the house of commons, and the bill nas now to go through the debate stage only in order to be sent to the house of lords. This may take place next week.
 The bill was amended in one im- portant respect only. The second clause of the bill provided that any bill other than a money bill should take effect provided it is passed by the house of commons in three sue cessive sessions. The clause as orig inally drawn provided that two years should elapse between the first in- troduction of the bill and it's passage the third time. In the amended form the two years is to be calculated from the date of the passing of the sec ond reading of the bill in the house # commons. This somewhat ex-

Gambling on Baseball

Steps should be taken in this city and in all other Southern league cities to keep baseball clean. Gambling ruined horse racing and it will take away popular interest in the national game also unless steps are taken to eliminate it, for it destroys faith in the integrity of the game, and when that is gone the game will stand con- demned. It is easier to throw" a game of baseball than it is a horse race, and when the public begins to see that games are controlled by gamblers the end of the game will be in sight. A scandal of this sort oc- cured in the Louisville club away back in 1878, and the guilty play CTS were punished, and no repetition has been detected down to the present time. Continuous gambling on the results of games would, however, lead to such episodes.
 Prompt and vigorous measures should be taken to keep any taint of gambling away from o,1r great outdoor sport. The commission has been appealed to in this city, and the cimmission should be aided by the telegraph and telephone companies until the making of handbooks on baseball games becomes an impossi- bility.
 One of the strongest points of baseball, therefore, has been it's free dom from gambling. No player should be put under temptation to throw" a game. Oftentimes he could do so and escape detection. The gambler and the crooked player should be driven out without loss of time and without mercy, The book maker should be discomtenanced and The Age Herald has full faith that the commission will keep the game clean in this city at any rate. The honesty of the game is its strong point, and this point should not be lost or even tainted.

FINALLY GOT TO FIGHTING rom the Philadelphia Times.


 Bishop Woodbridge of Kentucky was discussing the Southern mountaineers, among whom he had lived and worked for many years. The question of family feuds was brought up and the Bishop re- lated the following anecdote:
 "A certain family had attended re- union which terminated in 8 free-for-all fight The offenders were taken before the local justice of the peace. who ques- tioned an old woman. as to the particu- lars of the fight Her description was typical of the mountaineer's attitude to- ward strife and bloodshed.
 Well, Judge she said, Jem Lewis got into an argument with Hank Budds. Budds smashed Jem over the head with stick of cordwood, bursting his head open. Then Jem's brother slashed Hank up with butcher knife, and Lou Barry shot him through the leg. Larry Stover went at Lou with an ax, and then, Judge, we just naturally got to fight ing"

The Iron Market

Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati iron market report says:
 Pig iron sales and inquiries are stiIl running small. April will not get into any page of history for anything remark able in connection with the iron trade The business done during that month was small, and it is estimated that the total production during the month was from 5 to 6 per cent less than March. The great est decrease was in steel-makng iron, but independent furnaces also reduced their output.
 There were no important' price conces- sions during the month, and it was firm one as far as prices were concerned, as it is recognized that furnaces are selling at cost or less. There is little business pending in pig iron, but shipments on con- tracts are proceeding with fair regularity
 '1n finished products there is a dis tinct improvement over the week before, the railroads coming to the front to an extent rather unexpected, and the effect was distinctly favorable.
 Locally the coke situation is without change as regards shipments on contracts. Production is being curtailed in all dis tricts. There is no change in prices on either furnace or foundry fuel"

