Kansas being forehanded. The Demo-
Gratis among them are already lining
up for the next United States sena-

until 1918. But the early birds in the

enormous that many economists are of
the opinion that it is fraught with
financial danger to society because
of the rapidity with which it will
grow. But this danger would seem to

that John d. Rockefeller, jr., already
has five sons and one daughter

FEW CHURCHES DIE THAT WAY
Colored Preacher Unlikely to Be
Called Upon to Fulfill Vow That
He Had Made.

The following story comes to US
from old Virginia:
A devout colored preacher, whose
heart was aglow with missionary zeal,
gave notice to his congregation that
in the evening an offertory would be
taken for missions and asked for lib
eral gifts. A selfish, well-to-do man
in the congregation said to him be-
fore the service: Yes gwine to kin
dis church eff yer goes on sayin' give!
No church can stan it. Yer gwine
ter kill it,"
After the sermon the colored minis
er said to the people: Brother
Jones told me l was gwine to kill
this church If | KEEP a-askin' fer to
give; but, my brethren, churches
doesn't die dat way. Eff anybody
knows of church that died cause it's
been givin' too much to de Lord. I'll
be very much obliged eff my brother
will tell me what church is, for Use
gwine to visit it, and I'll climb on de
walls of dat church, under de light

The Newest Discovery in Chemistry

"Anuric" manufactured by DR.. Pierce,
or even write DR.. Pierce for a large
trial package (10c). If you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble, send him q
sample of your water and describe
symptoms. DR.. Pierce's chemist will
examine it, then DR.. Pierce will report
to you without fee or charge.
NOTE. - "Anuric" is thirty-seveu
times more active than lithia in elimi-
mating uric acid, and is a harmless but
reliable chemical compound that may
be safely given to children, but should
be used only by grown-ups who actu-
ally wish to restore their kidneys to
perfect health, by conscientiously
using one box-or more in extreme
cases-as "Anuric" thanks to Doctor
Pierce's achievement) is by far the

BLANCHE WALSH is DEAD
Great Actress Had Been On Stage for
More Than Twenty Years.

Cleveland, O.-Blanche Walsh, the
actress, died Sunday night in hospi-
tai, where she was taken two weeks
ago for an illness which required an
operation.
Miss Walsh's refusal to disappoint
an audience caused relapse, from
which she died. After she went under
the knife, she insisted on keeping an
engagement at Youngstown, o., where
she collapsed and was brought back
to the hospital here.
In private life she was Mrs. William
H. Travers.
Blanche Walsh was born in New
York city, January 4, 1873, the daugh-
ter OF Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Walsh.
Her father at that time was a locally
we'll known politician of the old sixth
ward. He was once warden of the
Tombs prison. She had been on the
American stage for more than twenty
years.

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no

The same standard of purity, strength

Swamp-Root is scientifically compounded
from vegetable herbs.
1t is not a stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
It is not recommended for everything.

HERMAN RIDDER
dies IN new YORK
AMONG MOST PROMINENT AMER
IcANS OF GERMAN
BIRTH.
EDITOR OF STATS ZEITUNG
Distinguished Figure in Newspaper
And Political World-Was Treas
urer of The Associated
Press.

New York-Herman Ridder, presi-
dent and principal owner of the New
Yorker Stats Zeitung and leader OF
German publicists in the United
States, died at his home here shortly
after 4 o'clock Monday afternoon in
his 65th year, after suffering for al
most year from Bright's disease.
During the past two weeks Mr.. Rid
der's condition had been such that his
death was expected at any time.
Mrs. Ridder, who was a sister or
the late Justice Amend, of the SUI
preme court, was with her husband
when he died. At the bedside also
were Mr.. Riders three sons, Victor
F., Bernard H., and Joseph E. Rider
and Mr.. Riders brother, Henry.
Among a large number of prominent
German-American citizens of the Uni
ted States, Herman Ridder was one or
the most conspicuous figures in the
newspaper publishing business and IN
politics. His associates in the pub
fishing business had honored him at
one time with the presidency of the
American Newspaper Publishers asso-
citation and for many years he held
high offices in the Associated Press as
treasurer and a director.
In politics he was such a factor
that he was talked of at the national
Democratic convention at Denver in
1908 as a possible nominee for vice
president. He also was discussed later
as a likely selection for ambassador
to Germany.
Following the nomination OF Bryan
at the 1908 convention, after former
Governor Charles n. Haskell of Okla
homa, had resigned as treasurer of
the national Democratic committee
because of his utilization with Stand
ard Oil interests, Mr.. Ridder was
chosen as treasurer and, in his own
name and those Of his brothers he
contributed $4,000, the largest single
contribution to the Bryan campaign.
Mr.. Ridder was owner and editor
of the New Yorker Stats Zeitung, one
of the foremost German newspapers
in the United States, and through this
he was particularly conspicuous re-
Gently in his ardent defense of the
German position in the European war.
