We have had occasion to draw at tentlon to the apparent obliteration of sectional feeling in the Southern states, brought to tlie minds of the people very forciblv bv the recent visit of President JfcKlnley and the reception accorded him by the old veterans of the Confederacy. In view of this apparent friendly feeling it was an unwise inovw,' to sav tho least, to introduce in Congress a law to pension Confederate soldiers. Those who apprehend a revival of sectional feoling by the introduction of this proposition will feel greatly relieved by tho announcement that tlie passage of such a law is expressly prohibited by the Constitution, a section of which reads The vulidlty of the public debt of the United States authorized by Iaxv, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for service in suppressing insurrection or re bellion, shall be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred In aid of insur rection or rebellion against tho United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave ; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void." Before a law such as is now pro posed by Ill-advised Southern repro sontatlves In Congress, who are prob ably.soeking a little cheap notoriety, cotdd be legally adopted, an amend ment to tho Constitution would have to be adopted by tho national Senate and House, and then submitted to the Various state legislatures and adopted by three-fourths of these bodies. Such proceedings are hopeless, es pecially in view of tho fact that pa triotic Southerners themselves recog nize the tmwitdom of in any way ap proving the acts of secessionists, as is evidenced by the action of Com pany A, of the Memphis uniformed organization of Confederate veter ans. This organization unanimously adopted tho following resolution In opposition to Senator Butler's bill to pension ex-Confederates : "Heaolved, That while xvo favor more liberal appropriations In the Southern states for the maintenance of its disabled Confederate soldiers, xve condemn the introduction of any measure in Congress looking to tho pensioning of ex-Confederates, by the United States government."

Many women suffer untold agony and misery because the nature of their disease is not correctly understood. They have been led to believe that womb trouble or female weakness of some sort is responsible for the many ills that beset womankind Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy or dark circles under die eyes, rheumatism, n iragging pain or dull ache in tlie back, weak ness or bearing-down sensation, profuse or scanty supply of urine with strong odor, frequent desire to pass it with scalding or burning sensation, sediment in it after stand ing in bottle or common glass for twenty-four hours, are signs of kidney and bladder trouble. The above symptoms arc often attributed by the patient herself or by her physician to female weakness or womb trouble. Hence, so many fail to ob'ain relief, because they are treating, not the disease itself, hut a reflection of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble. In fact, women as well as men are made ipiscrable xvith kidney and bladder trouble nnd both need the sauie remedy.
