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 and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized.

LOUISVILLE, KY. On All Bars —Take No Other 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. INJUNCTION ISSUED AGAINST MONOPOLY.

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.” MAN FATALLY STABBED WilH HAT PIN.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL 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.” Dr. Price, the famous food expert, has produced a product called D? PRICE'S WHEAT FLAKE CELEHY FOOD which is considered to represent the highest food production. Its healthful qualities are unsur passed. to co-its a package. 2 For sale by all Grocers Wonderful Thing. Mr. Brown had just had a telephone* connection between his office and house, and was very much pleased with it. “I tell you, Smith,” he was saying, "this telephone business is a wonder ful thing. I want you to dine with me this evening, and I will notify Mrs. Brown to expect you.” Brown (speaking through the tele phone)—My friend Smith will dine with us this evening. “Now listen and hear how plain her reply comes back.” Mrs. Brown’s reply came back with startling distinctness: “Ask your friend Smith if he thinks we keep a hotel.”—N. Y. World. Addressing a meeting of -workmen at Ramsey, Huntingdon, England, called to protest against the action of Lord De Ramsey in notifying nearly 1,100 tenants to quit the land, James Keir Hardie urged the agricultural laborers to form a strong union to protect themselves and to enable them to obtain land which would render them independent in times when without employment. Men, he said, had been driven off the soil and into the town slums through the land being turned into deer forests for American millionaires and other id lers. Landlords, he declared, played the same part to society as did the parasite to the tree, sapping away its strength and giving no return. Women are supposed to be vain, hut no man is as handsome as he thinks he is. Murderous Ceremony. /' When s 'Neapolitan' \“feft€s 'to effect the death of an enemy he takes some object, often a lenwn, which he uses to represent the heart of his victim, and he pierces it with nails or pins, which he fastens securely with twine.

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., Battle Jveek, Mich.
