HIDDEN DANGERS

Uric acid is a deadly poison that is
produced IN the human body. and 1t Is
the duty of the kidneys to collect this
poison from the blood and to pass 1t
safely out of the system, together with
all waste water.
1t is the presence in the body Of an
excess of uric acid that causes so much
pain and suffering. and so many of the
aches that are commonly attributed to
rheumatism.
The kidneys are bean-shaped organs.
composed Of masses Of little tubes. all
OF which pour their secretions into
main channel that leads 20 the blad-
der. In this way the kidneys pass of
more than an ounces OF poison every
day when in health.
But IL does not take much TO set the
kidneys back, and when they get be
hind. they can not right themselves
without help. The uric acid begins to
clog the Kidneys, causing that dull,
heavy aching in the back. and sharp
twinges when STOPPING or lifting. 1t

and every turn or twist brings keenest
torture. It attacks the nerves with
neuralgia and sciatica. 1t brings head

Says Navy Bureau
System Is Costly
For Uncle Sam

''The bureau system OF conducting
the navy yards is extravagant and un-
satisfactory. There is no real business
management under il. Instead Of the
Government having a single. big. or
ganized centralized establishment at
each Of the shipyards. the situation is
practically that each bureau has a plant
OF it's own. There Is necessarily fric-
uGn among these: cooperation Is difh-
cult l have no doubt that much OF
the delay incident TO getting work done
in the yards is due 10 this faulty sys-
TEN OF organization. And / think the
Naval Committee will have something
interesting TO say about It."
Thus declared Congressman Dawson
of Iowa, member OF the Committee on
Naval Affairs. and one Of the most
active workers Mr.. Dawson doesn't
claim to know much about the alleged
defects in the American warships, but
ne IS convinced profoundly of the de-
fects in the bureau system OF organiZa-
uon Of the department, when applica-
ton OF that system reaches down "a

reform must come Moreover. he Is
confident that this Is the mind OF the
committee, which the past summer con-

work which was neglected by him was
performed by Mr.. Hughes, who was on

Attorney Claims Impropriety.
Attorney Fulton, who is representing
Dr. Chancellor. made the point this
morning that a number Of transfer. nro-
motions, and other papers were sent to
the Superfntendent's home for signature
before this board meeting, but that the
requisition for the text books was not.
This, Mr. Fulton claims, indicates that
the action OF the board was not proper.
To this Captain Oyster said:

troversy with Mr.. Fulton. who has at
