My feet and ankles swelled to nearly twice their natural size, Though six physicians treated me, they did not seem to un- derstand my case. When had about given up hope of being cured, friend urged me to try Doan's Kidney Pills The results of their use were beyond my expectations. My health improv- ed rapidly and before long l was well have never had the least sign of the fold trouble I gladly verify the en- dorsement I have given Doan's Kid ney Pills before."

ORATORY ON THE DECLINE

Somebody has stated that ora
tory was a lost art in the Con-
gress Of the United States. but
the facts are there is altogether
too much oratory, or matter that
passes for oratory in both bodies.
There is now pending in Con-
gress'theatariff and currency meas
ures, and it is a moral certainty
that these measures will pass as
they came from the committee
and all the oratory spilled will
not change line, word, syllable
or punctuation mark in either
measure.
The Herald is not discussing
the merits Of these bills, but the
business of the country will con-
tinue to stagnate until these
measures become laws and the
country adapts itself to the new
conditions. The only reason
they did not become laws a
month ago is because certain
senators talk and talk, and then
talk some more. One senator
has served notice on his colleag.
ues that he will require a week
to state his position.
The Congressional Records of
eech session will average from
SO to 100 volumes, the bulk of
each volume consisting of ver-
batim records of alleged oratori-
cal efforts of members of the two
legislative bodies. AS rule
there are not six speeches deliv-
cred per session that possess any
oratorical merit or make any
change in the vote, and the adj
dresses that do posses merit and
change mems minds never, or at
least very seldom, exceed a half
an hour in delivery and contain
less than 10000 words.
If our National legislature
would stop Grating, legislate and
come home, and if absolutely
essential that they talk, hire halls
and do their talking, the coun-
try and their constituents would
rise up and call them blessed.
