Watch the Kidneys
WHEN THEY ARE AFFECTED LIFE %
IN DANGER


DR.. ABERNRTHT, the great English
physician and s1rgeon, well known to all
physicians, sounded words Of warning 70
the medical profession and to all mankind
when he uttered the words: "W'Gtcb tie
Kidneys: wbeS they GTs affected life IS
50 DANGER"
It is the duty Of these organs to keep
our blood strained Of poisonous impurities
that are capable Of causing the most fatal
forms Of disease. When they do not per
form their work properly, then trouble IN
some form Is sure to follow sooner or later,
and If neglected, death will follow.
Some of the most important symptoms
are, aching in the back or hips, swollen
ankles, pufiness under the eyes, dry or
furred tongue, unnatural appetite and
great thirst, weakness and loss Of weight
sediment or cloudiness In the urine, dry
ness Of the skin or strong Precipitation,
disorders Of the stomach and liver.
All the above symptoms do not appear
In any one case, and all kidney disorders
will not present the same symptoms.
There is nothing that so quickly and
surely makes the kidneys right as FoLEY's
KIDNEY CURE. It is a preparation Of the
best known remedies used by the worlds
most celebrated kidney specialists. It u
endorsed by physicians and used by thou.
sands. 1t has saved many lives, and while
It cannot cure hopeless cases, it will pre-
vent fatal kidney troubles and give relief
IN even the last stages of kidney disease

Suddenly out of the haze the Grand Re

Engines were reversed but the vessels

As the boats collided there was a grind

and she shook from end to end and leaned
far 10 port. On both boats women scream
ed and rushed for life preservers.
When the crash came he crew Of the

BALTIMORE. Aug. 1S.-The burned
district commission issued a statement
yesterday to the effect that up 20 last
Thursday evening 23S building permits
had been issued in the burned district
The declared value of these permits
amounts 10 S5,545. 400.
The commissioners are Of the opinion
that there will be fewer buildings In the
burned district when the rehabilitation
is complete. The street widening and
extension, II is believed, will cut down
the number at least 10 per cent. In
addition, there are several cases where
two or more Of the original lots will be
covered by one building.
The commission has made an investi-
cation Of the supposed combination of
the wharf property owners against the
city. and has come to the conclusion
that If a combination ever existed it
was not binding
1T has been found so far" said Com
missioner Lord. that II there was such
thing as real combination it was
not OF binding character. Any prob
erty owner was at liberty to draw out
at any time. and surrender his prom
erty TO the city at the commission :

much In fact, they cannot be termed a
combination at all. In the case of prop
