WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp
toms is the Prime Cause of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Bright’s Disease.
It is Easily Curable in the Early Stages.
Kidney diseases are so destructive to j
hitman life because they do not manifest ,
alarming symptoms until the constitu- !
tion is seriously weakened and the j
strength exhausted. Then, too often,
the remedies employed by many physi
cians are of indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is to apply a j
re’iable kidney and liver remedy on the ,
first appearance of the symptoms. A |
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
digestive troubles, bowel irregularities |
and disorder in the urinary organs are ;
matters of small moment in the estima- ^
tion of strong men and women, yet they
have a serious meaning. They show j
clearly that the kidneys are suffering j
and need help, which must be forth- j
coming at once to prevent serious, per- j
haps fatal consequences. A few doses !
of Pricklv Ash Bitters at this time would

prove of incalculable value in restoring
the weakened organs to health. An
investment of one dollar in a bottle of
Prickly Ash Hitters when the disease is
yet in tire early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in doctor's bills, besides the I
suffering that would surely follow’should ]
the disease be allowed to fasten itself in j
the body. The excellent curative power !
of Prickly Ash Bitters ift not confined to
tUe first stages of kidney disease. It is ;
equally efficacious in severe or chronic i
cases. Physicians have used it as a last
resort, in cases that defied their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results, ;
j and it has shown its superiority over the ,
many so-called kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised, in instances innu
merable.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figUre 3 iu red on the front label.

*»t Haa.
“I’ve slept under a shed with the
thermometer ’way below zero,” eaid
the tramp, “and I've gone two long
day* with nothing to eat, but I’m telle
ing you straight that when I once had
$1,000 in my pocket I was worse ofl
than at any other time i can remem
ber. I had Just been let out of the
bridewell in Chicago, and was begging
on the streets and being turned down
on every hand, when I picked up a
$1,000 bill on the sidewalk. I thought
It was a dollar, and you bet I made a
hustle to get down a side street. When
I dodged into a doorway and made out
that I was a thousand dollars ahead
of the game the sweat started from
every pore and my knees knocked to
gether. I was regularly seasick for
ten minutes, and my heart thumped
away until I thought it would break
out.
“That $1,000 meant a heap for me,
you understand, but I was so excited
that it was two hours before I could
do any planning. The first thing was
to buy a new suit of clothes, and I en
tered a store and picked them out.
When I exhibited that $1,000 bill the
clothier ran to the door to call a po
liceman. I got away by a close squeeze,
and then realized the situation. Tramp
as I was, I couldn’t get it changed at
a bank nor use It to make me more
comfortable. If it had been a ten I
could have had lodgings and a bed,
but I’m telling you that I walked the
streets as hungry as a shark, and slept
at a police station and in lumber
yards.
“Under the circumstances the bill
might as well have been a piece of
brown paper. I tried all sorts of
dodges to get it busted, but it was no
go. Every time I showed it I ran the
risk of arrest. I offered a butcher $100
to get It changed, but he refused to
have anything to do with it. I’d have
sold It for half price and been glad to,
but there was no such thing as mak
ing a deal. Finally, in despair, I went
lo one of the newspaper offices and
looked up the advertisements for the
week past. The loser had advertised,
and I went to his office in a big build

“ ‘I wouldn’t have believed there wan

have kept the bill as well aa not.’
“He took down my name and ail that,
■nd gave the affair away to the report
ers. They wrote me up as the ‘Honest
Tramp,’ and had my picture in the
papers, but you may guess I didn’t en
joy it over much. 1 had $00 in place of
$1,000, and as for honesty, it was all
bosh. I returned the bill because 1 had

