dans a.-.- ( ‘ [different or doubtful value
and th - j . it ient rapidly sinks under the
disease. 'The wisest course is to apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first app trance of {he 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 m- i 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
the first stages of kidney disease. It is
equally efficacious in sevpre 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.

INDEPENDENT’S
BABY CONTEST.

Here is the proposition and the
rules governing the contest:
There is a handsome $25.00
isolid gold locket with diamond
setting and solid gold chain, on
display at the Palace Jewelry
store, to be given away Decem
ber 24th, 1904, to the baby boy
or girl under two years of age,
1 who wins the highest number of
votes as the prettiest and sweet
est baby. Now the baby that is
. not pretty is surely sweet, and
if the wee tot be a little cross at
{times, beauty must offset this
badness. Fond parents at least
are expected to think their ba
| bies are both sweet and beauti
ful, and so they do. But to set
1 tie once for all the claims of the
\ ujjder two, and put at rest this
rivalry of mothers and fathers,
the Independent has inaugurated
a contest that ifc to be determined
by that cherisrted right, popular
ballot, and in' accordance with
the following rules:
