All the blood in the body passes

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
i'll the blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms-pain in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot, Edry
skin, rheumatism, govt. gray el, disorders
of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness,
irregular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsy, deposite in the urine, etc. But
if you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.

DASTARDLY LETTER OUT.
Cruel Wretch Makes Threats That

I Not content with rending the heart
OF Luman Moon, father of the drowned
boy Harold, for whom a countrywide
4 search was made, by decoying him to

or all, the writer attempts to make
the father believe that the lad was
hurled into Thread pond and drowned
after he had failed to place the money
demanded for his sons ransom in the
mouth of the old park cannon in Della
van.
From the absurdity of trying to
make the family believe the boy was
the victim Of his supposed captors-
as the body showed it had been In the
water long time and the little skates
were on Harold's feet-it was at first
believed the second letter was hoax
and that some feeble or evil-minded
person had sent it TO annoy Mr. Moon
and crafty a morbid tendency. How
ever, on the advice of the police, the
letter was forwarded to the Pinkerton
detectives in Chicago, whence the let
ter came. The first one was from
Delavan, Wis.
Mr.. Moon and the Flint police are
of the opinion that the letter, which is
apparently in the same handwriting
as the first one, was sent by the same
vampire. Like the earlier missive it
was written in pencil and there was
no signature. At the bottom of the
sheet was a skull and cross bones,
rudely drawn. While a demand is
made for $4,000, with a penalty of
death of Mrs. Moon and her daughter
Marian, aged II. no. method of deliver
ing the ransom is suggested.
The second letter from the black
mailer, as II to make the wound deep
er, arrived just before the funeral SER
vice over the body of Harold Lester
Moon, the 16-year-old brother of Har
old, after the funeral told Sheriff
Parkhurst of the threatening letter
but the family and officers succeeded
In keeping the matter temporarily
quiet.
The Chicago Pinkerton detective
who is working on the Moon case in
Delavan, and who believes he recog-
nized the man when he was proving
about the park in the vicinity of the
cannon, is one who aided in ferriting
out the disappearance of the Cudahy
boy, who was kidnapped a few years
ago by Pat Grove
Mr.. Moon has placed the case en-
tirely in the hands of the Pinkertons
and is awaiting developments. In the
meantime he is taking good care to
guard the members of his family from
harm.
