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.
Kulnev 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 empioj-ed 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
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 orsrans 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 olrgans 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
the 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 Hitters with the
large figure 3 in red on the front label.

Hot Springs on Roller Skates.
Hot Springs. March 8.—Thous
ands of tourists now sojourning
at this resort have gone in for
roller-skating with such enthus
iasm that one rink is handling
its full capacity nightly, a second
is being rebuilt to accommodate
twice as many as before, and
two more are being built, wi h
other people figuring on launch
ing out in the business.
So far as reported the casualt
ies are as follows: One girl
thrown into nervous prostration
by a fall; one boy, his teeth
knocked out in collision; under
pinning displaced at one rink by
sudden precipitation of 300-pound
blonde who was conveyed home
in a cab, and is now recovering.
Although the craze is but a
month old, it has reached re
markable proportions and has
been the object of denouncement
from several pulpits.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of
the Eastacian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and un
less the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.

NICEST POPULAR NUM0|eRS
Seven and Thirteen Ars Fixed
in the Minds of tho Greater
Number of Men.
i _
“Ask a man to pick out some num
ber between one and ten, and you can
tell him nine times out of ten what
i number he has selected, though his se
lection is made mentally,” said a man
who, according to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat, is fond of the old
things, “and when you come to think
of it, the task of naming the correct
number is not a difficult one. In the
course of an hour the other day S
asked ten men to think of a certain
number—any number between one and
ten—and I would tell them what num
ber they had fined their mind on.
In nine cases out of ten I was correct,
missing It only once. The minds ot
nine of the persons selected the num
ber seven, and one of them selected
nine. It is not difficult to understand
why the mind should run to the num
ber seven. Even in the case of the
man who fixed his mind on the num
ber nine, he told me when It was all
over that his mind had first run to
■even, but he quickly changed to nine
without knowing just why it was that
he changed. Seven is the most prom
inent figure between one and ten. It
is the most popular number in the line,
and is assoaiated with more things
than any other number, and it is quite
reasonable that the mind should light
on seven. I made another test the
other day with five persons, asking each
of them to write some number between
one and ten, and give it to a sixth per
son. When the slips had been handed
to the sixth man I said: ‘Seven is ths
number on each of the slips.’
" ‘Correct,” said the man to whom
they had been handed, and the five
men were a bit bewildered for the
moment by the fact that they had all
hit upon the same number, and that I
1 was able to tell what the number was.
It would be quite as easy to name a
number between 10 and 20, though I
have made no tests along this line. I
dare say that 13 would be the first
number to flash la the mind, simply
because it is the most talked of, and
the only number between 10 and 20
that has the widest association. So
you can tell there is no trick about it,
•ad it doesn’t require any knowledge
of the occult philosophies.”
EXTENDING BOUNDARIES.
Some of Our Larger Cities Have An
nexed Ground Far Into Adja
cent Farm Lands.
\
According to a recently Issued census
bulletin, the real rank of cities is not al
ways indicated by the order in which
they stand in the tables of papulation.
Some great centers have a considerable
part of their massed population lying
outside the municipal boundaries. Bos
ton is a good example; about 1 200,000
people live in sight of the state honse
dome, and less than 600,000 of them are
governed by the Boston mayor. Other
cities have annexed far into the farm
lands of the adjacent country, says
Youth’s Companion.
It Is customary to speak of the popula
tion of a state, “in proportion to its
size.” Such a comparison is seldom
made of cities, although It might not be
uninteresting. Pittsburg, for example,
has a population of a third of a million
on 18,000 acres of ground; New York’s
population, little more than ten times
as great, spreads over uearly 12 times
as many acres.
Chicago was long famous for Its an
nexation habit, but since 1890 New York
has annexed much more territory than
Chicago's total area. New Orleans has
a slightly larger area than Chicago.
Each of them covers six times the area
of Baltimore.
Washington, which occupies the Mary
land part of the ten miles square set
aside for a national capital, is a rair
si7>id city as area goes, for this genera
tion. It may seem small a century hence,
although it looked abundantly amplefor
all the purposes of urban development
whan lnfrt nut
Id the case of cities, as well as of other
corporations, consolidation is plainly
or.,? of the tendencies of the times. More
than one-third of those in the United
States have added to their territory' by
annexation since 1890. Townships and
counties are occasionally subdivided, by
reason of local interests, but the cities
'»“m to be steadily pushing their boun
daries outward. There are some eco
nomic reasons for this but the reason
In many cases has been the desire of
their inhabitants to make a "good show
•ug.”

In the Bight Boom.
At the latest of the ladies’ clubs a
‘pets’ room.” with little stalls for dogs
and cats, lemurs and lizards, all th*
small creatures that a lady finds neces
sary as companions, Is provided.
One of the most enthusiastic members
was showing her friends of her own sex
over the establishment, and opened the
door of the “pets’ room with proper !
>ride. 1
There, in the center of the room, on
two chairs, sat two immaculately
clothed young men, grave of face, hut
with a wicked twinkle in their eyes.
‘‘Don't you know this is the lathes
‘pets’ room?’ ” asked the enthusiastic
member, with some acerbity.
“That’s why we are here," replied th«
more serious of the two young men, with
becoming gravity.—Sporting Times.
Longevity of Birds.
Small singing birds live from eight to
eighteen years. Ravens have lived for
almost 100 years in captivity, and par
rots longer than that. Fowls live II
20 years. The wild goose lives up- j
ward of 100 years, and swans are said u
have attained the age of 300. The long
life ot birds baa been interpreted at
compensation for the (/Ml mortality
