Foley's Kidney Cure makes the diseas ed kidneys sound so they will eliminate the poisons from the blood. L. Taggurt. The proud man is likely to need our pity more than the humble. Feet Swollen to Immense Size. "I had kidney trouble so bad," says J. J. Cox of Valley View, Ky., "that I could not work, my feet were swollen to immense size and I was confined to my bed and physicians were unable to give me any relief. My doctor finally pre scribed Foley's Kidney Cure which made a well man of me." L. Taggart. We would not dare pray at all if our prayers were answered. Croup.

The campaign in Pennsylvania, like campaigns in all other states must turn upon National issues, says the Philadel phia Inquirer. We think that the aver age voter understands that thor oughly. Under Republican rule the United States has taken the leading position in world affairs. What is of more importance, there is very general prosperity. It would be supreme folly to risk the continuance of this prosperi ty by handing control over to a party which, under Cleveland, brought the country almost to the verge of bank ruptcy. Naturally, the Democrats of Penn sylvania are notauxlous to discuss such issues. They ignore them. They de clare that the coming contest ought to be fought out on local questions exblu ively. They tell us that ballot reform is the real issue. Very well, the Republican party will meet them upon that ground. Our Democratic friends may preach ballot reform in the abstract, but the Republi can Stato Committee has appointed committees to draw up bills not only for the amendment of the ballot law, but for the regulation of primary elections. These bills will be submitted to the j voters. Every citizau will be able shortly to understand exactly what a Republican Legislature will give him. With a candidate for Governor whose public record la above criticism with a National administration to protect : through the elections of Congressman, with a United States Senator involved, \ there does not seem to be any good reason why a Republican should vote anything but a straight ticket this year, especially as the Legislature will prae tlcally be pledged in advaiii to ■ naet i stringent ballot reform amendments.

The new law which was approved .Inly 16,1902 supercedes act of 1901 and 1897. It requires evory parent or guar dian to send all children between li and 10 years of age to a school where the common English branches are taught during the entire term, though the school directors may reduce the require ments to only 70 per cent.if they see fit. Pupils may be excused on account of mental, physical or other urgent reasons acceptable to the board, or pu pils between 13 and 1(> who can read and write the English language intelligent ly are exempt from the operation of the law, provided they are regularly engag ed in some useful employment or service. Another provision is that in case there be no public school in session within two miles by the nearest travel ed road of any person within the school district he or she shall not be liable to the provisions of the act. The new law provides fines not only for the neglecting persons in parental relation; but also for teachers, school directors and others who fail to comply with its provisions. The law, in fact, is so comprehensive and important that interested persons should at once make themselves acquainted with all its pro visions.

A In the State election of 1901, a (Constitutional amendment was sub mitted to the voters authorizing the Legislature to provide a person enrollment and thus (lo away with the chief grievance in election then complained of. Of the 2(10,000 voters recorded on this question, 214,000 were favorable to the adop tion of the amendment and 4(1,000 were opposed. But the total vote of Penugylvania at that election was 848,000 and .">BB,OOO electors, therefore, expressed no concern on the question. A Remarkable Record. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a remarkable record. It has been in use for over thirty years, during which time many million bottles have been sold and used. It has long been (lie standard and main reliance in the treatment «,f croup in thousands of homes, yet during all this time no case has ever been reported to the manufacture in which it failed to effect a cure. When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse or even as soon as the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is pleasant to take, many children like it. ft contains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. For sale by L. Taggart. EXCURSION NOTICES.
