One in Every
Seven.

More people are troubled with
weak kidneys than any other form
of disease. Doctors say that one
person in every seven is thus
afflicted.
The kidneys are the sewers of
the system. In the summer they
are subjected to the greatest
strain-have the most work to do.
When they are unsound the waste
matter which they should carry
off remains in the body to shatter
the health, dull the brain and
weaken the nerves.
There never was but one way
by which the kidneys could be
kept in good working order-that
is by the use of Warmers Safe

It is not often that an authority in
any specially is moved to give his de-
ductions from actual experience in the
treatment Of any malady, for general
publication through the daily press,
and DR.. L. J. Cooke would not do so
If he did not feel that the afflicted
should have g. better understanding of
knowledge of the scientific treatment
of these neglected maladies.
In speaking of Spinal Curvature, in
particular, he said:
1T Is condition that, whatever the
cause may be, comes on gradually, so
tmperceptibly that ofttimes Is not no
ticed until It has reached several
stages of advancement, and there is
natural favoring Of the whole body
to that side. Then the curvature is
pronounced, and stage by stage it ad-
vances from bad to worse; and in the
course Of time may reach a point that
Is beyond any remedial agent.
when discovered, the best time to
begin treatment is in Its inception.
Even then, the process can only be
gradual, gentle and persuasive, to
be in harmony with nature. Heroic
treatment that seeks to coeroe nature,
by the use Of stays, braces, corsets,
bandages, or In any way binding the
body, are but implements Of torture,
cruel and useless.
''Time Is a controlling factor in the
proper treatment Of spinal curvature.
This should be borne in mind. And
this is why the profession, at large,
do not treat 1t, as the time Of the gem
eral practitioner is wholly taken up
by the urgent demands from the sick
room.
treating bony irregularities that
render so many of the human family
deformed and crippled, have made
many valuable observations, chief
among them is that of not antagoniz-
ing nature, but moving along the
smooth lines of nature, gently aiding
her to DO those things she otherwise
would do, If her weakness did not pre-
vent her.
I'm spinal curvature, my treatment
leaves the body free-giving nature a
chance-the muscles on both sides Of
the spine are equally developed SO
that as the spine gradually straightens

nothing artificial or superficial about

nent, for then they are backed by all

But Violent War of Words-They

Nursing swollen hand and in a
great rage, Max Celsius Of 2O1S Lyn-
dale avenue N, visited the sheriff's
office yesterday, and in a flow Of Teu-
tonic expletives told Sheriff Dreger
that he had been set upon and pound
cd with broom by a woman who oc-
cupied part of his house.
The sheriff listened barely restrain
ing smile at the thought Of his Ger
man friends being pounded by the
fa1r haired Amazon he pictured, and
then showed Celsius upstairs and into
County Attorney F. II. Boardman's
private office. When the complain-
ped long enough to enable the sheriff
to interpret the main cause Of action,
Mr.. Boardman directed the much
abused man to the city attorneys Of
flee and Assistant Corporation Counsel
Finney's room was the next stopping
place. The sheriff opened the door
and Celsius was ushered into the
room only to stop abruptly and with
evident terror in his voice to exclaim:
"Ach Himmell Da list sic! Da ist
sie!"
Sure enough, there. seated beside
the city attorney pouring a tale Of
woe into his ears in an endeavor to
secure a warrant for Celsius arrest,
was Rosalia Gruber, the big woman
whom the little German accused Of
having assaulted him.
When each became aware of the
others presence, everything was off
and the two enemies entered into a
violent war of words, accompanied
with gesticulations which to the un-
initiated seemed to threaten the per
sonal safety of both. The sheriff and
Mr.. Finney acted as amused referees
and did not attempt to Interfere. It
was cleaned from the avalanch of
Teutonic abuse each heaped upon the
other, that the man accused the
woman of improper proposals and the
woman accused the man of like mis-
takes. Twenty dollars entered into
the dispute and each accused the
other of successful and painful assault,
showing their respective injuries as
proof.
Finally the storm abated somewhat
and Mr. Finney suggested that the
two combatants kiss and make up."
The suggestion did not meet with the
approval Of either, but as neither
could obtain a warrant for the others
arrest they finally agreed to be good
and the man said he was going to
move his family from the woman's
neighberhood and the party broke up.

