THE PENALTY OF OVERWORK

Work has been mans lot since the creation, but day of toll should not have its penalty of pain. Why is it, then, you ask. that backache so often follows? It is because the modern tendency is to overwork. to tear Gown faster than nature can rebuild. An unnatural strain Is thrown upon the vital organs, and more especially upon the kidneys, which have the work of Altering 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 to fail in their work. and there is a double danger to health. The poison ous matter collects in the system, and the kidneys themselves begin to break down.
 Pain in the back is only a warning of trouble in the kidneys. An infiam- nation has set fin, and a disordered condition of the urine soon becomes apparent

Chancellor Snow Dead

DR.. Snow, former chancellor OF
Kansas University, died Sunday at
Delafield, Wisconsin. For the past
eighteen months DR.. Snow has been
suffering from nervous break down
caused by overwork in April Of last
year. Early this summer he was
removed to a sanitarium at Delafield,
Wisconsin, where 1t was thought he
would get better.
Several years ago he willed his
brain to the University for exper-
mental purposes. At that time this
strange will was made, the discussion
Of the brain was uppermost in the
investigation Of psychologists. 1t
is known that DIR. Snow had an abb
normal capacity for knowledge and
the experiments will probably reveal
some extraordinary physical phenom-
enon.
DR.. Snow has been connected with
the University Of Kansas from the
first. He has not only gained a
reputation as a Kansas natural sci
enlist, but parts Of his work is as
familiar to scholars in Europe as to
Americans.
DR.. Snow will be remembered by
many Kansas farmers as the dis
coverer of chinch bug exterminator
1t was in the early COS that DR..
Snow discovered how farmers could
rid themselves Of the chinch bugs.
From all parts Of the state bugs
were expressed to DR.. Shows labora-
tory. He inoculated the bugs with
a serum and sent them back to
their respective starting places, wher
they we're turned loose in the field.
1t is said that after these inoculat.
ed bugs were let at large in a field
where the pest was thick, 1t would
only be several days before all the
bugs in the field were killed.

William ]. Bryan arrived In New
York last Friday and proceeded at
once to the Democratic headquarters
In the Hoffman house. At Jersey CT
he was besieged by newspaper men,
who wanted him to elaborate his
charges made at Harrington. Del, and
again at Wilmington, that the Off
cials Of the United States Steel corpo
ration were supporting the Republi.
can party in the campaign. In re-
ply to the question:
Does your charge that the Repub-
hcan party in protecting the steel
trust extend to the chief executive?"
he replied.
Il stated what everybody knows
that the steel trust has not been
prosecuted and that no prominent Re
publican has said anything against it.
l have also said that the steel trust
is supporting the Republican ticket
and that the Republican national CON
mitee will not dare to publish before
election the contributions which they
will receive from the officials of the
steel trust. Mr.. Sheldon virtually
admits this in an interview in the
New York Herald. He is the treasur
er of the Republican national COM
mittee and as l understand it a di.
rector of Constituent corporations Of
the steel corporations. He is quot.
ed as saying:
If member of the executive com.
mittee or an officer of the United
States Steel corporation wishes to
support the Republican party, hasn't
he the same right as any other indi
vidual?"

up nice gold brick and give it to
the governor and told him 1t was q

didn't. He throwed it into the scrap

The Sunday School Institute at the

inclusive was a success both as regards
attendance and interest. All who were
assigned topics responded cheerfully,
performing their duties in gratifying
and creditable manner. Rev. Rupard' 5
addresses were especially inspiring and
helpful. He is master in this line OF
work and all Sunday School workers who
missed this treat, should regret their
absence. Much credit for the success OF
the meetings is also due the local pastor,
Rev. D. B. Jackson, who worked untir-
