HELP THE KIDNEYS.
Diseases of the kidneys are growing
more common every dny. Hps 1th roorts
frerywhere prove It. This Is due to two
reasons: first, the hurry, hustle, worry,
nod strife of modern living overtaxes
the kidneys; aecnnil. kidney diseases
come on no qnletly thnt they are com
monly neglected until they lecoiiie ser
ious. If yon continually overwork, over
feed, or over-driuk, you are living too
fast for the kidneys to keep up with
their work.
The healthy human body pnsses off
every day an ounce of nrea. containing
twelve grains of uric nrld. The duty of
the kidneys Is to filter this poisonous
waste out of the blood, and to the kid
neys comes the blood. In an unceasing
stream, to be purified. Living too fast
lias one of two effects either the pro
duction of nric poisons In the body Is so
Increased that the kidneys can't keep up
with their filtering work, or the kidneys.
themselves, become so weakened by the
strain that the filtering work Is only
partly done. Then the uric poisons
gin to collect in the body and to attack
the vital parts. Firt of nil you feel pnln
in the back, headache, depression, and
languor, then comes lumbago, sciatica,
rheumatism, and bladder troubles.
It should be clearly understood that a
little timely help for the Sidneys will set
them right, but continued neglect results
In dropsy, sediment in the urlue, too fre
quent, or scanty, or painful passages of
urine, gravel, kidney stones, and, in
time, Rrlght's disease, diabetes, or apoplexy.
"THE KIDNEYS
ARE THE FILTERS
OF THE BLOOD
KEEP THE
FILTERS OPEN"
It Is plain, therefore, that In order to
keep well one must keep the kidneys
well, and instant attention must le
given to the enrly warnings of kidney
complaint such as backache, languor,
and Irregular passages Of the urine.
Take exercise, eat plain food, and
plenty of it, do not over indulge in stim
ulating or spirituous drinks, and, above
nil, use a medicine thnt acts directly on
the kidneys a kidney specific and tonic.
For this purpose there Is no remedy so
well adapted as Doan s Kidney rills. By
the willing testimony of residents of our
own city, this remedy Is proved a cure
for backache, and all kidney and uri
nary Ills. Its action Is mild and strength
ening and It can be taken by young or
old. weak or strong, without the slight
est harmful effect. The best proof we can
offer Is testimony of residents of your
own city, perhaps your own neighbors.
OMAHA PROOF.
m. H. Maiken, carpeuter, of 2621
Lake street, says: "During the twelve
years I had attacks of kidney complaint
I took lots of medicine, but received
little, If any, benefit. I even went to
Colorado Springs, thinking the mineral
water and mountain air might help me.
Two years made little difference to my
physical condition and I returned east.
Sometimes I was laid up and suffered
the most excruciating pnln imaginable.
Now, I don't want It understood I am
radically cured, but of this I sm cer
tain, that Donn's Kidney rills, procured
at Kuhn & Co.'s drug store, corner lfith
and Douglas streets, gradually relieved
me of the aching until it finally disappeared."

