Many a wife, says the Elgin
Courier, is loitering around
home fooling her time away toy-
ing with a washtub, or cutting
wood, while her poor husband
is hard at work in the back
room of some saloon worrying

other fellow from shutting out
his double six.
Thousands Have Kidney Trouble
and Don’t Know it.
Bow To Find Out.
Fill a boUle or common glass with you>
water and let It stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or set-
tling indicates an
I unhealthy condi-
tion of the kid-
neys; if it stains
your linen It Is
evidence of kid-
ney trouble; too
frequent desire to
pass tt or pain in
the back Is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and blad-
der are out of order.
What to So.
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
beck, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
ft, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or befcr, 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-Root ts soon
realized. It stands the highest for Its won-
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

Czar of Russia a conference was
held at The Hague, a Holland
city, May 18, 1899, to consider
the question of disarming all na-
tions and the substitution of
arbitration for war.
In this conference the repre-
sentatives of the following gov-
ernments met:
The United States, Great Brit-
ain, France, Germany, Denmark,
Austria, Hungary, Russia, Italy,
Portugal, Spain, Holland, Bel-
gium, Switzerland, Sweeden and
Norway, Turkey, Persia, Siam,
Servia, Japan, Romania and
China.
The disarmament proposition
did not find favor but an agree-
ment was reached that the gov-
ernments represented would co-
operate for inaugurating arbitra-
tion for the settlement of all dis-
putes between all nations.
A permanent court of arbitra-
tion was organized. An inter-
national bureau was established
at the Hague and placed under
the direction of a permanent sec-
retary general. That official has
the custody of the archives. It
was agreed that each of the sig-
natory powers should appoint
four persons who should become
members of this court of arbitra-
tion. The terms of the members
of this court was fixed at six
years. The Hague was chosen
as the usual place for the sitting
of this court, but it wap provided
that by the consent of the con-
tending parties the court might
sit elsewhere. It was further
provided that the powers that
had not signed this agreement
might apply to the court under
the proscribed conditions and
avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to have their differences
settled in an amicable way.
In case a question is brought
before this tribunal each of the
parties to a contest appoints two
members of the tribunal and the
four select a fifth who shall pre-
side at the sitting of the com-
mission.
The “Monroe doctrine” is not

little boy was changed by pneu
tnonia almost .to a skeleton,”
writes Mrs. W. Watkins, of
pleasant City, O. “A terrible
cough set in, that in spite of the
doctor’s treatment for several
weeks, continued to grow worse
every day. We then used Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Con-

If my friends have alabaster
boxes full of perfumes of sympa-

bring them out into my weary
days, and open them that I may
be refreshed and cheered by
them while I need them. I would
rather have a bare coffin.without—
a flower and a funeral without a
eulogy, than life without the
sweetest of love and sympathy.

Two Opposites.
When an editor makes a mis-
take in his paper, all the world -
sees it and calls him a liar.
When a private citizen makes a
mistake tobody knows it except
a few friends, and they Invaria-
bly come around and ask him to
keep it out of the paper. When
the private citizen dies the edi-
tor is asked to write up all hip
good qualities and leave out the
bad. When the editor lies, the
private citizen will sky, “Now
that old liar will get his just de-
serts. ”—Brenham Banner.
Tendency of the Times
The tendency of medical science
is toward preventive measures.
The best thought of the world
is being given to the subject,
it is easier and better£o prevent
than to cure. It has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia
one of the most dangerous dis-
eases that medical men have to
contend with, can be prevented
by the use of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia
always results from a cold or'an
attack of influenza (grip), and it
has been observed that this rem-
edy contaracts any tendency of
these diseases towards pneu-
monia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands of
cases in which this remedy has
been used during the great prev:
alence ofcoids and grip in re*
years and can be relied upon
with implicit confidence. Pneu-
monia often results from a slight
cold when no danger is appre-
hended until ft is suddenly dis-
covered that there is fever and
difficulty in breathing and pains
in the chest, then it is announ-
ced that the patient has pneu-
monia. Be on the safe side and
take Chamberlain’s Cough Rem-
edy as soon as the cold is con-
tracted. It always cures. For

tum, Dew.
It’s the boy who has learned a
trade or profession thoroughly
that is climbing to the top of
the ladder of success now-a-days
The time was when a jack-of-all-
trades stood some show, but
now the cry is for meq^who un-
derstand their trade or profes-
sion and it stands everybody
well in hand to adapt himself to
a life-work that is suitable to
his nature and knuckle down to
it and attain the highest degree
of perfection in his chosen work.

marked: “A mountaineer, aged

at the age of 71. As they were
discussing their loss the wife

Advertising is to the merchant
what plowuig is to the’ farmer.
Imagine a farmer trying to raise
a crop by sitting on the fence, as
he looks over a ten-acre field,
wishing that a nice crop of corn
or wheat would spring up in it.
Ridiculous isn’t tt? But not
more so than the merchant who
hides a stock of goods away in
a store room and sits on the
counter, hoping that the pedple
will come and buy.—Ex.
