j gLY-i » Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. r Kidney trouble preys upon the mh.d, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has ., become so prevalent If jj that it is not uncommon M jj for a child to be born '&3£ J afflicted with weak kid- ' - 1 neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child teaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with Ijed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is 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 11 most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty- lfv'A vv sent and one dollar Izes.

V talent In their particular sphere , > pend the welfare and happiness of •• nation. The text 1? Matthew xxr, L. "To another one.” ‘‘The Driving of the Last Fplke" Is to me one of the most suggestive* pic tures ever painted, not because ic is the work of Thomas Hill, one of America’s famous artists, who in his lifetime has been awarded thirty two lirst medals lu competition with other painters; not because copies of that picture have been di fribried broad cast over the United Sta < s in thou sands of woodcuts, not 1 cause I per sonally have seen the oi l artist In his last days, helpless as n little child and therefore, on account • ? the personal ity of the man. have been unduly in- j flueuced by the :-o* • of the picture, j but that pit‘to ms thrilled me 1 through and tbiv». . 1 because It is an ! epoch marking picture. It Is a picture I which shows a marriage altar, where | the far east and the far west—where the Union railroad and the Central Pa-1 ciftc railroad—were united by the wed- j ding ring of a steel rail. It Illustrates the dramatic moment when the great work of Lelnnd Stanford and C. P. Huntington and Charles Crocker and Mark Hopkins was consummated. In the presence of some of the most J prominent men, north, south, east and west, the golden spike was driven which forever made the east and the west, the metropolis of New York ami the metropolis of California, next door neighbors. Vast was the amount of brain and physical energy expended which mad" the scene of that picture possible. Over ; the mountains, down into the valleys, the leaping rivers and the ravines, has : gone the shriek of that locomotive we j see puffing and panting behind Leland Stanford as the first president of tbe! Central Pacific drives in the last spike. | Far, far away from any human real donee went the workmen. 'Cannot you see the deer and the buffalo and the! prairie dogs look up in wonderment as that strange looking creature called a railroad train dashes by? "How could ! a man have hundreds and thousands and tens of thousands of men at work ; for him, as did Leland Stanford, and not have thousands of financial leak ages, which would sweep away his on- j tire fortune?” I asked a great railroad contractor when talking about the les sons of this picture. “Simply by per-! feet organization.” l.e answered. “Each man inis his nHoited work to do. Each man i; responsible for a gang of men or for certain sections of the work rate enough to get near to a city bar gain counter you feel that every one Is there training for a college football field and you are the “center rush,” while every -ortan lias a right to push you. and ; . : e called “no gentle man” If you da. ■ io push back. Women have cer ain r nts where no man has any rights. Cue of their rights Is to be left in undisputed possession of a woman s d:y goods store. O Talented People. P,u‘, t' ugh you may have many un- f tun * experiences while shopping * h \ „ur wife In a great city, there is ..e powerful lesson you will learn the; . This is the hsson: When you <*; r a great dry goods emporium, re millions of dollars’ worth of •;« h!s arc sold every year, the floor- v aiker who greets you at the door, the < icrk who sells you the goods over the counter, the delivery boy who hands the parcels in at the door, are all one talented folks. If that clerk is dis'v- spoetful, if the young man in the shoe department does not wait up*m you patiently and kindly, you leave that store in disgust. In a large dry goods store ns an ordinary customer you never meet the manager or the great European buyer or the owner of tin* store. You deal with the common one talent clerk. Nearly all the goods in a large retail store are sold by one talent clerks, and the way those clerks treat their employer's customers decides how much those customers will buy. Is not this Illustration an overwhelm ing proof to you of the mighty in fluence and power of the one talent people? The one talent clerk may say: “1 am only an insignificant atom in my em ployer's business. I am only a drop Oi water in a great ocean, two and one-half miles deep and 3,000 mile; wide. I am only a leaf amid a whole forest of autumnal foliage. I am only a little flickering candlelight in a ho rizon ablaze with the flaming chari ots of the noontide sun. I do not amount to anything.” Oh, yes, my brother, you do. As a clerk in tin* store, as a