HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common water clnss
with urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indloates
a diseased conditiou of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is nositive

quent desire to nrinata nr rutin in I h

tho kidneys and bladder ura nut of

The Keating Wheel.
The rapid growth of the populari
ty of the bicycle and the large in
dustries which its manufacture has
developed are almost phenomenal
To contemplate the marvelous de
velopment that has been recorded in
cycle construction in tho past few
years makes this development seem
too wondorful to bo true, but we
know it is, and judging from the ex
periences of tho past, the future
may hpve a great deal iu store for
us.
In speaking of the perfect wheel
to-day we do not refer to depart
ment store bargain cycles, but to
the peerless samples of mechanical
ingenuity that are recognized as
standard wheels, that have world
wide reputations and sales, and are
known to embody every improve
ment. There is no wheel more fitt
iug to be named as a ' single repro
scntativo of this class than the
Keating, made by tho Keating
Wheel Company, formerly of Holy
oke, Mass., but now in larger and
better quarters at Middletown,
Conn. The enforced removal of this
company in order to meet the de
mands of their increasing trade is
but one proof of tho remarkable
popularity of tho Keating wheel.
This wheel is the result of eight
years of experimenting, and the val
uable lessonB of that time have been
utilized in the production of the '97
Keating, which stands without a
peer in construction and popularity.
This wheel has its individual frame,
as the most popular cycle phrase,
"See that cure," well proves ; and it
is also fitted with Keating double
roller noiseless chain and an improv
ed crank shaft. It is a beauty in
iiuish and design and unrivaled in
construction. Finance and Com

MOTHER!
Friend
There is no
word so full
of meaning
and about which such tender and
holy recollections cluster as that
of " Mother "she who watched
over our helpless infancy and guid
ed our first totterintr step. Yet
the life of every Expectant Moth

fort should be made to avoid it
. . so assists nature
MnthAfG in the change tak
iflUIIIUI O ing place that
the Expectant
Mother is ena
bled to look for
ward without
dread, suffering or gloomy fore
hodinfrs. to the hour when she
experiences the ioy of Motherhood
Its use insures safety to the lives
of both Mother and Child, and she
is found stronger after than before
confinement in short, it "makes
rhilflhirth natural and easy." as
so manv have said. Don't be
persuaded to use anything but
MOTHER'S FRIEND
"My wife suffered more in ten min

last, having previously used four bot
tles of Mother's Friend.' It is a

You and we may differ as to
money standards and out of

come. But we won't differ as
to the merits of one standard
emulsion of cod liver oil.
SCOTT'S EMULSION has
won and held its way for
nearly 25 years in the world of
medicine until to-day it is al
most as much the standard in
all cases of lung trouble, and
every condition of wasting
whether in child or adult as
quinine is in malarial fevers.
Differ on the money ques
tion if you wilL but when it
comes to a question of health,
perhaps of life and death, get
the standard.

Curious Facts About March 4.
No fears need he folt, by this gen
eration at least, that our 1'reBidentH
cannot lie inaugurated on tho -1th of
March as in tho past times on ac
count of that day happening to fall
on Sunday, as such an occurrence
will not take place until tho year
2717. After t hat date for 108 yeai B.
week days will be on band. After
2985 peoplo must wait 8t years be
fore the inauguration will bo post
poned because of a Sunday 4th of
March. Not lo be too long about it
we may say that from 1889 our last
Presidential Sabbath as it might be
termed such an event will occur
but eleven times until 4621 and by
that time most of us will, we hope,
be out of our misery.
