in the kidneys.
The most important organs Of the whole
body are the kidneys
Th5y filter your blood and keep 1t pure.
People are apt to believe that kidney
disease is rather rare disease, but recent
discoveries hava proved that it is most
common trouble indeed
And the proof OF THIS is, that most dis
eases, perhaps So per cent, are caused in
the beginning by disorders OF the kidneys.
You can't be sick ii your blood is pure,
free from kidney poison and disease breed
ing germs.
Your kidneys should keep it SO. That's
what they are there for. And as long as
they are well, they perform their duties
with thoroughness, and dispatch
You are well when your kidneys are

From oyer-eating CIR over-drlDking. AN

ley who was siighJiy indlsposed at At
llanta, every member OF the party MS beel
in the best OF health and all pronounced
the trip most ENJOYABLE and splendid sac

made the president was received with
greetings and demonstrations of an en-
thusiastlc character, and during the e-tire

Especial Dispatch to The Post)
Washington, December 2o.--Authoidta-
dive information has been received Mt the
navy department that the British govern
ment proposes TO largely increase the num-
bur- oil commissioned officers for It's navy.
Queen Victoria has approved q memorial
from the British admiralty stating that in
order to meet the increased requirements
of the fleet it has become necessary TO
gradually increase the active list OF off
GERS Of the navy.
As adopted. the programme calls for
adding 1886 officers TO the service, half OK
the whole number of line officers now in
active service. The cause OF this large
increase is believed to be Britain'a desire
to lie prepared in case any international
developments OF the future should result
ia war. In any event, it is regarded as an
excellent indication OF the intention OF the
London government to keep In commission
much larger force of men or war thah
has been considered necessary in the past.
