How Cold Affects the KIDNEYS.

Avoid taking cold if your kidneys are
sensitive. Cold congests the kidneys,
throws too much work upon them
and weakens their action. Serious kid

get rid of the pain and soreness, build
them up by the timely use of Foley

NO IMPORTANT CONTESTS.

Although the democratic /candi-
dates for the presidential nomination
have conducted vigorous campaigns
throughout the country, they have
been in the main friendly. AS a con-
sequence their respective followers in
the various states have submitted
gracefully 20 the verdict of the regu-
larly constituted conventions and
presidential preferential primaries, and
the delegates 20 the Baltimore con
vention thus selected will meet with
cut bitter antagonisms engendered by
strife in the trial campaigns.
Contests, therefore, are few and far
between. About the only constituency
that can be depended upon TO send an
overplus of delegates is the District Of
Columbia, where electing anybody TO
any office is such a rarity that local
patriots cannot resist the temptation
to get all the excitement possible out
OF IT, The Illinois contest will not af-
feet the presidential situation, even if
It materializes, which is not at all
I likely, as the contesting delegates-at-
large and those whose seats are con
/ tested are instructed for Clark.
The democratic conventions com.
mittee on credentials this year will
| therefore enjoy a pratical picnic. This
| very gratifying fact indicates a con
! dition of democratic harmony that be,
I speaks an enthusiastic campaign nc
matter what one of the candidates may
Dc nominated, or in case the nominee
for president shall be a dark horse.
The scandal of frivolous and ire
sponsible contests is monopolized thi,
year by the republicans. and so bitter
has become the feeling growing out Of
them that whatever the decision,
reached the effect will be a lessenin.
of party loyalty and a decreased vot,
for the party ticket.
The favorable contrast in the mat
ter OF contests which the democratic
party exhibits over the republican
party. cannot fail TO impress many re
publican voters and practically all in
dependent voters with the belief tina
the best interests Of the country de
mand the election Of the democrati
national ticket

Of extreme cruelty, she having struck
