swscumulatian which gats into tha clrtralatJon because of weak kidneys
constipation indigestion and other phyatoevl trrsgul&rltias which sia usually
considered of no importance. Nothing applied externally can orar reach

keeping them in a normally supple and alaatio condition it gradually hardens

nerar bo cured until the blood is purified. 8. S. 8. thoroughly cleanses and
renovates the circulation by neutralizing tba acids and driring ths causa
from ths system. It strengthens and invigorates the blood so that instead
Vt a sour weak stream depositing acrid and painful eorroaiv matter in

WASHINGTON. May 11. Durlns con-
sideration of the Panama canal bUI In
the house this afternoon Representative
Jamea 1 BTardea mad a trong speech
asalnat th propoaal to open the canal
free to American ships claiming that ex-
clusive eoaatwtae trade accorded Amer-
ican veasela la ufnclent discrimination In
behalf of American ship and that respect
for our treaty obligations will not permit
of taxing of foreign ships unless Amer-
ican veseels likewise pay tolls.
Th majority of the Texas tpemoer of
the house were opposed to a free canal
though divided on the quesUon of dlserlm-
I net toe in favor of American owned ship.
Booking Pardon for T.xan.
Members of th Texas congressional
delegation are buaylng themselves In be-
half of R. A. Porter of San Angolo. con-
victed of fraudulent land operation In
Oklahoma and sentenced to one year In
Jail. It waa claimed that Porter was
merely acting as agent and had no knowl-
edge oi the fraud that was being prac-
ticed. He Is now under bond but unless

Would Regulate Naval Promotion.
When tke navy appropriation bill I
taken up. an amentment submitted to
the committee by Congressman Cregg will
be presented to the house by the chair-
man for consideration. ThlB amendment
provides that hereafter no officer of the
navy shall be advanced to the rank of
rear admiral unless he has seven years
yet to serve before being retired at the
age of 62. In the past It has been the
custom to advance a man to rear ad-
miral's rank Just before his retirement In
order that he might draw morr pay from
the government. The CreRK amendment
would put an end to this practice.
Representative Slayden als has an
amendment looking to the abolishment -of
the Annapolis visiting board. hlcVrots
the government 13004 annually illayden's
proposal is to have subcimmlVe f the
house and senata naval alTalrj committees
visit he naval academy while engaged
in drafting the appropriation djn thus
reducing the expense .'.rf fe hundred
dollars and doing a'ay with the annual
junket. .

Re9lr(atlng Cotton Contracts.
Te wrfiith bill which has been favor-
ably reported by the committee on agrl-
' "TTlre in the senate has caused a com-
motion among the cotton exchanges of
f the country. Th Bouth Carolina senator
expresses confidence In his ability to get
the measure through congress at this ses-
sion. The bill provides! "That any person
partnership Joint stock company society
association or corporation their managers
or officers engaged In Interstate com-
merce. In making or offering for sale any
contract or contracts for the future de-
livery of cotton" shall specify the grade
or grades contracted for; and such grade
as Is contracted for shall be according to
the t'nlted States government standard-
ization." The measure directs the agricultural
department to standardise the grades of
"upland" and "gulf" cottons separately
and such grades shall not be below good
ordinary or above middling fair. The de-
partment Is also directed to standardize
cotton according to grades stains and
tinges. In case long staple cottons are
bought or sold for future delivery the
length of the staple must be specified and
the cotton must be when delivered of the
grade and length of staple designated In
the contract. The only latitude given the
seller of such a contract lies in the option
given him to deliver cotton one grade
above or one grade below the grade con-tra-cted
for.
The bill stipulates that any contract
which neglects to state the grade of con-
tract bouirht or sold or the length of
staple shall be null and void and that the
use of the malls telegraphs express com-
panies or any other method of Interstate
communication shall be denied those who
make contracts not conforming to this
proposed law and in addition upon con-
viction shall be deemed guilty of a mis-
demeanor and be subject to imprisonment
for three years or a line of $5000 or both.
The person who permits th transmission
of anv message prnhlbled by the act will
be liable to a fine of $1000 for each mes-
sage so sent. The law does not apply to
sales of eotton msde by type.

May Ignore Texas' Claims.
If the house submits to the action of
the senate committee which conFldered
the omnll.us claims bill the three Texas
Items which were contained In that meas-
ure will go unprovided for In th con-
templated appropriations although the
court of claims has passed upon them and
pronounced them valid. The senate com-
mittee has not only stricken out all of
these Texas claims but a large majority
of all the Southern war claim have gone
by the board causing much concern
among the representatives of those States
and a long wrangle over the bill Is In
prospect. It Is admitted that the repub-
lican senate Is playing politics. Xne
Texas claims stricken out are those of
Gertrude O'Bannon of Hunt county for
$1S50; Mary A. Hhaw of Nuece county
for $700: heirs of the estate of Robert
M. Williams of Dallas for $1140.

Since Andrew Jackson's Day Every President
of the United States has been selected by a national party contention.
The story of tbe orifin and rise of the conrention system the
development of party organizations and the most eventful inci-
dents of the national conventions of the past will be told in a series
of twenty daily articles by Frederic J. Haskin. These articles will
not be dull essays writer Oul oF dusjy bookt but will revive for the
reader of to-day the contemporary views and opinions of other days.
Do you know what plans resulted in. the Domination of Lincoln over
Seward in 1860 ? Do you know how Polk the first dark horse was'
selected ? Do you know why there is a "unit rule" and a "two-thirds
rule" in Democratic conventions and not in Republican conventions ?
Do you know what defeated the Grant third-term rnovement ? Do
you know who made the greatest convention speeches? These and
hundreds of other questions like them will be most interestingly
answered in this series ef Haskin Letters.

ATTACKED BY AN ENEMY WITHIN
There Is no worse danger when the
kidneys are weak than the big family
of "uric acid troubles." and to when
you notice that the kidney secretions
have been much disordered for a time
do not be surprised if you begin to
have rheumatic muscles and Joints
nerve pains and nervousness headaches
and dizziness heart weakness and drop-
sy attacks of stone and gravel deafness
and poor eyesight.
The filtering of uric acid from th
system falls upon the kidneys and if the
kidneys are inactive uric acid overload
the blood. Instead of nourishing th tis-
sues the blood starves and Irritates them.
Trie acid has the habit of attacking
the weakest part first. A brain worker
will have nerve trouble or rheumatism.
A strong healthy-appearing person will
be liable to gravel or stone heart trou-
ble dropsy or gout.
Acute uric acid attacks with awful
pains often follow exposure wet weather
overuse of alcohol overwork overexercls
or excesses of any sort.
Doan's Kidney Pills help weak kidneys
to gain strength to overcome an excess
of uric acid In the blood. Persons hav-
ing a tendency to form unusuat amount
of uric acid should try Doan's. People

J. C. Francis 2419 Hardy St Houston
Texas says: "1 tried everything for lum-
bago that attacked me after I recovered
from typhoid fever but I got no relief
until I used Doan's Kidney Pins. I could)
not stand owing to acute lameness across
my back and I had sharp twinge across
my loins whenever I moved suadenly. My
kidneys bothered me I did not sleep well
and had dlisy spell. Doan's Kldnej
Pills gave me prompt and positive relief
and I was soon able to do my work. I
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills for back-
ache and kidney trouble."
Th above statement was given De-
cember 28 1910 and when Mr. Francis
