Six Doctors Failed.
South Bend , I ml. . Sept. 25. ( Spe
cial. ) After suffering from Kidney
Disease for three years , after taking
treatment from six different doctors
"without getting relief , Mr. J. O. Laude-
man of this place found not only relief
but a speedy and complete cure in
Dodd's Kidney Pills. Speaking of hid
cur . Mr. Liudeinan : says :
"Yes , I suffered from Kidney Trou
ble for three years and tried six doc
tors to no good. Then 1 took just two
boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they
not only cured my kidneys , but gave
'me ' better health in general. Of course
il recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills to
others and 1 know a number now who
41 re using them with go : > d results. "
Mr. Laudeman's case is not an ex
ception. Thousands give similar expe
riences. For there never yet was a
c-ase of Kidney Trouble from Backache

* iey Pills could not cure. They are the

OPINIONS OF GREAT PAPERS ON IMPORTANT SUBJECTS
Unde Sam's Digestive Powers.
BOUT one million steerage passengers arrived
in the United States , looking for homes or
work , during the fiscal year that ended June 30.
This wipes out all past records. The largest
number arriving in any previous year was 857-
040 , during the twelve months ending June ,
3003.
Now that immigration has reached the 1,000,000 mark ,
it is small wonder that the authorities are redoubling their
vigilance. The time has come to censorize the increasing
stream of immigration under rules that will notvorlc
! -with undue harshness and yet will fully protect the na
tion. These steerage immigrants have more brawntthan
money , but poverty is not alone a good cause for rejection.
A large proportion of present sturdy American citizens be
gan at tiie very foot of the industrial ladder.
The portentous feature of the case is that the immense
! volume of Immigration comes largely from Southern and
Eastern Europe , instead of from the sturdier races pf the
' north and west. The latter are still coming , but their
number is dwarfed by an avalanche of less desirable immi-
! grants , with almost startling averages of illiteracy and
poverty. The present volume of immigration is equal in
1 one yoar to the total population of a good many preten
tious States of the American Union. The steerage outjput ,
in a single year , is greater than the population of &ny
American city except New York , Chicago and Philadeliirga.

Waste and Graft in Life insurance.
IFE insurance companies , whether inanager.by ] |
stock companies or not , are essentially inuiual
enterprises. The policy-holders pay in all the
[ money , and they should take it all out again.
I plus interest and less the legitimate expenses
I of management. In no other sense should there
be either profit or loss in the business.
Anything that does not make for the benefit of the
policy-holder is by that very fact condemned. It Is essen
tially wasteful. Mere bigness is of no advantage to the
policy-holders , beyond the point necessary to protect the
company against abnormal variations from the average
death rate. Heavy expenditures merely for the sake of
Increasing business are , therefore , wasteful. We read of
the extravagant commissions to hustling agents , of the
scandalous and illegal "rebate" system , of the rage for de
ferred dividend policies at high premiums , whereby a big
surplus can be accumulated. All wasteful. The atmos
phere of bigness encourages a disproportionately large
number of very big salaries and breeds temptations to the
grafting official and director. It is , of course , not the big
ness Itself that is wasteful , but the rage to get big at
'whatever cost.
Policy-holders' investigations , If thorough , may drive
out-grafters , but they will not be nearly so effective against
wasteful systems of managing the business. For both pur
poses regulation and inspection by the Federal Government
is highly important. The possible difficulties in the way
should not deter Congress from a serious effort to bring
about radical changes in present conditions. Chicago Rec

