Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
\
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
and cheerfulness soon i
disappear when the kid
neys are out cl order
' or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
for a child to be born
1 afflicted with weak kid
neys. If the child urin
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.

Gaffney, S. C.
Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. G.—In this
sermon the preacher takes for bis
theme the hidden voices that call men
to evil courses and brutish Indulgence
and those that call us to higher, nobler
and better living. The text Is Ecclesi
astes x, 20, “For a bird of the air shall
carry the voice, and that which hath
wings shall tell the matter.”
Ever since my boyhood days, when
John Brown Introduced me to “Rab
and His Friends,” animal stories have
had for me a complete fascination.
Seton Thompson's “Lives of the Hunt
ed,” his “Wild Animals That I Have
Known,” his "Biography of a Grizzly”
and his “Trail of a Fanhlll Stag,” Rud-
yard Kipling’s “Jungle Tales,” Mar
shall Saunders’ “Beautiful Joe” and
Miss Anna Sewell’s “Black Beauty”
offer the widest range for the Imagi
native writer and the greatest oppor
tunities for pressing home moral
truths. But, though many books have
been and are being written whose he
roes and heroines are eovered with the
shaggy manes of the wild beasts or
with the glossy coats of the domestic
animals, by far the most interesting
animal story I have ever read is Jack
London’s “Call of the Wild.” Mr. Lon
don was a very’ young man when be
wrote ills masterpiece, yet that story
has found an almost universal appro
bation. There are always many voices
calling us down to sin and back to an
cestral evils.
This sentiment stirred my heart
when I first read the book. I was In
r railroad car when "The Call of the
Wild” was placed In my hand. Day
after day we bud been traveling across
the western prairies. I had finished
all the books in my satchel when a
gentleman crossed the aisle and said:
“Here Is a little story; read It” I
read It through in a very short time.
But as I traced Jack Loudon’s mighty
Kt. Bernard dog from being a pet of
a California millionaire’s borne until it
became a wild beast amid the snow’s
of the far north, leading on a pack of
hungry wolves, I asked myself tills
other question: “Why Is there not ‘A
Call of the Good’ as well as 'A Call
of the Bad?’ Why do we not
innumerable voices which
scribed by Ecclesiastes as eve
around us calling us to cease asso
ciating with human wolves and de
structive wild beasts as well as those
that are calling us to -let loose our
lower and viler natures?” As I sat in
that car, with the Arizona deserts slip
ping away underneath our wheels, I
said to myself: “Yes, there is ‘A Call
of the Good.’ It is even a better theme
for a story than ‘The Cull of the Wild.’
May God help me to teach the glorious
lesson that there are many voices
about us, which are culling us up to
his love, Instead of calling us down to
Christ’s condemnation.
“The Call of the Good,” In the first
place, Is spoken by the lips of our an
cestors, who have been fifty years,
seventy-five, a hundred—aye, perhaps
lot) years dead. It comes to us from
forgotten graves, unmarked by tomb
stones, or, If headstones are there,
with epitaphs moss covered or eaten
away by tune, the destroying Icono
clast. It comes to us not so much
from our fathers and our mothers, but
from great-great-grandfathers, whose
names we have never read unless we
have ferreted them out In some genea
logical library when trying to prove
our descent from the pilgrim fathers
of the Mayflower time or when trying
to prove hereditary claim to some val
uable property in England or Scotland
or Germany whose late owners, who
l»ore our family name, died childless
and without lust will and testament.
This “ancestral call of the good”
comes to us in our dispositions, in
our desires, us well as in our physical
makeups and our entailed landed es
tates.
FAmtly RearmblRncea.
There Is absolutely no doubt in any
intelligent mind that we Inherit our
physical qualities from our ancestors.
If we could only have a family album
which goes back generation after gen
eration, how easy It would 1h> for some
of us to tell from whence our physique
and appearance came. l ean see you
now turning over the pages of that im
aginary album and looking at the dif
ferent pictures. “Yes,” you suy,
“brother John certainly looks like my
mother’s mother, and my grandmother
certainly looks like her father’s sister,
and my great-great-aunt certainly
looks like her grandfather.” And back,
generation after generation, you go,
tracing the physical resemblance of
yourself and the other members of
your family. Even with the few fam
ily pictures you have you can trace
wonderful similarities between your
brothers and sisters and cousins and
uncles and aunts and great-uncles and
great-aunts and grandparents. Fur
thermore, outsiders are able to trace
these likenesses as well as your own
biased eyes.
