Over=Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make lmpure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
- ‘- The kidneys are your
blood purifiers. they fil-
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work. '
Pains, aches and rheu-
matism come from ex-
cess of uric acid imthe
blood, due to neglcéted
..
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney-
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
it used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys.
but new modern science proves that nearly
'all constitutional diseases have their begin-
ning in kidney trouble.
if you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's

soon realized. it stands the highest for its

For Financial Bill--Pq58lble
Democratic Substitute.
WASHINGTON, jfiDec. 15.4!rlle der
bate on the currency bill in the house
yesterday was tame and prosaic. The
attendance both in the galleries and on
the floor .was light, and none of the
Speeches made attracted especial atten-
tion. Mr. Sibley (Dem., Pa), who has
publicly announced his change of views
on the money question and who, it was
thought, might ,vote for the bill, stated
that he would vote against it. Mr. Thay-
er, a Massachusetts Democrat, was the
only member of the opposition who made
a speech for the bill. '
The senate by a decisive vote and
practically without discussion laid on the
table the Bettigrew resolution of inquiry
as to whether or not United States forces
had recognized the Filipino insurgent flag
and had turned over Spanish soldiers to
the insurgents. It agree -to the house
Christmas recess resolution. and agreed
to meet today to receive reports on the
composition of its committees for this

BILL SURE TO PASS.
The Financial Measure Seeml Safe
In the House.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Iii—Represent-
ative Overstreet of Indiana, in charge of
the financial bill now under consideration
in the house of representatives, said yes"
tel-day that the'informal canvasses thus
far made showed that the bill would
pass on the final vote next Monday by a
majority of about 36 in case the full
strength of both sides was present. This
is based on the calculation that the full
Republican vote, 185,- and eight Demo-
cratic votes will be recordedfor the bill
and thatseven other Democratic mem-
bers will refrain from voting. .
Mr." Overstrcct says it is established
'b'ey0nd question that not one Republican
vot'e'wvill be recorded against the bill.
There will be no amendment to the pres-
ent form of the bill, except the substitu—
tion of July for June. in designating a
statute referred to in the bill.
‘Representative Richardson of Tennes-
see, the Democratic floor leader, says it
cannot be definitely stated whether a sub-

ply a divergence of opinion regarding the

Mmocratic state central, executive and
campaign Committees met in joint ses~

threatened with defeat for senator if the
Democratic state officers made a contest,
but that hehad ridden 14 miles in a buggy
to tell the committees that he favored a
contest, even if it resulted in his own de- .
feat, as he would rather have a Demo-.‘

lifetime in, the senate. »

the following resolutions, and there 2:. no
longer any doubt about the contest com-
ing before the legislature: p ~

the state‘Dcmocratic central, executive
and campaign committees, in joint meet-'
ing assembled, express our earnest belief
that according to the legal votes cast at
thc‘late state election the candidates on'
the state Democratic ticket were elected
and that the Democrats of Kentucky de-
mand that these candidates in proper
legal course contest the election of the‘
Republican candidates to whom certifi—
cates have been issued.
“Resolved, That it is the unanimous
sense of the members of the Democratic
state central, executive and campaign
gommittees that W'illiam Goebel should
make a contest,‘ as authorized by law,
for the office of governor and that J.~C.
IV. Beckham should make a contest for
the ofiice of lieutenant governor and that
we heartily indorse the contest already»
commenced by the other candidates on
the Democratic state ticket.
I“Resolved, That an appropriate
dress be issued by the members of the re-
spective committees here assembled to
the pople of Kentucky. '
“Resolved. That the chairman of this
conference appoint a committee of eight,
of which he shall be chairman. to co-op-
crate with the contesting candidates and
assist in the management of the several
contests.” .
