1t used to be considered that only urn
ery and bladder troubles were to be traced
to the kidneys, but now modern science
proves that nearly all diseases have their
beginning in the disorder of these most
important organs.
The kidneys filter and purify the blood
that is their work.
Therefore, when your kidneys are weak
or out of order. you can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected and
how every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
If you are sick or "feel badly" begE

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re-

makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless and ir-

many times during the night. Unhealthy
kidneys cause rheumatism, gravel, catarrh

ache and back ache, causes indigestion,

as though you had heart trouble; you may

OF TRADE

Minneapolis, Jan. %. : Edwards,
Wood & Co. will say in their special let
ter on fax today: The activity in the
fax market continues and every upward
swing seems to carry prices to new
level, and with the advance the demand
for seed and its products, oil cake and
meal is constantly improving. The strong
statistical situation is today palmer
than it was in November and the de-
velopments of the past few weeks have
clearly disclosed what was known by
those on the inside who own the fax
seed. The time is at hand for an advance
and while prices are at a level that would
have looked higher the first of the year,
but compared with possibilities in the
future on the account of the position of
flax being so strong it is only fair to
assume that the present advance is only
nicely started. The scattered long in
terests have long since accepted profits
and those holdings have gone into strong
hands and it would not be surprising to
see prices sell close to $l.50 for the May.
There is no question but that the up
ward movement is now on in earnest
but it should be remembered that the
sharp bulges are not the places to
buy, that a good bull movement is at
tended with frequent little sharp de-
clines that are always only temporary
however.

MEETS READY RESPONS
Chief Beach Will Send Out Notices to
Build Fire Escapes.
rom Thursdays Daily.

pIOu luuISudy
When the changes suggested by Chief
Beach of the fire department have been
made at the German Catholic school, all
of the outside doors will open outward,
which they-d do not do now. With the
alterations to the approaches to the
fire escapes, and the doors opening out
ward, there will be no trouble for every
one to get out quickly, so Chief Beach
states. A stand pipe will also be put in.
Thus far, property owners have given
a ready response to the notifications of
the chief of the fire department, and he
hopes that the remainder will do so. He
is having notice prepared to send to
the owners of halls and will notify the
proprietors of the two Odd Fellows halls
and of several smaller halls to have fire
escapes built. It is understood that the
Odd Fellows halls will be supplied with
fire escapes with little delay, and it is
presumed that the owners of the other
halls will also comply with the law
voluntarily.

the news of his death came as a great
shock to him.
"About week previous the young

not unusually suffer from it's effects .un-
til a short time before his death when
it assumed the form of acute pneumonia