Missionaries and Hie War.
REMARKABLE change in the .ittMurt * of
Japanese ollicers and soldiers toward Christian
missionaries has taken place within a few
month * . When the war with Russia began the
Japanese Government opposed any effort to
propagate our religion by approaching the army
in the campaign or on the field. But it did not
debar the missionaries from proffering courtesies to the
troops on their way to the front , and when they paused
for a few hours at cities like Okayama missionaries went in
and out among them in a human rather than a profes
sional way , evincing their own loyalty to Japan , comfort
ing and cheering the soldiers , offering those who would
take them , attractive leaflets and copies of the Scripture.
Thus a bond of sympathy was created between the natives
and foreigners , and to one of the women missionaries of
the American Board a soldier sent back a short time after
from the front a letter saying :
"I am from Sendai , and all my life I have been a bitter
opponent of the Christian religion. I have regarded it as

The Rnler of Morocco Has a Passion
for Bicycles and Motor Cars.
One of the weaknesses of the Sul
tan of Morocco , writes Cunningham
Graham , who has visited Morocco sev
eral tirues is his passion for things
that are supposed to represent our so-
called European progress. lie goes in
for motor cars , red hansom cabs , gold-
handled bicycles , gold cameras , grand
pianos and other things that he doesn't
really want , lie has never been to
Europe , but foreign visitors stimulate
his curiosity in these things and he
orders them sometimes on a wholesale
scale. I saw about 200 bicycles when
I was at the palace at Fez , some of
the most expensive and elaborate
make , with gold and silver fittings.
He is the smartest bicyclist I have
ever seen. He could earn a good liv
ing In Europe as a trick rider. I have
seen him manipulate the machine
standing on the pedals all the time.
He delights to ride full speed up nar
row" Inclined planks.
He drives a motor in the most reck
less way. I rode with him in one of
his cars once , but refused all other in-
ritations. It did not feel safe.
As an instance of his child-like cu
riosity in "the toys of Europe , " Mr.
Graham said that he was with the Sul
tan once on a tax-gathering expedi
tion. A troop of soldiers accompanied ,
as usual. The party wag overtaken by
three camels hearing pianos the Sul
tan had ordered. His majesty had one
of them unpacked in the rain and sat
down before , it with all a child's de
light. A fc\r weeks later Mr. Harris
saw the same piano at the palace ,
rusty from the rain , and besprinkled
Trlth sand , looking like a discarded toy.
Passive resistors are not tolerated in
Morocco , Mr. Graham went on , resum
ing his account of the tax-gathering
expedition. The Sultan has a short
way with passive reslsters. If any of
only evil , and as a lover of my country felt it iny duty tc
do all in my power to hinder its progress. I had the samt
feeling when I came to Okayama ; but when I heard you
speak so kindly to us soldiers , and say that you and othei
Christians were going to pray for us , It quite broke mj
heart , and I went into the corner of the waiting room and
'wept. My heart is entirely changed. I no longer seek foi
death , and if I am spared to return , I shall come to you a3
soon as possible and ask you to teach me Christianity.-

Girls Will 'Be Girls.
IIC3E fearfnl souls who have become alarmed
lest higher education , co-education , women's
olleges and other educational agencies should
leprive the world entirely of old-fashionable
marriageable girls can take heart. Herbert E.
Mills , Professor of Economics at Vassar Col
lege , v/lx ) ought to know something about the
effect of education upon the girls of the country , in a
recent speech before the American Institute of Instruction
at , Portland , Ore. , gave it as the result of his experience
that tiie Vassar girl still possesses a perfectly normal inter
est in the other sex. In a word , he says : "She is generally
a very healthy and a very lovable girl , who has general
interest in school , sports , and social affairs ; in domestic
matters and marriage. "
This coincides with the observation of others who have
noted that , generally speaking , the girls of the twentieth-
century promise to be just as much like their mothers
and grandmothers were as the varying changes of condi
tions and customs will permit. At heart they vdll still be
women , the better half of the human race , willing to guide
the households and rear the babies , thus insuring the per
petuation of the race , domesticity and civilization.
Of course , there were lots of old-fashioned people who
never lost their faith that the primal feminine instincts
were ineradicable , but for the reassurance of the timid ones
who have become fearful that the modern feminine thirst
for knowledge threatened to deprive the world of normal
women it is well to point out that this is not the case.
Hereafter they can sleep in peace , calm in the assurance
that "girls will be girls" to the end of time. Philadelphia

