professional obligation, and yet the
effort to do this when the press is in
flaming the public against the many
foreign elements is taken to i'm
ply a championship of anarchy itself"
Miss Adams goes on to tell of the re-
actions of the Averbuch affair upon
the Russian Jewish colony of which
the young man was q newly arrived
member. Land about to be bought for
a rural Hebrew colony was Withdrawn
from sale, school children of the Jews
were hooted and stoned on the streets,
and young people were insulted and
jostled in the cars. All Of the colony
felt the injustice of the hasty conclu-
sion Of press and public that Averbuch
was an anarchist, which searching
investigation by the authorities failed
to establish. The injustice of it all
ranked in the minds of the foreigners,
and Miss Adams warns that the pur-
suance Of such an unlntelligent policy
may increase the very tendencies
which it is DESTROYS to suppress. She
regrets that this opportunity was not
different and more fair is the course
of justice in America. On the contrary,
the Chicago police had outraged decen-
cy in their treatment of the Russians
and utterly ignored their constitutional
rights, the sister of Averbuch being
''sweated" inhumanly in sight of her
brothers dead body. The same papers
which spread the charge of anarchy
did nothing to correct that impression
when the inquest failed to disclose an
archist connections of the boy Shippy
shot. Since that event membership in
all the radical societies among the Rus
slams has increased rapidly, registering
the conviction that in a moment of
panic republican government cared
no more for justice and fair play than
an autocratic government did" Final
ly attention is called to the fact that
the police themselves lay the acts Of
violence to their own repressive meas
ures and then advocate more repres-
sion.

no reply to his query, he proceeded to

was to follow, for on the class being

ing Is years old at the time.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about 500
grains of impure matter daily, when
unhealthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
toms-pains in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin. rheuma-
tism, govt, gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness,
regular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc.
But if you keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kid
neys.
