Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Don’t Know it. How To Find Out. Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a ^ sediment or set- TT ' tling indicates an V-s unhealthy condi- tion °f the kid- ' i J neys; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kid ney trouble; too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and blad der are out of order. What to Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extra ordinary effect of Swamp-ftoot is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won derful cures of the most distressing cases, if you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists in 50c. and $1. sizes. 1 You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful discovery and a book that tells more about it, both sent absolutely free by mail, address Dr. Kilmer & Home of Swamp-Root.

FOR YOUNG AND OLD THE WAYS IN WHICH HEALTH MAY BE FOUND. m Correct Diet, Exercise, Clothing and Habits—Harm Done to Women and Children by Neglect of Precautions. Everyone recognizes the power of diet in preserving health. Diet is much, but it is not all. It must he supplemented by a variety of other things. Among the most important of these is regularity of habits. I once heard a man who had made much of himself physically, after starting with a very poor natural equipment, say that lie attributed a great deal of his sound condition to the fixed periods at which lie took his food. “1 find it better,” lie said, “to break my fast at dinner time by a sandwich, when I cannot have a full meal, than to wait for an hour or two for my regular dinner. The stomach is a creature of habit and if you take liberties with it you are bound to make it uncomfortable soon er or later.” Another man of similar experience said later, in my hearing, that there was nothing worse for one than ir regular exercise. “These women who start out and walk seven miles in one afternoon and then take no more vig- ourous exercise for a week, do them selves more harm than good,” he de clared. “The regularity more than the amount of the exercise is what works benefit. 222 South Peoria St., Chicago, lu.., Oct. 7, 1902. Eight months ago I was so ill that 1 was compelled to lie or sit down nearly all the time. My stomach was so weak and upset that I could keep nothini? on it and I vomited frequently. I could not urinate without great pain and I coughed so much that my throat and lungs were raw and sore. The doctors pro nounced it Bright's disease and others sui 1 it was consumption. It mattered little to me what they called it and I had no de sire to live. A sister visited me from St. Louis and asked me if I had ever tried Wine of Cardui. I told her I had not and she bought a bottle. I believe that it saved my life. I believe many women could save much suffer ing if they but knew of its value. Don’t you want freedom from pain? Take Wine of Cardui and make one supreme effort to be well. You do not need to be a weak, helpless sufferer. You can have a woman’s health and do a woman's work in life. Why not secure a bottle of Wine of Cardui from your druggist to day? WIN^CARDUI The Up-To-Date Market.

