6 OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1905. Cairo tlie Gitnililer'a Paradldc Modern Cairo must be a sort of gam bler's paradise, Judging from some ftipta which I recently had from a friend who has been Investigating the ubject. In one of the prjucipal streets Bear Mohammed All square a gentle man who knows the town well pointed out over twenly first floors over the styops with the names of bars upon ttem, every one of which he knew to be n gambling hell, and a police official admitted to the investigator that the town was full of such places. The po lice do not seem to be at fault. They raid the places from time to time, but the offenders, nearly all foreigners and mostly Greeks, are protected by their consuls and let off lightly and return to tfie business the next day. I should guess that (ho business Is chiefly car ried on for foreigners as well as by them. There Is a sort of cosmopolitan ism about gambling, and Its Votaries are drawn from all corners of the earth by the scent of the game. But this seoms to be one respect In which Egypt has not improved under British lnllucn.ee. London Truth. Harvest Festival -1905.

Tlie Exchequer. In past times It was the custom for the. king's justiciar and his subordi nates to .make up the royal accounts twlco a year, at Easter and Michael mas, on a table which was the most trilling object In tho chamber In which they assembled. This table was covered with dark russet cloth divided Into squares, which gave It a checker ed, chessboard-like appearance, and in the columns and spaces the accounts rendered by the sheriffs and great landowners who attended for that purpose, were entered and reckoned up. It was the checkered cloth, so conspicuous throughout the proceed ings, that gave rise to the name ex chequer, Just as the stars painted on ttio ceiling of another historic room rlglnated the name "star chamber."

Often The Sidneys Are Weakened by Over-Work. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. It used to be considered that only urinary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly atl diseases have their beginning f, in tlie disorder of f these most important B orspins. f The kidneys filter C and purify the blood that is their work. ! Therefore, when your kidueysare weak or out of order, vou can understand how quickly your entire body is affected and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty.

It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases, and is sold on its merits by all driiL'eistsin fiftv-cent and one-dollar size jjH' bottles.
