The board of health of the thriving

ordinance forbidding the erection or
operation Of livery. feed OF sale sta
bles in the limits of the residence por-

in the right direction and should be
followed by other towns, not only for
sanitary purposes but for decency in

Cotton raisers near Rayne are dis

culture. At least 700 acres of sugar

Talk OF Taking the Crews to the Charles River
New Bonthouse Plans.

CAMBRIDGE, Feb. 26.-The end Of tho first
fortnight of the new half year at Harvard finds
increased activity in all branches Of athletics,
particularly in the crews. II the favorable
weather continues, the class crews will go on
the Charles River next week. Capt. Goodrich
is devoting.most Of his attention to the senior
crew candidates. although he is exercising a
general supervision over all. He winds up his
own afternoons exercise with fifteen minutes
sharp practice at the punching bag. Goodrich
is in the pink of condition. and.is slightly heav-
Ter than.he was - year ago. Coach Lehman is
expected back about the middle Of next month,
and when he arrives he will find excellent ma
terial ready to be taken in hand and polished
up for the class crew races. which take place
early in April. Nearly 200 men are in active
training for the four class crews, and this num-
Der does not include those who will come out
shortly for the four Weld Boat Club crews.
The prospect of a new house for the varsity
boat club has acted as a stimulus to the interest
in boating here. Tho plans for the new build
ing show a handsome and commodious struc-
ture well adapted for the needs of the varsity
and class crews. 1t will be erected on the
Cambridge side of the Charles River, opposite
to Soldiers Field and not far from the football
house. The estimated cost Of the house. exclu-

Kidney and Bladder Troubles Quickly Cured.

SwampROOt Sent Free by Mail

Men and women doctor their troubles
so often without benefit, that they get
discouraged and skeptical. In most such
cases serious mistakes are made In doc
toring and not knowing what our trouble
is or what makes us sick. The unmis-
taxable evidences Of kidney trouble are
pain or dull ache in the back, too fre-
Quent desire to pass water, scanty sup
ply, scalding irritation. AS kidney dis
ease advances the face looks sallOw or
pale, eyes puffy the feet swell and some
times the heart aches badly. Should fur

cause Of sickness, then set urine aside for
twenty-four hours; sediment or set
Ting is also convincing proof that our
kidneys and bladder need doctoring. A
fact often overlooked, or not always un-

HORTIOULTURIsTS MEET.
Thirty-frst Annual Meeting Of the Fruit
Growers Of Kansas,


The Kansas State Horticultural So
ciety closed a three days session last
Wednesday evening. 1t was the thirty
first annual meeting and one Of the most
valuable and instructive sessions ever
held by this society. The program was
excellent and full OF good things relating
to all varieties Of fruits and vegetables,
with chapter even on nuts and persim-
mons. It would be impossible to give a
review OF the fifty different reports and
papers. They were all very instructive
and exceedingly interesting, and the dis
cussions which followed them brought
out a variety of experience and informa-
ton which will make the next annual
report Of the society most valuable
treatise on horticulture In Kansas. The
attendance was larger than usual, but
not nearly as large as 1t should have
been. At least 500 fruit-gTOwers OF Kan
sas should attend these meetings. It Is
the actual experience from the orchards,
fields and gardens that Is wanted. Every
former is a fruit-grower, or at least
should be to some extent, and each could
learn something from the successes or
failures of the others.
A proposition was submitted and car
ried over until the next annual meeting
10 change the society to board" It
is very doubtful II such a change would
be either expedient or desirable. A
"board" savors too much Of an exclusive
number and would have a tendency to
keep the common people, who ought to
attend these meetings, away from them.
A board" must have a limited number,
while society is open to everyone who
is sufficiently interested to join 1t, and
the strength OF all organizations OF this
kind must be In their numbers. Horti-
culture is a subject Of such great Inn
portance that this society ought to have
