There are two ways to tell whether you

There ara two ways to tell whether you
have weak kidneys.
The first is through the pain. in the back
and other outward signs. The second is
by examination Of the kidney sccrctions.
That is why physicians make such q
careful examination when YOU amply for
insurance. and il there ia any .ign OF kid
ney trouble you are surely rejected.
Kidney disease is so dangerous that it
is a bad mistake to overlook or neglect it..
and if pain in the back. recurring head
aches, or a f~retful. nervous, tired condition
makes you suspect some kidney trouble.
take the trouble to watch the kidney secre-
tons. Look for any of the following
signs:
More or less than three and one half
pints passed daily.
Too dark or too pale a color.
PASSAGES too frequent. profuse, or much
reduced. or scaldina and painful.
sandy. GRITTY or cloudy settings.
Fat or ~oily-lookine layer which gathers
or q jelly.like thickenina.
Staining Of the linen or bad odor.
Temporary changes may occur for a time
from things eaten, but if the changed ap-
pearance continues, your kidneys are out
of order and need help. Neglect may prove
serious.
Doan's Kidney Pills correct and regu-
late the kidney secretions, stimulate and
heal sick kidneys, and thereby drive away

PlTIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"A few days after birth we noticed
an infiamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was %bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have a stitch OF
clothing on. Our regular physician
a very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh s. rapidly that we be.
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
Not until l commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him. and | had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair anne off, and left him entirely
bald, but since We have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. -Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. l don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem.
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would
fuss until l would treat him, they
semed to relieve him so much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec.
o~mmendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B.

TABLE TOP IMMUNE TO HEAT

fVas staying with an antique furni->

vevy much interested to find that hot
plates and dishes seem t have no efI
fecs on his old gate-leg dining table.
Says a writer in the philadelphia In
auirer.
inquired how it was managed, and
this is what he told me:
When the table was bought, the first
thing he did was to remove the coat
ing OF French polish that vas already
ON. This he did by scrubbing it with
not water to which a good allowance
OF washing powder had been added.
When the whole was of. the wood was
rinsed with clear. warm water. and
then rubbed over with a cloth dip

er such harsh treatment it was ruined,
but it wasn't.
After applying the vinegar and wa
ter. he rubbed it as dry as possible.
and when dry he started to polish it
with boiled linseed oil. One can buy
1t all ready for use at any oil and
paint shop.
Taking a very little Of the oil on a
soft cloth. he began to polish with
a circular movement round and round.
When he had gone all over the sur
lace he polished we'll with a clean soft
duster till all trace of the oil was
removed.
Next day he repeated the process,
and this he did every day. barring Sum
day. for six months, adding just a
wee drop of ammonia to the oil during
the last month or two.

TRUTH ABOUT JONAH

From the New York Independent.
 We felt it duty to print Professor McCloskie's letter defending his explana- tion how the whale could have swallowed Jonah and kept him alive with comfort in his lair chamber as large as an ord- nary bedroom. But we admit that the existence and size of that lair cham ber," with other statements about whales swallowing their young for their tempor- ary safety was such a surprise to us that we made inquiries through Dr. Horna- day, director of the Geological park, of the man who knows nearly all about whales, Dr. Frederick A. Lucas of the American Museum of Natural History. We submit his decision, which is conclu- sfve and final:
 No whale has any air chamber in it's stomach and any statement to that ef- feet is based upon misinterpretation of the facts. The finback whale has been taken in the Mediterranean and it has a slightly complicated stomach, which may have led to the belief that it served as an air sac.
 Like the seals, the whales have vast enlargement of the arteries and blood vessels overlying the lungs which are supposed to serve in oxygenizing the blood.
 There is not the slightest reason to be-

MILLIONAIRE LOAN SHARK

Milwaukee has the distinction of being the first city in the United States to im- nr;soo a loan shark The distinction is doubled, says the Syracuse Post-standard' by the fact that the imprisoned loan shark is a millionaire, the occupant or me residence built in the exclusive section of the city with money tortured out or harassed and unfortunate humanity All sorts of efforts were made by the friends of this successful capitalist to keep him out of jail. but they were not as numer- ous as the letters and telegrams that were sent to Judge Backus when he had finally and decisively sentenced Lawrence Nurphv to the House of Correction for 90 days.
 sharp operation A Chicago woman se- cretly borrowed s25 In 1896 to buy clothes for her son. A mortgage was given on her furniture. Fifteen years afterward
 her husband died. Last November the
 loan shark died Next day his son called
 for money, the transaction came to light, and it developed that 500 had been col lected on the original loan of s25. Rumors that well known capitalists have credit houses which cooperate with the salary loan concerns. increases the public interest in this kind of financering and makes more urgent everywhere the neces- sitv of rigid prosecution of loan shark criminals. such has been exhibited in Milwaukee and the establishment of re- , medial loan companies.

1 there occasionally, but my place or ous- mess being on Twentieth street, near Second avenue, I vary my patronage Sometimes I eat a hearty meal at noon and sometimes only light lunch. If one does not mind paying high class cafe prices one could be as well served here as in Chicago or New York. If one Is looking for q cheap place Birmingham has some that are excellent.
 "The other day I heard a lady say that Birmingham needed a restaurant in the business district where b cent lunches could be served to working girls, or other young women of limited means. She said there were many girls of refinement who would be glad to pay 15 cents for light sandwich, cup of coffee or glass Of milk and a dessert. but they could not afford to pay as much as 25 cents or even 20 cents. Not being able to find nice place conducted on a b cent basis many working girls have to be content with a cold lunch brought from home or their boarding house. My lady friend had an idea that a restaurant doing a large business in 15. cent lunches could make barrels of money but in this she was mistaken. Caterers do business on close margin of profit and only those serving hundreds of meals day can prosper in the long run

q hear talk of a new party in case Roosevelt is not nominated by the re- publicans," said J. r. Harling of De- troit. q am a republican, although not as ardent a party man as I used to be- If President Taft is the nominee will vote for him. I might possibly vote for Roosevelt if he were the stan dard bearer, but the probability is would stay away from the polls.
 "The ex-President has been disap- pointing to many republicans because he made 1t appear in 1904. Just after he was elected, that he would never be a candidate again and would never accept another nomination even if 1t ing a characteristic fight to capture the nomination. The country does not need his services in the White House and if he should, by any hook or crook. be nominated and elected it would be because of his self seeking and not because he was drafted
 MT. Roosevelt has said that in the event of his failure to receive the nom- nation he would not lead or join an- other party; but in view of his action in regard to a third term no one can feel certain that he would keep his promise. It looks to me as if the coun try will be tired enough of Roosevelt. If he fails to win the nomination any body who tried to form a new party from discontented republicans so-calieo progressives would meet with little or no success"

Business Conditions

There Is a decided better feeling in financial circles than there was a month ago. said a prominent citizen who keeps in touch with the various business centers of the country.
 "A friend who is proverbially pessi- mistic writes from New York that busi- ness conditions are improving and that the outlook is really bright. While the leading financiers are still con- servative in expressing their views con cerning financial matters, especially where large ventures are considered, are now quite optimistic.
 "I believe that this country Will start on an era of genuine prosperity this summer, provided crop reports are encouraging. In the Birmingham dis trict the outlook is brighter than it has been in several years. The active coal trade and the awarding of contracts for double tracking the Louisville and Nashville naturally combine to stimu- late values in this city. The real es- tate market Is now very brisk and speculative investments on. an exten- sive scale will continue. When ground is broken for one or two skyscraper hotels and other projected buildings, Birmingham boosters will be more nu- merous than ever; in fact everybody will be a booster"
