I used Dodd's Kidney Pills and I have
not felt a pain since. My little girl
complained of her back. She used
about one-half box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills and she is sound and well."
It is thousands of statements like
the above that show Dodd's Kidney
Pills to be the one cure for Backache
or any other symptom of deranged
kidneys. For Backache is simply a
sign that the Kidneys need help.

CHILDREN AFFECTED.
By Mother's Food and Drink.
Many babies have been launched intc
life with constitutions weakened by
disease taken in with their mother's
milk. Mothers cannot be too careful
as to the food they use while nursing
their babes. The experience of a
Kansas City mother is a case in
point:
"I was a great coffee drinker from
a child, and thought I could not eat a
meal without it. But I found at last it
was doing me harm. For years I had
been troubled with dizziness, spots be
fore my eyes and pain in my heart.
to which was added two years ago, a
chronic sour stomach. The baby was
born 7 months ago, and almost from
the beginning, it, too, suffered from
sour stomach. She was taking it
frQni me!
"In iny distress I consulted a friend
of more experience than mine, and
she told me to quit coffee, tha- coffee
did not make good milk, I have since
ascertained that it really dries up the
milk.
"So. I quit coffee, and tried tea and
at last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then I turned to Postum
Coffee with the happiest results. It
proved to be the very thing I needed
It not only agreed perfectly with baby
and myself, but it increased the flow
of 'my milk. My husband then quit
coffee and used Postum. quickly got
well of the dyspepsia with which he
had been troubled. I no longer suffer
from the dizziness, blind spells, pain
in ny heart or sour stomach. I -stum
has cured them.
"Now we all drink Postum from my
husband to my seven months' old
baby. It has proved to be the best
hot drink we have ever used. We
would not give up Postum for the best
coffee we ever drank. Name given

RIOT AT WARSAW
FOUR
PERSONS KILLED
FORTY WOUNDED.
AND
SEVERAL OF LATTER WILL DIE
Crowd Carrying Red Flags Attack Pa
trol of Troops and Police. Proclam
ation Distributed Warning People
..Away from Public Buildings.
WARSAW A serious conflict oc
curred at 7:30 o'clock Sunday evening
in Dzika street, where a Jewish so
cialist society known as the Bund had
organized a demonstration. Troops
which came to disperse the gathering
fired into the crowd, killing four per
sons and wounding forty others.
Other disturbnaces are reported to
have occurred. The street had been pa
trolled throughout the day. Conditions
here are causing much easiness and
nervousness. Hand printed proclama
tions have been found in the streets,
warning the public against walking
near public buildings and other places,
as bombs would be thrown in these
quarters. Several parents whose chil
dren are attending school in defiance
of the school strike have been warn
ed bv letter to withdraw their chil
dren, as the school buildings will be
blown up. Representatives of the party
of violence (it is not quite clear
whether they are revolutionaries or so
cialists) are visiting private persons
and levying contributions for "ammu
nition." They produce lists of names
with the amounts to be collected from
each and request the contributor to
sign his name opposite these assess
ments, which range from $2.50 to $3.50.
When Governor Maximovitch arrived
here ten days ago to assume his duties
he ordered that the Cossack detach
ment awaiting him at the station be
retired, saying he did not want an es
cort. Driving through the city today,
however, the governor general's car
riage was surrounded by twenty Cos
sacks. The editors of the Polish newspa
pers were summoned to the castle yes
terday. Governor General Maximovitch
received each of them separately in
the most friendly manner, and talked
with them on various subjects, espec
ially on the question of the censor
ship. He invited them to come to him
in cas'e of any difficulty.
The trouble in Dzika street began
when, under the pretext of holding a
memorial meeting for a late Jewish
socialist leader, a crowd of more than
1,000, mostly Jews, carrying red flags,
marched into Dzika street and was
met by a mixed police and military
patrol of twenty men. The police de
clare the socialists fired revolvers at
them, the leaders inciting the mob to
attack the patrol, which thereupon
fired several volleys into the crowd.
Four men were killed and forty were
wounded.

NEWSPAPERS ARE NOW QUIET
Believed They Have Been Given a
Tip by Government.
ST. PETERSBURG The- newspa
pers are so significantly silent about
the peace reports from abroad that
it leads to the inference that they
have been warned by the government
of the inadvisability of airing their
views at this time.
These papers which have been fa
voring peace say nothing, while the
small section of the press which has
been insisting on a continuation of
the war contents itself with the repro
duction of articles from foreign news
papers, showing that peace now
means the abandonment forever of
Russia's position on the Pacific.
No Community of lnterer-ts.

