American balloon Goodyear, one of
the contestants in the International
race for the James Gordon Bennett

began a northward drift but the wind
later increased to a gale and Mr.. Up
son decided that it was unwise to con-
tinue further.

BACkACHE IS
A DANGER SIGNAL
Kidney Troubles, Bladder Dis
orders, Rheumatism, and
Serious Disease Follow.

There are other symptoms, such as pains
in the region of the kidneys, nervousness,
dizziness, tired and wornout feeling, weak
bladder. or urinary troubles, which are
just as dangerous, for the slightest kidney
arrangement If neglected may develop
into the deadly Bright's disease, dropsy or
diabetes.
1t is not only dangerous, but needless
for you to suffer and endure the tortures
of these troubles, for Croxone promptly
ends all such misery.
There is no more effective remedy for
kidney, bladder trouble and rheumatism,
than CToxone, because 1t reaches the
cause. 1t soaks right into the kidneys,
through the walls and Innings, cleans out
the clogged up pores, neutralizes and dis
solves the poisonous uric acid and waste
matter, that lodge in the joints and
muscles and cause those terrible rheu-
matte pains. and makes the kidneys filter
the poison from the blood and drives 1t
out of the system
Three doses of Croxone day for few
days is often all that is ever needed to
Heve the worst backache or overcome dis
agreeable urinary disorders
You will find Croxone different from
other remedies. 1t is SO prepared that 1t
is practically impossible to take it with
out results An original package Of
Croxone costs but trifle. mad all drug
gists are authorized to return the pur-
chase price If it should fail in q single
case.-Ady.

WON'T PAROLE "BUCK."
Major Brown Says Veteran Ball Player
Must Wait.

Larned, Kan, Oct. 15.-Major w. L..
Brown, chairman of the state board
of correction, was in Larned attend
ing the irrigation convention, and
While here his attention was called to
the report sent out from Topeka that
Governor Hodges and his pardon
clerk, Sam Seaton, were about to par
don Buck Weaver, sent to the peni-
tertiary over a year ago.
Major Brown said that while some
letters had been received favoring
Weaver, the matter had not come up
officially before the board of par
dons and that if it did it would be
turned down by the board. He said
that the report was shown to Gov
ernor Hodges by Mrs. Mitchner, presi-
dent of the state W. c. T. U. and the
governor had said that he had never
thought of such a thing as pardoning
Weaver.
Major Brown said the report that
Hodges and Seaton had played ball
with Weaver when they were boys to-
gether at Olathe was correct, but that
the governor would make that a
cause of pardoning Weaver was too
ridiculous to talk about. Weaver is
guilty of a gross crime said the
major, land he must take his pun
iShment."

WANT MORE SEED WHEAT.
Logan County Farmers Have Not
Enough to Supply Demand.

Oakley, Kan, Oct. 15.-In the inter
est of the Kansas Seed Wheat club,
Commissioner Wolfe of Logan county
spent last week in Kansas City solicit
ing members to the club. He succeed
ed in getting promises of $4,000 more
in funds for the club. Martin SUIT
cliffe of Cove county was also there
a part of the time. Mr.. Wolfe has
done some good work as a member of
the Seed Wheat club for the ten west
ern Kansas counties desiring seed
wheat. Several cars have already been
received in Logan county and Com
missioner Newell has been looking
after those at this end of the line
while Commissioner Hinton has been
looking after the Russell Springs end
of the deal Many of the western
counties have called for seed wheat,
but none of them seem to be willing
to put any work into the game. Logan,
Cove and Thomas counties are the
only ones that have done anything in
the line of helping the club and the
rest of the counties are getting the
benefit.
The ground is in good shape and all
of the farmers are busy getting in
their seed. More wheat is needed and
will probably arrive in a short time.

TO PROTECT THE GOLD
New York Banker Advocates Pro-
vision for Export Duty.

New York, Oct. ia novel plan for
protecting the country gold supply was
suggested today by John E. Gardin,
vice president of the National City
Foreign Exchange Problems" before
the second national conference on cur
rency reform held under the auspices
of the New York academy of political
science Mr.. Gardin said the president
should be empowered to proclaim an
export duty on gold when necessary,
to safeguard the supply. THE most
serious problem confronting US today
in our international relations, partic-
ularly in view of the pending changes
in our banking SYSTEM, said Mr.. Gar
din, sis the protection of our gold sup
ply. The United States is the only alb
solutely free market for gold in the
world, and we have to suffer for our
liberality.
IF conditions are normal and ex-
changes are against US. it would
neither be wise nor good business pol
icy to place any restrictions upon the
export of gold at all, but if we see
that an export of metal under such
circumstances would still further ag-
gravate conditions it would be perfect
1y proper to apply the brakes, particu-
larly so as recent legiSla ton has made
it easier to obtain bars than formerly.
We could add a premium to the cost
of bars, but this premium could not be
placed higher than one-fourth of one
per cent, as that is about the differ
ence between bars and coined gold.
This premium could be made on a slid
ing SCALE with a maximum of one
fourth per cent. This is about the linn
it of arbitrary action. OF course all
of this is predicated upon a legitimate
export demand on the basis of ex-
change rates.
eff the demand, however, is an ar
bitrary one, such recently took
place in connection with gold ship
ments to Paris. the president of the
United States should be empowered to
proclaim an export duty on all gold
exports unless it can be shown that the
export is taking place strictly on the
basis of prevailing exchange rates.
This power probably would never be
invoked, but it would have a deter
rent effect"

Chronic Constipation
Causes Many Serious Ailments
MRS. JOHN O. ATKINSON.
1859 North Emporia Ave..
Wichita. Kansas.

Mrs. ]. o. Atkinson of Wichita,
Kansas, firmly believe that she would
have been dead had it not been for
Peruna and Manalin. She was very
much out of sorts when her husband
induced her to take these medies
She had been sick for twenty-five
years, more or less. As is usual In
such cases, she was suffering from a
complication of diseases.
OF course a great many things had
been resorted to, but it appears from
the account of her case that she re-
ceived no particular benefit from any
thing that she tried. AS her husband
states: Her case had baffled the
skill of some of the most noted physi-
Clans"
Prominent among her other trou-
bles was chronic constipation Con-
stipation is very distressing where it
continues. The choice between con-
stipation and the continued use of
physic is a very doubtful one.
1t was in this dilemma that Peruna
found Mrs. Atkinson. She used it
faithfully, according to directions,
and was completely restored, not only
from her constipation, but also her
former ailments.
This occurred some twelve or fiji
teen years ago, since which time we
have been in constant correspondence
with her, and she has continued to
praise Peruna and enjoy the best of
health.
People who object to liquid medi-
cines can now obtain Peruna tablets.