Some time ago the president of one
of our western colleges was calling at
my house. When ray wife entered the
parlor the visitor pointed to an oil por
trait hanging upon the wall and said:
“I know that Is one of your husband’s
relatives 1 they look so much alike.
Why, your husband looks far more like
that man than he looks like his own
father. Who Is he?” "That,” answer
ed my wife, “Is Mr. Talraage’e great-
uncle. Every one who enters this room
Is struck by the similarity in their
looks. That is the picture of Rev.
Samuel K. Talmage of Georgia, who
was president of the famous Ogle
thorpe university and Mr. Talmage’s
grandfather’s youngest brother.” If I
look like Samuel K. Talmage, who died
before I was born, why could he not
have looked like his grandfather or
great-grandfather? If I inherit my
physical traits from my grandfather
and he in turn from his grandfather,
why, In the same way, cannot I trace
back my spiritual nature and those
higher yearnings after the better and
nobler life and my holier desires—trace
them back generation after generation
to some remote progenitor? Why can
not I hear that faroff voice pleading
with me to be good and true? Jack
Loudon’s noble St. Bernard dog heard
“The Call of the Wild” pleading with
him to become a wolfish king, to lead
on his hungry pack to destroy the elk
or the moose caught In the northern
snows. My friends, we, too, may hear
the strange ancestral voices within us.
We know that the voices of our Chris
tian forefathers and foremothers, per
haps a hundred years dead, are now
calling to us to live the Christ life and
to walk with God. Voices—myriads of
voices—are about us, voices celestial,
voices demoniacal, ancestral voices
which call us up as well as evil voices
which call us down!
As we place the palms of our hands
as sounding boards back of our ears
we may hear other strange voices call
ing us to the higher life. At first we
cannot make out what these voices
are. We are in doubt whether we are
listening to silence itself or to voices
crying from a long distance. We* are
in doubt whether we hear any real
sound, Just as we used to be when, as
boys, we would place our ears close
to the railroad tfack to hear the rum
bling of the oncoming train. At first
we would hear a faint murmur,' the
hum of the rail, but the train would
come nearer and the rumbling would
grow louder and louder. So, when we
place our ears close to the side of the
cradle, we seem to hear the voices of
childhood days, the parental voices of
the old homestead. These In chorus
are sounding “The Call of the Good.”
How long, how very long ago, in child
hood days, those voices first sounded!
CrIIh to the Higher Life.
How many years back can you re
member those voices of childhood?
“Oh,” you answer, “I can remember
back twenty, thirty, forty years ago.
I can remember clear back to the time
when I was five years of age. I re
member when my father sold his farm
and went to town and became a store
keeper. We had a big yellow cat on
that farm, which was my playmate.
no, my cynical friend. That Is not
what I find, as a rule, In the physician’s
office. There I find as noble a class of
men as ever lived, men who are doing
one-third, perhaps one-half, of their
work for nothing or perhaps even less
than nothing. I go to the great Chi
cago surgeon, Dr. Murphy, and say:
"Dr. Murphy, here is a young girl suf
fering. She has not a cent! Will you
operate on her for nothing?” “I will,”
says Dr. Murphy. “Send her down.”
And send her down I did. I go to the
brilliant Massachusetts lawyer, George
F. Hoar, and say:. “Mr. Hoar, your
country needs you. Will you live and
die a poor man? Will you live in a
boarding house in Washington upon a
meager salary so that you may leave
your country a rich heritage of a life
sacriflged for duty’s sake?” The young
lawyer, George F. Hoar, answers, “I
will.” Senator Hoar lived and died
financially a poor man.
I enter the study of the great French
author Zola. I say: “Mr. Zola, there is
a young man, Alfred Dreyfus by name,
who has been unjustly condemned and
sent to Devil’s island. He never has
committed a crime; neither have his
accusers brought forth one proof of a
crime. Will you throw your influence
against the ringleaders of the French
army? Will you be cursed and be cruci
fied and sent to prison for Justice’s
sake while you stab to death the in
iquities that are destroying the French
government?” Emile Zola answers, "I
will.” I go into the college class room
and say to some of the brightest stu
dents sitting there: “Young men, will
you fit yourselves for service in for
eign missionary fields? Will you give
your lives up to God and humanity
for a mere pittance of a salary and be
! separated from all the opportunities of
; wealth that you eould win at the bar
! or in the medical profession or behind
the merchant’s counter?” No sooner
| do I speak than scores and hundreds of
young men raise their hands and cry:
' “I will! If my God and my country
need me, I am ready to lay down my
life in their service. I wiH! I will!”
