The headaches and dizzy feelings

The headaches and dizzy feelings lhat trouble so many persons. are often but symptoms of kidney com plaint.
 Kidney diseases are very treacher- ous. They come on silently. gain ground rapidly. and cause thousands of deaths that could have been pre- vented by treatment in the beginning.

 If these signsls are unheeded. there comes a steady. dull. heavy aching in the back and loins. noticeable weakness and loss of flesh. rheumatic attacks. weakening of the sight. ir- regular heart action. langour. attacks of gravel. irregular passages of the Kidney secretions. sediment. painful, sralding sensation. dropsical bloat- ing. etc.

THE RED MILL"

Of all the musical successes which were endorsed by New York the past season, none stood out more boldly, and continued throughout the entire year. as did Charles Dillingham's production of the Henry Blossom and Victor Herbert's musical story "The Red Mill" which in point of audiences and business has never been equalled in the metropolis by any musical play. The tone of refinement which per- vades, the modest and picturesque costuming, the interesting and clever story of two American tourists who have gone broke on travelling trip and the many complicated situations they find themselves in, including the escape from the mill, form one of the most sensational stories ever given a musical setting. It will be seen at Polfs Tuesday, August 20. Seats on sale Saturday, August IT. Telephone lOS4. %

Mrs. Carrie Mac Cormac Killed Un-
 der Auto st Norwalk, Conn.
 SOUTH NORWALK. Conn, Aug. 16.eMrs. Carrie Mac Cormac was fn- stantly killed and her husband. Paul Mac Cormac. young millionaire of New York, is in the hospital as re- suit of a collision between carriage containing four people and an auto mobile in which were Mir. and Mrs. Mac Cormac and which Mac Cormac was driving in the town of Norwalk, short distance from the Darien line on the Connecticut turnpike. Mac Cormac, it is believed, has chance for recovery, although he may lose his left leg.
 Mrs Norton of Stamford and her sis ter, who were in the carriage, were thrown out. Mrs. Norton's elbow was broken, and her sisters shoulder was dislocated
 The automobile, six cylinder high power runabout, had started down declivity running at high speed, 1t is cdiu, " hCH IL lhCt thC iidSC SOuilh6 in the opposite direction. The latter was overturned and the occupants spilled out, receiving painful but not serious injuries. The forward wheel of the car flew off, causing it to swerve to one side, run up bank and into wire fence and tree. turning over as it did so. Mac Cormac was thrown forward. missing the tree by few feet. Mrs. Mac Cormac. who had been seated beside him. had her skull frac- tured against the tree and was crushed beneath the machine. Mac Cormac's injuries consist principally of com pound fracture of the left leg. while his right leg was wrenched. He was picked up unconscious. The car was entirely wrecked.
 At the hospital Mac Cormac is in a semi-conscious state and keeps nut tering something about making a rec ord from New Haven to New York.

hangs over his head the sword Oh

Four Good Things
These four things. at least, have been
found good Cd An ample and sanitary
Jail with careful separation OF the con-
victed and the accused. 90 A probation
system for adults as well as children. CD
A reformatory in place of the old hope
less prison. (D An indeterminate SEN
tence permitting the guarded and condi-
tlonal release Of the reformed and the
perpetual detention of the incorrigibie.
Which Of these wise changes have we
adopted here? am sorry to say not one
"First-We have a jail, intended for
three hundred, where almost twice that
number are confined, two or three
crowded in a room: the accused and the
convicted treated alike; no modern plumb
ing. the calls of nature answered IN the
cell, and out of the twenty-fcur hours OF
idleness and sloth thirty minutes OF ex-
ercise.
''Second-We have no probation system
whatever except for children. A boy
just past his seventeenth birthday comes
up for sentence for his first offense. You
can send him to the workhouse for six
months or less. You can send him 70 the
Jail for not more than year. Or, II the
sentence be longer than year, ne can
/ he sent 20 the penitentiary But one Of
&
smite him on the spot.
"Third-Excepting the reform school Tor
children, we have no reformatory what
ever For all those graver offenses which
the statutes declare shall be punished in
the penitentiary. we have no institution
in the District. Sentence is imposed and
the convict goes where the Department
Of Justice sends him, TO some State peui-
Tertiary with which it may have con-
tract Some of the States have real re-
formatorles and laws that provide for in
F.! determinate sentences. But we cannot
send our prisoners to these. Doubtless
they are full already. and If they are not,
We cannot send our prisoners to be held
or released according TO the laws of other
States. What we need in this respect is
a true refOrmatOry here ia the District OF
Columbia and a law that will permit the
offender 20 be sentenced for q term whose
length shall be determined by the
reformation Of the prisoner himself-a
prison that shall be what every prison
ought TO be. moral hospital"
