Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys*
Unhealthy Kidneys Hake Import Blood.
All the blood tn your body peaaea through
your kidneys once every three mlnutea,
Um T <£31 The kidneys are your
blood purifiers. Ihey fil-
ter out the waste or
impurities In the blood.
K they are sick or out
ot order, they fall to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheu-
matism come from ex-
cess of uric acid in the
_ blood, due to neglected
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 vein* and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be trac ed to the kidneys,
but now 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 eitraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy la
soon realized. It stands the highest for Its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and Is sold on Its merits

UNITED STATES MEN OF WAR
Historic Battle Ships at St. Louis
In World's Fair Naval Display.
SI. Louis, Mo., April 23.—For
the t time in history a torpedo
destroyer of the United States
Navy is anchoied in an interior
part. Opposite the foot of Olive
street, one of the main arteries of
St. Louis, the World's Fair city,
lies the Lawrence, a fighting ves-
sel of that class. In her hold are
sufficient explosives to blow the
entire Louisiana Purchase Expo-
sition into bits no larger than a
man's hand, yet she is as harmless
as a dove, for it is impossible for
the mighty forces to generate
without the deliberate adjustment
of cei taiu mechanism.
Anchored near the Lawrence is
the T. S S. Nashville, of the gun-
boat class. It is the Nashville's
second visit to this port, she hav-
ing steamed up the Mississippi in
the year 1899. Both vessels are
present to represent the Navy De-
partment in participation at the
greatest of all World's Fairs and
the living exhibit of which they
are a part is supplemented by
displays in the Government build-
ing.
The Nashville is historic in that
from her deck was tired the first
shot ihe Spanish-American war
and the gun which belched forth
the signal for combat is proudly
shown visitors by officers and
meo.
An v who wish to may visit these
war ships. Certain hours each
day will be specified for visitors,
and as the ships will remain in
the harbor longer than others
have done theie will be ample op-
portunity for all «vho desire to go
on board
Crews from the vessels may
also be seen on the Fair grounds
where both the Jackics and the
marines will participate in inter-
esting drills. Then there will be
other tnaneuvres on the river
which can be viewed from the
levees.