SUSPENSION OF LICENSE IS HELD UP
Missouri Commissioner la 'Enjoined
from Enforcing Order Ksclud
inff Company from
State. '
J
ST. LOUIS, Nov. .-The New Tork Llfo
Insurance, company, through Its attorneys,
F. N. Judson and former Attorney General
Crow, lata this afternoon applied to United
States Circuit Judge Adams for an Injunc
tion to restrain State Insurance Superin
tendent Vandlver from enforcing his order
prohibiting the company from carrying on
further business in Missouri
The application for an Injunction was
made following a long conference between
the attorneys and Judge Adams In the tat
ter's chamber In the federal building.
Both Messrs. Judson and Crow were re
ticent when asked concerning the confer
ence.
The application was favorably passed
upon by Judge Adams, who Issued a re
straining order directing William D. Van
diver,' state superintendent of insurance, to
appear before the federal court in Jefferson
City, November 30, to jshow cause why he
Should not be prevented from enforcing his
order excluding the New Tork Life Insur
ance company from doing further business
In Missouri, and ordering that, pending the
hearing November 20 the superintendent's
order be not enforced.
Order la Ignored.
Notwithstanding State Superintendent of
Insurance Vandlver last night officially sus
pended the certificate of authority of the
New Tork Life Insurance company under
which it was licensed to transact business
In Missouri, It was stated at the St. Louis
offices of the Insurance company In ques
tion that no attention was being paid to the
order suspending Its license. The private
secretary of Hamilton Cooke, Inspector of
agencies, who said that she was empowered
to speak for Mr. Cooke, said to the Associ
ated Press:
"We are doing business at the old stand.
We are soliciting Insurance Just as ener
gctlcally as we ever did, and we are going
to continue to do so."
Thirty thousand Missouri policy-holder
In the New Tork Life, estimated insurance
amounting to 00,00t,0fl0 on the basis of an
average value of ?:,000 In the policies held
in the state, are trying to figure the ulti
mate effect of State Insurance Commis
sioner Vandlver's action In suspending the
Missouri charter of the company.
It is believed by many St. Louisans In
sured In the company that the commis
sioner cannot prevent the company from
maintaining offices in the state to look after
business already on Its books, but that the
enforcement of his order would make it im
possible for the company to solicit or record
any new business In the state.
KANSAS CITT, Nov. 9.-At the local
offices of the New Tork Life Insurance
company today it was stated that no offi
cial notice of Superintendent Vandlver's
order suspending the company's license had
been received and that business was being
conducted as usual.
Vandlver Explains Ilia Action.
JEFFER80N CITT, Mo.. Nov. 9.-8tate
Superintendent of Insurance Vandlver
today gave out the following Interpretation
of his order concerning the New York Life
Insurance company:
I have repeatedly stated that It has no
effect whatever, except on the writing of
new policies. The company haa never been
compelled to keep an ottlce In Missouri for
the transaction of Us business with Mis
souri policy holders, but has done so as a
mattei of convenience, and there is-nothing
in this order of suspension to kerp them
frbn, still doing so. If they do not It will
be a matter of their own choosing, and, as
I see that their attorneys say they are
acting for the convenience of policy hold
ers, I presume, of course, they will not
deny them this convenience, If It Is a con
venience. A careful reading or my order
and of the statutes shows that it refers to
writing of life Insurance and not to col
lection of new premiums or any other kind
of business. It refers to the writing of
new business, simply this and nothing
more. It may be added also that as the
order Is for suspension and not absolute
revocation, the company may yet comply
with the requirements- at any time It
chooses to do so and. of course, In that
event, the order would be vacated.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Nov. 9 (Special.) Much grati
fication Is expressed among students of tho
State university over the election of Fred
Abbott to membership on the Board of Re
gents. Mr. Abbott has kept in close touch
with the university and the students since
leaving college, and he Is in a good position
to know what Is needed In the management.
As soon as he takes his place the matter of
the regents furnishing textbooks to the
students at cost will be taken up with Mr.
Abbott and a different result Is expected
than that which attended tho efforts of the
pupils in the past. Another reform that Mr.
Abbott is expected to bring about is open
meetings of the Board of Regents, especially
those meetings where large sums of money
are spent.
A number of students who have entered
the agricultural college have made com
plaint of the enormous cost of books, and
these will call upon the new board as soon
as it is organized.
Superintendent Crabtree of the Peru Nor
mal was in Lincoln today and he said his
school was working nicely under the new
textbook rule. At that Institution the books
re rented to the pupils at a nominal cost
or sold to them at actual cost. The pupils
have been saved thousands of dollars and
at the same time the state has not had to
expend a cent of its money, as the system
pays Its own way.

Solves Problem of Dress.
One of the most difficult problems that
has confronted the governor's staff has
Just been solved by an order from the War
department. For years and years the
colonels have worn algulllettes, but in
various places on their uniform and the
efforts of the adjutant general to get all to
wear them alike have proven unavailing.
Now, however, the War department hns
taken up the matter and today an order
was received telling Just exactly how
these things should be worn. The order Is
as follows:
Algulllettes will be worn attached to the
right shoulder Knot, longer pencil cord to
ma reur. loops crossing on top of the right
arm above the elbow, the front pencil cord
to be hung, before the coat is buttoned, to
the top button on right side, and the rear
pencil cord, passing under the right arm, to
bo hung on the second button.

not answer and nothing was done. Next
