Government Expenses.
Things are all relative. Presi
dent Madison was excoriated
because his administration cost
one hundred and forty-four mil
lion six hundred thousand dol
lars, or an average of eighteen
million dollars a year, and Mr.
Polk was excoriated because in
the four years of his administra
tion, and exclusive of payments
on account of the public debt,
his administration cost some
thing more than two hundred
million dollars, and $25,000,000
of this was used to pay for what
was then called “the vast bar
I rr=^l fr=*n if 11—* n n=>o r=»n ip^n fr~ n r-^ii r
ren wastes of desert and moun
tain in Mexico,” or rather for
| .jurisdiction to the imperial gov
ernment at Washington over
such a country, and over the
! sparse and wretched population
, that vegetates upon it.” If the
fathers of those days were alive
today and see our administration
costing one billion dollars, no
doubt they would believe that
the world was coming to an end.
Billion dollar congresses are be
coming commonplace with us,
and merely means the ordinary
expenses of government. Many
other millions are required
to pay the extraordinary ex
penses of government.—Mem

Here is a good one and we
score one for the Jew: “A Jew
was riding on the street car and
when a lady entered arose to
give her his seat. The lady hesi
tated a moment and a big Amer
ican sat down in it. The man
probably felt uncomfortable and
looking up at the Jew said, ‘You
look as if you would eat me up.’
The Jew replied, ‘No, my relig
ion forbids.’ ”—Ex.

HELPLESS AS BABY
Down in Mind Unable to Work,
and What Helped Her.
Summit Point, W. Va.—Mis. Anna
Belle Emey, of this place, says: “I suf
fered for 15 years with an awful pain in
my right side, caused from womanly
trouble, and doctored lots for it, but with
I out success. 1 suffered so very much,
that I became down in mind, and as help
less as a baby. 1 was in the worst kind
of shape, was unable to do any work.
1 began taking Cardui, the womar’s
tonic, and got relief from the very first
dose. By the time I had taken 12 bot
tles, my health was completely restored.
1 am now 48 years years old, but reel as
good as I did when only 16.
Cardui certainly saved me from losing
my tnind, and I teel it my duty to speak
in its favor. I wish 1 had some power
over poor, suffering women, and could
make them know the good it would do
them.”
If you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, it will certainly be
worth your while to give Cardui a trial.
It has been helping weak women for
more than 50 years, and will help you,
too.
Try Cardui. Your druggist sells it

A PHYSICIAN'S DIAGNOSIS 01
KIDNEY TROUBLE.
A Seemingly Common Disease
which Becomes Fatal tnrough
Neglect and which May Be
Readily Cured by Prompt At
tention. j
More than two-thirds of the annual ,
death rate, physicians claim, is directly
traceable to kidney disorders.
Interested by this remarkable asser
tion and desiring to acquire a better un
derstauding of the origin of the disease,
a prominent physician was recently in
terviewed as to the symptoms of such
troubles.
“To what do you attribute the great
destructiveness of kidney disease?” was
asked.
“The hold which the disease gains in
the body before the victim becomes aware j
of his true condition, and the rapidity ;
with which it eats its way into the vital
organs.” -
“Would not the proverbial ‘ounce oi ^
prevention’ check the progress of the
disease?”
“There is no doubt of it. The trouble j
is that victims of this disease mistaKe
j (he symptoms for some trifling aliment
! in the stomach or bowels; therefore they
j do nothing to arrest the course of the
disease until it is well advanced.”
“What is the origin of kidney trouble?’ j
“Almost invariably bad digestion, fol I
lowed by torpid iiver and a con^Lipatel i
| uami.
“What are the symptoms?”
“Headache, dizzy spells, sluggish
brain, restless nights, pale or sallow
skin, bad breath, lack of appetite- heart
burn, sour belching, backache or tender
ness over the kidneys, nervous weak
ness, dark rings around the eyes, tired ,
feeling, too much or too little urine, and
sediment in urine.”
ITS EFFECT OX THE HEART.
“In what way is the heart affected from
kidney trouble?” • ;■
“In all cases the heart is disturbed,
♦hough in many instances the palpita
| tion does not become alarming until the '
l disease has advanced to a serious point.
A severe heart throbbing and nervous
trembling is noticeable, especially aftet !
a little bodily exercise; the victim fre- ;
queutly imagines he has heart disease.’'
HOW TO CURE IT.
“What is the proper course of treat
ment for kidney disease?”
“First, to get rid of uric acid and other
poison3 in the system. This can be done
by stimulating the bladder and bowels j
so that they will act more freely. The !
suffering kidneys must be strengthened,;
the liver and stomach toned up and the
digestion improved.”
Prickly Ash Bitters is a remedy that
answers these requirements completely.
It is not only a system tonic and regu
lator, but its healing and restorative in
Ifluence will build up the weakened kid
neys and urge them to a better perform
ance of their duties. It gives strength
and tone to the liver, stomach and heart
and promotes harmony of action through
out the body.
M. W. Burr, village blacksmith and respected
citizen of Starks, La., says: "I was troubled with
kidney and liver disorder for 18 years. I was in
continual misery until I began taking Prickly
Ash Bitters which has entirely cured me, and l
am now a strong, healthy and hearty man. \
give it to my wife and four children and they ar'
in the best of health, too. I feel that Prickly Asi
Bitters is the best remedy on earth and thai
everybody should keep a bottle at home."