MOST BEAUTIFUL OF STONES

From the Washington Herald.
 Experts generally aver that the most beautiful of all precious stones is the red diamond said Abram c. Harris, whole sale diamond dealer, of New York, who was seen at the Raleigh.
 Tt is held to surpass even the ruby in beauty, end is extremely rare. One of the very few specimens on record is that which was purchased by Emperor Paul of Russia for s10O, 900. This stone weighs 10 carats.
 "Of blue diamonds, the most conspicu- ous examples are the Hope and Bismarck gems. Indeed, 1t has been said that they are the only known specimens of the dia- mond that can properly be called blue. Dark blue diamonds. differing only from sapphires in duality and displaying the beautiful play of colors peculiar to the diamond, are handsome gems.
 "Other rare diamonds are those of the black and rose-colored varieties; but the green diamond is not so rare. The grass green kind, however, is scarce, and when it does occur is generally of brilllancy exceeding that of the finest emerald The Museum of Natural History at Paris has collection of green-tinted diamonds that is said to be one of the finest, but at the museum In Dresden is to be seen the most perfect specimen of this color. Tn the museum at Vienna the collectors eyes are made to bulge at the sight of a most wonderful collection of colored dia- monds It Is shown in the form of a bouquet the flowers whereof are com posed of diamonds of the same colors as the bloom represented

Fire Waste Here and Elsewhere

While the commission is ascertain ing the cost of fire departments in other cities, it should have also in- quired as to fire losses in those cities. Fire expenses should bear some re- lation to fire losses. The informa- tion sought is to come from cities not having less than 100000 popula- tion-from cities of about the size of Birmingham.
 The per capital fire loss in 1909 was in New York S2.94; in Chi cago s2.1S; in Philadelphia $1.46; in St. Louis S136; in Boston $3; in Bal timore s2.14; in Cleveland S2.45; in San Francisco $274; in Buffalo S3.16; in Pittsburg $1.87; in Atlanta $2.42, and in New Orleans $1.74. The average per capita loss was in 252 American cities $3.10. In Europe, on the other hand, 43 of the chief cities show a loss of only 61c per capita. The average fire loss in Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Denmark is but 33c a year per capita.
 When the American loss is swelled ten times it simply means lack of means of prevention. The difference is waste for which we ourselves should be held responsible. Our fire fighting apparatus is the very best, and if we would take steps to prevent fires from starting the percentage of losses would be reduced to that of the European standard. We need more prevention. We should begin to grow away from frame houses which at the best are finder boxes.
 Of the S2OO,OO0,OO0 which annual ly goes to smoke and ashes in this country insurance experts say that all but $50, 0,000,00O is waste that proper precautions would save to the country.

HOSPITALS AS PAWN SHOPS

HOSPITALS AS PAWN SHOPS
 From NJ. A. P.
 In my opinion, the most absurd decision was arrived at by the infirmary commit tee of the Salford board on guardians the other day. It appears that when a patient who had been an inmate of Hope hospital dies, it is customary for the relatives to apply to the infirmary committee for the clothes and the belongings of the deceased. The committee, however, make it a rule not to give up these things unless payment is made of the cost of the patients treatment whilst he or she was in hospital.
 A few days ago widow made the GUS tomary application, but was not pre- pared to pay the three guineas the hos pital authorities asked. because, although she had drawn s20 insurance money, she had many debts to pay and child years of age to keep. Her entire source took her all her time to make a living.
 As this woman had already been given her husbands gold watch and s5 in money which he took into the hospital, possibly she was unwise to press for his other belongings, but it is the principle to which I take objection.
 These so-caled charitable institutions are supported by the ratepayers and by voluntary contributions. Now, inasmuch as the poorer people pay more in rates in proportion to their earnings than those who are better off, it Is only just that they should receive the greatest benefit from such places. Patients are received free after it has been proved that they cannot afford to be treated privately, but what benefit do those belonging to them derive if money is demanded after the patients death? e
 To revert to the special case above mem tioned. The widow had drawn the in surance money s20-possibly it appeared perfect gold mine to this poor. hard working shopkeeper when she first held It in her hand. Poor, deluded soul! Why, the begging letters received by those who have been known to have inherited a legacy is nothing to the ''duns' that ar rive in profusion when it is whispered that .'So-and-So'' has just drawn her int surance money, "e20"
