tect the Approach Of Kidney
Disease

The symptoms of kidney trouble
are many. Disordered kidneys often
excrete thick cloudy, offensive
urine, full of sediment, irregular of
passage or attended by sensation
Of scalding. The back may ache,
headaches and dizzy spells may oc.
cur and the victim is often weighted
down by a feeling Of languor and
fatigue. Neglect these warnings and
there Is danger. Delay often proves
fatal.

kidney remedy than Doan's Kidney

THE PROBLEMS OF
RETAIL TRADE

A merchant on being asked what
he considered the greatest difficulty
in retail trade remarked that he
thought it was the lack of the spirit
Of unity among the merchants. He
felt that they did not take competi-
ton in the right spirit. II they
found themselves undersold by a CON-
petitor, they conceived n crouch
against the man that underbid them.
They called him a cut throat, would
scarcely speak to him on the street
and would not work with him for the
general upbuilding Of the town.
No man who is fit to serve the pub
lie through retail trade ought to fret
at healthy competition. A little
rivalry spurs a man to do his best.
No man who has good grip of his
calling complains about 1t. He looks
at it as a part of his training. Every
time that he is worsted in a fair
competition, he feels that something
has been added to his business edu.
cation by which he will profit next
time.
If he finds himself undersold, let
him study the costs of his business,
the problem of getting new trade and
OF buying right, instead OF complain
ing at the activity of competitor.
Then he will be able to build up his
own lines of trade secure from COM
petition. When a merchant gets sore
on his competitors, it is sign that
he is playing losing game,
While competition is healthful. II
can OF course be overdone. If goods
are sold too close, the trade of a
town tends to be cut up into a big
number Of little stores, none of them
big enough to do business cheaply
or serve the public efficiently.
Business men will find they can
head off unfair competition best by
cultivating the friendship of each
other. Let them discuss what should
be the prices In standard lines and
make more effort to establish basis
for mutual cooperation and good ma.
tured competition.

LESS WAR TALK.

Taken by and large, there is less war talk in the papers and by the people than earlier in our contro- versies with European powers. The people have even come to thorough ly understand that breaking off diplomatic relations" is not war, and if this step ever were necassary, they would not be panic-stricken.
 As President Wilson said early in the controversies, he found the Amer jean people in a peculiar frame of mind. They wanted the rights of Americans upheld, but at the. same time wanted no war, or anything done that would lead up to war.
 Even Lord Northcliffs, the, most vitriolic exponent of fire-eating ia England, says it would be calamity fer the United States to join in the war.

Of especial interest in Jefferson county was the supreme court de- c,sion Monday to the effect that a county judge has the right to employ *xpert accountants to examine the books of the county officers. Be. cause the statutes provide that the accounts of the officers shall be ex- smined by a commission of accounts appointed by the circuit court there has been a question whether the county courts had the power to en'- ploy auditors or accountants for the work.

TALKS ON THRIFT.
Thrift in the Home.

Thrift is good management, and nowhere is good management more manifest than in the home. You can soon tell what manner of housekeepel the wife is, for the impress of her ideals is on every hand. She can waste all the husband earns, or she can save the major part.
 Housekeeping is the most complicat- ed work in the world, and she who can keep a house we'll is good busi- ness woman. She can make her work drudgery or she can make it pleas ure. Men fail in business and the world knows it; but how many home failures there are of which the world never hears!
 It is easy to detect the woman who fails, as a housekeeper.s If you,ssee the dishes unwashed, the children un- kempt, clothes strung alll over the house, the bath filtered, the corners dirty, and general air of neglect, you may depend upon it she has fail ed as a business housekeeper. She does not know how.

THE LYNCHING OF HATFIELD.

THE LYNCH1NG OF MAYFIELD' Jurors who fail to do their duty
 are sometimes responsible for mob violence. Such an instance, we be- Msue, was that reported Yesterday
 morning from New Boston, Texas, where outraged citizens took Will
 Mayfield from the jail and hanged hIm to tree. 1Mayfield, about 50 years of age, was accused Of the murder of his aged parents and a brother. The tlree were killed with an axe, their
 heads being split.
 | Except that the act was that of an insane man, the attorneys for the accused offered no defense.
 The jurors debated three days, but could not agree on the punishment.
 They seemed to be of one mind, as to tLe guilt of the accused, but two held
 out for life Imprisonment, while ten fcvored the death penalty. No man who was averse to inflicting the death penalty should have accepted
 place on the jury Monday nights action by an outraged citizenship might have been expected.

THE RAT PROBLEM OF CITIES.

The. connection between rats and p,ague has led to the accumulation cf information regarding the ire cheney of their association with human habitations, as we'll as their
 destructiveness. Studies have been made which, throw light on the ques- ton of the number of parasites which have been permitted through care lessness to exist in the immediate reighborhood of man. Until these comparatively recent tvestigations, Scarcely any one would have believed iltw large a number of rodents find a means of livelihood for themselves in SqNr Scities and towns, especially th6se which have series of docks and wharves. A special report of L;ague eradication work at New Orleanns, made by the surgeon in charge of the, United States Public Health Service work at that point, contains rather startling Illuminating facts concerning those parasites.
 The tctal number of rodents cap tared up to November 13 of the past year runs up to 497,9SS. Some idea q the immense labor and the meticu- luus care required for thoroughness in sanity work may be gathered from the fact that over 100000 of these rodents had been examined up to the same date, and though altogether only 265 cases of rodent plague were discovered, it is easy to understand taow much of danger for the dis semination of the disease these these animals were. Until the actual report, it would have been almost im- possible to believe that city like New Orleans. with its half million rodents, actually harbored a larger population of rats and mice than it did of human beings.
 New orleans is probably no worse in this regard than most of the coast cities of the southern part of the country, at least, and it is probable that as careful hunt for the creatures would reveal their presence in proportionate numbers even in many of the towns of the interior. It is scarcely necessary to call atten- ton to the fact that this immensl number of parasites, which so often get at food materials, constitute g distinct danger not alone as regards plague. through their direct connec. tion with human disease has been traced only with this great scourge
 IL is almost needless to say, ltoo
 that when existing in such immenss numbers they are eminently destruc tive directly and indirectly. and rep resent one factor in the waste of foot materials which makes for want il thls country and is adding to the higs cost of living. Undoubtedly what f. taken to feed these rodents, or wha l il. thrown out and serves them fo Isustenanoe, would keep from sertou want many human family that feel
