HAVE YOU SUSPECTED YOUR KIDNEYS?

There are two ways to tell whether you
have weak kidneys.
The first is through the pains in the back
and other outward signs. The second is
by examination Of the kidney secretions.
That is why physicians make such a
careful examination when you apply for
insurance, and if there is any sign of kid
ney trouble you are surely rejected.
Kidney disease is so dangerous that it
is bad mistake to overlook or neglect it,
and if pain in the back, recurring head
aches, or fretful, 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 color.
PASSAGES too frequent, profuss, or much
reduced. or scaldin6 and painful.
Sandy. gritty or cloudy settlinas'
on the surface when allowed to stand,
or jelly-lke thickenins.
Staining of the linen or bad odor.
Temporary changes may occur for 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
backaches rheumatic pain, nervousness, dir

FIGHTING DICK is OUT

The official life of zone of the great
est fighters, best fellows and most be-
loved officers the service afioat has
ever had expired the other day, when
Rear Admiral Richard Wainwright re-
tired from active service, owing to the
age limit.
No officer in the United States navy
was better known, or better liked than
Fighting Dick" Wainwright. His
record of service is long and efficient.
He graduated from the Naval Academy
in 1868, but it was not until the early
90's that his name began to be heard
outside the service. He was executive
officer of the Battleship Maine when
she was blown up in Havana harbor.
When war was declared with Spain
Capt wainwright was among the first
to apply for active service. He was
delighted when he was placed in COM
mand of j. Pierpont Morgan's trans
formed pleasure yacht, the Corsair.

lin TIL I'M TWILIGHT
is PROMINENT IN CONGRESS

John Sharp Williams, senator from
Mississippi, is one of the picturesque
figures in congress. Two things make
him So. One is his deafness, which is
considerable, and which they say is
growing on him. AS result of 1t he
continually keeps his hand followed
to his ear and frequently has to ask to
have the question repeated to him. The
other is his habit-a result, prob
ably of his deafness-of moving about
the senate during debate. He does
not like to sit-still. He walks-softly
and gracefully-from his chair toward
the man whom he is talking at, with
his right forefnger extended and ac-
cusing his opponent, and with his left
hand helping him to hear. Apparently
he never for moment thinks that
he is conspicuous or picturesque.

well as picturesque in garb, and man

NEW LEADER or THE REDS

The job of handling the Cincinnati
team has fallen to Hank O'Day, for
many years well-known National
league umpire. A number of the best
known players in the country were
mentioned for the position of manager,
but the selection of O'Day was in the
nature of big surprise. O'Day was
a pitcher before he joined the ranks Of
umpires IL years ago. He twirled for
the New York Giants and other Of the
big league teams and was accounted
one of the best box artists on the dia-
mond. He has never been tried in a
managerial position and there will be
much interest manifested in the man
ner in which he will succeed in Gin
cinnati, where SO many good baseball
pilots have made failures in building
up a strong team.
O'Day is q man of excellent judg-
ment and tact and has the necessary
amount of nerve to back up his opin-
ions. When brought up against

they were peculiar to Italy, but has
found them since in Mexico and South