No one can afford to get along without it. The man or woman who wishes to preserve health must not miss it, while the man or woman who desires to restore health must lie even more assiduous. The women who allow themselves to become run down must recuperate by other means than physics. Prominent among these stands rational exercise. It. matters comparatively little what form it takes, so that it is rational and is pursued steadily. One more qualification it must possess. It should be taken as much as possible, cut of doors, or at least in the fresh air. This is one of the drawbacks to such games as ping-pong, excellent as they are in other respects. They are played indoors, and usually in a closed room. Half as much time spent in the fresh air would be of twice as much value. Because of the growing appreciation of fresh air exercise among physi cians and students of hygiene every- where I am glad to see the returning and increasing interest in the bicycle, as testified to by public opinion and the advertising columns of the daily press and of other publications. Phy sicians tell us that, rightfully used, a wheel is one of the best friends of the grown or ungrown person who wishes to take outdoor exercise, be cause it not only gives play to the muscles of the body but furnishes to the rider the sense of doing some thing and getting somewhere. One of the discouraging features of exercise for exercise’s sake is that it must seem futile and dull to the busy woman or man who does everything else with some object in view. When a woman sweeps she is exercising, hut she is also accomplishing some thing. When she goes out, unless she lias an object for her w r alk she is generally tired by it. We read of English women walking three miles out on the turnpike and three miles in again in the laudable pursuit of exercise and we think with a superior thrill that au American woman would find some interesting way of winning I to the same end. But when we hear | of stout New York women who post so many times around the reservior in Central Park in the endeavour to reduce their flesh, we wonder if after all we are so much ahead of the Brit ons in enterprise and invention. When a woman is on a wheel it is a different thing. She is taking the air and exercising her muscles. But she is also getting somewhere—to pay a call, to do an errand, to make the acquaintance of a bit of road which had been too remote to explore on foot. A New England doctor has put himself on record by declaring among the advantages of the bicycle that “it interests people and keeps them out of doors, two very impor tant factors in a healthy, happy life.” Yet the woman makes a mistake if she takes a long run on her wheel one day and allows it to gather dust, unused, thereafter for a week or ten days. If she is to derive full advant age from her cycling she must make it an every day matter, weather per mitting. Not the amount, but the reg ularity—let me repeat it again. By this I do not mean that the day’s runs must always be of uniform length. They may be extended or contracted as seems advisable. But the unvarying habit of riding must be kept up and the body thus preserved in condition for work or play. This necessity for regular exercise ; is winning attention more and more. The whole problem of proper bodily development has of late years re-1 reived serious consideration, both by the medical fraternity and the laity. The popularity of the various systems of physical training is a good indica tion and many of these schools seem to have accomplished good. One of these that appeals to one peculiarly, by reason of its unusual breadth and value of its scope, is the American Institute of Physical Culture. This is a Boston enterprise and is en dorsed by men whose names stand for much in their respective lines. It is rather unusual in that the ethical side is made of paramount impor tance. Many women, young and old, would ! he materially benefltted in general health, pose of body, clearness of i complexion and keenness of mind by a course of moderate physical train ing under a guidance which gives | proper consideration to individual needs. It is this which is furnished ! by the Boston school, and by its well j arranged correspondence system the directors are able to keep in touch with their pupils all over the country. These teachers insist upon regular ity as a fundamental part of the phys ical training they direct. Similar regularity is essential so far as sleep is concerned for those who wish to keep their health. I do not mean by this that a fixed hour for re tiring must be immutable in the case of adults—although it is a pity they cannot submit themselves to some •mch standard. While the exigencies of life forbid this, they permit a rea- onuble amount of rule and precept •oncerning slumber. There are few women who cannot maintain a toler ably strict regimen so far as habits are concerned. The mothers of little children must resign themselves to ,roken nights, but the majority of wives and mothers and still more younger women, may have a fixed time for retiring and adhere to this with some degree of strictness. It is very well to al'ot "six hours of sleep to a man. seven to a woman and eight to a fool,” as the old proverb runs, but the so-called fool’s allow ance is none too much for the greater part of mankind and womankind. Besides this there are other health considerations to be borne in mind. Dress is among them. A well-known physician in an English medical jour nal has written recently against the evil of tight lacing, and has laid to this much of woman’s ill temper. The writer, who is a woman and evident ly knows whereof she speaks, tells of the compressed organs, the re stricted blood vessels, the hampered nerves, and declares it is no wonder that the average woman is irritable and impatient. It is said that there was never yet a woman who would confess to lacing tightly, but in con fidential conclave they will some times own that perhaps the laces are once in a while drawn more snugly than is altogether comfortable—al ways by accident, of course. Those who confess to this will probably ac knowledge to pains in the legs and back that hinder their activity of motion and make any brisk move- icnt or even standing, painful. All this should be abandoned by th< oman who would keep well. She ay wear a corset, hut it should not ily be of the right cut and be putoi roperly, but it should be worn loos< uougli to allow her freedom am void all danger of discomfort. Sometimes it seems as though : uecial Providence must watch ove 11 women in general and young w< len in particular, that they are stil COURT ORDERS DEED MADE. Vanderbilt Gets Land In Carolina by Court's Mandate. Asheville, N. C., April (1.—Negotia tions for the purchase of several thou sand acres of valuable lands adja cent to Asheville, conducted by Geo W. Vanderbilt’s agents for four years without the public knowing that Mr Vanderbilt was interested, have come to a sensational finish. G. W. K. Williams, a well known cit izen of this county, had given to R. U Tlarett, Vanderbilt’s agent, an option on a part of the coveted soil. The price named was $2,500. Later, whea offered the money, he refused to ac cept it, and wanted $50,000. Garetl carried the matter to court, and Wil liams was ordered to come forward sign and surrender the deed. His signature was the last of some 50( citizens required to give clear title ol the entire boundary. He paid no at tention to the order of court, refused to allow an officer to make service upon him, and threatened to injure him. Judge L/jtig had a capias instantei issued, and the sheriff brought in Wil liams. He still refused to sign the deed, and swore in open court that he would never sign it unless the $50, 000 was forthcoming. “Take him to jail,” said Judge Long of the superior court, “and Jet him re main until he changes his mind. Mean while. 1 will consider the amount ol fine I shall impose, in addition to im prison mem t.’ ’ After remaining in jail 24 hours through the pleading of his wife, he agrci d to obey the court, was broug'hl forth, signed the deed and received the $2,500.

The foolish things they do, the risks they run are enough to drive a mere man to despair. See the girls who go out insufficiently clad, who pride them selves on omitting heavy flannels from their wardrobes, who neglect overshoes, affect thin soles and do a multitude of other such idiotic things. Those errors alone should be enough to decimate their ranks, even if they did not eat things that are bad for them, ruin their teeth and their stomachs with sweets and in dulge in a host of other insane act ions. After they have grown old 1 enough to learn wisdom they may try to reform, but by that time they have usually laid the foundation for ill health or at least impaired their con stitutions to such an extent that they are never quite well, even if they do not enroll themselves among the inva lids. Perhaps the women of the rising generation will grasp the fact that they are not made of indestructible material and try to take care of them selves while they are still in fair con dition. For there is still hope if they will address themselves to the task of repairing damages and preventing further harm. This is not to he done by over dosing, but, to repeat the in- jiuiction already laid down, by correct food, dress and habits of sleep and by regular and well directed exercise in the open air.
