Kidney trouble often causes quick or
unsteady heart-beats and makes one feel
as though they had heart trouble, because
the heart is overworked, in pumping thick
kidney-poisoned blood through the veins
and arteries.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys
is the chief cause of bladder trouble, fol-
lowed by suffering painful to many that
life is made miserable.
The bladder is situated in front of and
very close TO the womb and for that rea-

Mr.. HENDERsoN's COMMITTEES
Holidays. but Some Are
Known

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2-(Special) The
composition Of the house committees which
Speaker Henderson is to name has proved
well kept secret up to the present.
Speaker Henderson is expected not to name
bis appointments until after the holidays,
but speculation is rife, and, among the
general gossip. few facts appear which
warrant pretty close guess as to the re-
suit.
Among, the men said to be slated for the
ways and means committee are Tawney
of Minnesota; Dolliver, of Iowa; and Bab-
cock, of Wisconsin. Tawney and Babcock
are new men. The latter will retain chair
manship OF the District of Columbia COM
mittee and may be transferred to the ap-
preparations committee, where he prefers
TO serve.
Hepburn, of Iowa, win il is said. retain
chalrmanship of the committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce, and Mercer.
of Nebraska, will again be chairman of the
committee on public buildings and grounds
HUI, of Iowa, will also be again at the
head of the committee on military affairs.
Missouri will have no chairmanships, un-
less Bartholdt Is re-appointed chairman
OF the committee on the improvement of
the Mississippi, but all the members will
have good committee assignments
Sherman, of New York, viii doubtless
remain at the head of the committee on
Indian affairs, for which Curtis. of Kan
