CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder troubles
So the womb, like the bladder, was created
for one purpose, and II not doctored too
much is not liable to weakness or oisea
except in rare cases. Ii is situated back OF
and very close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or Inconvenience manifested
in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary
passages is often, by mistake attributed to
female weakness or womb trouble of some
sort. The error is easily made and may
be as easily avoided. To find out correct
ly, set your urine aside for twenty. four
hours; sediment or settling indicates
kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney and blsd-
der remedy, is soon realized. II you need
a medicine you should have the best. At
druggists for fifty cents and one dollar.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one purpose,
namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as
such it is not liable to any form of disease
except by one of two ways. The first way
is from imperfect action of the kidneys.
The second way is from careless local
treatment OF other diseases.

Mr.. B. p. McAllister, of Harrodsburg,
KY, had Catarrh for years. He writes:
II could see no improvement what
ever, though l was constantly treated
with sprays and washes, and different
inhaling remedies-in fact, could feel
that each winter was worse than the
year previous.
"Finally it was brought to my notice
that Catarrh was a blood disease, and
after thinking over the matter, saw it
was unreasonable to expect to be cured
by remedies which only reached the
surface. then decided to try S. S. S.,
and the results were gratifying, for
after few bottles were used, noticed
a perceptible improvement. Continu-
ing to take the remedy the disease was
forced out of my system, and a COM
plete and permanent cure was the
result. 1 advise all who have this
dreadful disease to abandon their local
treatment, which has never done them
any good, and take S.S.S. (Swift's Spe-
cific), a remedy which can reach the
disease and cure it."
To continue the wrong treatment for
Catarrh is to continue to suffer. Swift's
Specific never fails to cure even
the most aggravated cases. 1t is a
real blood remedy, and cures Catarrh,
Rheumatism, Contagious Blood Poison,
Eczema, Cancer, Scrofula, and all other
blood diseases. S. S. S. is guaranteed

Care of Back Lots.

t. the Editor of The Evening Star:
In reference to the article in last even
ing's Star as to the relation between box
closets in the yards andstyphoid fever and
other diseases, the germs being dissemmi-
mated by flies and filtration into the soil, 1
would like to inquire what are we going to
do about it? If the evil were upon our own
premises we could partially abate it, but
when, as is the case where the corner of a
square is cut off for a couple Of hundred
feet, the rear premises are jammed to-
gether in such shape that the closet on the
adjoining lot is found Immediately under
yours back windows II you happen to be a
resident of ;aid cutoff, what are you going
to do about it?
Here's another strange thing, while we're
on the subject of dirt and contagion, and
that is, that while in front Of our houses
everything is and must be kept scrupu-
lousy clean, everything "goes'' with the
rear If You speak to the police about 1t,
they will probably tell you as they told me,
that "they had no jurisdiction I COM
planned to the health officer and was in
formed that 1t was the business of the DO
lice. Whose business is it, anyhow, to pre-
vent the emptying of ashes, Stops, feathers
and dirt of all descriptions into our back
lots, used as commons to become the sport
of high winds and to be waited into our
eyes, mouths and nostrils while we eat and
sleep. What are we going to do about it,
sleep? What are we going to do about it.

NOT JOHN CANTER.

He Was Not Murdered Near Colonial
Beach.
John Canter 9 resident Of Anacostia, left
bis home in September last, saying he was
going to Newport News in quest Of en-
ployment. His relatives have not heard
from him and are naturally somewhat
&C ncerLed regarding his whereabouts and
condition. The publication in this city

killed and that the body found at Colonial
Beach November II, with the throat cut.
as his was wholly without foundation in
fact. John Canter, 1t is believed, Is in all
probability alive today. The fact that his
relatives are ignorant of his exact where
abouts can hardly DE classed as remark
able, for instances of such disappear
ances' are reported at police headquarters
almost every day.

the encouraging news that the publication
to the effect that the dead man at the
beach was John Canter was entirely false.

Beach body was that of Canter.
THE body at the beach is that Of man

to a Star reporter. MY brother John is
fifty-two years of age. He has three teeth
missing in front. while the body at the
beach possesses a complete and perfect set
of teeth. Not one article Of clothing taken
from the body bears any resemblance to
those worn by my brother. while the trim
kets and the coin in the pockets of the dead
mans clothing are certainly not the prop
erty of my brother"
while at Colonial Beach did you hear
anything to the effect that second body
had been found there, with the throat
cut?" Mr.. Canter was asked by. the re-
porter.
I'VE were with the coroner all day and
heard Of no such body" was the reply. ''If
second body had been found we would
certainly have been told Of 1t, on the sup
position that it might have been my
brother"
rs it correct that report has been re-
ceived at the beach of the cutting of
the threats of four Of the crew of an
oyster boat and the throwing overheard
of the bodies?" inquired the reporter.
Il heard nothing Of it, answered Mr..
Canter. Some one did say that the bodies
of two colored men had been found some
where between Colonial Beach and Wilkin-
sons wharf, but their threats were not
cut"
The family of John Canter have heard,
from an unauthoritative source. that he is
sick at house near Brandywine Nd. Mr..
George Canter today addressed a COM
munication to Brandywine, making in
quiries in that connection.

railroad, twenty-five miles west of Cum
berland, at Falls Cut, will be completed by
December 1, and trains will begin running
over it within ten days thereafter Falls
Cut is through a spur of the mountain,
and is about sixty feet in depth and has
continually given trouble by rocks sliding
down on the track. 1t has had to be braced
with heavy timber every few feet for its
entire length, some-three hundred feet, and,
requiring constant care and watcnfulness,
was very expensive to keep up
In order to eliminate this cut ii was
necessary to build one mile of new road
way, which involved the construction of a
double-track tunnel $50 feet in length. and
three bridges. By this change the road was
Strengthened considerably, taking out some
sharp curvatures and Introducing curves of
longer radii. The Improvement is on what
is known as the eastern slope of the Allie
ghenies and the grade is about eighty
four feet to the mile The tunnel and
bridges were constructed with the view of
