Mothers Keep Them;iil_ut Witha Little Light There Need Be None, How carefully mother guards the se- crets of her boys and girls. At night as she carefully tucks the bed cloths round them she chides and warns that mother will be angry if they repeat last night’s ofi'ense, softly saying to her- self it’s only a habit, but I must break them of it. This is mother’s mistake. The childrenlcannot help it, and sweet, clean dry beds can be the resting place of every child when it is understood that the cause is not a habit but a weak- ness that can be cured. Active life of the little ones tends to weakening the kidneys and weak kidneys mean ina- bility to retain the urine. This is a condition not a habit, and should have the same prompt attention you would give to the marked symptoms of any disease. One Doan’s Kidney pill, taken twice a day and at bedtime, will strengthen the kidneys of a child, and in a short time there will be no cause to scold, for the so-called habit will disappear promptly. Here’sa grateful mother that adds her endorsement to our words: ‘ Mrs. William Wood who lives at 130 Colony street, Meriden, Conn, says: “ My little boy of ten years of age has always been troubled with weakness of the kidneys, causing him to wet the bed. So many mothers punish their children for this, but I know he could not help it. I read about Doan’s Kidney Pills curing incontinence of urine in adults and I thought they might help the lit- tle fellow. I procured a box and their use produced a marked benefit at once. It is very seldom he does it now and I shall continue giving him Doan’s Kid- ney Pills until the kidneys are sound and strong. It is only out of gratitude that I permit publication, but the trouble is a very prevalent one and most people from modesty or diifidence do not speak of it. Physicians do not appear to be able to cope with the trouble and I consider it a mother’s duty to tell others about it when she has found a specific for this terrible an- ‘ noyance. ” Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale by all dealers, price 50 cents per box, 6 boxes for $2.50. Sent by mail on receipt of price. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., sole agents for the United States Remember the name Doan’s and take no other. \ The Misses Elizabeth and Josephine Little have removed from Orchard street to 28 Maple street.

No Hope Apparently For the Continuance . of the Present Ministry. Madrid, May-24.1—The- political situ- ation here seems to be as follows: The government, not wishing to yield to the opposition by resigning, will appear be— fore the cortes, but if the Liberals do not attend the session a ministerial crisis will be occasioned. Under the cicumstances the retention of the pres- ent cabinet does not seem possible. The Liberals, who Consider the formation of a Sagasta cabinet inevitable within a. few days, have abandoned all idea of agreeing upon the formation of a. work~ ing ministry. The projected duel between the sons of the Duke of Tetuan, minister for foreign affairs, and of Professor Comes the Liberal senator whose ears w re boxed by the duke'on last Friday in the lobby of the senate, has been abandon- ed, the dispute having been amicably settled. , The Heraldo of this city says it learns that high persons have asked Marshal Martinez de Campos, the former cap- tain general of Cuba, to come to Mad- rid. THE TEA TAX. A Rebate to Be Asked For on Imports to Fill Standing Contracts. Dubuque, 1a., May 24.—The wholesale grocers of Iowa, who are interested in the proposed duty on tea, have sent a delegation to Washington to see Sena- tor Allison. With them have gone two representatives of the Chicago houses. Before the proposal to tax tea'lO cents a pound was made public by the senate committee these grocers sold for future delivery in such quantities that one Chicago house will lose $100,000 if com— pelled to furnish taxed tea. Iowa houses will also lose heavily. The grocers have tried- to cover, with the result that the demand for immediate shipment raised prices of the Japan 71/2 cents. The delegates will ask that the tarifl bill be amended to provide for a rebate of the tax on all tea. imported to fill orders taken before the senate bill was reported. f \ Hanged Himself at Eighty-five.
