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,
ft is Easily Curable in the Early Stages.
Kidney diseases are so destructive to
human life because they do not manifest
alarming symptoms until the constitu
tion is seriously weakened and the
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 appl}- a
reliable 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
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be forth
coming at once to prevent serious, per
haps fatal consequences. A few doses
of Prickly 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 Bitters when the disease is
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in doctor’s bills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
the disease be allowed to fasten itself in
the body. The excellent curative power
of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to
ttie first stages of kidney disease. It is
equally efficacious in severe or chronic
cases. Physicians have used it as a last
resort, in cases that defied their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
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 iti red on the front label.

Government Road Building.
The government of the United
States has built highways in
Cuba, in Porto Rico and the Phil
ippine Islands, and congress is
even now preparing to appro
priate money to blaze the high
ways and establish the means of
communication in Alaska. But
the astonishing fact remains that
the government has taken no
substantial part in building high
ways at home, and helping the
people who sustain it, and fur
nish it the very sinews of ex
istence as a government, al
though it is not forbidden by
constitutional limitation or sound
public policy from engaging in
such internal improvement. In
telligent men all over the coun
try know that the almost uni
versal lack of improvement in
our road conditions is directly
referable to the fact that there
has been no established system
or policy pertaining to the ques
tion. According to the ordinary
schemes for road building the
farmers have been compelled to
pay the burden of the cost.
Road building is undoubtedly a
duty of government. Govern
me* . is established for the wel
fare of the people. Nothing that
can be evolved from the brain of
man will more directly affect
material interests among the
people than road conditions, for
good or bad as the roads are
good or bad. The question is
one coming home to all the peo
ple. The proposition embodied
in the Brownlow Good Roads bill
is undoubtedly a wise and
thoroughly patriotic one. Con
gress is being looked to for re
lief in tnis road matter. The
people are now aroused as they
have never been in favor of this,
suggested system of co-operation,
aided, fostered and *led by the
general government. The mon
ey that has been expended in the
Philippine Islands—money gath
ered as taxes from our own peo
pie—would have constructed a
scientific system of roads in
every State in the Union. Thei
people are studying about the
question of government levying
tribute on them for the support
and betterment of other peoples,
while relief is denied to them at
home. The subject is assuming,
the practical phase that will lead i
to iegiclation such as the Brown-,
low-Latimer bill, or sonn thing j
similar thereto.
Write to Hon. W. P. Brownlow :
and secure a copy of the bill.

ANCIENT DOLL-LIKE IDOLS.,
fn found Imbedded m Walla of
Ancient Cliff Dwelling* Near
Santa fa.
While exploring the Puye and
Shuflnne cliff dwellings near San
ta Fe recently Dr. R. W. Scheuss
lor discovered some antiques oi
a kind not previously catalogued
by students of that region. No
dcing upon the wall of an ancient
dwelling some spots of an unu
sual color, be dug into the soft
stone with his pocketknife and
discovered a hole 5 inches in diam
eter and 12 inches deep, partlj
filled with mud. Inside was im
bedded a stick on which was
mounted a doll’s head. In the
same hole was a small, highly pot
(shed turquoise.
Dr. Schuessler investigated fur
ther. He found three more of the
sealed openings, each of there
containing a doll and a turquoise.
One of the holes contained a piece
of petrified resin, in which tooth
marks indicated that it had been
used as the chewing gum of th*
Cay. The probability is that the
doll heads were idols, bat the sig
niflcance of burying them in the
mesa walls and the presence of
| |ie turquoise are not explained

