The advertising columns of a newspaper are the doctor and the merchant is the patient. Because the patient is all run down and needs a stronger tonic, than ordinarily he tells the doctor that he "feels so bad he hua decided cot to take any medicine at all!" Such ''economy" in the long run will be found the height of extravagance. Revolts at Cold Steel.

You should not delay under any ' circumstances in cases of Kidney and bladder trouble. You should J take something promptly that you i know is reliable, something like DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills. They are unequaled for weak back, backache, inflammation of the blad-, der, rheumatic pains, etc. When you ask for DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills, be sure you get them. They are antiseptic.

A rather amusing story is told on a man who went into a jewelry store of a neighboring town and wished to purchase a clock. - says the Jewelry paper. Being shown the article and informed that the price was $2.00, he said: "Why, I can get the same kind of a clock from a mai 1 order house for $1.65 ouly." "Very well," said the jeweler, "I will give it to von for the same price, provided you will do the same with me as with them"? "All right,'' replied the customer, as he handed over a two dollar bill, ft./I nmrnkunf tririncr him n.iok SoC biJC uiuvimu. ? , in change. "Now/' said the jeweler, "I wantj 35c more to pay express charges from Chicago" which the purchaser gave i him. "How much did your clock ! cost you?" "Two dollars," the customer an-J 1 swered. "Very good; uow give me five cents more for money order fees and postage," which the purchaser had to hand over. "Now how much did your clock cost you?" "Two dollars and five cents," said the customer. "Not so cheap after all," whereupon he picked up the clock, tossed it back on the shelf and told tfci customer to call for it in ten days as that would be as soon as he could get it if he had ordered it from the mail order house. Children especially like Kennedy's Laxative Congh Syrup, as it tastes nearly as good as maple sugar. It not only heals irritation and allays inflammation, thereby stopping the cough, but it also moves the bowels gently and in that way drives the cold from the system. It contains no opiates.

How many Americans have giveu thought to the uncrowned, unseen king that makes it possible for their country to maintain its foremost place among the great and powerful uationsof the world?Those who read "Coal as a Commercial Factor," an article which has been treated in a masterful way by Carrington Phel' s for the readers of the March Metropolitan Magazine, will acknowledge how fortuuate we are to have secured such au able and enlightening article on this vital subject. This article will be read by all those Americans who are ambitious for the welfare of their country.The rumored death by smallpox of the young Emperor of China adds new interest to "The Forbidden City and Its Political Mysteries." Isaac Taylor Headland, the author, owing to unique,favorable circumstances as an eye witness, has been able to write an authentic word ou the hitherto unknown cause of the deaths of the late Emperor and the Dowager Empress. These, and many other articles, help to make the March Metropolitan Magazine unusually interesting and valuable to its readers. The short stories this month maintain the magazine's well-deserved reputation. Among them may be noted: "The Helping Hand," by Robert Barr; "Canis Mirabilis," by Joe H Ransou; "The Man Who Defied Garceno," by E J Uhle; "The Younger Ledbecter," by Mayne Lindsay; and "The Two Deserters,'' by Capt Frank E Evans. Soldier Balks Death Plot. It seemed to J A Stone, a civil war veteran of Kemp, Tex, that a plot existed between a desperate lung trouble and the grave te cause his d?ith. "1 contracted a stubborn cold,'' he writes, "that developed a cough that stuck to me, in spite of all lemedies, for years. My weight ran down to 130 pounds. Theul began to use Dr King's New Discovery, which restored my health completely. I now weigh 178 founds.

LETTER FROM THE CAPITAL (Continued from Page 1) equal debater and a master of sarcasm. It is well understood that Mr LaFollctte and a number of Senators younger in service, if not in years,are determintd to resist the autocracy of Aldrich, Hale and Gal linger which has long ruleu the Senate. In the debate Mr LaFollette said: "I have had the hardihood not only to doubt the divine peifectiou of the present arrangement, but to almost believe the business of the Senate could be distributed among its ninety-two members, instead of being taken care of by less than onethird of this body." Without debate and with very few, words of explanation, the bill to re-1 move the obstacles standing in the J way of Senator Knox becoming Sec- j retary of State was passed by the Senate on the eveuing of thellth) inst. But the bill will probably not have as smooth sailing in the House of Representatives. The chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the House holds that there is no constitutional remedv in Mr Knox's case and it is hinted that he will withdraw his acceptance of MrTaft's invitation that he euter the cabinet and will continue to represent the State of Pennsylvania in the Senate. Although the Senate passed the measure to repeal the salary increase j that was granted to the Secretary of State in 1908 without a wtJW or op-i position,Senators Ov^mau and Kittredge of the Judiciary Committee are known to question whether this or any other legislative action could cure the ineligibility of Mr Knox. Other Senators are donbtful as to the efficacy of any measure, but senatorial courtesy was potent and the biH was passed. There is, however, j not a vestige of such courcesy in the House and some Republicans as well as nearly all of the Democrats, while friendly to Senator Knox, hold that the constitution must be upheld in this matter, regardless of how much it may embarrass the President-elect in the formation of the cabinet. Rheumatism. M F Ballautyne, of Ballantyne & McDonougb's Iron Foundry, Savanah, Ga.,says that he has suffered for years from Rheumatism, and could get no relief from any source, but P. P. P., which cured him entirely. He extols the properties of P. P. P. on every occasion.