Oh, the noble sacrifices for justice and
honor and truth and (’hrist and coun-
try and home and loved ones we can
; see on every hand! Do not these In-
, spire you and me to answer “The Call
of the Good?” Do they not bkl you
; say, “I will; yes, in God’s name, I will
' live the higher saerifici&l life for oth-
| ers?"
ChanRvd and Parlfled.
But, after all, I believe the greatest
j “Call of the Good" comes from the tes
timony of men and women who were
j once, as wild beasts of passion, roam
ing over the mountains of sin, carrying
until they think that even Christ him
self has ceased to love them or to care
for them. I offer It not so much in
the homes of purity as upon the wild
mountain sides of sin, in the thickets
of evil and in the cold blizzards of de
spair. Remember, Christ comes to us
not so much as a judge, but as a
Saviour, a rescuer, a redeemer. Will
you listen to the “Divine Call of the
Good?” Will you be purged with
hyssop until you are clean? yfiil you
be washed in the atoning blood until
your garments Iwcome whiter than the
driven snow?
Christ would save even the lowest
and the vilest. He would save Paul,
the chief of sinners, even as he would
save the gentle John. He would do for
us In a spiritual way what that Indian
mother in a physical sense tried to do
for her little daughter many years ago
upon one of the ice floes of Lake Hu
ron. This mother was an Indian
squaw of Manitoulin Island, of the
OJibway tribe. She was standing up
on the Ice near to the shore one even
ing. Suddenly the Ice upon which she
stood parted, and the block blew out
into the lake. Next morning the In
dians found her frozen body, with her
dead baby by her side. But before the
mother died this Indian squaw took
off her own clothes and wrapped them
about her baby. Then with her naked
body she lay down upon the Ice to
shield her child from the fierce winds
and cuddled the little one close under
her naked breast. So the divine Christ
has come to us. He has laid down his
life as a sacrifice for us. He has
placed his body between us and the
evil results of our sins, and today
upon the cross he says: “Oh, sinner,
come to me; live in me. I have died
that,you w mlght live forever In God and
with God!”
Mon and women who, as wild beasts
of passion, aro roaming over the hill
sides of sin, will you not heed this
divine Invitation? Will you let the
blood of an atoning Saviour bo shod in
vaUi? From being a sinful, human
beast and spiritual outcast will you not
lie changed Into one of Christ’s glori
fied spirits of earth arid heaven, which
shall live under the divine benediction
and dwell with your redeemed ones
« •
forever and ever? “The Call of the
Good” Is here. Listen. Do you hear
it? Will you answer its summons
now?
Jesus, take this heart of n\l*e.
Make It pure and wholly thine.
Thou hast bled and died for me;
I will henceforth live for thee.

Many years ago when the Massachu
setts hills were covered with forests
and in the dark recesses of the woods
the smoke from the Indian wigwams
was seen by the pilgrim colonists three |
little white children were stolen away.
Searching party after searching party
went forth, but the lost could not bo
found. Many years after there came a
rumor to the coast that three young
maidens were living with an Indian
tribe in the Interior of the state. "The
father and mother of one of these sto
len children went to this tribe, but
when they arrived there they could not
tell their own daughter from the other
white maidens. Their daughter was
stolen when a baby; now she was a
grown girl. Finally the mother sat
down under a tree and began to sing
the old lullaby with which she used to
croon her darling to sleep. No sooner
did the mother begin to slug that lulla
by than one of the young girls stopped
in her work to listen. Then she crept
up nearer and nearer to the singing
woman. Then with a Sound she ran
and placed her head in the white worn
an’s lap and In the Indian dialect sob
bed: “Mother! My mother! My lost
and found mother!” Ah, yes, it was the
voice of the cradle that called her to
her mother's side. And so today you
and I hear strange voices that are
sounding "The Call of the Good.” They
are the voices of prayer, of love, of
tenderness with which our mothers and
our fathers gave us to God when wo
were very little children. Friends, can
not you hear these voices? Just put
your hand to the back of your ear and
In God’s name listen. Yes, those voices,
those loving voices, those voices of pa
rental prayer, of early childhood, ut
tered perhaps over our cradles, are now
calling us to the higher life.
The Cell of the IJtIrv.
