It begins in the morning, when you get up from bed so lame, sore and stiff that it is hard to bend over to put your shoes on, All day there is a heavy, dull, throb- bing pain in the small of the back, just over the kidneys. It hurts to bend over, to lift anything or even to get up from a chalr. Any sudden, nt sends a sharp, through the sore spot When night comes the sufferer retires fo fitful sleep, can't lie comfortable in one position, or turn over without a l’lful effort. on't look at backache as merely a muscular pain, that will pass away with rest. There I8 a deeper trouble. Nine times out of ten it is the kidneys that throb #nd ache, and there can be no re- lef until the kidneys are given help. The kidneys have a big work to do. All the blood in the body is coursing through the kidney fiiters constantly, to bo freed of urlc poisons. It is a heavy enough task when the kidneys are well, bt a cold, chill, fever, or somt thought less exposure, or overindulgence in liquor, tea, beer or cotfee, is likely at any time badkward move- darting twinge Backache Will Get Worse and Worse Until the Kidneys Are Cured.

I could not stoop without suffering from severe pains through my loins and the least work I did tired me. None of the rem- edies 1 tried had any cffect on my com- plaint and my kidneys gradually grew weak, the secretions passing very firreg- ularly.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—(Special.)—Press | aispatches from Valparaiso, Peru, an nounce that there is a report current therc that J. Plerpont Morgan Is organizing a English syndicate with a capital of some thing llke £50,000,000 sterling to cover the nitrate products of the world. The islands | off the Pacific coast of South America have for years furnished practically al thp nitrate deposits of the earth, and Peru and Chili have fought several wars ove the control of some of these islands. The recent death of General W. W. Du ley, former commissioner of pensions, com | binea with a report that Banker Morgar is engaged In a plan to control the nitrates of the world, calls to mind the fact tha: |the so-called Landrcau claim s stiil un | settled. Landreau was an American cit |zen who purchased a concession covering |one of the Peruvian islands rich in guano deposits, and, as it is alleged, was deprived of his holdings. So far back as the days of Secretary Blaine this cldlm was a cause {celebre. It has been a subject of negotia | tion for upwards of three decades, and it 1s alleged that the Geneva tribunal de- cided in favor of Landreau a year or two ago. But the claim has never been settled The original Landreau is dead, his grand son has passed on, and one of his attor- neys, General Dudley, was buried here only last week. General Dudley's surviving partner, General Mitchner, is of the opin lon that the attempt of the Morgan syn dicate to control the nitrate deposits may Possibly result in the ultimate settiement of the Landreau claims, But “manana’ Is the motto of the South American countries and unless some vigorous Knoxlan polley is marked, it may be that several gencra tions will pass away before the Landreau clalm is settled, in spite of the fact that J. Plerpont Morgan is tryiug io control the nitrate deposits of the world. Now It's What is Quart?” President Taft answered the question “What Is whisky" greatly to the satisfac- tion of the gentlemen engaged in combin ing two or three different distillations. At- torney General Bonaparte Insisted that whisky was the direct product of the still with no extraneous substances incorpo- rated. Any product of a rectifying estab- lishment which contalned more or less than | was produced from the distiller's worm was according to Mr. Bonaparte's rullng a com- nound and mot whisky, but President Taft has decided that what is known as whisky | commercial ls whisky official from this time on, and now he and his cabinet are contronted with the question, “What is quart?” The new penal code which went into ef- fect January 1 provides that when liquors whether spirituous, vinous or malt, are shipped from one state to another the pack- age In which they are sent must'in addi- | tion to glving the name of tne consignee, show plalnly on the labels the character of the contents and the quantitics of same. Ordinarilly whisky s put up in bottles five to the gallon. Commercially these bottles are known as quarts, but the ques- ton arfses as to whether or not a ship- ment containing six of these bottles can be designated as six quarts or whether the labels must show that there are exactly six-fifths of a gallon in the package. Ap- parently there 1s no one yet competent to answer that question. The rallroads and the express companies who are held re- a sponsible under heavy penaltles for the transport of shipments improperly labeled have declined to render an opinion, the law officers of the government will not an- swer questlons from partles outside the ex- ecutive departments, and the consequence is that shippers are In a qaundary as to where they stand. It is probable, therefore, that President Taft will have to supple- nient his decision on the question of “What is whisky” by deciding “what Is a quart.” Hit at Butter Trust. Recent press dispatches have asserted that there is a great trust in existence'to control the price of butter. It Is asserted that some of the Chicago houses dealing in dairy products have practically cornered the butter market with the purpose of forcing the price of this household neces- eity to a figure which will net them enor- mous profits, which the consumer must make good. On top of that statement Rep- resentative Burleson of Texas has intro- | duced a bill which will shortly be consid- | ered by the committee on agriculture of the house to reduce the tax on oleomar garine from 10c a pound to %c a pound.
