The ONLY WAY

covered Il

Just what to do when the kid
heys are affected, is a question
that concerns both young and old.
Weak kidneys neglected in child
hood lead to lifelong suffering.
People of advanced years, with
less vitality, suffer doubly. In
youth or age, languor, backache,
urinary irregularity, dizziness and
nervousness make life a burden.
There is one remedy that acts
directly on the kidneys and cures
these troubles. Deans Kidney
Pills owe their worldwide fame
to the fact that they cure sick
kidneys and cure them perman-
emily. Follow the example of this
Tacoma citizen and you will be
convinced that this is SO.

Boys, learn to swim!
OF course. 1t is scarcely neces-
sary to tell real boy to learn,
for there is something in boy ma
ture that leads him to the water
about the time he escapes from
his mothers apron strings, and he
learns to swim as a matter OF
evolution.
But, boys, learn to swim cor
rectly. Once mastered, the art is
never forgotten. And you never
can tell when the knowledge will
be of value.
Everybody agrees that boys
should be able to take care OF
themselves in the water and to aid
them in the art of swimming the

as If he were kicking something.
That's just what he is doing. kick
ing the water. At the end of the
kick his legs are together, toes
pointed downward.
Don't draw your knees up under
you. Spread your legs apart-like
one of those Jack-on-a-string
things-with the knees on each
side. When kicking, strike with
the soles of the feet and push the
water from you. Finish with
your feet far apart, and then draw
them together in a straight line,
toes turned downward.
1.-THE kick should be made just
as your hands are extended for the
stroke. Do not hurry to make the
next kick or the next stroke. Take
your time. A strong, even kick
and stroke will carry you through
the water for some distance. One
fault with even good swimmers is
that they hurry the kick and lose
speed. Not till your speed begins
to slacken is it necessary to make
another stroke or a second kick. y

Disastrous Early-Morning Blaze at
Foot of Holcomb-Ave.-Three

Spontaneous combustion from OILED

which destroyed two boat houses al
the foot OF Holcomb-ave.. shortly after
2 o'clock Wednesday morning. and al
most destroyed three launches. the
Mist. Nedra and Lily. doing damage
Of close TO $4,000.
The fire Is believed to have origin
ated In the boat house OF George
Larkins, where the Mist and the
Nedra were stored. II spread quickly
to j. Lyle's boat house, where the
Lily, a speed boat. was sheltered. As
both boat houses are situated In i
marsh at the river front, the fire de-
partment was greatly handicapped.
The apparatus could get no closer To
the blaze than the foot OF Crane-ave..
and from there. the lines OF hose were
laid To the boat houses.

Constant Readvertising Fails to Cut
Prices and Contracts Are Finally
Awarded.

The common council acknowledged
the strength OF the sewer contractors.

several times In the hope OF getting low

About two months ago the council
committee rejected the first bids,
which were very low. Then the con-
tractors reached a unanimous opinion
that prices should be higher and high.
or they have been on each successive
bidding.
Haarer refused TO recommend any
bids since he had originally recon-.
mended the low bids. which were turn
ed down. Aid. Watson led fight
against approval OF the contracts. but
he was opposed by Aid. Wing, owen

tracts for Linwood and Vinewood-aves
