Newton, Kan, Dec. 23.-While attempt

Santa Fe station Saturday. Joe Gravel
had his right foot pinched so severely
that he may lose the member. Mr.. Gravel
was hurrying TO dinner and upon arriv-
ing at the Santa Re tracks he found his
way blocked by train and, being in a
hurry, he attempted TO cross between two
cars. Just then an engine bumped into
the train and the cars came together vio-
lently. pinching Mr.. GraveIs foot. which
happened to get caught and knocking him
to the ground. Switchmen and others
who were standing near by picked the
injured man up and, summoning a hack,
took him to DR.. Benefits Office. 1t was
found necessary to amputate two Of the
toes and it is not improbable that the
entire foot will have 70 be amputated
later on. The foot was crushed to a
jelly but fortunately only few bones
were broken, and it is barely possible that
the member will be saved.

If there Is sediment "a powderlike
substance-at the bottom after standing

wrong with the kidneys. Another sure
sign of disease is desire to urinate often,
and still another signi is pain in the back
If urine stains linen, there is no doubt
that the kidneys are affected.
Any and all diseases of the kidneys,
liver, bladder and of the urinary passag-
as and consti patton of the bowels are cur
ed by DIR. David kennedy's FavGrite
Remedy There is no question about its
being the best and surest medicine in
the world for such troubles. 1t quickly
relieves and cures inability to hold urine

HUMOR OF THE HOUR.

Parlor elocution is not so much of a
fad as it once was, but it is a style Of
entertainment still INDUCED In. At
recent Detroit function the many
guests were favored by young lady
who has fine histrionic ability coupled
with exceptional powers in the delivery
of stirring lines.
In one part of her selection she was
called upon to shout Fire, firew and
did so in scream so realistic that
newsboy on the outside was left with
out the slightest doubt of his duty in
the premises He took up the cry with
vigor Tivalng that of the gifted
young lady. Other boys joined in with
youthful enthusiasm, the unaccount-
able crowd poured in from every direc-
ton, and the man on the corner who is
custodian of the key lost no time in
turning in an alarm.
Engines and trucks came with q
dash, an ambulance swung around
from a side street and swooped down
like n bird of prey, and a patrol wagon
hurried to the center of the excited as
semblage without regard to conse-
quences.
Fire" whooped a timid but observ-
ing woman within, and there was q
stampede that choked the doOrways,
tore dresses, made men forget the pre-
cedence to which the gentler sex is en-
titled, even though hysterical, and
caused some to dive through the win
dows regardless Of glass, clothing or
bodily harm.
The guests, after learning that il
was false alarm, went in, looking like
the trail of cyclone. They could not
reorganize, for spoiled clothes and lac
Grated flesh develop an unconquerable
tendency to the meanest kind Of ugli-
ness. The Good nights" came out
with snap, and Had a delightful
time" was belied by looks and tones.
The newsboy was really the chief ben
eficiary Of the occasion.-Detroit Free

GASTRITIS.
fhe symptoms and the Treatment of
This Irritating Disease.

Inflammation of the stomach, gastric
catarrh, or gastritis, as this unpleasant
affection is variously called, may, like
most infammatory diseases, be acute or
chronic in its course. The chronic condi-
tion often results from a succession Of
acute attacks, or it may come on gradu-
ally, almost imperceptibly, without being
preceded by acute symptoms.
The signs of an acute attack are paiL
and soreness over the region of the stom-
ach, nausea and vomiting, loathing for
food, usually a coated tongue, bad
breath, headache, dizziness and some
times a blurring of the sight, especially
after STOPPING. The stomach is often dis
tended with gas, and belching, sometimes
accompanied by very sour eructations, Is
a troublesome symptom.
There may be more or less fever. The
pulse is weak and may be rapid or slow
er than in health. Sometimes, while there
is no appetite, there is a craving for pic
kles or highly seasoned dishes, but indul-
gence of this craving soon turns 1t to
loathing.
The symptoms of chronic gastritis are
similar to those Of the acute form, but
less pronounced. The tongue is coated,
the breath is foul, and often the sufferer
has bad taste in the mouth. The head
aches DULY, the wits are blunted, and the
temper Is apt to be irritable. There is
sensation Of weight or distress in the
stomach, quotations are frequent, and
occasionally a recently eaten meal is vom-
tied.
A not uncommon symptom Is slight
cough, with raising Of mucus. Sometimes,
especially II the patient is losing flesh,
this cough causes unnecessary alarm, be-
ing taken as an indication of consump-
ton.
Gastritis, whether acute or chronic, is
caused by some irritant acting upon the
mucous membrane OF the stomach. This
may be a poison, such as arsenic, which
has been swallowed; or it may be alcohol
or acid or highly spiced food; or the irri-
tant may be formed in the stomach by
the fermentation of indigestible food or
of food taken in too great quantity. FL
nally it may result from the secretion In
to the stomach Of poisons circulating IN
the blood.
The treatment OF acute gastritis con-
sists in the removal of the irritating ma
terial by copious drinking of warm wa
ter, followed by vomiting, and then CIV
ing the stomach n complete rest, allow
ing only a little diluted milk occasional
ly. The cure Of the chronic form is less
simple matter and often calls for the
use of drugs, careful dieting and the in
stitution of hygienic regime under the
physicians direction.-Youth's Compan-
ion.
