Death Turks in Sick Kidneys

The kidneys are the weak link in the

sands of victims to untimely graves Nine
ty men and women in every hundred have

vanced stage that it's recognized as kid
ney disease
We imagine we have dyspepsia, heart
disease, nervous prostration and a hun
dred and one ills, but nine times out OF
ten the real trouble is that the kidneys
are so weak and diseased that they are
utterly unable to carry the waste matters

BLOCK SIGNAL SYSTEM.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Urges Its Adoption.

Urges It's Adoption.
In submitting the report of railroad
accidents for the fourth quarter end
ing December 81, 1903, the Interstate
commerce commission makes another
strong appeal in favor Of the use of
the block signal system. After giving
the details of the casualties whereby
1,166 persons were killed and IL. 500 in
jured during the quarter, the commits
sion says:
TT should not be necessary to call
attention to the fact that the casualties
and losses here set forth have an i'm
portant bearing in connection with. the
proposition to extend the use of the
block system. Derailment No 4 (the
Baltimore & Ohio accident wherein
sixty-five met death) has indeed no
place in a discussion of the block sys-
TEN, but the other derailment and all
of the five prominent collisions occur
red under circumstances which have
been repeated in hundreds of collisions,
and these circumstances are the result
of defects for which the block system
is universally looked upon as the rem
edy. That is to say, that the block
system, while not doing away with ev-
ery element that contributed to the
causes of these collisions. does intro
duce principles of a different character
and does promote habits of obedience
and precision which have been found
to greatly reduce the death and dam

Santa Fe Begins Work on Its I'M

The contract for laying out the new
yards for the Santa Fe west of town
has been let and there can now be no
doubt that the Santa Fe will expend a
large amount of money increasing the
facilities for handling freight in the
Newton yards. Al Moore has the con-
tract for the work and by its terms he
must commence the work not later
than May I. This being the case, dirt
must begin to fly soon and by next
week the Santa Fe will have COM
menced a work that means a great ex-
pansion to its interests in Newton and
that effectually dispels all doubt as to
the intentions of the company in re-
gard to this town. NeWton's import
ance as a freight center is to be large
ly increased and the town will be a
