A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts Regarding
Health Statistics

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the con-
dillon of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases
OF serious illness makes chemical
analysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the Kidneys are
doing their work properly. the other
organs cannot be brought back to
health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected
or abused In any way, serious results
are sure to follow. According to
health statistics, Bright's disease,
which is really az, advanced form
Of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten
thousand deaths in 1910 lin the State
Of New York alone. Therefore, 1t
behooves us to pay more attention to
the health of these most important
organs.
An ideal herbal compound that
has had remarkable success as a kid
ney remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great Kidney, Liver and
Bladder Remedy
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for it's remark
able record Of cures.
If you feel that your kidneys re-
Quire attention, and wish a sample
bottle, write to DIR. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, n. Y. Mention this
paper and they will gladly forward
it to you absolutely free, by mail.

LANSDOWNE REVIEWS PLEA
FOR HOME RULE JUDGMENT
Irish Bill Up Again in House Of
Lords for Second Reading
Under Parliament Act.

London. July 1.-THE Home Rule bill
for ireland came up to-day before the
House of Lords for second reading Tor
the second time. under the provision or
the Parliament act which permits the
massage Of bills over tho heads OF the
peers within a specified period.
The main interest in the reappearance
Of the bill In the House Of Lords lies IN
the possible Developments of Lord Lans-
downe's motion, which says. That TINS
House declines TO proceed with the con-
sideratiou OF the bill until Il has
been submitted tC the judgment Of tho
country
The Marquis Of Crewe. Secretary OF
state for India, and Liberal leader IN
the House Of Lords. in moving the second
reading remarked that the government
regarded the opposition motion as
demonstration against the Parliament acc
rather than as one against HON" Rule.
Lord Lansdowne in presenting his mo-
ton remarked that If the House read
the bill a second time ii would he tanfa-
mount 10 accepting the principle OF the
Parliament act and would be an ncquics-
cence in "the treatment which has been
meted out to this House" In his opinion
this could not be done without loss oi
self-respect. He invited the government
n withdraw the Home Rule oil from the
operation of the Parliament act aad be-
fore 1t became law TO dissolve Parl'a-
ment and refer it TO the electors by means
of referendum. The opposition. he
promised, would accept that verdict.

SENTENCE Anglers WOMEN
suffragists Say White Shaver"
Got Off Easily.
[By Caple 10 The Tribune.l

London. July 14.-Because a woman
known as "Queenie" Gerald, pleading
guilty to violating the white slave"
law. was sentenced to only three
months. while suffragettes are thrown
into prison for long terms for breaking
windows and throwing acid into pillar
letter boxes. intense Indignation has
been manifested by suffrage support
ers. One Of many letters TO the news
papc- this morning said:
The deputy chairman of the Lon
don sessions offered the suffragists and
their friends the deepest insult possible
by sentencing this notorious member
of Mrs. Warren's profession to such
short term for trafficking in human
flesh and blood, while Mrs. Pankhurst
and a few other noble women are being
done 10 death for merely trying to get
in a position TO force laws which would
nut an end to just such a vile trade as
the Gerald woman piled in a Piccadilly
fiat"
The police raid on "Queenie" Geralds
establishment was highly sensational
and had so much publicity that the
contrast between her sentence and
those Of the suffragettes was quickly
noticed.
