Inicrese's Indian Root Pills cured his Kidney Trouble There are few diseases that cause More acute suffering than Kidney Trouble, and Mr, P. A. Thomas, of Sudbury Out., is one of those who know it, He writes: "For over three years I suffered from kidnay disease, First I thought I had spramed my back, for suddenly the pain would catch the small of my back and it would be impossible for me to straighten myself up for several minutes. A dull ache across the kidneys was always pres- ent, imy urine was thick and cloudy, and passing it caused a burning, scalding pain. Tried medicines, but they failed. I vas advised to try Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills, as they had cured my wife years before. A few boxes- affected a complete cure. I now enjoy the bles- sings of good health, which is due to this remedy." Don't neglect kidney trouble—it's too dangerous as well as too painful.

MACHINE DEVOTIONS. few years before the death of the late Dean Lauder, an attempt was made to raise his salary tte Chaplain of the Senate from four hundred dollars to five hundred dollars per seetion. In committee the proposed increase was vigorouely opposed by Senators Mc- Innes and otbere. They figursd eut the rate of rentinteration of the chapiahae services at so many dollars per minute for merely reading the salmi prayers every day at the opening of the House, Mr. Innes claimed that a great saving might be effected and the function bet. ter discharged by using a phonograph and he actually proposed that one should 'be purchased, Needles to any, the racle cal suggestion was bot ,adopted. The dean continued to be chaplain of the Senate, but hie Salary was not inereaeed O n that occasion, tout when he died the office of chaplain was aboliehed.
