Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement Of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by proper
treatment Of the kidneys. II you are feel
Ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Kilmers Swamp-Root, the

heart searching yesterday at the annual

Boulton, announced that the American
subscriptions to the memorial lbs Rome

subscriptions came only to $4,000. A

point why American were responding so

Earl Crewe. who presided at the meet

WARNING FOR THE BOYS.
There is Preventive of Lockiaw and They Should Know It Before the 4th.

The Chicago health department re- peats it's statement that tetanus anti toxin, when given in time, is an abso- iute preventive of lockjaw. If it is un- fortunate that this information, which is of so much value to the boys who in- tend to play with firecrackers and oth- CT explosives on the Fourth of July, cannot be brought directly home to them. They do not get the health de- partment bulletins. They are not great readers of the newspapers and miss most of the good advice given them therein. If they would be made to un- derstand that Fourth of July wounds, no matter how trivial they may seem, may be fatal unless promptly and prop erly treated, there would be a much smaller death roll. Whenever a boys finger was cut by a bit of percussion cap or burnt by a cracker, he should report the injury and proclaim himself ready for an injection of tetanus anti toxin.
 The department of health of New York city is having printed "con- sumption catechisIn, which is to be distributed among the school children. Those who can be persuaded to read it will be benefited. It did not occur to the Chicago health department to print a brief 'Iockjaw catechism" and dis tribute it among the children in the public and parochial schools.
 It is not too late, however, to give them little good advice by word of mouth. It will impress them more if they get it in that way than if it were to come to them in print. The public schools have their closing exercises this week. The following week the boys and some of the girls will be cou1ing the dangers of the Fourth. Before teachers and pupils part company the former might, with propriety, say few words to their charges on the subject of Fourth of July injuries, lockjaw and tetanus antitoxin. In that way the in- formation given by the health depart ment will reach many of those who are most ill need of it.-Chicago Tri- bune,