typewriter or a salesman or •1 saleswoman you are not jui insignif leant atom, though you may be occu pying a small place. You are not a 1 • )j) of water amid an ocean of heav- hig billows. You are not a leaf or a candlelight dimmed by the glory of iL" noontide sun. hut you are the cogs of a wheel which are absolutely essen tial to make the wheel move. If the little cog; are gon", then the wheel stops. If the wheel stops, then all the vast machinery of the factory is halt ed. In the great railroad engine the boiler, generating the steam which draws the long line of freight cars, is absolutely essential, hut are not the piston rods and the driving wheels and the truck and the coal tender and the furnace and all the other parts of the locomotive Just as essential? \ot to Bo 1)on|>!nc<i. What would you think of the long branches of a great tree looking down in disgust at the roots just exposed when the sod is tur ed over by tbe fanner’s spade? What would you think if those branches would say: “Oh, you filthy, dirty roots. Why are you in yonder darkness? fan you not array yourselves in my coat of many colors? 1 will have none of you.” Well, today comes and gives to him another stone. After awhile that stone and still an other are taken away. He has no idea what use will he made of those stones, but one day, walking down the street In front of the art gallery, over the doorway he sees the stones upon which be has worked. He did not know what those stones were for, hut the archi tect did, and as he stands looking at his work, which is the beauty of the whole street, the tears drojrdown from his eyes and he says, "1 am glad I did it well,” and every day as he passes that way he says to himself exultantly: "I did It well! Ah, I am glad I did it well!” Ah, yes, that stone cutter had a right to exultantly cry, “I did it well,” for had he not done his work well the design of the architect would have been utterly helpless with out his execution. Thus today 1 find every stone wall and evefy printing press and every paved street and every house and every railroad and every ship and every bridge and every tower and every aqueduct a puloit for the one talented man. The carpenters and the masons and the mechanics and tlie laborers are all calling to us from these rostrums: “I made these tall buildings. Without me they could noi have been lifted. I made them. I am the one talented mechanic. Did I not do my work well?” Ah, ye laborers and mechanics in overalls, never neg lect the essential work God has given you to do. un 11 you get down to the lowest boss and Lie lowest workman digging in tho| the owner of the great dry goods store ditch. The success of Leland Stan- »><> more be independent of his clerks than the tree branch can be in dependent of the tree root. What would you think of the wood of the tall mast despising the wood of the ship's keel? Can the hand say to the wrist, “I have no need of thee?” Oan the foot say to the eye, “I have mi need of thee?” Can the heart say to the lung, "I have no need of thee?” Neither can the glass office say to the counter, “I have no in*ed of thee.” The one talent clerk is just as essential for the marvelous developments of the mercantile world as is the ten talent merchant or the ten talent capitalist. The Hebrew talent Is no Insignificant capital which Cod places In the hand of the ordinary, everyday, common place clerk who sells us our goods over the store counter. But if we speak well of the one talent clerk shall we not also speak well of the worldwide Influence of the one tal ented mechanic and the one talented laborer and the one talented engineer and the one talented carpenter and the one talented mason and all the one tnl- ford’s railroad enterprises, as well as of all great enterprises, depends as mueh upon the men of one talent doing their work honestly as it does upon the men of five or ten talents doing their work honestly and well.” Great lesson is that—great in temporal life, great, in spiritual. God has no insignificant' workmen in the purpose for which the human race was created. The people who are considered ordinary folks are just us essential in God’s great econ omy as the men styled mental giants. Xo Workmen Are t HelcMN. No workmen useless or unimportant in God’s sight. Oh, yes, we can prove that by the value of the old Hebrew talent as well as by the conversation of the great railroad contractor In ref erence to Thomas Hill's “Driving of the Last Spike.” Was the Hebrew talent a small capital with which to start life’s battles? No. That talent repre sented about 3,000 sUfkels of silver or about .