 Bladder or Uric Acid Trouble.

There comes a time to both men and women when sickness and poor health bring anxiety and trouble hard to bear; disappointment seems to follow every effort in our behalf; we get discouraged and skeptical. In most cases s-rious mistakes are made in our treatment. and in not knowing what the disease is or what makes us sick.

 They are the great filters Of our body, and consequently, the purity of the blood is entirely dependent on their cleansing powers.
 If the kidneys are not In a perfectly clean and healthy condition, the blood becomes impregnated with impurities and decay of the kidneys soon takes place. If your desire to relieve your self of water increases, and you find 1t necessary to arise many times during sleeping hours, your kidneys are sick As they reach a more unhealthy stage, a scalding and irritation takes place as the water flows, and pain or dull ache in the back makes you miserable If the water, when allowed to remain un- disturbed for twenty-four hours, forms a settling or sediment you are in the grasp of most serious kidney or blad- der dis CT.

WILL CONFER WITH CEN. LEE He Will Give the Army and Navy Valua ble
 Information. Knows All About the Defenses and the Weak Points of
 Havana. More Than That His Military Experi- ence Win Be of Value at
 This Time.
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.

NEW YORK, April 12.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: Valu- able information is expected to be giv- en by General Lee to the naval and mill itary authorities which will have an important bearing upon the plan of campaign against Cuba in the event of war with Spain.
 l learn tonight that General Lee has been invited to appear before the Naval Strategic Board at Il o'clock tomorrow morning to discuss with it the defenses of Havana and other Cuban seaports, the probable location of mines and the best points at which attacks should be made. All the members of the board have been notified to be in attendance, so that the information expected to be secured may be utilized at once in changing the plan of naval attack which has already been adopted.
 This board has been in session for the past month, and 1t Is understood to have prepared elaborate plans of of fense and defense against Spain. But these plans are liable to change if Con- sul-General Lee should give any infor- nation showing that different points of attack from those selected by the board are preferable on account of weak forti- flcations or the conflguration of the land.
 In some quarters there Is belief that one of the reasons why General Lee was brought to the Uuited States was in order that he might be able to give to the war boards of the army and navy the benefit of his experience and observation.
 By reason of his military training and experience during the war General Lee has kept a sharp watch on the inn provements of the Notifications and has kept the State Department advised from time to time of what has been go- ing on. The reports made by him have been submitted to the strategic board, but it is appreciated that he may have later information, and in any event the naval authorities say that his advice will be valuable, and the board will in all probability defer in many important instances to his judgment.

cording to the population Of the several
States. The suggestion TO muster out all of
the volunteers from your State cannot
therefore be entertained. The secretary Of
war has already inquired of the Governors
or the several States what regiments in their
Judgment can with the least Inconvenience
remain in the service. Their advices will.
