Walters, of St. Clair St., Columbus, O.. was literally starving to death. She writes: "My stomach was so wdak from useless drugs that I could not eat, and my nerves so wrecked that I could not sleep; and not before I was given up to die was I induced to try Electric Bitters; with the wonderful re­ sult that improvement began at once, and a complete cure followed."

The cause of an epidemic of typhoid feverv, among the 1.000 inhabitants of Three Oaks,' Mich., was discovered when a member of the board of health climbed to the top of the waterworks stand pipe and found the bodies of thou­ sands of young sparrows, in various stages of decomposition, covering the surface of the water. Young birds from nests on a ledge around the top of the stand pipe are supposed to have fall­ en into the water while trying to fly. Why wouldn't it be a good plan to have the McHenry standpipe cleaned, the authorities to look after it at onoe? Once a year isn't any too often. The Breath of Life. It's a significant fact that the strong­ est animal of its size, the gorilla, also has the largest lungs. Powerful lungs means powerful creatures. How to keep the breathing organs right should be man's chiefest study. Like thousands of others, Mrs. Ora A Stephens, of Port Williams, O., has learned to do this. She writes: "Three bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery stopped my cough of two years and cured me of what my friends thought consumption. O, it's grand for throat and lung troubles." Guaranteed by N.

Eu.l 1 T.LCEMSE: WRONG IN PPIM:IPLJ|H-FLK« EFFECTIVE AS A KKMEDY. ' By Fred T. Wheels, IS LICENSE EFFECTUAL AS A &KM EDY? Low license has been diwar.led by alt. »rof(^wed friend* of teui|M*raiice and now n*ed only where the teui pernio .seutiiutmt is at a very low ebb Th.- results of high license every where have bean well stated by the Chicago Daily- News: "Call high/ license what it is, it is an easy way to raise a revenue from vice, but let there be an end of endorsing it as a temperance or reform measure." We frankly conoede that high license is a success as a revenue measure, providing we. are exc.n*ed from accounting fJ»r rhe cont of caring; for the victims of the traffic. If that is considered, then it is a oolosaal fail­ ure, even for revenue pnrposes. St. Louis Daily Republic said: "These dives (the lowest) are so numerous in the city, their organization is so com­ pact, their clientele so extensive, that as Song as present conditions reuisin they will control the city completely Our present license law was infa nded to break their power, but as far as it applies to St. Louis it has served rather to increase' it." The Omaha Daily Bee, a strong advo­ cate of high license, said: "No one can deny that the license system as now ex­ isting in our city has been a source of corruption and irregularity It has had a demoralizing effect upon members of the city council and the city clerk." The Pittsburg Commercial -Gazette said: "The disregard of the prohibi­ tion law in Maine, Iowa and Kansas, that is a very weighty argument against prohibition, is no more flagrant than the disregard of the high li- ense law in this city '* Statistics taken from the reports of the United States Department of Labor *how that in thirty low license cities the arrests for drunkenness were 1.66 per cent of the population, while in thirty-three high license cities the per centage increased to 2 10 per cent, thus disproving one of the main arguments for higb license. Statistics compiled from official data in Massachusetts show that the 55 per cent of the people of that state that live under "license" furnish 86 per cent of the crime of the state, while the 45 per cent of the people living under no license furnish only 20 per cent of the crime. Surely a striking indictment of the efficiency of license of any charac­ ter. What do the brewers and distillers say about the efficiency of high license in destroying their business? Peter B. lies, the most prominet distiller of Ne­ braska, wrote: "Higb licetase has cot hurt our business, but, on the contrary, has been a great benefit to it, as well as to the people generally. I do not think higb license lessens the quantity of liquor used." Wietz & Bros., orew- ers of Nebraska, wrote: "High license has been of no injury to our business." Shufeldt & Co , distillers of Chicago, when asked if high license had hurt their business, responded: "We think not. We think that high license is the only remedy for prohibiton." Bear in mind the above candid opinions were written confidentially to supposed friends, and you get their full signifi­ cance. Statistics almost without limit might be submitted to prove that li­ cense of any character does not decrease the consumption of liquor, and that is the true and only test, for it is the con­ sumption of it, after all, that does the mischief, and not the manufacture, the transportation, nor even the sale. My countrymen: The death knell of governmental partnership in the Ikjuor traffic is already sounding. The major­ ity of patriotic American citizens are already convinced that the American flag should no longer wave over murder mills and death traps set by the govern­ ment to catch the wetk, the debased and the criminal. We are now simply waiting for the clock to strike twelve, for Bome firing on Fort Sumter, which is scheduled in God's plan to arouse, awaken and solidify the American peo­ ple, when we shall march to victory just as surely and certainly as is the KIDNEY CURE Cures Kidney and Blad­ der Diseases In Every Form--Many People Have Kidney Trouble and Do Mot Know It. - HOW TO FIND OUT; It is the function of the kidneya to filter and purify the blood which ia constantly passing through them. When the kidneys are out of order the other organs are affected immediately and you may have symptons of heart trouble, stomach and liver trouble, and other ailments , which are all owing to the kidneys being weak and out of order. If yon are sick Foley's Kidney Cure will strengthen and build up the worn out tissues of the kidneys so they will act properly and the symptons of weakness, heart, stomach and liver trouble will disappear and yon will bo restored to perfect health. New to Tell If You Have Kidney TreaMo. You can easily determine if your kid* neys are out of order by setting aside for 24 hours a bottle of the urine passed upon arising. If upon examination it ia cloudy or milky or has a brick-dust sed­ iment or small particles float about in it, your kidneys are diseased and Foley's Kidney Cure should be taken at once. Foley's Kidney Cureiis pleasant to take and acts directly upon the parts affected and you begin to toA better at onoe. It corrects slight disorders in a few days and it has cured many obstinate cases after other treatment had failed. Doctors Said He Would Not Live. Peter Frey, of Woodruff, Pa., writes: "After doctoring for two years with the best physicians in Waynesburg, and still getting worse, the doctors advised me if I had any business to attend to I had bet­ ter attend to it at once, as I could not possibly live another month, as there was no cure for me. Foley's Kidney Cure was recommended to me by a friend, and I immediately sent my son to the store for it and after taking three bottles I be­ gan to get better and continued to lm* prove until I was entirely well."