ST. PETERSBURG The r.ews
from the front indicates that Field
Marshal Oyama has begun a genuine
advance of his main army with wing
far extended. Heavy reconnaissances
are being made against the Russian
center, with the object of developing
the Russian position.
It is officially announced that Gen
eral Karkevitch has been appointed
General Linevitch's chief of staff in
place of General Sakharoff. who has
been transferred to the Alexander
committee for the care of the wound
ed. General Stakelberg has also been
appointed a member of the same com
mittee. A dispatch from General Linevitch.
dated March 30, says:
"There is no change in the situa
tion. The enemy is displaying activ
ity east of the railroad.
"Heavy snow fell during the night."
A telegram from Gunsbu Pass says
General Linevitch has forbidden the
inhabitants of Harbin, with the ex
ception of the women and children,
to leave that place without special
permits, fearing that the town may be
denuded of workmen.
GUNSIIU PASS Reconnaissances
disclose especial activity on the part
of the Japanese on the west near the
Mongolian frontier. It is reported
that an anti-foreign propaganda is
conducted among the Chinese, who
are stirred up to a renewal of the
Boxer disturbances. The Hun Yuan
min societies of Mukden and Krin
and the Tsai Li society, which is
strong in Tsitsihari and northern
Manchuria, are said to be working to
spread this agitation among the Man
churian population and Japanese suc
cess is doing much to augment the
movement. Many Chinese bandit
chief tians are leaders in numerous
secret societies extending throughout
China and their influence may have
a powerful effect on the attitude of
the Chinese government and popula
tion. ADMIRAL BARKER RETIRES.

legal proceedings now in progress, to

testimony because of her peculiar
legal status, and she is seeking the
good offices of the state department
to procure from the British govern

TONIC MADE TROUBLE
APPETITE INCREASER DID WORK
TOO WELL.
Increased Girth of Mr. Bilkins, but
Also Increased Size of Grocery Bills
Gocd Wife Hzd Strenuous Time
During Course of Treatment.
Bilkins had been feeling under the
weather for some time and the doctor
told him he must take a tonic. Bil
kins decided to try it. He rather liked
the idea, as the tonic consisted of
some nice chocolate-coated tablets
with a glass of port wine after each
meal. Bilkins felt the effect almost
immediately. His appetite improved.
It should be stated also that Bilkins
is an economical man. especially with
his wife, whose expenditures for
household purposes he has curbed by
a limited allowance.
Bilkins' appetite and general health
improved, but his disposition became
seriously impaired. He was always
cross when he was hungry, and since
the tonic began to get in its work he
was always hungry. He complained
about the scant supply of food.
"I get just as much as I used to,"
explained his wife timidly.
"Get more, then." growled Bilkins.
She did. and the bills grew apace.
At the end of the half month Bilkins
curled his eyebrows and roared.
"Vour grocery and meat bills have
been running $0 a week larger than
usual," he complained. "This isn't
economy. You'll ruin me."
"Yon said to get more," his wife
protested.
Bilkins grov.iV but he kept on tak
ing the tonic. His friends compli
mented him on getting stout, and Bil
kins smiled. This, however, was when
he talked with his friends. Between
him and his wife the situation was
getting a trifle strained.
Finally affairs got to a climax. They
had English mutton chops that night,
and there were five on the chop plate.
Usually there were only three, but
liilkins thought these were rather
small for English mutton chops. He
helped his wife to one and proceeded
to dispose of three. He stripped the
bones and then looked hungrily at the
remaining chop.
"Won't you have this one. my
dear?" he said, with a polite growl
that seemed to court refusal.
"No." sniffed Mrs. Bilkins. "Maybe
the girl wants it, though."
"Let her rustle something else."
snarled Bilkins. "If you didn't mar
ket on such a slim scale we would
have enough to go around. I'll take
this myself. I don't see why we can't
have enough to eat in this house."
Then Mrs. Bilkins was seized with
a violent attack of sniffling.
"I can't tell what to do." she sobbed.
"You complain of the bills, and yet
you eat so much that what I get isn't
enough. I have been half starved for
two weeks. I never saw anyone with
such an abnormal appetite. We'll just
have to go back to boarding."
A great light dawned on Bilkins.
"It's all on account of that con
founded tonic," he blared graciously.
"I'll stop it."
He did, and now peace reigns in the
Bilkins family. Mrs. Bilkins says a
tonic is good ground for divorce.
"Representative Fathead."
New men who join the force of of
ficial reporters in the House have a
hard time of it until they get familiar
with all of the ?S members. Some
times twenty different men will par
ticipate in a quick discussion. The
stenographer must identify them in
stantly. The force of official reporters is re
cruited generally from men who have
had service as committee ste'iora
phers and who are familiar with the
members. Sometimes, though, in a
quick rally, the stenographers !o not
catch the names of the speakers and
identify them as "smooth face."
"whiskers," "mustache," in their
notes. Then they go to the veterans
at the resk and fill in the names.
Not long ago Representative Bank
head of Alabama was very active at
a hearing where one of the new sten
ographers was being tried out. Much
to the astonishment of the other re
porters, the new man turned in a lot
of talk accredited to "Mr. Fathead."

EFFECTS OF PROSPERITY.
In tho. six years of the country's
greatest prosiierity, from 1S97 to llo::,
average prices of breadstuffs advanced
C5 per cent., meats 23.1 per cent, dairy
and garden products 50.1 per cent,
and clothing 24.1. All these were prod
ucts of the farmer and stockman who
profited more than any other class of
the community by these advances.
The miner benefited 411.1 per cent by
that advance in the average price of
metals. The only decrease in the
average prices of commodities in that
period was in railway Ireight rates
which decreased from .7JS per ton
mile in 1S17 to .":: in lOOS. a loss
of 4.4 per cent. The report of the In
terstate Commerce Commission shows
that the average increase in the pay
of railroad employes in the period was
a trifie above S.." per cent.
