fiTV. ntttHF7R0E ORDER OF RECHABETES. When the Kidneys are III the Whole Body is Be'mg SLOWLY POISONED It used to be thought that only


urinary troubles and backache were to be traced to the kidneys, but modem science now shows that a great many fatal diseases have their beginning in irregularities of these important organs.


For the kidneys are the blood puri­


fiers. Eveiy three minutes the bloorl passes through them to be purified. When it reaches the kidneys it is heavily laden with uric acid and liquid waste—when it leaves the kid­ neys its impurities har’e been taken out, just as if it had passed through a filter.


But when the kidneys are weak


and inflamed they cannot keep up with their great work, and so the poisonous waste is left in the blood, and the whole body is being slowly poisoned.


I You soon feel languid, dizzy and


worn out. You cannot sleep—can­ not eat—and grow impatient and melancholy.


Puffy circles come under the eyes


—the ankles swell—the muscles and joints are stiff land rheumatic. There are urinary disorders, and you have to get up m.any times during the


night. Your back is weak and ach- ing—you may have sciatic pains and lumbago.


If you have any of the above symp­


toms, give your overworked kidneys help at once in Doan’s Backache Kid­ ney Pills, of which Clitheroe men and women speak so highly.


BaaAsohe M d n o \ r ^


Clitheroe Case. “As the result of an accident I suffered


for some months with cutting pains in my back,” said Mr. R. Robinson, i. Newton- street, Clitheroe, to a representative. “My kidneys were weakened, and the secretions became irregular and painful. I used to feel very feeble when walking, and my back was tender.


tle better, but the pains were still very bad. Then I commenced using Doan’s backache kidney pills, and they helped me wonder­ fully. I have felt a great deal better since I started with these pills, and seeing what good they have done me, I feel sure they will help other sufferers.”

“ COUNTRY LIFE.” GULLS AS EGG-STEALERS.


i We do not hear of the gulls robbing ii i i i i


the partridges’ nests, and this is i.ithei surprising, tor they are all about the agricultural land in the Lothians, sedu- lou.sly following the ]ilough, so that it would seem likely that they would come on an occasionai jiartridgc’.s nest. And the gull is not at all above availing himself of any opportunity of the kind which presents itsself. ’riicrc arc moors in the North of Scotland where the gulls—chiefly of the lesser black-backed .spccie.s, but the villainy is not restricted to them— arc the very worst enemies of the grouse nests, and no one who has seen how gulls of this kind will jiouncc on eggs of the eider-duck, if she is hunted off her nest, w'ill doubt their appreciation of eggs, lo the black-headed gulls is laid the charge in some districts, of destroying the May-fly by the numbers which they cat, but wc do not hoar of this gull joining in the egg- stealing. The bigger gulls from the herring gull up to the big black-backed gull, will eat young birds quite as readily


as the eggs. BRACKEN AND HEATHER AS


LITTER. ! i.a M


which do not especially require the gonial influence of the sun and warmth, the bracken has in most places grown more luxuriantly than usual this year. In the Southern heath country both bracken and heather are used very largely as litter for cattle and also for farm-horses, which arc not expected to look very smart m the coat. Both these forms of litter are ratlier more dusty than straw, but they arc often a great deal cheaper, and may practically be had for the cutting and carrying in many places wlicre they abound. I t is curious that in a great pa,rt of the heathcr-clad districts of Scotland the farmers make no use at all of the heather as litter, preferring the costly straw. Yet they have the credit of being thrifty folk. A small farmer in the South will often litter his stock with heather and bracken and thatch his hay-rlck witli rushes cut on the common or marcli land, so that he has no outlay on straw at all.

African winter’s day. How many vultures were collected at the feast 1 cannot say witli certaint}'. Probably 150 would be well beyond the mark. These foul birds gorge until they are literally full to the mouth and can take in no more. But vultures, on the other hand, must bo often compelled to go for long jieriods without food, and when they get the chance have to make the most of it. These birds depend for a food siqpily on animals that perish either from disease or old age, or from the attacks of man and carni­ vorous wild beasts. In many instances e.spccially in the desert regions where they are often found, I am convinced that vultures can never obtain a meal for days and perhaps even a week or more together.


A THE INCREASED COST OF LIVING.


In nearly all social circles at the yiresent


moment the increased expenditure of these days is calling forth argument and comment. Everybody apparently tricfs to live more siinjrly than,, used to be eustomary, and still expenses mount up in a manner that seems to bo unavoidable. They begin with the simplest necessities of life. The generation that is coming of age now has had no experience of really dear times, and regards as normal prices which would have been deemed extremely cheap thirty or forty years ago.


