of kidney disease; another sure sign is
the condition of the urine; If you have a
pain in the back then look to the condition
of your urine. Take glass tumbler and
fill it with urine; after it has stood "a
hours, if it has a sediment, if it is milky or
cloudy, paleor discolored, stringy orropy,
your kidneys and bladder are in danger

The climate Of the west is also unlike

cutting down Of the western forests
has brought about rapid thaws' and
has caused the removal Of the UNDER

imperyious character OF the soil, too,
has much to do with the western Hoods.
In the deforested west we get the eX-
tremes; great floods, a parched land
As some one 50 well puts il: From

annual rainfall is over 40 inches, an
adequate water supply the year round
+, hard 10 obtain; and a city which sees
the river rioting through its streets
I'm early spring cannot find In the same
stream a sufficient volume Of flow TO
secure supply of wholesome water
for its citizens IN the late summer"
Yearly the governments work in
keeping a channel open becomes more
difficult owing to the denuding Of the
forest lands tributary to the Missis-
,ippi. I'm the deforested portions, the
soil is clay which, when shade is want
ing. quickly bakes in the heat Of the
sun. The water, instead Of sinking
into the soiL rushes over the hard
clay in torrents; or forms in shallow
lakes, soon to be eyaporated.

prevention Of floods in the main
streams 10y system Of dams and locks
for the control Of the minor streams;
IT being impossible TO control a great

startling as a volcanic eruption; but
every year the west expects such a
visitation. The aflliction is not infre-

the waters to follow unusual courses
and overflow lands considered safe
from their wrath. The conditions,
however, differ greatly on the two sides
