HEED THE WARNING
Many Americas People Have Done So

When the kidneys are weak they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. BY examining
the urine and treating the kidneys up
on the first sign of disorder, many
days of suffering may be solved. Weak
kidneys usually eXpel a dark ill-smell-
ing urine, full of "brickdust" sedi-
ment and painful in passage. Sluggish
kidneys often cause a dull pain in
the small of the back, headaches, dir
~ spells, tired, languid feelings and
frequent rheumatic twinges.

neys only There is no better recon-
mended remedy.

NO CONTEST
over ASTOR'S
WILL REPORT
GIVEN OUT BY FAMILY FRIEND
All BeDGfiCiarieS of Will Are
Satisfied

New York, May 11-There will be
no contest of the will of Col john
Jacob Aston. This was announced by
a high authority, speaking for the
family, yesterday All the beneficial
ries are satisfied with the provisions
/ and have stipulated legally that they
will not attempt to sue at law, ac-
cording to this person.
That every one concerned was salts
fed was also obvious from talks with
the three branches of the family.
While William H. Force, father of the
second Mrs. Astor, denied himself to
reporters, it was made known through
friends of the widow that she is emil
nently satisfied with the provisions
made for her and her expected child.
1t has been pretty accurately estab-
lished that the then Miss Force re-
ceived close to $2,O0O,OOO. By the
terms of the will she receives the
interest of a trust fund of $4,000, 900
and 100000 outright Her income
from this money would amount to APP
proximately $355,OOO a year.
The first Mrs. Astor will not attempt
to break the will, as she received a
substantial settlement at the time of
her divorce, as we'll as a cash settle
ment in lieu of dover rights before
her marriage. What the lump sum
paid her was has never been made
public, but it is known that she is re-
cevng 100000 annually and that the
she lives.
Lawyers who make the writing of
wills speciality generally agreed yes
terday that the clause establishing the
100000 trust fund for the expected
posthumous heir will stand in law
The fact that the courts decided 9TH
erwise in the Stachelberg will case in
1900 was said to have no bearing. In
some quarters however, it is believed
that it may be necessary to institute
friendly suit to clear up the mat
ter.
When Lewis Cass Ledyard, attor-I
ney for the Astor estate, was asked
concerning this feature of the will he
said to a reporter

Pineacura is Quick and Sure.
Removes Pain and Heals

1t is bad business to let any cut, or

way to get blood poison. Cuts and
sores disappear very soon after you APP

most effective remedy in the Drug
World for severe burns, strains, ul-
GERS or stiff muscles.
In other words, Pineacura does
away with all inhammation-ab sorbs
it and does it effectively and quickly.
1t is the one remedy mothers can
surely rely on for the little accidents
that children meet with almost daily.
Pineacura is penetrating, it will go
light into every cell in the lungs if
'ubbed on the chest and relieve the
light feeling of colds-the choked up
issues in pneumonia and bring on re-

Administration
Loosens Gag

Washington, April 17.-President
Taft has issued an executive order
which changes in some material as
petcs the "gag rule" which has pre-
viously been in effect in reference to
the activity of civil service employees
While the order does not entirely re-
lieYe the situation, it is indicative
that change of attitude has taken
place. This change no doubt has been
occasioned by the attitude assumed
by the postoffice committee in the
house, recommending an abolition OF
the gag rule order, which prohibits
the civil service employees from reach
ing congressman by petition. The
recent order is as follows: 1T is
hereby ordered that petitions or
other communications regarding pub
lie business addressed to Congress or
either house or any committee or
member thereof by officers or en-
ployes in the civil service of the Uni
ted States shall be transmitted
through the heads of their respecti-
i've departments or offices, who shall
forward them without delay with such
comment as they may deem requisite
to the public interest. Officers and
employees are strictly prohibited,
either directly or indirectly, from at
tempting to secure legislation or to
influence pending legislation, except
in the manner above prescribed. This
order supersedes the executive orders
df January 81, 1902, January rs, 1905,
and November 2e, 1909, regarding the
same general matter"

New Hospital BUILDING

who are either directly or indirectly

contribute literally toward the con
structicn of new city hospital. We

the difficulty experienced by all of
us is to select a worthy object. In
contributing to the hospital fund, we
can feel no doubt or uncertainty as
to the worthiness of the cause, and
we can, if we feel it necessary, re-
coup in a measure by reducing the
amounts that we would otherwise per-
haps contribute to doubtful or less
worthy objects.
In addition, a gift that goes to as
sist in the erection of a modern hos
pital in our city appeals to our civic
pride in two ways at least; it inn
proves the city by adding splendid
building; and it equips us with long
felt municipal necessity. If we take
pride in our municipality, we should
contribute toward the erection of an
other fine building. If we feel that
our city is unprogressiye by reason
Of not having a hospital, we should !
and by erecting a hospi-I
tai place Bellaire on an equality in
this respect with other cities of It's
size in the country.