$1,010 In American money. Then when you furthermore estimate that the laborer in Christ’s day received Girls and Boys Wanted To Make Money. Call at tho Shoe Store Any afternoon between four and five o’clock. Any boy can make from $1.00 to $3.00 a week. The R. S. Lipscomb Shoe Co. only a penny a day, which In our time' on ^ r( ^ a 1011 wbo wield saw and strike hammer and drop plumbltne and push plane? Is not the workman whose deft fingers make the piano Just us essen tlal for the world’s melodies as the musicians whose sensitive touch make tbe great bellows of harmony rear themselves and dash themselves Into white foam upon the coral reefs of white Ivory keys? Shall we not honor today the Stradlvarlus who manufac tures the violins, as well as the I’agu- I \*.. i.. 4-n. ..i.—ninls and the Ole Bulls who can make the strings weep and wail or laugh and sing when they wave over them tbe touch of their magic bows? Are not Gutenberg's disciples who give to us the printed page just as essential for the dissemination of knowledge as the brain of Galilei or the sacred pen of Thomas a Kempls or the rugged elo quence of Thomas Carlyle or the match less literary creations of William 8hake«|>eare or the fireside songs of Henry Longfellow or Eugene Field? The chisel of the one talented stone cutter writes whole pages In the chap ters of the world’s progress as well ns the pen of the statesman, the architect and tbe social sage. Henry Ward Beecher some years ago in a sermon vividly described an expert stonecut ter coming Into this country ns an Im migrant. He knows no* one .md no one knows him, but when he applies for work at one of the big atoneyards In Brooklyn tbe foreman gives him a stone to cut Here Is a querl or fern; there Is a branch of what is to bo a flower. He works on and on patient ly. After awhile, when the work on that block la done, the foreman would be an equivalent of about 18 cents, you can readily understand that the good man of the parable of my text gave to even the humblest of his serv ants an equivalent of about $2,000 in our money. That is no small amount of money to put out at interest. And so this Labor Sunday to the clerk, the servant, the laborers in the ditch, tbe common soldier and the common church member God gives “a powerful oue talent.” My object Is to talk about some of the one talented people. I would show their vast influence upon the great wide world I would also show why all of us ordinary folks should employ well the talent God has given us to use. In the first place, study the influence of the one talented folks in the mer cantile world. Your wife some day says to you: “Come, my dear, let us go shopping. You have a day off There is no reason for your not spend ing the day with me.” In a moment of mental weakness you go shopping. Why do I say In a moment of mental weakness? I do not believe any man on earth can look more out of place and feel more uncomfortable and mis erable than in an average dry goods store. There the women push you from side to side. When you are not stepping on your own feet you are al most sure to be stepping on some lady’s dress. Then before you have any time to say, “Excuse me, madam,” some other woman knocks you In tbe back, and your head flies back until your neck feels ns though It had spinal men ingitis. And then If you an* unfortu- Tin* Tnlentn of Servnnta. But 1, must speak to another class of one talented folks. They are the house hold servapts, whom the parable of my text mentions by name. They are the servants, the tried servants, who, as King Solomon expressed it. “were horn in my house.” They grow up under the very eye of their master. Because he felt lie could trust them ho delivered unto them his precious possessions. Let me illustrate the parable. The master is about to leave for the coun try. All the different men and women about the farm and the fields are gath erod into one room. The master turns to one and says. “John, I will make you responsible for my cattle.” To an other he says, “Peter, I will let you tend to the plowing and the sowing.” To another he says, "James, you take care of the sheep and see that their wool is sheared at the right time." These are all five talented men. Each one is a superintendent of a depart ment and has a large number of em ployees under him. Then, after giving forth some of the two talents and also some of the one talents, at last the master turns to one of his servants. Mcthlnks I see him look at her search inply, tenderly, lovingly and pleading ly. Hhe does not look as though she was a mental genius. But she had a good face. Fho looks ns though sin* was faithful and true. Then the good master says: “Mary, I can give to thee but one talent. That Is all thou art able to use. But, oh, it is a talent dear to me. I am going to trust to thee my children. While 1 am away I am going to leave them in thy charge. Thou art to be their nurse. Thou art to remain behind as a household serv ant." And of all one talented people do you know of any who have greater opportunities of usefulness and greater responsibilities for doing good than the one talented household servants—the cook, the chain hernia id and the nurse? Weigh her one talent as she bends over the cradle as nurse. Next to be ing a mother, the most responsibility that can come to any ordinary young woman is to he left in sole charge of it nursery. How