HIDDEN DANGEBS. Nature Gives Timely Warnings That No Orangeburg . Citizen Can *^ Afford to Ignore. DANGER SIGNAL. NO. 1 CQjnes from the kidney secretions. They will warn you when the kidneys are sick. Well kidneys excrete a clear, amber fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin, pale .and foamy, or a thick red, ill-smelling urine, full of sedi ment and irregular of passage. DANGER /SIGNAL NO. 2 comes from the back. Back pains, dull and j heavy, or sharp and acute tell you of sick kidneys and warn you of the - approach of dropsy, diabetes and Bright's disease. Doan's , Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them permanently. v E. Starton, well known in Flor ence, S. C, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills helped my back after every thing else had failed, and after I had thought that my back was worn out. They made it stronger than it had been for five or six years and seemed to put a new backbone in me. I have had a terrible time with back ache which was greatly aggravated by my work and at times I had to lay off for''I could not work on ac count of the acute pains across my loins. I could not begin to toM you all I have suffered. The secrei.-ous from' ray kidneys also bothered me, were very dark in color and con tained sediment, being also too fre quent in action and ? annoying me during the day and preventing my resting well at nights. I applied plasters and rubbed my back with liniments but nothing helped me un ; ? en ' frequently suffer great pain and misery during the change of life. It is at this time that the beneficial effect of taking Cardui is most appreciated, by those ! who find that it relieves their distress. It Will Help . You Jas Mrs. Lucinda C. Hill, of Freeland, 0., writes: "Before I began to take Cardui, I suffered so badly I was afraid to lie down at night. After I began to take it I felt better in a week. Now my pains have gone. I can sleep like a girl of 16 and the change of life has nearly left me." Try Cardui AT ALL DRUG STORES J THE PEOPLE^ BA r^K OR-^V^MGJE BURG, S. C. "A Bank For All The People."

The horseless age that has been so persistently predicted is not merely slow in coming; the facts seem to in dicate that it is farther away than ever and perhaps may never cpme. People must be riding a great deal more than they ever rode before. The automobile industry in this' country has quadrupled In value In the last three years and has devel oped at even a greater rate in the number, of machines manufactured. But the statistics of horseflesh keep on expanding. There were more than fourteen million horses In this country in 1897, but according to the figures for the year just closed there are 19,746,000 horses in the United States at the present time. This is a gain of nearly 40 percent, in a decade, a much larger one than the human element can show in spite of our large and continuous importa tions. As mechanical rivals multi ply he rises in the scale of dignified personality. The last horse will probably lake his leave at about the same time as the last man.-i-Boston Transcript. Squeaky Si iocs in Demand. '? Small. automatic pumps, very in geniously contrived, spirited air In Detween the layers of the soles of each finished pair of shoes. "That beats me,'? said the visitor. "I never, saw air put in shoe soles before. Pneumatic like that, are they very springy?" "No, they're noisy," answered the foreman of the Lynn factory. "These shoes are for the export trade. They go to Africa. A native African judges the white mans shoes by their squeak. The louder the squeak, the finer the article. In fact, the native won't wear a non squeaking, silent shoe. It is wind between the soles that make shoes squeak. Put in- enough- and your footgear will be as noisy as two pigs under a fence." A Flreles3 House.

"Do you know how to tell a hard wood tree from a soft wood tree?" said a forester. "I'll tell you how to do it, and the rule holds good not only here among our familiar pines and walnuts, but in the Antipodes, among the strangest banyans, bao babs and what-nots. Soft wood trees have needle leaves, slim, narrow, al most uniform in breadth. If you don't believe me, consult the pine, the spruce or the fir. Hard wood trees nave broad leaves of various shape?the oak, the ebony, the wal nut, the mahogany and so on." Every Bird a Weathercock. "Where's the wind?" scoffed the sailor. "Why, look atj the birds? they'll tell you. Don't you know that every bird's a weathercock? Stop moistenlm your finger and holdin' It up," he went on, In a tone of disgust. "The practice ain't hardly cleanly. Look \ at the birds is all you got to do, for ewry bird sets with" its head always straight at the wind. Every live bird in a tree is as reliable a weathercock as them dead birds on the spires what is so much considered in this here Lenten season.' > Why Go to Bed? It seems to me we make a mistake in prescribing special hours for go ing o bed and getting up. Why should we thus gorgt. ourseives with r.lumber? Why should we not fol low the example of the dog and take an occasional nap when we have noth ing better to do? Why should we go to bed when we don't feel sleepy?

