In fact, this was an instance of an in.
terstitial form Of Bright's disease develop
ing in consequence of diabetes in an ar
thritic patient. There were very probably
preliminary symptoms of arterial hyper.
tension, witch passed unnoticed, but pre-
pared the way for nephro-sclerosis, or
induration of the kidney, becoming evil
dent by the presence Of albumen and
by the short, quick breathing occurring
at intervals-often exhibiting what is
known as the Cheyne-Stokes rhy thin.
This is symptomatic of uraemia, or the
retention in the blood of the toxic mat
ter which it is the function of the kidneys
to eliminate.
The Cheyne-Stokes respiratory rhythm,
frequently alluded TO in connection with
the Emperor of Japan's illness, is not,
however, absolutely restricted to the dysp-
lea of Bright's disease 1t consists of
respiratory movements quickening in
series and then slackening and stopping
completely for considerable interval.
A pause occurs until new series begins,
and the movement is repeated. These
difficulties in breathing are due some
times to the presence of broncho-pul-
monary edema.
The retention in the blood of the tox-
ic matter due to vital phenomena is the
most important factor in uramic troubles.
Experiment has proved that when two
guinea pigs are injected with the same
quantity Of urine, in the one case from
a man whose kidneys are sound and in
the other from a man whose kidneys are
diseased, the animal in he first instance
is almost instantly killed, while the Sec
ond animal supports the same dose with
out any appreciable reaction This is
because the normal urine is charged
with toxic matter eliminatedsfrom the or
ganism, while the urine from the diseased
kidneys contains but little or less than
narmaIly.

Until last year Meredith attended the
Williamson Trade School, near Philadel

one expected anything startling from him
When he went to Mercersburg Jimmy
Curran took hold of him, and the results
show pretty plainly that Meredith had
the makings of a runner. Meredith S

to S74 yards 2 feet and 8 inches, was
I'm. 81 9-1Os. He won his race from
Mel Sheppard by one yard.
There was a new record set for the run
ming high jump, clearing the fbar at G
feet inches. George L. HORNE, of San
Francisco, who startled the athletic world
by clearing feet s inches in practice, fin
ished in third place, reaching his limit
at 6 feet 2 $40 inches.
Richards was another big surprise for
those who expected HORNE to capture the
jumping event easily. Two years ago he
failed to score point in the track meet
of the Brigham Young University, at
Provost, Utah. The next year he won
every event he entered, and for his pres
ent ability his Olympic performance

The new lacing for shoe, slightly

First Vacuum Cleaner.

The vacuum cleaner which has only
recently come into favor, was covered
Ivy a patent granted in 1869 to Daniel
Hess of West Union. la His device
was a carpet sweeper in which as it
rolled over the floor a bellows oper-
ated to create a suction, draw dust
up from the carpet and discharge IL
into pans of water, the bellows being
worked from a crank on one of the
supp Crting rollers. This cleaner close
Is resembles those marketed today
in that it has a broad fiat nozzle to
move along the floor, handle ex-
tending up to be grasped by one of
the operators hands. while the other
hand turns a drive pulley geared by
a rope with a fan which sucks the
dust up into a receptacle carried by
the handle above the fan. A machine
following this plan of more than 40
years ago, if well made mechanically
would present a good appearance
alongside of the modern machines.
and doubtless would give good results
in actual use.

The above news item recalls the
fact that the wooden bridges of Sumter
county, as pointed out by the Times
Recorder some time ago, are rapidly
approaching a condition where they
must be replaced, putting it squarely
up to the County Commissioners and
the people as to whether they will re-
new them with other bridges of short
life or substitute steel or concret
bridges.
Common sense seems to dictate that
the latter policy be adopted. 1t has
long since ceased to be economical to
put up wooden bridges. There was n
time when good timber could be had
at low prices in this section But that
time has passed away, never to return
Timber and lumber are now generally
inferior in character and the prices
are much higher than in the years
when the present bridges were con-
structed. The difference in first cost
between wooden bridges and those OF
a more substantial material has been
lessened, while the life of the former
has been seriously curtailed and the
repair account correspondence in
creased
The County Commissioners have not
yet moved in the matter of putting a
bond issue for bridges before the vot.
ers. Whenever it is done the progress
siye citizens of Sumter should go to
work to see that it carries and that
steel or concrete bridges are built. Il
is poor economy to save dollar now
by the construction of wooden bridges
only to expend twice as much in main
tenance as steel bridges would cost
and then having to replace them with
in a very few years.

Ryan and Belmont are both good
Democrats. Well maybe But there
are about five or six million Democ-
Gratis who regard their especial stripe
of democracy with the gravest suspic-
ion. They regard Ryan and Belmont
as representative of that small class
of alleged Democrats whose attach
ment to the party in the past has been
based upon the ability to exploit It to
their own interest. Hand in glove
with some devoted Republicans, whose
patriotic attachment to that party hal
about the same foundation of self-in-
terest, these two estimable gentlemen
gave very literally of their great for
tunes in past presidential campaigns,
but it would be a very difficult matter
to make the masses of the party be-
lieve that the expenditures of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars on their
part were so much for the party S
good as for their own good.
Men who have made their vast for
tunes as Ryan is said to have made
his can have no genuine sympathy
with a party whose cardinal creed is
the protection of the people from just
such methods as were successfully
used by i'm to enrich himself without
rendering any reasonable return to the
people The man who gave many
thousands of dollars to promote a Har-
mon boom in Ohio and as many more
thousand to promote an Underwood
boom in Georgia and Florida is a
sort of Democrat who will at least
stand watching. And the less the party
comes under the influence of such men
the more apt it is to remain true to
the people and faithful to its pledges.