But we do not have to listen to “The
Call of the Good” in echoes alone. We
do not have to hear this call to the
the voice of hate; now it Is the voice of
love. Their eyes were once bloodshot
and their hands sharp clawed and their j
teeth as cruel as the crooked beak of a
hawk, ready to make its fatal plunge ;
into the heart of dove or lamb or fawn.
Now their eyes are eyes of gentle- ;
ness; their feet are like the great paws
of the noble 8t. Bernard dogs of St. '
Gothnrd pass which the monks send
forth and which climb over the Alps to
hunt for the lost and the dying travel-
ers. These men and women, once cor
rupt. are now purified. Once wild
beasts of passion, now gentle as lambs,
they follow at the feet of the Good
Shepherd, and they come to us and suy,
“If the grace of God could change us
and save us the grace of God can spir
itually change you If you will let It.” i
Not from the Jungle of sin to the jun
gle of sin did they go, but from the far
country of sin they came back as re
deemed sons and daughters to their
father’s house. Not from man to beast,
but from evil monsters to God’s saint-
ship, has been their redemption, trans
formation, transmigration and spiritu
alization.
If some of us could not feel that God
saves the vilest and the lowest and the j
chief of sinners, we could not feel that ;
“The Call of the Geod” was for us.

Secretary Boaaparte’* Signature.
The signature of Charles J. Bona
parte, the new secretary of the navy, Is
the subject of much speculation in the
different bureaus of the -department.
Nothing like it lias been seen for ^t
least four generations of secretaries,
and the speculation is us to how long
It will last in its present entirety. It is
large, distinct, carefully rounded, and
every letter is made with care. It is
distinctly handsome, and Secretary Bo
naparte writes It with much care,
spelling the “Charles” out and finishing
with u little flourish and a carefully
added period. Secretary Long’s signa
ture used to look like a rapid dash
downhill, Secretary Moody’s was an
incoherent assemblage of vertical and
inclined lines and Secretary Morton’s
bold, running hand showed a tendency
to stretch out into a straight line be
fore he finished his Incumbency.
Secretary Bonaparte has calmly ig
nored suggestions that "C. J.” would
be Just as binding and would be less la
borious and devotes the time while the
signature is being formed to learning
the why and wherefore of the paper
before him, so that the time is by no
means lost and the temptation to per
functory signing is much lessened.—

Vegetable Compound
The wonderful power of Lydia B.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be
cause it is a stimulant, not because it
is a palliative, but simply because it la
the most wonderful tonic and reeon*
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvelous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the Virtue of
Lydia' E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of them would acknowl
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re
lied upon to effect a cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
Dr. 8. C. Brigham, of 4 Brigham
Park, Fitchburg, Mass., writes :
“ It gives me great pleasure to say that I
have found Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound very efficacious, and often pre
scribe it iivny practice for female difficulties.
“ My oldest daughter found it very benefi
cial for uterine trouble some time ago, and my
youngest daughter is now taking it for a fe
male weakness, and is surely gaining in health
and stsength.
“ I freely advocate it as a most reliable spe
cific in all diseases to which women are sub
ject, and give it honest'endorsement.”
Women who are troubled with pain
ful or irregular menstruation, bloating
(or flatulence), leucorrhcea, falling, in
flammation or ulceration of the uterus,
ovarian troubles, that bearing-down
feeling, dizziness, faintness, indiges
tion, nervous prostration or the blues,
should take immediate action to ward
off . the serious consequences, and ba
restored to perfect health and strength
by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta
ble Compound, and then write to Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., for further
free advice. No living person has had
the benefit of a wider experience in
treating female ills. She has gnided
thousands to health. Every suffering
woman should ask for and follow her
advice if she wants to be strong and
well.

No business can possibly be
successful that is not adver
tised.
This is a sweeping statement,
but it is true. There are aome
merchants in this community
whose experience apparently
contradicts the statement.
The contradiction, however,
is only apparent. If they have
attained any degree of success
they have advertised. They have
let people know what they had to
sell, what they were here for and
what they proposed to do. Just
in proportion to the thorough
ness with which they have done
this and met the conditions of
their competitors they have suc
ceeded.
If they have used the newspa
pers they have worked with the
best tools so far as getting pub
licity is concerned. If they have
worked without the newspapers
they have been handicapped and
have not attained the highest
possible measure of success.
A fertile seed planted in fertile
ground, carefully watered, will thrive
and bear fruit
A properly organized business,
in any inhabited place, well advertised
will succeed. The law of
growth is as certain and inexorable in
one case es the other.