Destroys Microbes of Disease?Ef fect Upon Disagreeable Odors. The custom of burning sugar in a dekroom is very current among all ?lnsses In France, but up to the present has been regarded by scien tists as one of those harmless and iseless practices which are rather olerated than insisted upon by the nedical profession. But M. Trillat of the Pasteur Institute now assures us that formic aldehyde Is given off by burning sugar and Is one of the no3t antiseptic gases known. Five grains of sugar having been burned uuder a ten liter bell glass, the vap or was alloyed to cool. Vials con taining tne baccilli of typhoid, tuber culosis, carbon, &c, were then in troduced. Within half an hour every microbe had succumbed. Ag;ain, if sugar be burned In a closed ves sel containing rotten eggs or'putrid meat, the disagreeable smell disap pears. M. Trillat affirms that the formic aldehyde combines with the gases given off by the putrid animal matter and renders them inodorous. ?Practical Druggist. Murket for Old Horse Shoes. Old horseshoes find a ready mar ket in China. One steamer alone brought 300 tons of this iron from Hamburg. Chinese iron dealers buy the horseshoes and sell them to knife and tool manufacturers all over the province of Shantung. It is claim ed by the Chinese that the temper of this class of iron makes it the best obtainable for knives and cutlery and also good for other tools. The rea son ascribed for this is that, the con stant beating the shoes have received under the feet of horses has given them a peculiar temper absolutely unobtainable in any other way, and that tools made from them are su perior to all others. Petroleum Butter. One of the very late by-products o'f petroleum is butter. It is far superior to most of the cheap so-call ed butter that Is sold in corner groc eries, and a good deal better than oleomargarine. I had the experience of eating some the other day with out knowing what it was and thought it was excellent. I assume it is vaseline prepared in a buttery way. Nothing simpler or easier. What next?

As a matter of fact, It is Just a hundred years since a paper manufacturer of Brighton named Brewes invented envelopes for letters in their preseut form. Even then It was some considerable time before their use became at all general, not, In fact, until somwhere in the year LS50. Before this date, (as many who are living now will remember) a letter, written only on one side, was folded in two, then in three, sealed with a wafer or sealing wax, and addressed on one of the blank sides.?The Gaulois.

CORES ?SKIN DISEASES There is an evaporation from the body going on continually, day and night, through the pores and glands of the skin. This is nature's way of maintaining the proper temperature of our systems and preserving the soft ness and flexibility of the skin, and so long as the blood is free from impur ities no trouble will result. When, however, the blood from any cause becomes infected with humors and acids, these too must be er.pelled, and coming in contact with the delicate fibres and tissues with which the skin is so'abundantly supplied they produce irritation and inflammation, and the effect is shown by Eczema, Acne, Tetter, and skin affections of varioas kinds. These impurities and humors get into the blood through a deranged or inactive condition of the system; the members whose duty it is to carry off the waste and refuse matter of the body fail to properly perform their work, and this impure, fermefiting matter is left in the system to be absorbed by, the blood. The skin is not only affected by poisons generated within tfcef system, but poisons from without, I have used your S. S. S., spring and fah, for the past two years, with the result that it entirely relieved me of a form of Eczema which my doctor was unable to cure. Sly arms, lower limbs, and, in fact, the biggest portion of my whole body was affected, and when I first began S. S. S. the itching, etc, was worse, but I continued the Remedy with the result that the dry, itching eruption en tirely disappeared. I think a great deal of your medicine, and have recommended it to others with good results. It i* the best blood medicine made, and I can conscientiously recommend it for the cure of all blood and skin affections. CHAS. HORSTMArt. Wheeling, W.

Salves, washes, lotions, etc., cannot cure skin diseases. True, such treatment re lieves some.of the itching and dis comfort, and aids in keeping the skin clean, but it does not reach the real cause, and at best can be only palli ating and soothing. A thorough cleansing of the blood is the o'nlj' certain cure for skin diseases. S. S. S.? a gentle acting, safe blood purifier, made entirely of vegetable ingredients of the forest and field, is the proper treatment. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation, and neutralizes the acids and humors, thoroughly cleansing and purifying the biood, and curing skin affections of every kind. It supplies to the blood the fresh, nutritive qualities necessary to sustain the skin and all other parts of the body, and rids the blood of any and all poisons. S. S.
