Men and women of every occupation
overtax the kidneys and suffer daily
miseries when the kidneys begin to fail.
Any work that is constant strain on
the back is bound to hurt the kidneys.
The lifting, digging and planting of
farm work, the constant bending over
desk or sitting at a sewing machine,
working for hours on jarring, jolting
wagons or railroad trains; the stopped
positions and the reaching, pulling and
heavy lifting of a hundred different
trades-all these are hard on the back
and must wear, weaken and injure the
kidneys, because the kidneys are in the
very part Of the back that feels the
strain. When the kidneys are sick,
every exertion sends sharp stinging
pain through the back or loins, and you
are weary and tired all the time.
Many tasks, like homework, that do
not require great physical strength, are
very trying on the back and kidneys.
That is why backache is SO common.
That is why so many women are I'M
naturally weak and tired and sleep
less. .t..

OF MUSICAL PARENTAGE
Walter Damrosch's Father and Mother
Both DISTINGUISHED Artists. ~,

Walter Damrosch, conductor Of the
New, York Symphony orchestra which
appears tomorrow evening at the Audi
torium, comes of distinguished musical
parentage. His father was DR.. Leo
pold Damrosch, the famous German
composer and conductor, and intimate
friend of Wagner and List. Walter
Damrosch's mother, Helene Won Holm
burg, was celebrated singer OF Ger
man songs, particularly those Of Schu-
bert and Schumann.
The program for the concert tomor-
row evening includes one of Tschaikow-
sky's symphonies-the ifth-for Wal
ter Damrosch is considered by many the
greatest American interpreter of the ia
nous Russian composer and Tschaikow-
sky left to him the score Of his Sympho-
ny Pathetique. *sls,,7. -.
It is interesting to note that altho
Mr.. >Damrosch used the regulation ba-
ton when he began conducting, twenty
years ago, today he uses only little
stick about the size Of lead pencil, to
indicate the time, and even that is
merged sometimes into the mere glance
of the eye or the lifting of finger, so
thoroly has the orchestra been trained.

" Ant BOARD TO
RETAIN .HENNEPIN
PROPERTY OWNERS DISCUSS THE
SITUATION.
Consensus of Opinion at Mass Meeting
Is That Park Board Should Be Com
PEELED to Fulfill It's Part of the Agree.
ment to Maintain Street as Boule-
ward.

Hennepin avenue as parkway was
the subject of discussion at a mass
meeting held last evening at Grace
Presbyterian church to protest against
the abandonment of that thorofare as
parkway. There was only one opinion
among those present and that was that
the park board should be compelled to
fulfill its part of the agreement to main
tain the street as boulevard. A com
mittee consisting of S. c. Confer, j.
H. Riheldaffer, Judge r. G. Harvey, s.
S. Martin and Benjamin Webb, was del
egated to ascertain what steps could
be taken to bring the matter into the
courts.
Judge F. c.. Harvey spoke at some
length on the history of Hennepin ave-
nue. as a parkway, and stated that af-
Ter the board had obtained control Of
the street from Lowry Hill to Lake
eleven-foot strip from each side. With
the exception of a few lots the land
was decided to the park board without
other compensation than that the abut-
ting property should forever be exempt
from special assessments for street i'm
provements.
In 1898 the supreme court, in de-
cision, held that public highway
could not be taken for a parkway from
which ordinary traffic could be ex-
Guided. The board did it's best to live
up to it's agreement for number Of
years, but the heavy traffic ruined all
It's improvements and the condition of
the street soon became deplorably bad.
Being unable to- pave the street and
not having the means to keep it in
repair, the board, after negotiating
with the city council over the transfer
Of the street and reaching no conclu-
sion, relinquished it's authority.
The position of the park board is
that it has no authority TO- use money
raised for park purposes for maintain,
ing traffic streets.
The meeting was attended by Score
tary J. A.. Ridgway of the park board
Aldermen E. w. Clark and Plat b
man A. E. Merrill of the fourth.

CROWDS NEXT SUMMER
Minneapolis Will Be Filled With Visi
tors at National Gathering.

Few cities of the United States will
be in class with Minneapolis next
summer when it comes to visitors. The
city is becoming more and more of a
summer resort, and in addition will
have thousands Of visitors on account
of the G.. A. r. encampment and other
national gatherings that are to convene
here. George L. Rhodes Of the West
ern Passenger association places the
number Of visitors that may be ex-
pected during encampment week alone
at between 100000 and ~250,000. l.
Last year was also a successful sea-
son according to Mr.. Rhodes. The Min
neapclis valuation office had applica.
ton for H. 94 valuations Of round
trip transportation between June and
Nov. 1. In addition many visited the
city on one-way transportation or came
in over lines not in the association
Most Of those who came on round-triI
transportation spent considerable time
in the city either for pleasure or tt
look about for business openings.

SEWER ROUTE CHANGED
Council Committee Cancels Order for
Line on Douglas Avenue.

Owners Of property on Knox avenue
between Douglas and Lincoln avenues
appeared before the council committee
on sewers yesterday afternoon to urge
the annulment Of the assessments for
sewer on Douglas avenue from Knox to
James, and made such strong show
ing that the committee aEnulled the
sewer. It is the contention of the ma
iority of the residents of the city that
the sewer should be laid south on Knox
avenue to Franklin and thence to the
Lake of the Isles sewer. This plan was
supported by Aldermen A. b.. Merrill
and Starkweather of the fourth ward.
The Douglas avenue sewer, it was ar
gued, would benefit only one man, while
the substitute plan would accommodate
many.

Delivery of Merchandise. .5
The proposition receiving the greatest
amount of attention at present relates
to the delivery Of merchandise; to as
sisting the farming population to pur-
chase supplies and have them delivered
at their doorsteps. The eminent

but not merchandise in any: quantity, as
the tax, which amounts to Is cents per

very much larger than is charged for
the same service in the European coun-

Originally, rural delivery carriers

and to do shopping for the farmers
families along their routes. 1t was a
great accommodation to the people. A
farmers wife could send to town any
day for a spool of thread or a pound
of coffee or sugar. 1t was not com
.pulsory on the part Of the carrier and

services. Jealous and spiteful mer-
chants who were not patronized com
planned to members of congress and

quently filed charges so that the depart

regular duties, the public convenience
would be served and the revenues OF
