Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy KUneys Make Impure Blood.
All the b’ood in your body passes through
your kidn '.ys or.ce every three minutes.
The kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
/ of order, they fail to do
\ their work.
Pains, aches and rheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney U\.i;ble.
Kidney ♦rouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney-
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1; used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but row modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraorainary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on Its merits

A LADY of whom I know is no.ed
amoriK her acquaintances for
beiuK a terrific talker. No 4
one moment of her wakii
hours is that clacking tongue sii...
It is certain that she talks to herself]
when she is alone, for she has been
overheard many a time. It is also
probable that she talks in her sleep.
Well, this lady went for a day’s jour
ney with another woman. When she
returned she assured her family she
had had “not a bit good time’’ because
the other woman had talked her nearly
to death. She did uot get a chance to
put a word in edgeways, she said, and
she was just worn out with that in
cessant gab. Whereupon the family
smiled, and one niece slid off by tier-
self in a corner and roared. “The idea
of anything but a phonograph being
able to talk Amt Harriet down!” said
she. Atid. spet.tiAg of incessant gab
blers. did it ever occur to you that
many persons employ quite four times
as much talk ns is really required to
express themselves and to impress
themselves on others? The great talker
is Invariably a shallow, flighty person.
Her memory' is poor. She forgets what
she ought to remember, she get* tan
gled If* her statements, and no wonder.
She does not still her tongue long
enough to digest any thought In her
mind or to wholly take in any fact.
Wherever she sees two or more people
together, or liears others talking, up she
comes, pushes herself in and shoots off
her opinions, right or wrong. The si
lent person is the one that wins. She
conserves her thought and manifests
a fine, dignified reserve concerning the
private affairs of herself and others
She does not waste her nerve sub
stance In vocal froth. When she does
ipen her mouth to speak, two words of
hors are more effective than half a
lay’s gabble of the talking woman.
•t *
Women are in general far too bidda
ble. Let each develop for herself
thinking power and will and be an in
dividual. I sometimes doubt whether
a woman who never thinks, reasons or
wills for herself, but is the mere echo
of others, has any immortal soul.

Professor Margaret E. Maltby Is so
learned that she is professor of physics
in Columbia university. New York. Yet
women students are not allowed in her
classes; only men. The girl students
must stick to the instructors appointed
for them in Barnard college, the wom
en’s annex of the university. The su
perstitions of the sex question cause
mankind to cut strange caper*.

A lady I know 1ms started a club of
one. It is the Speak No Evil club; its
object, to say no word condemnatory of
any human being. When she says any
thing at all of an acquaintance it Is
something favorable. She looks for
the good in everybody and always finds
It, on the principle that we find what
we look for. You have no idea how
popular this woman Is.
It M
It is selfish to dress always In for
lorn, terrible black. Those who do It
forget about Its depressing effect on
the nerves and spirits of otlffers, es
pecially those who live in the same
house with them. Even In mourning
apparel it is possible to lighten up the
melancholy, dreary effect by touches
of white here and there. Dead black
garments constantly worn Inevitably
lower both the mental and physical
tone not only of the wearers them
selves, but of those who dally see them.
They may not know It, but the fact la
undeniable. There is enough of gloom
In this life that we cannot get away
from without gratuitously adding to It

Sometimes a woman has a little bit
of an Income, enough to half feed and
clothe hersdlf on. All over this land,
even in Alaska and in Canada, are
openings for such women to earn a
generous living and something more.
They are in the country, and they are
to be found in the vast undeveloped
industrial fields of farming, fruit and
flower culture, bee keeping, chicken
raising and dairying. Too much can
hardly be said In this direction. The
population of the Union Is Increasing so
fast that home production will soon be
unable to keep up with home consump-
tion. There are country towns where
-ggs are 30 cents a dozen this minute,
ind the supply is short.

The present Is a time of outrageous
overdressing among women. Never
since the American nation began have
Its women been so extravagant in their
costuming. It is mostly the tradespeo
ple and the men dressmakers who have
forced this era of extravagance. There
will have to come a reaction from it
back to the simplicity of good taste,

