Thc first sig- nal comes from the back with numer- ous aches and pains. The second signal in the Kid- ney tions. urine is thin and pale, or too highly colored, and showing a “brick-dust like” deposit. Urination is infrequent, too frequent or excessive. You should heed these danger sig- nals before chronic complications set in—Diabetes, Dropsy, Bright’s Dis- ease. Take Doan’s Kidney Pills in time and the cure is simple. J. F. Wainwright, of the firm of Bones & Wainwright, painters and contractors, Pulaski, Va., says: “Four or five times a year for the past few years I have suffered with severe at- tacks of pain in my back, caused from kidney trouble. During these spells I was in such misery from the constant pain and aching that it was almost im- possible for me to stoop or straighten and it really seemed as if the whole small of my back had given away. At times I also had difficulty with the kidney secretions which were discol- ored, irregular and scalding, and I was also greatly distressed with headaches and dizziness. I used a number of recommended remedies but I never found anything so successful as Doan’s Kidney Pills. When I heard of them I bad an attack and procured a box of them. In a few days the pain and lameness disappeared, the trouble with the kidney secretions was rected and my system was improved generally. I have every confidence in Doan’s Kidney Pills.” ° A FREE TRIAL of this great kid- ney medicine which cured Mr. Wain- wright will be mailed to any part of the United States on application.

The Difference. “What's the difference between the Tramps’ Protective association and a golf fiend?” “Well?” “Why, one links the tramps and the other tramps the links.”—Princeton Tiger. About Railway Brakes. The fundamental principle govern- ing the application of a brake to a car, says an engineer who has recently in- vestigated the subject, is to stop short at the point where the wheels begin to slip or “skid.” When this occurs it not only flattens the wheel, but effect- ive braking ceases. “Skidding,” how- ever, ought not :to occur in practice, for, by the use of sand, cars may be stopped as quickly as is consistent with the passengers’ safety without reaching the sliding point. Sometimes, even, the cars stop too quickly for comfort, and “it looks,” as a critic says in an electrical journal, “as if any material increase in brake effi- ciency would have to be followed by putting the passengers into padded compartments.” Hand brakes are nd to be quite ineffective, and most of the brakes on trolley cars are hard- ly powerful enough to secure perfect safety.—Success. ‘ QUIT AND EAT. Some Coffee Tables. Show a woman an easy, comforta- ble and heajthy way to improve her complexion and she is naturally in- terested. Coffee is the one greatest enemy of fair women, for in the most of cases it directly affects the stomach, pro- ducing slight, and sometimes great congestion of the liver and therefore causing the bile to be absorbed into the system instead of going its nat- ural way. The result is a sallow, muddy skin, and a train of diseases of the different organs of the body which, in all to meny cases, develop into chronic diseases. A lady speaking of how coffee af- fected her says: “I was very fond of coffee but while drinking it was un- der the care of a doctor most of the} |to various public institutions and char- | time for liver trouble, and was com- pelled to take blue mass a great deal of the time. My complexion was bad and I had a pain in my side steadily, probably in the liver. “When I concluded to quit coffee and take Postum Food Coffee [ had it made carefully and from the very first cup we liked the taste of it bet- ter than any of the old coffee. “In a short time the pain left my side and my friends began to com- ment on the change in my complexion and general looks. I have never seen anything equal to the good I got from making this change. “A young lawyer in Philadelphia named ——, whose life was almost a burden from indigestion and its train of evils, quit coffee some months ago and began on Postum Food Coffee, He quickly recovered and is now well, strong and cheerful and naturally loud in his praises of Postum. “Another friend, an old gentleman of seventy, named ——, who for years suffered all one could suffer and live, from dyspepsia, and who sometimes for weeks could eat no bread or solid food, only a little weak gruel or milk, quit coffee upon my recommendation and took up Postum. He began to get better at once. Now he can eat rich pastry or whatever he likes and is perfectly well.” Names given by Postum Co., Bat; tle Creek, Mich. cor- | IT’S HARD TO AGREE. Separation of Swedish and Norwegian Consular Service a Difficult Task. The Swedish-Norwegian commison which is working out @ plan for an in- dependent consular service for each country has struck a hard knot. The commission has agreed upon a separa- tion of the consular service and also that the relation of these services shall he ordered by parallel laws, which can- not be altered or repealed without the approval of both governments. But regarding the terms of these laws it is impossible to agree. The Swedish commissioners agree that the present system is not in accord with Norway’s demand for equality in the union. They are willing to recom- mend that the act of union be amend- ed so that either a