POLO IN LONDON. Polo in the ]irovinces has this advantage


over the game in London, that it is less interfered with by the weather. The London polo grounds, with their careful mou’ing, and being constantlj' watered in dry weather, cut up terribly. So much care makes them delightful to play on, but leaves tlie surface very tender. 'I’ho county ])olo ground, rougher on the surface, but with strong deep-rooted old turf, suffers less. Besides, the annual tournament is the event of the season, and the managers cannot put it off, so they manage to play it rain or no rain.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE AT BIRMINGHAM.


Conference of the Order of Rechabites commenced at Birmingham Town Hall, on Tuesday, when Bro. J. Philipson, High Deputy Rider, was elected Acting Chief Ruler, owing to the death of Bro. Main, High Chief Ruler. During the previous two or three days

interesting social funetiona had taken place, and on Tuesday reference was first made to the death of Bro. Main. The


I Acting Chief Ruler spoke feelingly of his j work during the last quarter of a century, and Bros. Churchill, Kirkwood, and John­ ston also paid similar tributes.


Bro. Main had left an address to the Order, and this was circulated. Its most

. to aged members for sickness or invalidity I had to be included in their statement of income. He hoped that the Executive of the National Friendly Society Council would be successful in remedying that obvious penalisation of thrift. Still another subject following in the


train of unemployment and of vital interest to friendly societies was the proposed inauguration of a scheme of com- pulsoi’y insurance against unemployment sickness, and invalidity. Considerable and needless anxiety, and in some cases oiJposition, had been evinced at some of the society conferences recently held. That had been modified by the friendly communication of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had explicitly stated that nothing would be done to injure the friendly society movement, whose interests would be consulted, and whose advice would be sought ere the new proposals were launched 'upon the country. In the face of that st.atement, anything in the nature of organised outcry or opposition was quite unnecessary and a policy of patience seemed the only reasonable and commendable attitude to adopt. So far as compulsory insurance against unem­ ployment was concerned, they, as a friendly society, would not be directly .affected. It would, however, have an indirect effect which could only make for good, for it might enable members who were unfortunate enough to bo .among the unemployed, to retain their connection with a friendly society, thus making on the whole for increased st.ability and security. With regard to sickness and invalidity their jiosition was different, and until the scheme was produced .and considered, it would be unwise to make any declaration of committal. As a temperance organisation the Roohabito Order occupied a unique position in the friendly' society world, and any scheme of n.ational insurance was not likely to effect them materially or comparatively. The total abstinence pledge was their safeguard. No Government schemes could .alter their ))rinciples or compel them to receive any who refused to conform to those. Alterations to rule occiqucd the remain­

Consideration was also promised to a suggstion that local men should be used more in deputational work, .and in an interesting discussion on Canadian work the Chairman said many of their djffioulties arose from members going to that country disappearing and never communicating uath the Order. He believed they were on the verge of great opportunities for extension inCanada An actuarial report of the valuation

The following season he betook himself to the Ch.annel Islands, and did his best to play over a course at St. Brelade’s—Quennevais I believe, is the name—and here he found the sandhills even more mountainous and fatiguing than at Deal.

