CLEANING IT UP
Health Department of New York Works Under Police Pro-
 tection-Strikers Uneasy.

New York, June 29.-Early to-day scores of carts, manned by non-union men and volunteers from the health department, sallied forth to tackle the mounds of garbage and refuse that have accumulated in the streets since the strike of the city's drivers began five days ago. The east side, where conditions are especially seri- ous because of the dense population, was first visited and at daylight con- siderable progress was being made in removing the foul smelling refuse. Conditions in some parts of this con gested district can be imagined when 1t is saidthat the accumulations have actually made streets impossible. The airis so befoulded that residents have had to keep their windows closed, a condition that adds to the discomfort in the prevailing hot spell. Several doctors. who have visited the districts where the conditions are the worst, say that great deal of sickness and many deaths must necessarily follow as a consequence of this disastrous strike.
 The health department, which has been called upon by the mayor in this emergency to prevent pestilence, is moving with vigor. Dr. Walter Ben- sel, who has been put in charge of the work with full power personally di, rected the onslaught on the garbage heaps to-day It is a curious fact that the people whose health and very lives are menaced blythe prevail ing conditions yesterday aided the strikers in an attempt to drive away workmen who had been sent to re- move the refuse. Realizing this cur ious condition Dr Bensel called for and is receiving ample police protec- tion.
 God help the man who interferes with my work" he said to-day. '1 am going to have this mass of gar bage removed in less than two days the men working night and day until the work is accomplished. In addi- tion to the police reserves we have our own force of sanitary policemen who will take care of the men"
 The strikers are showing signs of uneasiness now that the health de- partment has taken hold, and have sent communication to the news papers offering to arbitrate.

Jacob Weber, employed at the Lar

Clark street, Laramie, Wyoming,
says: Some twelve or fourteen years
ago 1 strained my back and for a mum
Der of days was laid off from work
and finally was obliged to give it up
entirely. Last spring I returned to it
and one day a sharp catch took me
in the loins and for a few minutes
could not move. The pain over my
kidneys became continual and l
thought l would have to lay off. A
neighbor told me about Doan's Kid.
ney Pills anG advised me to try them.
l had my son get a box at the Lara
mic Drug company's store. In two
or three days l could notice a decided
benefit and I kept on with their use
until l had used two boxes and by
that time, l did not have a sign of
backache and the kidney secretions
which had been highly colored, heavy
and scalding were restored to a ma
tural and normal condition. Many of