Swede or a Norwe- gian can be named as foreign minister, and that he shall be responsible to the supreme legislative body of both coun- tries. From the Norwegian side there seems to be an unwillingness to pro- ceed along these lines for fear the agreement will be considered binding. The Norwegians are not willing to consider the matter relating to the for- eign minister and the diplomats. While nothing has been said in ex- press terms, it is apparent that Nor- way in the near future will begin a campaign for the separation of the dip- lomatic service, and will demand the creation of her own foreign office. The papers such as Dagbladet and the In- telligenssedlerne maintain the nego- tiations are not ended by the present commission; they are only begun. The indications are that in view of the determined attitude of Norway the two countries will ratify a report of the commission relating solely to the consular question. CENTRAL CUT OUT, Automatic Telephone Switchboard In- vented by Stockholm Man. Engineer G. A.» Betlunder of the ;Stockholm telephone system has con- structed an automatic telephone switch which has proved satisfactor) in actual use. The apparatus is in- 2losed in a small box which is hung on the wall. Every subscriber who has connection with an exchange supplied with the switch has a register num- bered from 0 to 9, and when it is de- sired to call a number an indicator is simply turned to the corresponding number on the register. If the num- ber of subscribers is more than 9, a sort of multiplication is used; for ex- ample, if 55 is desired, the indica*or is twice turned to No. 5, ete. If the line is busy, one can ascertain the fact by pressing a little button on the ap- paratus, when a clicking sound is heard. When the long-distance tele- phone it used it breaks the local ¢on- nection, It is not possible for an out- sider to listen to anything said over the phone, as connection cannot be made while the line is in operation. NATIONAL SPORTING MEET. All, Scandinavian Nations Invited Join in Stockholm Event. Invitations have been extended to Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and Fin- nish athlétic and gymnasium clubs to participate in the national sport tour- nament to take place in Stockholm from May 28 to June 1. The tourna- ment is given under the patronage of the crown prince. Princes Gustaf Adolf and Carl, Grand Gov. Dickson, Counsellor of State C. von Friesen, Lieut. Gen. H. Gadde and Prof. L. M Turngren are honorary members. For the arrangement of the large number of exhibitions and competitions a com- mittee is now at work, Lieut. Col. Black chairman. In the program are included competitions and exhibitions in fencing, running races, jumping contests, football and bicycle riding. The tournament will be held in Idrott- sparken, Stockholm. to How to Observe a Birthday. Christian Bors, formerly Swedish jand Norwegian consul at New York, celebrated his eightieth birthday on March 21 by distributing 35,000 kroner ities in Bergen. To the public library he gave 10,000 kroner, and 1 0 kro- ner for a new life-saving vessel. In addition he gave 1,000 kroner each tq the. workingmen’s home, Bergen’s home for the aged, to Lyster's sanato- rium and a like sum for furnishing Bergen’s forestry association, the school ship Bjorgoin, the coast hospi- tal at Haegerviken, the Magdalena heme, the seaman’s home in Chris- tiania, the anti-beggary society in Christiania, the,home for cripples at Christiania, and Drammen’s Aid soci- ety. He also gave 3,000 kroner for the public charities of Bergen and 500 kroner to the poor in Asker. On the same day a bust of Herr Bors by Miss Ambrosia Tonnensen was unveiled in the Bergen art gallery. Miners Laid’ Off at Malmberget. Reports indicate that there will be a considerable reduction in the forees employed in the mines at Malmberget, near Gellivare. Two hundred and twenty-five miners have been notified that their services Will not be further required. “ It is also stated that Swedish capi- talists from Norrland have purchased the Schebo works for 4,000,000 crowns. Schebo is located in the province of Stockholm. Besides ore mining, there are operated a smelter, roller mill and mechanical workshop. > ARE THEY SPIES? Russian Saw-filers in Sweden Are Viewed With Suspicion. The Russian saw-filers, which were so numerous in Sweden last year and were generally thought to be spies sent out by the Russian government to make maps of the country and to secure information concerning its de- fenses, seem to have transferred their operations to Norway. A repre- sentative of Dagsposten recently met one of these saw-filers there. The Russian was well dressed and intelli- gent, and in no, way appeared to be- long to the Russian working class. Judging from the number of these saw-filers which have appeared in Scandinavia within the past few years, it would seem that saw filing is a fe- vorite occupation in Russia. ERICSSON CENTENARY. Statue of Famous Inventor to Be Un- veiled as Part of Célebration. The one hundredth anniversary of the birth of John Ericsson occurs on July 31. Ten years ago a statue of the famous inventor was erected in Battery Park, New York, and every. year since then the Swedish-Ameri- cans of New York have met there on the anniversary and celebrated the event. A new and larger statue has bten presented to the