Arlstocracy Based Upon Wealth Deplored
-Snobs Scored.
George R. MacLean, president of the Uni
verstty Of Iowa and former professor of
the University of Minnesota, spoke before
the Phi Beta Kappa society in the uni
Versity chapel last evening on american
and University Expansion" He urged the
expansion Of education to offset the ter
ritorial expansion. The materialistic ten
dencies Of Americanism were criticized
and compared with the trend in Europe,
to the disadvantage Of the former. So
ciety in this country, he asserted, was
becoming composed simply Of those who
possess wealth. He believed European So
ciety had a higher and better conception
OF culture and worth. The American
snob' was roundly scored, and the belief
expressed that when a true democracy
should be attained there would be an aris-
tocracy Of service instead of one of idle
ness, waste and exclusiveness.

MRS. EDDY,s NEW BYLAW
Masons and others Not Compelled to
 Resign Membership.

Boston, May 17.--The Rev. Mary Bak- CT G. Eddy, pastor emeritus of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, who fram- ed the recent bylaw on organizations, adopted by the church. has given to the Christian Science Journal the fol- lowing explanation of this bylaw:
 I beg to inform my beloved members of the mother church that the bylaw in article xvi. of it's manual does not requires members of benevolent and pro- gressive organizations, such as the Free Masons Odd Fellows, temperance so- cieties, and those of similar cult, to resign this membership. It specifics in plan English that individuals who be- come members of our church shall not thereafter be made members of clubs or other organizations not named in it's manual, and wherefor? Because our re- ligious denomination demands the faithful attention and labor of its mem bers in all philanthropic, therapeutic and progressive Christian work for the human race and relies upon the ade- quate, scientific source and resource therefor"

BISHOPS FOR M. E. CHURCH
THE GENERAL CONFERENCE TO
 ELECT EIGHT NEW ONES.
Report of the Committee on Episcopacy Adopted--The Election to Begin To- day-The Vote for the Retirement of Bishops Andrews, Foss, Vincent and Malinrieu,

Los Angeles, Cal, May 17.--Action on two important matters was taken by the general conference of the Metho- dist church at to-days session. The re- port of the committee on Episcopacy, recommending that the conference elect eight bishops to fill the vacancies caused by death, resignation and re- tirement during the present quadren- niurn. was adopted. At the close of q heated and remarkable debate between pr. James M. Buckley and Dr. Thomas B. Neely, the two foremost parlia- mentarians of the Methodist church, the conference adopted the report of the special Judiciary committee, which finds that the conference has no executive authority to district the eepiscopacy- that is, to substitute diocesan for the present itinerant form of the residency and administration of bishops.
 The first official announcement of the vote by which on last Saturday the con- ference superannuated Bishops An drews, Mallalieu, Vincent, Foss and Walden, was made to the conference in the reading of the minutes at the open ing the session as follows:
 Andrews: For retirement, ,5S5; against, 7S
 Foss: For retirement, 500; against, 16S.
 Vincent: For retirement, 5S5; against, I7S.
 Mallalieu: For retirement, 51S; Iagainst, 90.
 The election of the eight bishops will begin tomorrow morning, and it is .ex- pected to occupy considerable time. Under the rules of the conference there |are no nominations, the delegates being! allowed to vote for whomsoever they wish.
 The most important of these refers to the election of officers. It is proposed to change the present system of nomi- nation by a committee and present the names before the convention when a nominating ballot will be taken and Iall but the two candidates who receive Ithe highest number of votes shall with draw. The delegates will then choose by ballot one of the two. The names of Mrs. Philip N. Moore of lSt. Louis. Mrs. Robert J. Burdette of California, the present vice president;
 Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker of Colorado, and Mrs. George H. Moves of Milwau- kee are those most prominently mem tioned for president

Hartford Man Meets Fatal Accident
 While IntoxIeated.

Hartford. May 17.-Michael Kitson. sixty years old, who lived at 70 Potter street, met death in a peculiar manner this afternoon while partly under the influence of liquor. He was leaning against post at Commerce and Potter streets and near him was an ice wagon. The driver of the wagon was delivering ice in a nearby store, and when he went to the wagon he found the almost Ilifelesst body of Kltson in the street, crushed in horrible manner.