The moon was full and the magio

ANTIQUE FURNITURE AGAIN.
iedroom Coffers of the Middle Agea
Are in Use Among the
Fashionables.
_
The feminine world is again taking to
.he use of stately and artistic coffers or
:hests, reports the Washington Star.
The dames of the middle ages, who
had no convenient bureaus in which to
store their finery, were dependent upon
the coffer. Some of these historic chesta .
are marvels of delicate carving, inlay
work and painting. The greatest artists !
of Italy did not disdain to decorate these ,
receptacles.
So valuable were some of the coffers ;
that a great lady was considered, well
dowered if she received one on her mar
riage day. It was placed in her cham
ber, with the great bedstead and a stool
or two, which were the sols furnishings.
Toward the close of the eighteenth cen
tury coffers were all but discarded. Un
til recently specimens were to be found
only in the museums or old castles and
manor houses of Europe.
Now the taste for antique furniture ;
Is bringing the coffers again into favor, i
Two seen recently were made for the |
state rooms of yachts. They are both
carved and tinted.
One chest is built of weathered oak,
deeply carved and then stained in green ■
and red. The design represents mer
maids sporting in the midst of an ocean
forest. Seaweeds and shells are the moat
conspicuous features in the picture.
The other coffer is of oak, having a
gray finish. It is decorated with a burnt
design. Green and mauve stain3 ara j
used to touch up the figures. The sub
ject of these decorations is a scene at
the court of King Neptune.
Bedroom coffers are usually adorned
with flowers, birds, butterflies or some
allegorical or mythological scene. One
small Douaoir casat nas represemawuu* ;
of Penelope among her maidens upon lta j
panels. Through open windows tha [
sprays of the climbing roses are blown
Into the room and the flowers with tha
garments of the women are brilliantly
colored.
Scriptural subjects were painted oa
some of the antique chest3, and these
have been well imitated by modern
workmen. The painted panel is set deep
in the wood and framed by a wide band
of molding. Carved figures, supporting
the corners, and elaborately designed
lids are features of the painted chests.
The most ancient designs are tha
heavily carved ones. Those who are
versed in the history of furniture can
tell to a nicety the age of a chest by tha
style of carving and quality of the wood.
The earlier Renaissance specimens are
almost priceless, and even copies of
them are expensive. In appearance they
are not unlike a coffin. There Is usually
a richly carved base, the long shallow
body above it being slightly curved. Tha
lid projects over the body, and is less
deeply cut than the sides.
A more modern Renaissance chest,
and a style which Is more frequently
copied, is embellished with small panels,
on which appear conventionalized foli
age designs in line work. The shading
is burnt into the wood.
Gilded and enameled coffers are also
to be seen, but they are eighteenth cen
tury work and represent the period of
decadence.
The modern household cofTer is usual
ly lined with silk or an art fabric. Plenty
of tiny pockets are scatteied over Ui*~
lining, and in these are placed sachet*
for perfuming the contents of the box.
The chest3 are convenient receptacles
for linen, bedclothes, draperies or gar
ments not in use.
Those who can afford a cedar chest
need have no fear of moths. Although
these ornamental boxes cost more than
trunks, they will last a lifetime. They
are distinctly decorative, and may ha
made to fit any vacant niche in a small
room. The price varies with the style,
oi decoration and wood. Some are com
paratively inexpensive, while others;
good imitations of the carved antique
chest or the gilded and enameled eight
eenth century masterpieces, are valued
as tre most works of art.
HIS FIRST WATERSPOUT.
Qr«en Sailor Boy Wanted to See One,
and He Was Quickly Ac
commodated.
A waterspout is one of the first thing*
A green sailor boy wants to see. He has
read about it as one of the wonders oi
the sea, and it rouses his keenest curi
osity. He gets the old sailors to promise
! to call him when one is sighted. They
promise, winking stealthily at each oth
er, relates an exchange.
The ship gets down Into trepical wa
ters, and the boy is told that a water
spout may come along almost at any
time.
One night he Is awakened suddenly.
An old sailor shakes him.
■'Come on! Hurry up, young feller:
thore’s a waterspout on the starboard
bo«r bearing right down on us.”
The boy hastens up the companlon
wtj without waiting to draw, and a*
he darts out on aeca ne is tnrown aown
by a mass of water descending on him
like a wet mountain. He struggles to
his feet, gasping, sputtering:
"Wa-a-s that-t a wa-a-a-ter spout?"
The sailors are around him roaring.
Then he looks up above the companion
way and sees an empty hogshead. Having
seen and felt the waterspout, he descends
to his bunk, wipes himself dry and turns
iu. Next time waterspouts In great num
bers may be reported on both bows, but
he will have no particular desire to ob
serve them. _____

Epilepsy
Fits
St. Vitus Dance
Are nerve diseases, and unless
checked, lead to destruction of
both mind and body. The
weak, shattered nerves must
have something to strengthen
and build them back to health.
Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine
is a remarkable nerve tonic and
stimulant. It strengthens the
nerves, relieves the nervous
strain, and influences refresh-*
ing body-building sleep and
rest. Persistent use seldoift
fails to relieve these afflictions.
"I was taken with epileptic fits; had
eleven in less than 12 hours. Mv
father sent for our family physician
but he could do very little for me and
I grew worse every day, and at last
they had three doctors with me, and I
still got worse. My father heard of
Dr. Miles’ medicines and bought a
bottle of Nervine and a box of Nerve
and Liver Pills. I had taken only a
few doses until I began to feel better.
I took 12 bottles, and it cured mo
Bound and well. It has been worth all
the world to me. I recommend it
wherever I go. You may use this as
a life-long testimonial to the merits
of your medicine, for I nm enjoying
the best of health, .and feel that, my
life and health is due to this wonderful
medicine." LEVY WILLIAMS,
