You should not delay under
any circumstances in cases of
Kidney and Bladder trouble. You
should take something promptly
that you know is reliable, some
thing like DeWitt's Kidney and
Bladder Pills. They are unequal
ed for weak back, backache, in
flammation of the bladder, rheu
matic paius, etc. When you ask
for DeWitt's Kidney and Uladder
Pills, be sure you get them. They
are antiseptic. Accept no sub
stitutes; insist upon getting tho
right kind. Sold by Trout's drug
store.

Pennsylvania Apples.
According to a compilation
made by Van Norden's Magazine,
Pennsylvania ranks sixth in the
list of appie growing States.
There is no good reason in cli
mate or soil, why we should not
hold first place in producing this
most profitable crop.
The States that are ahead of us
in this respect are New York,
Ohio, Illinois, Missouri and Kan
sas.
We probably come still furth
er down the list, according to Ihe
returns from apples sent to mar
ket, because the failure of farm
ers to plant young trees and their
neglect of those they own, have
made, generally speaking, Penn
sylvania apples less desirable
than those from other States.
The awakened interest in or
chard planting which has been
evidenced in Pennsylvania within
the last few years, it is to be
hoped, will soon place us where
we ouglit to be, in the front rank.

Readers Should Mix This For Kidney or
Bladder Trouble.
Mix the following by shaking
well in' a oottle, and take in tea
spoonful doses after meals and at
bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar
saparilla, three ounces. A local
druggist is the authority that
these simple, harmless ingredi
ents can be obtained at nominal
cost from our home druggist.
The mixture is said to cleanse
and strengthen the clogged and
inactive Kidneys, overcoming
Backache, Bladder weakness and
Urinary trouble of all kinds, if
taken before the stage of Brights
disease.
Those who have tried this say
it positively overcomes pain in
the back, clears the urine of sod
iment and regulates urination,
especially at uight, curing even
the worst forms of bladder weak
ness. Every man or woman here who
feels that the kidneys are not
strong or acting in a healthy man
ner should mix tbU prescription,
at home and give it a trial, as it is
said to do woi.deri for many persons.
Why Big Navies Have Come,
The reigu of big navies has
brought Germany to an annual
national treasury deficit of $100,
000,000. It is more responsible
than any other cause for Eng
land's deficit of $05,000,000. Our
own deficit of about $100,000,000
is part depression and part Pan
ama Canal, but tt is also part
uavy.
But it is not the English Dread
nought which started this naval
ex pmsion, as Mr. Carnegie and
others have charged. The Ger
man naval act, nine years ago,
began the mad tace in navies.
Up to that act each land had
built for its needs alone. Eng
land, with an empire spread over
the seas and half the world's
shipping, had a navy as big as
any other two navies. Our own
was small, but equal to any Pow
er likely to attack us.
Germany out of a clear sky in
1900 laid down a program for
twenty years to come. It pro
vided for thirty-eight battleships
the biggest single naval order
in history. The German Empire
has a tenth of the world's steam
and sail tonnage half as much
as this country few colonies and
none any threaten. Its coasts are
safe from attack. It lus not two
continents to defend, as has the
United States.
The German battleships can
not be for defense. They are
for attack. T.'iey are, as Mr.
Frederick Harrison has just said,
"the spearhead of the strongest
army on earth."
With this program alarms
spread over the world. England
began building Dreadnoughts.
Ihe United States followed.
France turned to a long-neglected
navy. Italy and Austria en
tered anew on battleship build
ing. If the Reichstag were to stop
Germany's battleship program
naval expansion would cease ev
erywhere else. Philadelphia
