The Mouse and Senate were addresseo in joint session today by vY . J. Bryan Lieutenant-Governor Coon and speaker Falconer met Bryan at the steps of the platform, and Coon Introduced the speak, er to the Legislature in a few well-chosen remarks. , Bryan was escorted Into the legislative chamber by Governor Mead and the com mittees of the Senate and Mouse ap pointed on reception. After being greeted by a hearty salvo of applause, Bryan began his talk, wtijch flowed on smoothly for nearly two hours. Among the points dwelt" upon at length was the election of united estates Senators by direct vote. Bryan said this had been his. special measure when he was In Congress in 1900. and although Republican Congresses had also taken favorable action on that ques tion, to the Democrats belong the honor of the first action. Bryan also spoke In favor of the initia tive and referendum, after which the talk drifted Into an attack on the corporations. He said many politicians believed the remedy for the existing evil to be pater- pal ism in Government, but that he thotrght there was more "Infernallsm In corporations than paternalism in Gov ernment. And he believed the ultimate remedy for railroad oppression and abuses would come only through ownership by the people, as in bis opinion railroad reg ulations enacted by Legislatures would eYer prove ineffectual and useless.'

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong and Healthy " All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every 'three minutes. . The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. When healthy they re- move abode 500 grains of Impure matter dally: when unhealthy, some part of this impure matter is left In the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms- pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot. dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel. disorders of the eyesight and hearing, diz ziness, irregular heart, debility, drowsi ness, dropsv deposits in the urine, ete.