Committee of the P.S.A. on^Sunday last. I t rained, and rained and rained until the time fixed for the open air gathering in the Fair Ground. However, the Wesleyan Trustees having kindly granted the use of the Chapel in case of wet, the gathering was held there. And a vast gathering it was, for it seemed to fill every pew in the spacious building. Though the rain pre­ vented a meeting out of doors it proved a blessing in disguise for we were favoured with extra singing by the Wesley choir. Everything in the musical hue went off well, the anthems and the solo “ Thou art passing hence ” by ^L•. W. D. Hanson furnished a musical treat. The Cathoheity of the gathering was seen in those who took part, Mi\ J. Ford, who presided, being a member of the United Methodist Church, Ml-. Wallier, a Churchman, the Secretary a Congregationahst, and the speaker; Rev. J. S. Baker, a Wesleyan Methodist. 1L-. Rowe presided at the organ and Mi-. Hanson led the choir. The meeting was open for men and women. One noticed the applause was not so extensive as we are accustomed to at the Institute, but some, no doubt, hesitated to -applaud in a place of worship. How ever, there was no mistaking the high appreciation of the assembly. Speaking on Paul’s defence before Agrippa in a forcible and able address Mr. Baker said : We must not be disturbed at the clouds which came by order of Divine providence. I am very glad to have the pleasure of taking part in this gathering. This great meeting is an answer to the critics. How different Paul and Agrippa were, one man clean and without rejiroach, the other man unclean and full of reproacli. The most wonderful part of the defence of the Apostle Paul is seen in the way he tries to convince Agrippa of the, truth. What a tone of reiiroach there is under the words “ I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision ” Paul was a man with a vision, and that was why he was so much despised. I t was a standing re­ proach to materialism which is one of the most painful signs of our times, that it has no vision bc3'ond. I thank material­ ism is a re-action against the superstition which prevailed some j'cars ago. What I want to saj' is wo must not be so afraid of superstition that wc ch-ift into matcr- iahsm. Ah 1 some of jmu say “ 'I'hose Jews were verj' foolish or thej' would not have rejected the Lord Jesus Christ. I wonder what wouW hapipcn if Paul lived to-day or the Lord Jesus Christ. Would they not be dismissed as visionaries ? Men will have none who see visions to-day unless thej' know how to make monej'. The man with a vision is desinsed. Y’^et it is necessary wc should have visions in order that wc should have faith. I believe God speaks to us to-day. Is not our life full of mystery 1 Wc cannot understand why the little child and the j'outh arc smitten down. Yet how often have those become the 'messengers of God to us. The death of Uzziah was a great mj'Stcry to the prophet Isaiah. Is the heavenly vision possible to us "? I think so, for if wc cannot sec the vision it is because wc have steeled ourselves to the spiritual. I want you to look back on j'our past lives and ask if there has not been a vision. Have you been diso­ bedient to it ? If you have, think upon j'Our ways. I'he Lord wants you. Have wc lost our religion "i Let us go back again to the Eternal, to the Lord Jesus and let us hear Jesus speak as in the days

All the conditions remarks the


of affairs upon trade cannot well be exaggerated. Good crops mcans^good trade and good trade means good divi­ dends for a very large number of cor­ porations. Already dividends have begun to recover from the decline they ex­ perienced last year. In this country we have during the past fortnight had a series of recoveries in railway dividends, a recoverj’’ wliich seems likety to continue for several half-years to come. The prospects of a recovery in railwa3' divi­ dends in respect of the December half of the current year is specially favourable. Moreover the recovery in dividends will come about not so much because of economics in expenditure as because of continued growth of traffic, and the probability that the now traffic will be dealt with in an economical manner. The reports from various parts of the


country as to the conditions of trade justify the expectation that a large number of industrial undertakings will make greater profits in the current year than they did last year; and that their divi­ dends will also show appreciable rccovci-3'. Similar conditions prevail in the United States and on the Continent. Fortunatety with this favourable out­

innovation, one is—at first blush—hardty ])rcpared to credit the statement that there arc no less than 3,400 motor taxis in London alone. Nevertheless, these arc the official figures, the number being practicall3' the same as that of the horse- drawn hansoms. I have heard it argued that the increase in the number and popularity of motor cabs augurs well for thc motor trade, as peoirle who might not otherwise become motorists arc likel3' to catch the “ fever ” after riding in a taxi, and to ultimately become purchasers of cars. Against this an eqully valid argument is advanced. If motor cabs become so numerous as to be available at almost every street corner, folks may find that it is not worth while to purchase cars of their ou'n because—when they want a di-ive, or have a visit to pay— they can so vei-3' casity hail a taxi. I t is claimed therefore, that motor cabs may have a deleterious effect on the trade in pleasure cars, and, while it is a fact that a large number of business men .use cabs for their daily journeys to and from the City, I cannot admit that the taxi will ever be a serious competitor to the private car. Each has it scope, as also has the motor-’bus and the commercial car, and though their fields of utility ma3'' to some extent overlap, they do not clash.

the German watcring-irlaces have long been engaged in keen competition. I t is the ambition of Wiesbaden to bo regarded as the Nice of Germany, and so that the town may outstrip Baden-Baden (its m’ost serious rival), Aix-le-Chaiielle, Kreuz- nach and Mannheim, it has gone in for heavy expenditure. Wiesbaden now finds however, that it has been a little too ex­ travagant. Wliile it rejoices in its beauti­ ful Kursaal, which was built in order to draw foreigners into the town,it has made the discovery that the iqrkeep of this and other establishments has involved a loss of £10,000. I t is inconvenient to put more taxes on the inhabitants. Not that the tradesmen would mind much, for they have profited from the expendi­ ture incurred. I t is the people of small means who cannot bear the burden if it is made heavier. So, in order to restore the equilibrium of Wiesbaden’s budget, it has been piroposed to restore a tax on foreigners, which was siqrpiressed a few years ago, by way of scoring off Baden- Baden, where it is in force. This tax, from ten tojfifteen marks on every foreigner, will ^eld something bko £100,000.