great an influence that is but few peo ple seem to realize! Some time ago a worldly man was taunting a celebrated pastor because his great congregations were made up. for the most part, of common people and servant girls. “I , know It,” said the noted divine. "My church Is composed for the most part of just such converts as Ghrist and his apostles gained. But, as for the servant girls, I had rather he Instru mental in converting them than almost any other class of people, for the serv ant girls as nurses have charge of all the growing children.” But, though the greatest opportunity on earth that can come to the average one talented young woman Is to be a nurse, yet many women seem to floe that noble occupation its they would a viruleut plague. They would rather go and peddle groceries or pincushions or tend to factory bobbins than mold hoys and girls Into mighty men and women for God. Oh, ye nurses! Oh, ye young women whom God has sent nn ^ , as faithful Miriams to watch the in- or ^ ground fnnt Moses, great Is your calling! Do your work well. That hoy by your side If you are faithful and true under God may Home day lead his people out of an Egyptian bondage. That young girl, through your prayers, may some day be able to raise a whole family of Christian sons and daughters. Oh, the transcendent one talent of nurse upon the home life! Talcnta of M«n In ftantai. Speaking about the Influence of on* talented folks, shall we neglect to speak of the one talented soldier boys who so freely pour forth their life's blood for the perpetuation of their j country’s government? “To hear some people talk,” said a prominent gentle man to me some time ago, “one would suppose that the only men who did anything for civil war were Sheridan and Lee and Stonewall Jack- son.” That is not true. The civil war was mighty because the man In the ranks carrying a musket was faithful and true ns well as the officer carrying a sword. Yes, and the war of 1770 and the war of 1812 and the war of 181)8 were mighty wars for the same reason. The common soldiers who fought in those wars were ready to sacrifice everything for their country’s good. And, my friends, this nation never need fear a foreign Invasion or Internal revolution ns long aa the com mon people. Its one talented citizens, arc loyal and true to their country, as their one talented ancestors have al ways been. Oh, the sacrifices which the common people have made for their native land In the past! Many of you, perhaps, I ave read the story of the English of- II -er who, in 1780, under a ‘flag of t’ re, visited the American general, Francis Marion, aptly called the “Swamp Fox.” After the business for which he came was ended, General Marion asked the representative of the English throne to stay to dinner. "Bring on the dinner, Tom,” said the American commander. With that one of the rough, homely clad men kicked a fire Into pieces aud rolled out some sweet potatoes. “Is that all you have for diuner?’’ exclaimed the English officer. "No,” said Marion, “not al ways, Sometimes we cannot get as good as sweet potatoes. Then we tighten our belts and drink a lot cf water and starve awhile.” When the English officer found that thes£ rough, sunburned men, thinly clad and ummlformed, had for months been serving their country without pay and food, Just 'or the love of their na tive land, he went back to the British lines and threw up his commission and returned home. "What chance have we against such men as these?” said he. “Men who, without proper clothe- and without pay, are ready to live for months on roots and berries in ordet that their country might be free, cun never be beaten.” Ah, yes, the strength and power of our government today are not in its few millionaires, but in the loyalty of its common people. Who the Kirut Chriatlnna Were. If our government is dependent upon the loyalty of Its oue talented patriots how much more truly can we state that our church, the beloved church of Jesus Christ, is dependent also upon the loy alty of Us one talented members. When Christ established his church from whence did he draw his first recruits? Did they come front the palace? Did they come from the merchant prince’s mansion? Did they come from de tents of the Roman generals? Oh, no. They came from the fisherman’s hut. from the laborer’s fields, from the homes of the one talented folks. The first Christian church had its cougrega tion not clothed in silks or satins, but in homespun. The aristocracy despised Christ’s disciples on account of their humble social positions. “The common people heard him gladly.” Not the ten talented men and women were they; not the geniuses in finance and state craft. His people were Ute ordinary, commonplace, one talented worshipers. It was the one talented Christians who composed the Christian church. Has It not always been the one talent ed folks who have carried It on? Who were the Christians who made the ref ormation of Martin Luther possible? Who were the Christians who