city of New York by Jonathan Scott Hartley (who also executed the Old statue, but with which he has never been quite sai}- fied), and the same will be unveiled on the one hundredth anniversary. ONE CENT A DAY. Evangelical Lutherans Will Raise $1,- 000,000 for Charity. At a meeting of representatives of various charitable institutions within the Evangelical Lutheran churches of the general synod of America, held at York, Pa., recently, it was decided to establish «a joint charity fund. For this purpose it is proposed to request of each member of the synod a gift of 1 cent per day for one year. It is esti- mated that $1,000,000 can be collected in this manner. Bjornson’s Germanic Bund. Bjornstjerne Bjornson, the Norwe- gian dramatist, politician and writer, has two-thirds of a page of the Tage- blatt of April 8 on one of his favorite ideas, an ethnological and _ political trust of all the Germanic peoples, in which he includes the United States, : Germany, England, Austria, Scandina- : via, Denmark, The Netherlands and Switzerland. Such an alliance, he con- tends, would impose peace on the world. Bjornson closes the devélop- ment of his idea with a severe criti- cism of Prussia’s severe treatment of the Danes in Schleswig-Holstein, in trying to destroy their language and nationality. Denmark May Let Go. A telegram from Copenhagen states that it is rumored in political circles there that the commission which the government sent to the Danish West Indies has sent home some very pessi- mistic reports regarding the political and economic future of the islands if they are to remain in possession of Denmark. It would therefore appear to be but a question of time until the Danish government will be ready to sell the islands to the United States. All Aboard for North Pole. The Amundsen North pole expedi- tion will start May 1. All the mem- bers of the expedition have been se- lected except a doctor. The ship, named Gjoa, is at Moss, and is about in readiness for the long and danger- ous journey. Capt. Amundsen has just returned from Potsdam and has received self-registering magnetic in- struments, which are now being test- ed. Danish Official Gazette. The Danish minsiter of the interior has announced that hereofter there will be published, in accordance with a recently enacted law, an official pa- per, called Stats Tidenden, in which legal notices and official announce- ments will be published. In the paper will also appear such matters as the government desires to convey to the public. Herring in Great Shoals. Herring fishing at Haugesund, Nor- way, is reported unusually good. The herring come in great shoals, se great, indeed, that the like has never been seen before. From Kristiansund it is also report- ed that the fishing is uncommonly ex- cellent and fish are plentiful. Norwegian Paper Works. The Katfos pulp works, near Dram- men, Norway, will also make paper. The company has decided to increase its capital by $350,000, all of which is to be devoted to building and equip- ping the paper mills. The subscrip- tions indicate that all of the new stock will be taken. Treasures Couldn’t Be Found. For 500 years enterprising people with a desire to acquire wealth have searched for the three big chests filled with gold, ‘silver and jewels which King Valdemar “Atterday” took from Visby. His vessel, it was believed, foundered off the Karls islands on the western coast of Gothland, and the treasure was lost. Now comes an un- romantic historian and declares that the records show that Valdemar and his treasures reached home in safety. A Master Craftsman.

In a small cafe close to the Grand place, Brussels, the proprietor has had the following notice posted on the walls: “Customers who find the price of drinks somewhat high are requested to address any complaints they may have to make direct to the minister of finance.” This is an allusion to the tax on al- cohol imposed by the minister. As an electioneering device it is almost worthy copying.—London Express. Consults No One. The wonderful arganizing ability of Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan was being dis- cussed among a party of bankers, when one asked: “Do you suppose that he originates all his schemes, as a general does his war maneuvers, and then directs bis associates to put them in execution, or do you think he first consults his part- ners and gets their opinions?” “I do not think that Mr, Morgan ever consults any one,” replied the one who assumed to know. “His will is dom- inant.

Kidney Troubles are the most common cause of ailment, yery few.of the old men escaping these in sonie form or other. Of course the comrades do as much as possible for themselves, and one of the most popular and useful remedies employed is Dodd’s Kidney Pills, which seem to be almost infallible in cases of Kidney derangements. Indeed there are among the vteterans several who claim to owe their lives to Dodd’s Kidney Pills. For instance, A. E.

He had Bright’s Disease, and never expected to live through it, but his. life was saved and his health re- stored by Dodd’s Kidney Pills. “ His experience has made the remedy very popular among the men,and no one who has used Dodd’s Kidney Pills for any Kidney Trouble has been dis- appointed. ‘When a young man wants to get rid of his best girl he should take her skating and let her slide.