It is said that a French architect has

London fashionable society has the
reputation of having in Its ranks one

BUZ A ARCHARD CONNER.
GIRL SLAVES IN ALASKA.
Prini-lpnl of 'ferrllorlal ScIiooIm Telia
ok Traffic.
Slavery still er.l.sts under the Ameri
can flag, according to a communication
made to the interior department at
Washington by William A. Davis, prin
cipal jf the United States public
schools at Unalaska, Alaska, says the
” v V. k Times. He charges that in
: t i nk y little Aleutian girls are
sold to wmi to do families as slaves.
They are used as household drudges
and are not educated nor permitted to
associate with free children.
“While canvassing this village for
scholars a few days since.” says Mr.
Davis, “1 found a number of families
holding Aleut children as slaves. In
quiry developed the fact that it has
been the custom from time immemo
rial to make slaves of poor children,
especially girls, and that the custom
still prevails not only here, but in other
portions of the country.
“A German, whose wife is a Rus
sian creole, has a slave girl nine years
old; a Russian creole, whose wife is a
native, has a slave girl fourteen years
old; a Scotchman, whose wife is a na
tive, lias two little slave girls about
seven and eight years old respectively;
a Russian priest has a slave girl twelve
or thirteen years old, and others whose
names I did not learn also have slaves.
“They are made to do all the drudg
ery and dirty work of the families, are
not allowed to attend school or associ
ate with free children, are poorly cloth
ed and fed and are treated generally as
slaves.
“I am much distressed over the con
dition of these silent, uncomplaining
little ones.” says Mr. Davis, “so help
less, sad and hungry looking, and I
have been thinking that if the facts
were known maybe article 13 of the
amendments to the constitution of the
United States could be made to reach
them and save them from lives of
shame and degradation.”
ALL HAIL THE COW.
Eloquent Trlbntea to Great Foster
Mother of the Homan Race.
The cow was the subject of enthusi
asm at the New York state dairymen’s
convention held in Ogdensburg. In hia
address of welcome Mayor Hall declar
ed that butter and cheese are the con
trolling powers of the universe. All the
speakers following Mr. Hall paid trib
ute to the dairy, and ex-Governor W.
D. Hoard of Wisconsin wound up the
day’s programme with an apotheosis
of the cow.
Said he: “To preach the gospel ac
cording to the cow is no small matter.
Every man must be educated to under
stand so far as he can the great pro
ducer of the country’, the cow, than
which there is no deeper constructive
mystery. The cow is the great foster
mother of half the human race, and
she should be approached reverently,
lovingly, with a tender heart and a
sympathetic mind.”
He spoke eloquently on the maternity
of the cow and compared her to the
human mother. He begged his audi
tors to have greater respect for the cow
and to give her more careful treatment,
placing on one plane manhood, woman
hood, cow hood.
AID FROM ROCKEFELLER.
Oil Kina Paid Off Mortiraire on Farm
of Boyhood Playmate.
John D. Rockefeller has paid off the
mortgage on the little Nebraska farm
of Charles Austin, a boyhood friend,
vdbom he has not seen for many years,
says a Sioux City (la.) dispatch.
Mr. Austin lives near Dakota City
on a little place on which was a mort
gage of several hundred dollars. The
fruit crop by which he lived has been
a failure for two years, and he was in
hard straits. As a boy he was a play
mate of Rockefeller, but as young men
they drifted apart, and when Austin
learned of tha financial standing of his
old friend he wrote him a letter of
congratulation. Since then they have
exchanged one or two letters annually.
Several years ago Mr. Rockefeller’s
friendship was the means of giving po
sitions to Austin’s two sons In the
Standard Oil employ at Sioux City.
This year Mr. Rockefeller, learning of
Austin’s misfortunes, paid the mort
gage. Mr. Austin says he knew noth
ing of it till notified by the recorder’s
office that It hud been paid.
Novel Jangle Fnahlon.
According to the Electrical World,
telegraph wire belts have recently been
added to the costume of fashionable
east African belles. The telegraph au
thorities discovered the new fashion.
They found great difficulty In main
taining lines through the forests. One
of their society reporters, technically
known as a lineman, while “covering”
a native lawn fete in the jungle noted
the new fashion and upon questioning
some of the social leaders was inform
ed that it was the custom for the young
men to present their partners with
these belts as trophies. Now the com
pany has made the tribal chiefs re
sponsible for the telegraph lines in
their territory, and the young chiefs
have to buy the belts at so much per
pound.

dynamite seemed the most wonderful
of all inventions.
“Why dynamite?” asked one of the
men.
“Because there’s nothing in the work':
that can hold a candie to it.”

RYDALE’S TONIC Tax Returns for 1901
A REAL CURE FOR
It has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria, breed
and multiply in the intestines and from
there spread throughout the system
by means of the blood. This fact ex
plains why Malaria is hard to cure by
the old method of treatment. Quinine,
Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood, but do not destroy
the germs that cause the disease.
Rydale’s Tonic has a specific effect
upon the intestines and bowels, freeing
them from all disease breeding mi
crobes. It also kills the germs that
infest the veins and arteries. It drives
from the blood all poisonous matter
and makes it rich and healthy.
RYDALE’S TONIC is a blood
builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria
destroyer. Try it, it will not disap
point you.