We Talk Too Much.
N the United States vre are prone to talk too
much. We do not sufficiently appreciate the
value and beauty of silence.
During the after business hours , at the
lunch and dinner table we talk on and on with
out ceasing , as though there was nothing worth
thinking about. We invented the first talking
machine , and no American is considered properly equipped
unless he can talk at all times and upon all subjects.
Information must be imparted and ideas exchanged ;
it is essential to mental companionship and develops our
faculties of expression. But there is no necessity for the
endless and eternal talk Inwhich so many of us indulge.
There is a great force and value in silence. It enables
us to think. It forms and expresses character. The great
men of the world were relatively silent men ; they talked
only when they had something to say , and the greatest of
tnem said but very little.
We should study the beauty of silence and develop
our thinking power rather than our talking power. Chi

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Is It Doinj ; the Greatest Good to the
Greatest Number ?
The figures for the fiscal year Indi
cate that the Fostofiice Department
will shov - a deficit to the extraordinary
amount of $13,000,000. This shortage
has not before been equaled. It is
largely attributable to the expenditure
made for rural free delivery. This
branch of the service obviously brings
very little revenue. It Is maintained
for the public convenience , and the
benefits it affords , especially to the
farming class. The institution un
questionably is beneficent , civilizing , in
the line of modern progress. Still , there
is a limit to the money the country
can afford to expend for thiswork ,
and now that it has become so costly
as to be a burden to the department ,
there are questions which might wise
ly be inquired into whether other
branches of the postal service are not
suffering because of the absorption of
so much of the funds by this one , and
whether the expenditure is apportion
ed In a man nor to do the greatest
amount of good for the greatest num
ber of tho people , or , as has been se
riously charged , to further political In
terests and strengthen party position
by the enlistment of a host of mission
aries in the uniform of rural carriers.
The routes are alleged to he multitudi
nous in sections represented by Con
gressmen of powerful influence at
Washington , and again often very few
in sections where rural free delivery is
as fully desirable. There is reason for
suspecting that In many cases free de
livery routes have been established
quite for tho sake of making places
for applicants for the positions as car
riers , rather than because of a demand
for the service by the people of the
neighborhood. Buffalo Courier.

CHRCN1G ERYSIPELAS
Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ,
Although Whole Body was
Affected.
Erysipelas or St. Anthony's fire is a
most uncomfortable disease on account
of the burning , the pain and the dis
figurement ; it is also a very grave dis- , / "
order , attended always by the danger of ft
involving vital organ's in its spread.
The case which follows will be read
with great interest by all sufferers as it
affected tho whole laody , and refused to
yield to the remedies prescribed by tho
physician employed. ' Mrs. Ida A. Col-
bath , who was the victim of the attack ,
residing at ! N"o. 19 Winter street , 3STew-
buryport , Mass. , says :
" In June of 19031 was taken ill with
what at first appeared to be a fever. I
sent for a physician who pronounced my
disease chronic erysipelas and said ifc
would be a long time before I pot well.
"Inflammation began on my face and
spread all over my body. My"eyes were
swollen and seemed bulging out of their
sockets. I was iu a terrible plight and
suffered the most intense pain through
out my body. The doctor said my
case was a very severe one. Under
his treatment , hovever , the inflamma
tion did not diminish and the pains
which shot through my body increased
in severity. After being two months un
der his care , without any improvement , I
dismissed him.
" Shortly after this , on the advice of a
friend , I began to take Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People , two at a dose
three times a day. After the second box
had been used I was surprised to notice ?
that the inflammation was going down ,
and that the pains which nsed to cause
me so ninch agony had disappeared. Af
ter usiig six boxes of the pills I was up1
and aronnd the house attending to my
household duties , as well as ever. "
