When past middle age, there comes
a noticeable weakening of the organs
of the body, and the danger of quick
decline. 1t is quite necessary to give
prompt help to any part that first
shows signs of wear.
Healthy kidneys mean a hale old
age. Weak kidneys bring constant
backache, lame back. stitches and
twinges of pain, annoying urinary
troubles, and the danger of diabetes

their full strength. as an overwhelming
proportion OF the los members yet to be
elected will surely be oppositional. The re-
suits promise a stormier session than that
of last year. The bowling down of minis
tiers, II is claimed, will be supplemented by
battles royal between the radicals and the
aggressive reactlonists under the leadership
of men like NJ. Kroushevan. the notorious
anti-semite of Kishinev.
NJ Kroushevan has received many threat
ening letters, to which the organ of the
reactlonists, the Russian Banner, replies
with a first page notice in display type to
the effect that M. Vinaver. Joseph Hessen,

was then decided "to advise the members
of the union to restore order"
General Kaulbars, however, insisted that
the Black Hundred should not be dis
armed because they are the only true
patriots in Russia"
1t was becoming evident that the patri-
otto activity of the Black Hundred was
merely a subterfuge for the organization
of anti-Jewish attacks similar to those OF
last year, with the purpose of melting the
Jews to commit disorders that would neces-
state the Intervention of Cossacks as a
result of which wholesale killing Of Jews
and the looting of properties might ensue
Thanks, however, to General Gregorieff
the project of Odessa, with whom the cor
respondent of the Associated Press dis
cussed the local situation Today and who
recently went to St. Petersburg in order
personally to report the situation to the
emperor, a disastrous anti-Jewish attack
has been averted
The much talked of Black Hundred are
mere school boys, ranging in age from IL
to II years. and armed with automatic re-
volvers Encouraged by the sympathetic
addresses of General KauiDars, they at
tackled the Jews and took part in the cleo
toral activity. Handbills bearing a picture
of the emperor was pasted throughout the
city, requesting all partisans to attack the
Jews and boycott the anti-monarchical par
ties. The Black Hundred paraded through
the streets, bareheaded, carrying busts of
the emperor and the empress between huge
Russian banners and shouting Beat the
Jews"
These tactics resulted in wholesale anti
Semitic excuses without the slightest in
PREVENTION on the part Of the police. When
ever Jews ventured to draw weapons In
self-defense they were at once arrested,
and many innocent Jews have been hanged
or otherwise punished. Jewish women have
been violated and the cuprits generally
went unpublished.
In consequence Of the diminution OF dis
orders, commerce again is becoming normal
and the theaters and restaurants are re-
opening The Intervention of Premier
stolypin has, to certain extent, treasured