helped John Knox shake old Scotland and shake the world? Who were the Chris tians who came over In the Mayflower and established the Puritan church of the Plymouth colony? From whence did John Wesley and Charles Wesley and George Whitelield draw most of their followers? Who made Finney and Moody the mighty religious fac tors they were? For the most part, the great masses of church members have beou and are today taken from the ranks of the common people. It is PAINFULfERIODS AMERICAN WOMEN FIND NELIEF The Case of Miss Irene Crosby Is One of Thousands of Cures Made by Lydia K. Plnkham’s Vegetable Compound. How many women realize that men* Struation is the balance wheel of a Woman’s life, and while no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, it is not the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. Thousands of American women, how* ever, have found relief from all monthly suffering by taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, as it is the most thorough female regulator known to medical science. It cures the condition which causes so much discomfort and robs menstruation of its terrors. Miss Irene Crosby, of 313 Charlton Street East Savannah, Ga., writes : “ Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound is a true friend to woman, ft has been of great benefit to me, curing me of irregular and painful menstruation when everything else had failed, and I gladly recommend it to other suffering women." Women who are troubled with pain ful or irregular menstruation, back ache, bloating (or flatulence), leucor- rhoea, falling, inflammation or ulcera tion of the uterus, ovarian troubles, that “bearing-down” feeling, dizzi ness, faintness, indigestion, nervous prostration or the blues, should take immediate action to ward off the seri ous consequences, and he restored to perfect health and strength by taking Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Com pound. and then write to Mrs. Pink- ham, Lynn. Mass., for further free ad vice. Thousands have been cured by so doing. * J l.>-^ - fj' 'US J 1 * 0 9 i '» * To I tune the one talented folks who crowd orr tremendous pews today. When you take the one talented folks out the church, like Samson, whose hair was shorn by the shears of an evil mistress, will decay and as a mighty spiritual and temporal power will lose her entire strength. Man—one talented man—you think yon do not amount to much iu < lod’s church! Woman—one talented woman—you do not fully reckon your influence In pray er meeting and in Sunday school and in church pew! The church of Jesus Ghrist 1« dependent for most of its laborers niyl members upon the one talented people. You may belong to that class. Never desert the temple of God, which he calls his diviift* church. But ns I am trying to show the im portance of the one talented people in the store, the factory, the home and the church, I must not end here. I must show you that, though your in fluence Is worldwide, yet there is no class of people on earth who are so ready to shirk, their tasks as the one talented folks. The teaching of this parable Is absolutely true. The five talented men went to work. They are in the treadmills. They cannot stop i and get out. They have to go ahead to pieces. But the one talented men think their work Is of so little Importance that they can st v,t any time aud no oue cares. I enter a great merchant’s store “Come,” I say, “let us hie ourselw- off to the woods.” “Nay, nay,” say he. “I cannot stop. If 1 did not keep working and keep my men working a Christian ! t * 10 payroll of my business would soon land me In the bankruptcy court." "Come,” I say to a minister of Jesus Christ, “come, let us run away from town.” “I cannot go,” says he. “The congregation will meet Sunday morn ing. If I am not there there will be no one to lead them In worship.” But. though the president feels the Impor tance of his mission In the White House and the great merchant of his position In the store and the minister of his _ . . . 4. j position in the pulpit, how very few of tWIr toudu-j Jurlug the i ^ tbe , mpo , ; Grant and Sherman and ✓ V 0 4 Vft 4*1 M « « 4 / . 1 r IK * \ 4 1 Alt 4* I *• ■ h M^.4, 4* a, ( t . 4 1 of their work and their presence In the church of God for the salvation of the world for Christ? Oh, ye one talented folks, never let a day pass without reckoning up the Im portance of your prayers, your service and your consecration to Cod for tin* consummation of Christ’s mission on earth! May you here and now, hi your ordinary lives, say: "O Christ, trke me! Take my home, take my children take my all for thy service! Tench me to make good use of the one In lent which Is mine aud thine!” .

There are jome 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 *eed planted in fertile pound, carefully watered, will thrive end bear fruit A properly organized business, in any inhabited place, well advertised will succeed. The law of growth is aa certain and inexorable in one awe as Ike other. t\
