Bright's disease. And you may not realize

Why?
Because kidney diseases are the most
mysterious of all known troubles, and
they are the hardest of all things to de-
tect.
If you were asked to put your hand
directly over the kidneys. would you know
just where to place it?
Few people would.
The fact is that the kidneys have few
symptoms of their own. but possess near
ly all the symptoms known to suffering
humanity. 'All roads lead to Roma" and
it is equally true that the cause of nearly
every physical trouble can be traced to
one source, namely. the kidneys. AS Il

ATHANASIAN SOCIETY
The Commencement Exercises Held
Last Evening

A large audience assembled in the COL
lege chapter at the university last night
to listen to the commencement exercises
of the Athanasian Literary society.
After the invocation by Dean Cochran,
the president, F. G.. H. Stevens, delivered
his address. He advised the members Of
Athanasian to avoid the ruts and to be
broad and liberal in their work. Mr.
Stevens referred to the fact that three
of the seven graduates of the college this
year are members of this society.
George w. Coultas then took the plat
form and read a very interesting paper
upon "Bacteriology." He amused the
audience by saying that buttermilk and
cheese are indebted for their flavor to
different kinds of bacteria. Only about
twenty of the five or six hundred species
of bacteria are harmful. The research of
scientific men has enabled them to devise
means for securing protection against the.
insidious attacks of these enemies of
humanity.
Mr.. Goodrich sang, with much feeling,
"Smiles May End in Tears" by Pinsuti.
Charles H. Scott then read an original
poem entitled, "An Adult Cupid" This
described, in pleasing manner, the ex-
to do his sons wooing, which ended in his
becoming his sons rival.
An oration by VIM. Tuck followed, upon
saul of Tarsus," whom he described as
an unprepossessng man, endowed with
marvellous eloquence and power to move
men-the orator of orators in the relig-
ious world.
Mr.. Goodrich rendered another vocal
solo, Answer" by Robyn, receiving a
hearty encore.
Harold Vaun read paper upon "The
Ideal Literary Society,"" in which he told
Of his visit to his old literary society in
1924, A. D., and brought out strongly
thoughts upon reforms needed in society.
Miss Rhoda McAllister touchingly re-
cited "A Voice From the Poorhouse.
This painted vividly the evils of the rum
traffic and the license system.
The valedictory was given by ]. D.
Manly. He called attention to his pleas
ant relations in the society and the sorrow
of the graduates at their parting.

he Attempted Suicide

Dependency because Of i'll health caused
John Hudson, laborer, to attempt suicide
yesterday. The landlady of the lodging
house at San Pedro and First streets en-
tered Hudson's room in the morning and
discovered him stretched in a nude condi-
ton on the bed, and unconscious. A small
box containing some morphine was found
near by, and she at once suspected that
he had taken the drug. The man was re-
moved to the receiving hospital Immediate
ly, and DR.. Hagadorn attended him. Hud-
son had been drinking heavily, and, while
he took enough poison to have killed him in
an ordinary condition, the alcohol retard-
ed the effects of the drug, so that when he
reached the hospital he had partially re-
vived. The stomach pump was used and in
an hour or two Hudson was pronounced
out of danger.

Pair Of Men Collecting an Alleged War

Complaint has been made to the police

THE HICKORY CLUB
LARGE MEETING OF ENTHUSIASTS
TIC DEMOCRATS
Numerous Short Speeches and General
Good Time-Members Will
Uniform

