Work has been mans lot since the
creation, but a day Of toll should not
nave Its penalty of pain. Why is It.
then, you ask, that backache SO often
1oiiows? 1t is because the modern
tendency is to overwork. to tear down
raster than nature can rebuild. An
unnatural strain is thrown upon the
vital organs, and more especially up
on the kidneys, which have the work
OF fltering the blood free Of waste and
poison.
The heavy tax Of overwork-the
strain upon the back that is SO COM
mon to many trades and occupations,
Is too great. The kidneys begin ia
Tall In their work, and there Is q dou-
Die danger to health. The poisonous
natter collects in the system, and the
Kidneys themselves begin to breal,

Pain in the back is only warming

SAYS LEGISLATION

EVERY OTHER QUESTION SINKS

COMPARED TO NEED OF

Washington, D. c., April 9.-Presi-

ing message to congress: 81 here.
with submit letter from the depart
ment of justice which explains itself
Under this opinion hold the existing
statutes to give the president the

to prohibit the use of the mails 1or the
advocacy Of murder, arson and treason
l shall act upon such construction.
Asks Further Legislation.
Unquestionably, however, there
should be further legislation by con-
gress in this matter. When compared
with the suppression of anarchy, every
other question sinks into insignifi-
ance. The anarchist Is the enemy Of
humanity, the enemy Of all mankind
His is a deeper degree Of criminality
than any other. No immigrant is al
lowed to come to our shores If he is
en- anarchist; no paper published here
or abroad should be permitted cir
culation in this country If it prope-
gate anarchy.

That the United States has no ground
to intervene is made clear here and
the only exception to this would be In

jeopardy.
Prosecute Paper Trust Heads.
Washington, D. G., April 9--It Is
understood the reply by the attorney
general to the house resolution intro
duced by Speaker Cannon requesting
information as to what steps had been
taken to prosecute the paper trust"
will show that the department of JUS
tice had already taken the initial
steps to bring the paper trust officials
to trial on criminal charges, and prob
ably for that reason it will not be
possible to supply congress with much
detailed information which might
ieopardize the success of the prosecu-
