Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ming in kidney trouble.

by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild

THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
The 29th Triennial COnclave In
augurated at San Francisco.
Joseph Leath, Of Knoxville, Tenn,
Dropped Dead During the Parade,
and Sir Knight Smonoff Was
Thrown From His Horse.

San Francisco, Sept. THE 10th
triennial conclave Of the Order Of
Knights Templar Was inaugurated on
Tuesday with a grand parade, which
brought into. contrast the 18th and
Goth centuries, and recalled the age OF
chivalry, when Richard Occur de Leon
and Salamin. battled for possession of
the Holy City With glittering gonfa-
Ions, with richly caparlsoned horses
prancing in gay accoutrements, 10000
men, who have passed through the
vigil of the squire and have symbol
cally received the golden spurs of
knighthood, marched with nodding
white and black plumes, with white
maltese crosses on their left shOul-
ders, with swords flashing, and with
the banner of the cross flung to the
breeze, over seven miles of the city's
gaily decorated and thronged streets,
as marched the knights and Squires
of old through the streets of Lyons
and Tourain to the rescue of the Holy
sepulchre. A striking feature of Tues
days parade was the presence in the
other officials of the templar order,
representing the Knights Templar Of
England and Wales. Their distinctive
uniforms attracted special attention.
The day was exceedingly warm, and
the long march was wearisome to the
older sir knights. A great many
dropped out before passing the re-
viewing stand.
The parade was one of the finest
ever seen in San Francisco. 1t occu-
pied nearly three hours in passing
given point, though at no time was
there any protracted delay. The ad
vance along the line of march of the
more largely represented eastern COM
manderies was signalized by contin-
uous cheers and when the band head
ing the Kentucky contingent struck up
Dixie" the enthusiasm of the specta-
tors was unbounded.
Joseph Leath, of Couer de Leon COM
mandery, Knoxville, Tenn, dropped
dead during the parade, while starting
to do knightly act. He was riding in
carriage and noticing comrade who
seemed to be almost overcome, he
stepped from his carriage to offer him
seat. AS he touched the ground he
fell dead from an apoplectic stroke.
Mr.. Simonoff, local sir knight, was
thrown from his horse and was Sc
serely injured.
The business session of the grand
commandery began Tuesday, short
meeting in the afternoon, at which the
reports of the grand officers were made.
The night program included recep-
yions by a number of communicates,
and reception to Grand Commander
Stoddard.