The regular meeting of the Hickory club
last night was largely attended, not alone
by the members, but by Democrats gener-
ally from all parts of the city.
Earl Rogers presided and the following
routine business was transacted:
A resolution was passed accepting the
invitation to participate in the parade on
the Fourth of July and committee Of
three was appointed to select a club uni
form.
The president then introduced w. A.
Spaldng who delivered a brief address
The speaker said that what he wanted to
impress upon Democrats was the fact that
the great economic questions which were
before the nation previous to the war eX-
citement had lost none of their Importance
because of the war and must not be for
gotten or ignored. The question of free
coinage of silver; of tariff for revenue
only and a dozen other measures that
Democrats have advocated are of more i'm
portance today than ever before.
"Nor must the Democrats" said Mr..
Spalding, "allow the Republican party to
arrogate to itself all the credit for this war.
This is not a war of the Republican party
United Americans and while, if our arms
succeed, the Republican administration
may reap some glory other than their just
share from that success, let it be remem-
bered that when this war first threatened.
when this Republican administration was
wobbling in it's policy, doing nothing and
seemingly not knowing what to do, it was
the Democrats who stepped in and decided
for them.
"And never let it be again said that the
Democrats are not loyal to the government.
The record of the party in the war in
progress is forever an answer to that
charge. While we are a united nation in
our conflict for liberty, civilization and hu-
manity, just remember what tell you
the Republican party will not be bit diff
fident about claiming all the credit after it
is over if we allow them to do so.'
Mr.. Spalding then spoke of the probable
issues the country would have to face as re-
suits of the war and urged Democrats to
stand steadfast and firm to their principles,
ready to meet whatever the future might
hold.
N. Newly followed Mr.. Spalding upon
the theme Of Democracy and became quite
eloquent in his reference to the immortal
principles which have ever been the found
alton upon which the Democratic party has
stood through thick and thin.
Frank Finlayson made one Of his short,
witty speeches, and, as usual brought down
the house.
Fred Thompson was the last speaker and
among others made a few good points upon
the money question.
President Rogers thanked those present
for their regular attendance and promised

Ten TRAINED NURSES
GRADUATING EXERCISES AT THE
COLLEGE OF MEDICINE
Ready to Attend Sick and Suffering.
Floral Piece Presented on Behalf
Of the Army Nurses

Ten new recruits were added to the
ranks of trained nurses last evening,
when diplomas were presented to the
graduating class of the Los Angeles col
lege training school for nurses.
The lecture room of the Medical col
lege in which the exercises were held,
was profusely decorated with pink and
green bunting, together with quantities
of flowers and greens. while here and
there the stars and stripes added their
bright hues to the cheerful combination.
| The graduates wore their uniforms of
blue and white gingham, with large white
aprons and smart Tarleton caps, and car
ried bouquets of pink carnations.
| Professor and Mrs. Lowinsky opened
the programme with an instrumental
duet, and the first speech of the evening
was made by DR.. George L. Cole, who
addressed the graduating class on behalf
of the faculty. He drew a mental picture
of the nurses career, from the beginning,
when she starts out, ignorant of the
causes of disease and its remedies, until
she reaches the height Of her possibilities
as nurse. The nurse, he said, is hard
worked Individual, who spends her days
bending over the sick bed and many of
her evenings in the lecture room or
pouring over some ponderous medical
work. He exhorted the young women to
be students of human nature; to practice
tact, patience and forbearance, and to
bring credit upon their chosen profess
sion.
E. s. Field spoke on behalf Of the su-
pervisors, wishing the graduates God
speed and declaring that the people ought
to rejoice when young women choose as
their life vocation the care of suffering
humanity.
Mr.. Field recommended that the nation
Establish a school for nurses and provide
corps of these specially fitted women to
accompany each regiment Of United
States soldiers whenever Uncle Sam
finds it necessary to call out the boys in
blue. The speaker finally lost sight of
the subject in hand, and in his admira-
ton of the American flags, with which
the walls were draped, branched off
into a patriotic speech, which. If it had |
little bearing upon the graduation of
trained nurses, was nevertheless we'll re-
ceived by the audience and loudly ap-
plauded.
A paper read by Mrs. R. L. Craig of |
the board of managers, gave much good
advice to the class and contained an ac-
count of the origin and growth of the
school, which was opened by DR.. Barber
in 1895
During the evening Miss Jennie Win
ston rendered a solo and DR.. Kurtz pre-
sented the graduates with a handsome
flower piece on behalf of the army nurses.
The diplomas were conferred by Miss
M. F. Wills, president of the board of
managers.
Owing to some mistake, about half of |
the class had not been notified of their
success in passing the examinations, and |
their absence was disappointment to
many in the audience.
The class consists of Misses Ola Ayers, |
Florence Fish, Louise Kavanagh, Mary
Hart, Elizabeth Weatherford, Ethel H. |
Mcfarland, Eta Mae Prosis, E. Alberta
Speer, R. Louise Walling, Genevra In
