YOU NEED NOT SUFFER WITH
BACKACHE AND RHEUMATISM

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been a standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and
bladder are the most important organs of
the body. They ARE the filters, the puri-
fers of your blood. If the poisons which
enter your system through the blood and
stomach are not entirely thrown out by
the kidneys and bladder you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins, and lower abdo-
men, gall-stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, sciatica, lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules are
what you need.

The land is not supporting too

doing so. For, be 1t understood, the
men who manufacture and distribute

whisky. preys upon society, does not
work; he lives upon the work OF
others. The insane, the impoverished,
the delinquent and degenerate of many
classes-these, the victims of de-
moniacal traffic, do not work. Since
this is true, their neglect to toll at

A GOOD ARGUMENT FOR Ma
TIoNAL PROHIBITION.

tiONAL PhOf1lbl ION.
Mr.. Nathan w. Littlefed. head of
the Rhode Island Anti-SaIoon League,
presents forceful reason for nation
wide prohibition. IF all the inhabi-
tants Of all the states never went
abroad, but remained within their
respective boundaries" he says, there
might be little force In the argument
that the people of any state who desire
free rum should be left to stew in their
own folly and degradation.
But the American people travel
for business and pleasure from one
end Of the country to the other. Why.
should citizen of Denver, who sends
his family to Palm Beach or Narragan-
sett Pier lose the protection of the
just laws of his own state which shield
his sons and daughters from the perils
Of the saloon, the wine table and the
gilded gambling hall?
"The most powerful and effective
argument advanced in the congression-
al debates which preceded the adop-
ton Of the District of Columbia bill
and the rejection of the amendment
to submit the question to the people
Of the district, was that the district
belongs to the people of the whole
country; that 1t is inhabited by per-
sons from all parts of the country;
and therefore the question Of prohi-
bition for the district Is not a local,
but national question.
'yThe argument Is quite as applica-
BILE to New York, Chicago, Philadel-
phia and Boston and the two or three
other great cities Of the country as
1t Is to Washington. Nine-tenths of
all the saloons Of the country are To-
Gated in these cities. All the wet
territory OF the country could be put
into the state of Texas with plenty
Of room to spare. But the influence
and power of those cities for good or
evil peryades the whole country"

"The influence of caffeine is totally

PIG PEN ORDINANCE.

In discussing a proposed Pig pen
ordinance for Mobile, the Mobile
Register cites the opinion Of health
officers on this question and makes
the following comment:
"Objection to the proposed ordl-
nance to permit the keeping of hogs
and pigs by city residents is rein
forced by what the health authorities
say on the subject. Laymen are not
supposed to be very deeply Informed
upon sanitary matters and must look
to the experts for opinion and coun-
sci. The Register does not profess
to pass upon the proposed ordinance
but certainly has great respect for
the Judgment of the profession. The
city health officers say that 'pig pens
inside the city limits VIII be harm
full to the health OF the people Thee
president of the county board OF
health saws: My conviction is that
pig pens inside the city limits will De
menace to the good health OF the
people 1t seems to us therefore,
that Mr.. Crawford, who is the com
missioner in charge of sanitary law
enforcement, will. unless he knows
better than the officials here quoted,
make it his business to see that moth
ing is done that is harmful to the
health of Mobile. 1t is his duty TO
see that proposed ordinance does not
pass" .,
Pig pens permitted in thickly pop
ulated city might cost its inhabitants
many times the worth of all the hogs
permitted to be raised in such city
limits. The death of one person re,

young to qualify for governor, under
the constitutional provisions of the
state, and some of his over-enthuslas-
tic and misguided friends want to
have the constitution amended so that
q man less than thirty years Of age
can serve as governor. the real pur-
pose of course being to qualify Mr..
Connor. Now, The Record recOg
nizes in Mr.. Connor brilliant young
man and a worthy one and has not
word to say against him, but it is
foolish to think that there are not
plenty of other men in the state old
enough and thoroughly qualified to
| fill the position with distinction and
credit to the state. Any man young
er than so is too inexperienced to
properly fill the office of governor, no
mattre how much natural ability he
has, and the men who fixed the con-
stitution were wise enough to know
| this, and an effort to amend the con-
stitution to change it would be sure
to fail. Mr.. Connor has plenty of
time TO serve rs governor when he
gets old enough, if the people want
him. and certainly the people can
find a competent man who is old
enough to serve in this capacity, with
out resorting to any such foolish plan
as to change the constitution for the