*%Iysophobla" is one of the latil
lltions to the English language,
the name of a complaint which
people will recognize. Probably
commonest name is morbid fastidioii
■ess. Persons who Suffer from mys
phobia, says the Loudou Hour Glass,”
become very faddy in their manner.
I*hey are very particular tbat there la
■ot even a spot on the tablecloth’*
snowy surface. Every plate and dish
and glass that Is brought to them 1*
eagerly scanned for any trace of dirty
fingers. Everything must be unsolled
and Immaculate. In the advanced
stage of mysophobia the sufferer is
unable to resist the temptation to wipe
every article that is placed before him.
Ft does not matter how clean or pure It
may be, the wiping process has to be
gone through.
“Uncinlarlasls” Is anothr novel com
plaint, or, rather, it Is a novel name for
an old complaint. It is the disease which
eauses the existence, in certain states, of
degenerates known as "crackers,** or
"poor whites; ’* in fact, it is the germ o£
laziness which has been Isolated. In ad«
vanced stages the sufferer eats clay be
sides being unusually lazy. At one of
the London police courts the magistrate
was sorely amazed by a witness describ
ing the prisoner as a "trance.** It turned
out eventually that a "trance" Is a maa
who is given a lift from the country In a
market cart In return for which he as
sists the cartman to unload. "A dead
homer” was another curious expression
used in a London police court. The de
tective said It was a well-known expres
sion used by a person when he could not
very well free himself from a charge
which was hanging over his head. In
the case in question the charge was that
of stealing lead. It was unfortunate for
the prisoner that he was a “dead
homer."
A "gawkrodger,” "scrammy," “caggy,"
and a “cuddypaw” are all different Eng
lish names for a left-handed man. Bat
a “jambiste" is about the latest name.
This came out in & case in which a pe^
eon was sued for lessons given in dane
fn?. The defendant denied that he r*
ceived any lessons, but said that he sim
ply attended the* dancing classes as a
Jambiste. A jambiste, It is explained, la
a young society man who occupies his
leisure hours by acting as an auxiliary
at a school of dancing. He Is there for
the purpose of dancing with any of the
women who are in want of a partner.
It appears that he furnishes bis services
at the dancing school gratuitously. His
hope of reward usually Is that he may
meet a rich young heiress at the school,
and be able to marry her.
“Electrofannite” is a peculiar kind of
Indisposition produced by the draught
frofc an electric fan or ventilator.
A "kitchen piano" is a name which
might puzzle a good many people. It ap
peared in a case tried at theClerkenwell
county court that among furniture mov
ers a wringer or mangle Is invariably
known as a "kitchen piano.”
The “dotter” is an instrument which
has now been adopted by the admiralty.
By the use of this instrument the firing
accuracy of the weapon is enhanced
greatly. With its aid a gunner has been
able to hit a target at 2.000 yards eight
times with eight shells in one minutx\
After all, the dotter has a good homel>
ring about it.
A terrible new name is "Thymace
tlnoxaethvlacetamidothymol.” It Is
highly recommended as amedicamentto
people who suffer from “nerves.” It has
been found, however, that, in a few cases
it falls In its effect, In which case an ex
cellent substitute is stated to be Acety
limidcoxyathyhymol. An excellent
thing for the nerves!
Starting "Run” on Bank.
While a woman was waiting to de
posit five dollars in a New England
savings bank she saw' a man draw
out $900. She had never before seen
go much money at once, and concluded
mar. me liana couiu iiul SLa.ua suuu a
heavy drain on its resources. She told
her friends about it, and the newa
spread that the bank was in danger.
A “run" followed, and the depositors
were not satisfied that the bank was
sound until between ten and twenty
thousand dollars had been withdrawn.
The men who read this paragraph need
not say that the thing would not have
happened if it had not been for a silly
woman. Pull-grown men, with years
of business experience, do Just as silly
things when they get frightened about
losing their money.—Youth’s Compan
ion.
Kuroki’s Name.
Several French soldiers, survivors of
the Chinese expedition of 1855, are re
sponsible for the statement that Gen.
Kuroki is in reality haif French. Hia
name, they say. is propeily spelled
Curique. According to the story of
these soldiers, a French officer, Capt
Curique, while serving in China is
1S56, married a Japanese girl. A son
was born to them, ivho was given the
Japanese name Kuroki, corresponding
to the French Curique. This son, it
Is said, is Gen Kuroki. Capt. Curique
died last year In France.—London

Every nerve is a live wire
connecting some part of the
body with the brain. They are
so numerous that if you pene
trate the skin with the point of
a needle you will touch a nerve
and receive a shock—pain it is
called. Aches and pains come
from a pressure, strain
jury to a nerve; the mot
inent the nerve the gr/

from a large nerve it is cal

whether it be the facial nerve!
or the heart, stomach, sciatic*

you must relieve the strain or
pressure upon the nerves.
