Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All tha blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
fThe kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
Impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild

ANOTHER BRYAN BOOST.
Missouri Democrats, in State Conven
tion, Name Nebraskan for Presi
dent in 1908.
What Is generally regarded as the
most significant feature of the Mis
souri democratic state nominating
convention, held In Jefferson Tues
day, was the pointed and absolute In
dorsement of William Jennings Bry
an for the presidency in 1908, by Da
vid R. Francis, of St. Louis, former
governor, and the secretary of the In
terior in President Cleveland’s cabi
net.
Temporary Chairman Rubrie declar
ed that the democrats would nominate
Bryan for president in 1>0()8 and elect
him. The convention wildly cheered
and applauded for five minutes.
Former Governor Francis said that
differences that have divided the dem
ocracy exist no longer. He described
Bryan as “a sincere lover of humanity
and a patriotic citizen of the United
States.” He eulogized both Bryan and
Cleveland amid profuse cheering.
An Invitation was sent to the capi
tol asking Governor Folk to address
the convention. Governor Folk re
sponded, and was cheered when he !
entered the hall and mounted the ros- j
trum. He declared that Bryan would
be nominated for president in 1908, j
and would be elected. He said the j
principles which Bryan had advocated ;
in 1896 were then considered anarch
ial, but now are considered the acme
of patriotism.
The nominations made by the con
vention were Rube Oglesby of "War- :
rensburg for railroad 'and warehouse
commissioner, and H. A. Gass of Jef- j
ferson City for superintendent of pub
lic schools. Anew committee was
selected.
Early Tuesday morning charges be
gan to circulate that bribery had been
attempted to influence delegates. It
was openly charged that, an attempt
had been made to buy four delegates, i
the sum of $260 being offered for
each vote.
Former Governor Dockery of Gal
latin was selected as permanent chair
man of the convention.
During a debate following the re
port of the credentials committee, G.
V. Koch and H. B. Hardcastle, dele
gates from St. Joseph, engaged in a
fist fight. They were separated by
the sergeant at arms.
The committee unseated James J.
Butler of St. Louis as a delegate from j
the twelfth congressional district, and ;
seated Lawlr Daly of St. L^uis.

FAKE REPORT
AS TO ACREAGE
Is Characterization of Figures Is
sued by Washington Bureau.
PLANTERS ARE WRONGED
South Carolina Conjvessman Introduces
Resolution in House Calling for
Papers and Facts.
A Washington special says: Mon
day’s estimate of cotton acreage by
the department of agriculture has re
sulted in a demand that the reports
on which this estimate was based bo
sent to congress.
Representative Ellerbee of South
Carolina, President Harvie Jordan of
the Southern Cottrn Association and
others, will call up .'resident Roose
velt and will urge ciat ho take a hand
in an investigation into the methods
resorted to by the department.
iLate Tuesday afternoon Representa
tive Ellerbe introduced in the house
the following resolution:
“Whereas the department of agri
culture on June 4, ’4.906, made an esti
mate of the area of land planted in
cotton during the current year; and
“Whereas, it. Is believed that the
acreage of 28,886,000, given out by the
department, exceeds the amount ac
tually planted ;and
“Whereas, it is believed that this
estimated acreage is far In excess of
the area actually planted in cotton,
and ts not warranted from the returns
received by the department of agri
culture from its correspondents.
“Resolved, That the secretary of ag
riculture be, and is hereby directed
to furnish to this house at onse the
tabulated sheet showing the estimate
of acreage made by the seven classes
of correspondents, viz.: the field
agents, the state agents, the corre
spondents, the ginners, the special
correspondents and the individual
farmers.”
Mr. Ellerbee asserts that he knows
of his own knowledge, having gotten
it from a person who saw the reports
received by the department, that there
is nothing in them to warrant an es
timate of an increased acreage.
In speaking of his resolution and
what called it forth, Mr. Ellerbee
said:
“I introduced the resolution because
I have direct and positive information
that the returns received by the de
partment of agriculture have been ma
nipulated to the great injury of the
south.
“I charge that the department Is
unable to show any returns from its
correspondents justifying the absurd
increase which they report in Okla
homa and Indian Territory, and ven
ture the assertion that the increase
reported there is double what the
figures will warrant.
“Judging by my own state and
North Carolina, I am sure that the
estimate of the department is incor
rect.
“I believe in President Roosevelt’s
courage and honesty. If he wants
to give the south a square deal, let
him send for these figures and look
at them for himself, and when the
committee of agriculture is present
ed with the facts they will feel so
outraged at this prostitution of jus
tice and this evident manipulation
of figures that there will be no hesi
tation in unanimously passing this
resolution. When the truth is known
the world will be staggered at de
partmental audacity.
“It was Impossible for the south
to increase its acreage materially on
account of the scarcity of labor, and
before the Ist of next October the
world will realize what a mistake
has been made.”

INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS
FOR JUNE 17.
ftubjtct: The Transfiguration, tnke lx.,
28-36—Golden Tex.: Luke ix., 35
Tople: LeMoni of tlie Trausflauratton
—Memory Verge*, 30, 31—Commentary
I. A night of prayer (v. 2S). 28.
“About an eight days after.” Matthew
and Mark say six days. There were
six full days and the fractional days at
the beginning and the end making
“about” eight. ‘These sayings.” The
sayings of the last lesson. Edersheim
supposes the great confession occurred
on the Sabbath, and tlie transfiguration
oft the night after the Sabbath one
week later. There is no intimation as
to how the intervening week was
spent. ‘‘Peter and John and James.”
It was the same favored three who
had gone with Him into tlie room
where He raised Jairus’ daughter, and
a few months later these same apos
tles witnessed His agony in the garden.
“Into a mountain.” The place of the
transfiguration scene is unknown, but
it was probably Mount Hermon, not
far from Caesarea Philippi. This is
the opinion of nearly all modern au
thorities. “To pray.” It was the habit
of Jesus to go alone in the night to
pray. Before He chose the Twelve,
and after feeding the five thousand,
we see Him praying in the night.
11. Jesus transfigured (v. 29). 29.
“As He prayed.” During His prayer.
The transfiguration was the answer.
“Countenance was altered.” The orig
inal word is elsewhere in the New
Testament rendered “transformed”
(see Rom. 12:2; 2 Cor. 3:18), and is used
of a spiritual change. Matthew says.
“His face did shine as the sun.” “Rai
ment became white and dazzling.” R.
V. Mark says, “Exceeding white as
snow.” It was His inner spirit shining
through the veil of flesh.
111. Heavenly visitants (vs. 30, 31).
30. “Moses and Elias.” Elias is the
Greek form for Elijah: This was not
a vision. These persons were actually
present, and the disciples recognized
them, as is evident from Peter’s propo
sition in verse 33. This gives good
ground for believing that we shall rec
ognize our friends in Heaven
31. “Who appeared in glory.” In
like glory with Jesus; with glorified
bodies. May this not be a hint as to
the appearance of our resurrection
bodies? “Spake of His decease.” Or
departure, or exodus from the world;
including, no doubt, His death, resur
rection and ascension. “Which He
was about to accomplish.” R. V. “This
conversation would enable the disciples
to see the importance and necessity of
that which was to them the greatest
mystery”—the suffering and death of
their Master.
IY.—Three disciples behold His glory
(vs. 32, 33). 32. “Heavy with sleep.”
It was in the night, and the time when
they usually slept. Our ..English Yer
sipe implies that they fell asleep and
were awakened to see His glory, while
the original implies that, though heavy
■with sleep, they kept fully awake.
“Were fully awake.” R. V. Even
though they may have been asleep at
first, yet when He was “transfigured
before them” they were fully awake.
“Saw His glory, and the two men.”
They saw the brilliancy of their coun
tenances, and the dazzling brightness
of the garments. 33. “As they de
parted.” Were departing. Peter must
have seen that they were ready to
leave. “Peter said.” Eager and im
pulsive as always. It was for him too
brief a glimpse of the heavenly glory.
“It is good for us to be here.” Peter
spoke the truth. The apostles would
be stronger and more*,useful because
of the divine manifestations. “Three
tabernacles.” Or booths, from the
bushes on the mountains; such as"were
made at the feast of Tabernacles. He
greatly desired to have the heavenly
visitants remain with them. “Not
knowing what he said.” Peter’s plans
were frequently in opposition to those
of his Lord.
V. The voice from the cloud (vs. 34-
30). 34. “While He thus spake.” “Here
was the response to Feter’s suggestion,
a wise answer to a foolish prayer; de
nying the petition in order to grant
something better.” “There came a
cloud, and overshadowed them.” Mat
thew says a “bright” cloud. A cloud
had frequently been the symbol of the
divine presence. It was a cloud that
guided and protected the children of
Israel (Exod. 13:21; 14:19); a cloud that
filled the temple at the dedication (1
Kings 8:10, 11); and the Lord maketh
the cloud His chariots (Psa. 104:13).
Peter refers to the clouds that over
shadowed them on the mount as “the
excellent glory” (2 ret. 1:17). “They
feared.” This glorious manifestation
of God’s presence caused them to trem
ble. It is very likely that the trans
figuration took place in the night, in
which case the light of Christ’s coun
tenance, the dazzling brightness of Plis
garments, and the glory of the cloud,
would have a marked effect, because
of the absence of the solar light. “En
tered into.” The cloud seemed to de
scend over them and envelop them. 35.
“A voice.” The voice of God the
Father. It revealed nothing new, but
confirms the old, for it was the same
voice which had been heard at His
baptism. This would show to Peter
and the apostles that they did not need
to detain Moses and Elijah in order to,
add to their happiness. “This is My
beloved Son.” Matthew adds. “In
whom I am well pleased.” “Hear
Him.” He is superior even to Moses.
36. “When the voice was past.”
Matthew tells us that when the disci
ples heard the voice they fell on their
faces, and were sore afraid; then, re
covering from the shock, they suddenly
gazed all around them and saw no
person but Jesus. “Kept it close."
Mark says that Jesus charged them
that they should “tell no man what
things they had seen, till the Son or
Man were risen from the dead.”

them to obtain land which would
render them independent in times
when without employment. Men, he
said, had been driven off the soil and

BUILDING FOOD
To living; the Babies Around,
When a little human machine (or a
large one) goes wrong, nothing is so
important as the selection of food to
bring it around again.
“My little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had je got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being so weak, he was frequently
thrown into convulsions,’’ says a Colo
rado mother.
“I decided a change might help, so
took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
“When 1 reached my sister's home
she said immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although I
had never used thejbod, we got some
and for a few clays gave him just the
juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got
stronger so quickly we were soon feed
ing him the Grape-Nuts itself and in
a wonderfully short time he fattened
right up and became strong and well.
“That showed me something worth
knowing and. when later on my girl
came, l raised her on Grape-Nuts, and
she is a strong, healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little pho
tograph I send you what a strong,
chubby youngster the boy ia now, but
he didn’t look anything like that be
fore we found this nourishing food.
Grape-Nuts nourished him back to
strength when he was so weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his
stomach.” Name given by Postum Cos.,
