SPRING KIDNEI TROUBLE.
Ytrldly Described by One Who Hat
Suffered From It.
Mrs. H. Mutzabaugh.of Duncan
aon. Pa., says: "I was sick and mis
erable all last Spring,
and as I did not know
what was the matter,
I kept eolng down
and down until I was
a physical wreck. I
had smothering spells,
flashes of heat over
the kidneys, and pain
In passing the i.Mney
secretions, which con-
taiied sediment. My husband urged
me to try Doan's Kidney Pills, and at
last I did so. They did ma much
good, and I used In all eight boxes,
Which restored me to perfect health."

Luminous vapor marking the loca
tion of extensive ore deposits at night
was recorded 160 years ago in Ger
many, and has been noted since in
North America, but the observations
have been generally attributed to
superstition and error. Recent In
vestigation has proven the reality
of such an emanation from the earth's
surface. It is especially frequent Just
before and during thunderstorms,
and has been repeatedly photo
graphed by a German physicist, K.
Zenger, using plates coated with flu
orescent Bubstances. The electric
radiation should be most intense over
spots that are good conductors of
electricity such as beds of ore, and
even of coal. The photographs seem
to show the variations in intensity
very readily, and this may give a very

TEXAS BUZZARDS IX DEMAXD.
Few Carloads Wanted For Shipment
to the North.
Henry Fielding, of Bangor, Me.,
nrrived In the city Saturday and ia
stopping at the Bexar Hotel. His
mission in the Lone Star State Is to
purchase and acquire Texas buzzards
of various ages for shipment to Maine
for scavenger purposes. He is rep
resenting a number of the boards of
trade, chambers of commerce, busl
ness clubs, etc., of Maine cities, which
have recently awakened to the fact
that the supply of buzzards In Maine
Is rapidly decreasing, which Is in
jurious to the rural districts in Maine.
Mr. Fielding was instructed to se
lect the moat strategic point as a
headquarters in a section of the
Southwest well populated with the
crimson headed creatures, and to be
gin operations. Mr. Fielding says it
Is a matter of general knowledge that
buzzards are thickest in a cattle coun
try, and Inquiries by mall and other
wise proved that Southwest Texas ii
well stocked with what he is seeking.
The shipments will be in carload lots
to various points of Maine. Most of
them will probably move out of San
Antonio, coming here in less than
carload lots. However, if Mr. Field
ing secures a carload at any particu
lar point in the Southwest the ship
ment will be made from there.
Mr. Fielding admits that his mis
sion Is unique and seems strange in
a community where buzzards are
plentiful, yet one that can be perfect
ly appreciated in a community where
the stock of buzzards has been almost!
wholly destroyed. He says the last
Legislature In 'the State of Maine
passed strict laws relating to the
slaughter of buzzards and that dur
ing the next two or three years an
effort will be made to -undo the dam
age that has been done and to remedy
present conditions.
"Naturally," said Mr. Fielding,
"any one will admit that the buzzard
is a very necessary bird to rural dis
tricts. He Is not only a destroyer of
carrion, but he Is a great detective
and calls the attention ot many a
farmer and ranch owner to the pres
ence ot nearby carrion calculated to
Injure health If not disposed of. We
believe that by a general campaign
It will be possible to restock the State
ot Maine In the course ot two or three
years, and believe that the money
will be well expended." San An

Not Fitted for Farm Work.
There is a great army of city work
ers who. are willing and industrious
enough but who would be of little use
on a farm, because they know prac
tically nothing cf the work. Many
of those "who ask with Impatience
why the men who are out of work on
account of business depression do not
go on the farms fall to consider that
scores of them know so little about
farm work that they would be
scarcely worth hiring. The cities of
this country have been rearing a class
of workmen who are not adapted for
the farm and who know It perfectly
well. It is unfortunate, no doubt,
that city life unfits most men for
agricultural pursuits. Nevertheless
so It Is and that Is a very considera
ble reason why clerks and mechanics
do not rush to take the places which
the farmers offer.
Roller Skating.
This amusement affords so much
delight to young people that no one
feels much Inclined to Interfere with
it, even when It Is annoying. It is
remembered that In a crowded city
boys and girls ro ;n a measure shut

ful exercise. The playgrounds are
excellent as far as they go, but there
are not enough of them, and they
are useless anyway In a wet season.
Therefore, with malice towards none
and charity for all, the sympathizing
public will probably continue to put
up with the inconveniences rather
than to call for its suppression, but
manifestly the sport requires some
regulation In the Interest both of chil
dren and adults. Chicago Record

Cold.
Many people persist in hding on the street can, insufficiently protected by
clothing.
They start out perhaps in the heat ol the day and do not led the need ot
wraps.
The inpid moving of the car cools the body unduly. When they board the car
perhaps they are slightly perspiring. When the body is in this condition it is easily
chilled. Tins is expecinlly true when a person ia sitting.
Heginning a street cur ride in the middle of the day and ending it in the even
ing almost inrnrinhly requires extra wraps, but people do not observe these pre
cautions, hence they catch cold.
' Colda are very frequent in the Spring on this account, and aa the Summer ad
vances, they do not decrease. During the Spring months, no one should think vf
riding on the car without being provided witti a wrap.
A cold caught in the Spring is liable to last through the entire Summer. Ureat
caution should be observed at this season against exposure to cold. During the
first few pleasant dnys of Spring, the liability of catching cold is great.
No wonder ao ninny people acquire muscular rheumatism and colurrhal disease
during this season.
However, in spite of the greatest precautions, colds will be caught.
At the appearance of the first symptom, I'eruna should be taken according to
directions on the bottle, and continued until every symptom disappears.
Do not put it off. Do not wuste time by taking other remedies, liegin at once
to take l'erunn and continue it until you are positive thnt the cold haa entirely
disappeared. Thia may save you a long and perhaps serious illness later on.
