Gen. Ordway's SON "A Lieutenant.


Goodwin Ordway, who was to-day an
pointed a second lieutenant in the regular
army, is the son of the late General Al
bert Ordway, who organized, and for ten
years commanded, the District of Comra
bia militia. Lieutenant Ordway is re
sarded by those who know him as a
young man Of especial excellence. He
was graduated from Lehigh about five
years ago, and at that time was REGARDED
as one OF the finest football PLAYERS in
The country. He stood exceptionally high
IN his class, and when he left the univer-
silly was thoroughly qualified TO take w
The profession OF mining engineer and
assayer From Lehigh he went 10 Ross
lyn, British Columbia, and in that camp
practiced his profession with gratifying
success. The death OF his father which
occurred in New York city November u
1897. brought the son to Washington, and
here he has remained ever since. busily
engaged in settling up his fathers estate
While he has not enjoyed technical
military education, he is generally re-
sarded as being far better fitted for army
lie than the great majority OF those who
nave received appointment from the ranks
OF civilians. Lieutenant Ordway is an
exceptionally fine appearing man. OF much
more than average physique, and brings
10 his new profession great deal Of
practical information, absorbed from close
association with his father, who rendered
most distinguished service during and
since the civil war, and who unqUestion-
ably transmitted 70 his son very many Of
the sterling qualities which made General
OrdWay one OF the best beloved of men.

As we are by nature subject TO many
diseases, the only way TO guard against
all attacks on our health Is 10 make a
study Of our own physical self.
If a peculiar pain attacks you, try to
locate its origin and discover which or
gan Of the body is sick and in need Of at
tention.
IL the kidneys are at faut-and in al
most every case I'm the failing of our
health they are-look well 10 their resto-
ration 10 health and strength.
They are the great filters OF our body
and, consequently. the purity Of the blood
10 entirely dependent on their cleansing
powers.
II the Kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition. the blood becomes imprecnated
with impurities and a decay of the kid
neys soon takes place. If your desire
TO Relieve yourself Of water increases
and you find ii necessary TO arise many
times during sleeping hours. your kid
Deys are sick. As they reach q more un-
healthy stage. n scalding and irritation
takes place as tho water flows and pain
or dull ache In the back makes you mis-
cradle. If your water, when allowed TO
remain undisturbed for twenty-four hours
forms settling or sediment, or has
cloudy appearance. you are in the grasp
OF most serious kidney disorder
If neglected now the disease advances
until the face looks pale or sallow. puffy
or dark circles under the eyes, the feet
swell. and sometimes the heart acts badly
There is no more serious menace to
health and strength than any derange-
ment OF the kidneys.
