: Jeddah is most important town for

is buried Eve. The reputed mother of

A DIVINE COVENANT.

God Almighty gave Eve to Adam
with the pledge that she would be his
helpmeet and with this order of COM
partnership. civilization has lowered
to its greatest heights. In this rela-
tionship, God has blessed woman and
man has honored her and after four
thousand years of progress, she now
proposes to provoke God to decoy
man by asking for suffrage, thereby
by amending an agreement to which
she was not a party.
Woman, remember that the lsraelite
scorned a divine covenant, and as q
result wandered forty years In the
wilderness without God. Likewise
man should remember that It Is a
dangerous thing to debase woman by
law. Rome tried lowering woman's
standard and an outraged civilization
tore the clothes off the backs of the
human race and turned them out to
roam in the world naked and un-
ashamed.

Pains and Aches
Caused by Kidneys

Many women attribute ailments
and suffering to some disease pecu-
liar to their sex, when often the
pain and misery is caused by weak
or deranged kidneys. Housework.
office work or factory work may
start the trouble, and dizzy spells.
puftiness under eyes, sore muscles,
stiff joints discolored or scanty urine,
sleep disturbing bladder ailments,
rheumatism or diabetes may result.
When the kidneys are strong and
healthy they filter out from the blood
the poisonous waste matter. Q When
they are sluggish or overworked they
need a medicine to clean them out
and invigorate action. Foley Kidney
Pills are prepared expressly for the
purpose of dissolving all poisonous
substances and uric acid that lodge
in the joints and muscles and to
cleanse and strengthen stopped-up,
inactive kidneys.@ Thousands of men
and women in all parts of the county
testify to the wonderfully satisfac.
tory results they have had from tax,

TAINTED POLITICS
BY Peter Radford.

This country is suffering more from
tainted politics than from any other
malady at the present time. There is
scarcely campaign speech made.
platform demand written or a mea-
sure enacted into law that does not
carry the faint of personal gain Of
some politician or political faction
thereof
There is more blue sky" in cam
paign promises Of many politicians
running for Office than was ever con-
tanned in the prospectuses Of the bold.
est promoters of chimerical business
schemes. There are more secret COM
binations formed by politicians In the
name of my Country" than were ever
formed under any and all other
aliases. There are more political re-
bates hidden In the phrase BE 1t en-
acted" than were ever concealed IN
der any and all other DISCUSSES.
The inordinate thirst for political
power and unrestrained passion for
mastery has caused more distress In
this nation than the greed for gold,
and it ought to be regulated by law.
No business combination ever pursued
their competitors as relentlessly or
visited more heartless cruelty upon
their customers than political party
that seeks to make junk of an in
dustry, or cripple business for party
success, through tariff measures. pc.
litical supervision and ofttimes de-
structive legislation. Many political
platforms are as alluring to the voter
as the story Of the rainbow with its
pot of gold and their contamination
about as far-fetched. Self-gain is the
first law in politics There are many
men in office today who, If they
could not shake plums off the tree OF
American liberty or cut a melon taken
from Uncle Sans commissary, would
have less desire to serve the public.
The country is surfeiting with patri-
OTIS, who will bare their breast to bull
lets in defense of their country, but
there are few men in public life who
will bare their breast to voters or run
the gauntlet of party disfavor In de-
Tense of agriculture or industry. No
representative of the people, who will
permit personal prejudice to dethrone
justice, party success to disfranchise
reason or the rancor Of political
campaign to influence judgment can
render capable service.
The preservation Of our prosperity
depends upon wisdom, courage and
honesty in government. and the Amer.
lean voter should seek these attn-
butes as implicitly as the Wise Men
followed the Star of Bethlehem and
they will often be found to rest over
the stable; the pillow or the star Of
the Shepherd. The surest cure for
tainted politics and machine rule Is
fresh air and sunshine and these i'm
portant elements are most abundant
upon the farm, and when farmers,
bankers and merchants are elected to
membership in legislative bodies. much
of the trouble in government will dis
appear.

Fraud Paint

The worst mistake one is likely to
make in painting is wrong paint; it is
easy to make.
We all say ours is the best; and
there are 1000 of us. One is best;
but dozen are so near on level
that no one knows, for sure, that his
is the one.
The worst paints are worst liars.
they know what they are, put-on a
bold face, and brazen it out.
Their one true argument is low
price; but low-prlce paint is always,
must be, fraud; it is made to cheat
cheatable people.

NATERED SECURITIES
BY Peter Radford.

Much has been said and more writ.
ten about the evils of watered stock In
big business concerns and the farm
ers of this nation believe that every
dollar written into the life OF any
business organization, should be able
to say II know that my Redeemer
liveth," but farming Is the biggest
business on earth, and there is more
water in its financial transaction than
that of any other industry, There Is
as much water In a farmers note
drawing eight or ten per cent interest
when other lines of industry secure
money for four or five per cent per
annum, as there Is In business pay
ing reasonable compensation upon
the face value of securities repre-
senting an investment OF only fifty
cents on the dollar. The only diff
ference is, the water Is In the interest
rate in one instance and In the secur-
tiles in the other.
The promoter ofttimes takes chances
and his success is contingent upon
the development of the property in
volved but the usurer, as a rule, takes
no chances and his success cripples
the property involved. There may be
industries that cry louder but none
that suffer more severely from finan-
cial immortality in both law and Gus
tom than that of agriculture.
The farmers of America today are
paying $200,O00,000 per annum In
usury on real estate and chattel
loans, and this interest capitalized
at five per cent, represents $4,000, 000,-
900 Of fictitious values which the farm
er is paying interest on. This sum OF
money is almost equal to the annual
value of crops produced in the United
States.
The earning power Of the farmers
note based upon his interest rate very
nearly divides likes the earth's sur
ace-three-fourths water and one
fourth land. The largest body Of wa
ter that floats upon the financial hem
isphere now rests upon the farms
and its waves are dashing and its
pillows are rolling against seven mil
lion homes threatening ruin and dis
aster to the prosperity Of the nation.

stand now to drain the liquid off in.

show would be held here. He thought
1t would also be a good idea for the

there was town not far from Man

did not care to take that step. Mr..
Deets said the state legislature should
be asked to come and attend at
