Once Every Month.

A quantity Of opium pipes, lamps,

than 10000 taels, was publicly burned
in the presence of Chinese officials
and G squad of soldiers on the empty
space of ground behind the British

were piled in heap opposite the
Ningpo club and were thoroughly
soaked in kerosene and packed round
about with firewood
This was set fire to, kerosene being
poured on the bonfire when the flames
showed signs of dying down. Not

carried out once month, this being
the second time, and different place

Floating factories have become an
important part of the development
of the forest resources of India. In
certain parts of the country forests
are only accessible through the water
courses, and the great expense of
erecting land plants for the utilization
Of the lumber resources makes such
course impracticable. Therefore
sawmills and other manufacturing
establishments are built on floating
platforms and moved up the streams
as they are needed.

One OF the most serious OF all human ills

most serious consequences is kidney trou-

Bile may In the majority Of instances be
directly traced to faulty elimination of
poisonous matter in the bowels and kid
neys because of the clogged conditions.
These two organs are designed to rid the
system OF all that cannot be properly used
to nourish and strengthen the body. In
fact. they are part Of the great human
sewer system built to carry off effete ma
terial; when they become clogged from
constipation or other causes the danger
signal Is out and unless immediate atten-
ton is paid to 1t and the cause removed
serious results will follow
Dr. Kings Royal Germetuer does not
act as a cathartic nor will it of itself act
on the bowels but by its splendid tonic
qualities 1t builds up an impaired and dis
eased system and In that way adds tone
to the bowels so that they may properly
perform their functions ard restore the
kidneys to normal health.
Should immediate action as laxative
be desired use Germetuer Pills in con-
junction with DR.. Kings Royal Germe-
tuer. The most obstinate case of constipa-
ton and kindney trouble will respond to
this treatment. Read what Mr.. r. B.
Riddick, Coffeville, Miss, says:
Il had been afflicted for a long time
with a severe inflammation of the kidneys
and bladder. The pains suffered were in
tense, and my urine was very bloody. The
general health had given way, and my
nervous system was so shattered I could
hardly sleep. DIR. Kings Royal Germetuer
was recommended to me. tried it, and
less than half a dozen bottles cured me
completely. I am 50 years old, and for
more than a year-ever since took Ger

ever in my life. I give all the praise to
Germetuer, for am sure 1t saved my life.
