T IS but a few years since Insurance Companies insisted on a chemical analysis of the fluids of the body of ' applicants desiring insurance in large amounts. Now, every | applicant must undergo such examination, no matter how small the amount of insurance asked for. The Insurance Compani¢s have learned wisdom by experience. They know for a | certainty that the only sure way of detecting Bright’s disease in its | first stage is by a chemical analysis and they govern themselves ac- | cordingly. Many men applying for insurance and finding them- selves rejected are dumfounded when told that they have kidney | discase. Why? Because they look and feel well, suffer no pain, | and have a good appetite. But the unerring microscope in the | hands of the intelligent physician has unmistakably shown the be- | ginning of the end, unless repaired, of the breaking down of the deli- | cate tissues of the kidneys. Happily, if taken in time, there is a | cure for kidney disease. We say this with entire confidence, be- | cause thousands have so testified, and hundreds have obtained life | insurance following a course of Warner'’s Safe Cure, after having | previously been rejected because of incipient Bright's disease. Men, | do not leave your dear ones dependent through your own careless- | ness! . | Write Warper's Safe Cure Co., Rochester, N. Y., today for free sample of | Werner's Safe and full particulars how to proceed to secure am absolutely correct microscopical examination. | [ | | IMPRISON CLERK D LT SHE Burglars Raid Kansas City Office and Use Dynamite, —_—— —_— VANCOUVER, B.

TRYING TO BURN OIL IN STOVES Interesting Expsriments in Liquid Fuel That May Increase Boom. Natural Gas Reported to Have Been Found in Calaveras County—Thor- * ough Exploitation of Summer- land District Possible. Experiments are being made in this city which may result in finding a way to burn crude petroleum safely and ad- vantageously in stoves for household pur- poses. An inventor thinks he has figured out the solution of this problem, If his invention proves successful, the effect will be of great importance. If the household cooking and other domestic necessities can be served by using petroleum the de- mand for crude ofl would become im- mense. Since the Invention was first brought to notice several changes have been made in jt as the result of sugges- tlon after practical tests. The outcome of further experiments will be watched with interest by many who understand the sig- nificance of the proposition involved in them. An ‘experiment is about to be tried in the Kern County flelds in the way of pumping wells with compressed _air. Messrs. Spellacy and C. 8. Young have Just returned from Corsicana, Texas, where such work has been done. They were satisfled it was proving a success in Texas. The principleis the creation of an argificlal gusher. Compressed alr is led to the bottom of the hole. On being re- leased, it struggles to reach the surface, forcing the ofl upward in the passage. One of the Kern River companies, 50 says the Californian, is about to adopt the pro- cees. Oll 1s re orted to have been discovered north of Spokane, Wash., in a creek on the Peterson ranch and in springs on the place. Another ofl company has been organized in Chico—the Chico Commercial Ofl Com- pany—which has secured a tract of 1080 acres adjoining the lands of the Grando Chico Company. The directors are J. A. McFeeley, A. G. Eames, W. J. Costar, Thomas Bicknall, J. C. Daly, N. T. Crew and Al Abrahams, State Mineralogist Cooper says Monte- rey County is one of the great coming dis- tricts of the State. “The sands go down at a high angle and are well covered,” he affirms. Sixty-seven carloads of oil are reported to have been shipped out of the Coalinga district between the 1st and the 12th of March. There is a water well, says the Hanford Journal, one mile west from Huron that blows gas so the noise can be heard 100 feet from the well. Oil men have been | persuaded to look at the well and size up | the locality. A new territory is about to be exploited | by sinking a well on the southwest quar- | District. Deeds have been executed in the great- est deal ever completed in the Whittier | field. Mrs. Dolores Sausinena sold to a | syndicate a tract of 400¢ acres lying in the Puente hills, eas: Vhittier.

Now there are in Southern Cali- fornia many Eastern capitalists who have come to the coast for the sole purpose of acquiring oil land.

A person contracts a cold, pneumonia, rheumatism and pleurisy from exposure; dyspepsia and liver troubles from dietary errors, and the causes of most diseases are easily traceable, but although piles and rectal troubles are as common as any of these the ciuse is obscure. Violent exertion, as in lifting, sometimes produces them, and a sedentary occupa- tion is by some supposed to be a predis- PpoSing cause, but as a rule piles and rec- tal troubles appear without apparent provocation. There are many pile salves and oint- ments which give temporary relief, and when these fail tke patient, if he can af- ford the expense and is willing 10 take the risk, has recourse to a surgical oper- ation. But there is one remedy which gives immediate reilef and the regular use of which will bring about a perma- nent cure, and that is the well-known Pyramid Pile Cure. n long-standing cases the Pyramid has proven to be the only cure except a dan- gerous and exceedlnsly painful surgical operation, and its advantag kind of operation are many, it is less, causes no interference cupation and being in ository is always convenient and ready For use, . The mid Plle Cure {s an effective combination of soothing oils and antisep- tio acids. It contains no cocaine nor nerve destroying oplates, and, uniike most pile salves, contains no bi-chloride of meroury nor any Injurious drug of any kind. All druggists sell the Pyramid Pile Cure at 50 cents for a complete treatment of the suppositories, A little book on cause and cure of piles will be mailed free by addressing Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall,” Mich.

It will cure chapped hands and lips in a night. ‘It will soften and improve any complexion. It will heal sores, cure baby rash, and remove dandruff. It is more soothing than cold cream, more healing than any lotion, liniment or salve. more beautifyine than any cosmetic. It is abso- lutely PURE. — MUNYON it ,(mu I In order that the price may not prevent any oe from using this soap, druggists have been authorized to sell the regular 25 cent size for 15 cents, and the trial size for 5 cents, sent by mail on receipt of price. P. S.—1I regard Soap as a Medicine. It affects the whole human system. - It either benefits or injures. The pores of the body take into the system more or less of the soap, and the blood carries the same to every organ of the body. Therefore it is important that people should use only soap that is free from poisonous fats and danger- ous alkalies. The time ‘will ccme when scientists will discover that many diseases have been transmitted by the use of impure soaps. I want the public to have the same confidence in my soap that they have in my Rheumatism Cure or my Cold Cure. [know that my Rheumatism Cure will relieve almost any rheumatic pain in from one to three hours, and will cure in a few days, just as surely as | know that my -Cold Cure will cure colds in the head, colds on the lungs, new colds, old colds, and obstinate colds, and will prevent Grippe, Pneumonia and Diphtheria. I not only know it, but thousands of people who have been cured over the country know it, just as they know that my Dyspepsia Cure and other Remedies do all that I claim for them.
