Zaitlu-Aniorlcnn Countries Rciuly to Irnlcntfl
tho Semite's Action.
City op Mexico, May 21. Tho news
of the passage of tho Cuban belliger
ency x-esolution by tho United Stutes
senate created great interest here,
where tho anti-Spanish sentiment is
still growing stronger and where
the people resent the interference
with tho native press by the
Spanish diplomatic representatives
under its right to demand tho
suppression of newspaper attacks
on Spain couched in violent language.
The recognition of Cuban belligerency
by tho -United States is likely to lead
to similar recognition by the leading
Latin-American countries with the ex
ception of Chill. The pro-Cuban sen
timent in continental America is very
strong and tho governments there aro
onlv awaiting the initiative of tho
United States.

hospital, tho convalescent patient
presents a striking illustration of tho
progress of modern surgery. Local
medical men know of no parallel case.

pressure of tho bones upon the spinal
cord. To-day tho ends that wcro

Decision by the 1'opo Which ItofcxH to
Catholic I'arlnhos Mmlo Up of lToroljrii-
er.
Chicago, May 24. Tho Vatican has
sent to tho Catholic church in the Unit
ed States a decision which has refer
ence to parishes made up of foreigners,
as follows:
First Children born In America of foreign
parents whoso nativo lnnguago Is not English
are not obliged, when of age, to becomo mem
bers of tho parish to which their parents be
long; but they hovo the right to join a parish
in whloh tho lnnguago of tho country that Is,
English Is used.
Second Cathpllcs pot born In America, but
knowing tho English language, have tho right
of becoming members of tho parish in which
English Is in uso, and they cannot bo compelled,
to submit themselves to tho jurisdiction of tho
rector of a church built for pooplo who con
tinue to speak tho language of a foreign coun
try. The evident purpose of Rome is to
make English tho languago of tho
I American church as speedily as possl
j blc and thus to encourage the develop'
ment of a spirit of more perfect union
"among the members of tho Catholic
faith. Parishes in which a foreign
language is used aro tolerated as tem
porary institutions, which will disap
pear as soon as tho conditions making
their erection expedient will have
passed away.

is being made to feel that the people of

thing to be done. Letters urging ac
tion ai'e coming in great numbers. It
is notable that this feeling seems to be
much stronger in tho west than in tho

lar feeling was shown it did not seem
probable that any tiling would bo done
speedily. It cannot be said now that
anything will be done at once. But

GREAT deal of
nonsense has been

lieved; about
blood purifiers.
What purifies the
blood?
THE KIDNEYS
PURIFY W BLOOD
AND THEY ALONE.
If diseased, however, they cannot,
and the blood continually becomes
more impure. Every drop of blood
in the body goes through the kidneys,
the sewers of the system, every tnrce
minutes, night and day, while life
endures.
puts the kidneys in perfect health, and
nature does the rest.
The heavy, dragged out feeling, the
bilious attacks, headaches, ncrvou3
unrest, fickle appetite, all caused by
poisoned blood, will disappear when
the kidneys properly perform their
functions.
There is no doubt about this.
Thousands have so testified. The
theory is right, the cure is right and
health follows as a natural sequence.
Be self-convinced through per
sonal proof.
