That Lame Back Mean
Kidney Disease
And to Relieve the Lame and Aching Back,
You Must First Relieve the Kidneys

There is no question about that
at all-for the lame and aching
back is caused by a diseased con-
dition Of the kidneys and bladder.
It is only common sense, any way
that you must cure a condition
by removing the cause OF the con-
dition. And lame and aching back
are not by any means the only
symptoms of arrangement of the
kidneys and bladder. There are a
multitude of well-known and un-
mistakable indications OF q more or
less dangerous condition. Some OF
these are, for instance: Extreme
and unnatural lassitude and weari.
ness, nervous irritability, heart ir-
regularity, NERVES on edge" sleep
lessness and inability to secure
rest, scalding sensation and sedi-
ment In the urine, Inflammation of
the bladder and passages, etc.
DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder
Pills are an exceptionally meritori-
Gus remedy for any and all afec-
lions or diseased conditions Of
these organs. These Pills operate
directly and promptly-and their
beneficial results r at once felt.
They regulate, purify, and ehec-
tually heal and restore the kid
neys, bladder and liver, to perfect
and healthy condition-even in
some OF the most advanced cases.

Prison Worker Here.

Rev. j. B. Bollman of Kansas
City, the well known prison work

among the churches in Lexington
Sunday. The Society for the
Friendless is doing much to pre-

when released from prison.
More than 800 exprisioners
were aided by this society during
the past two years. Only about
one-fourth of the men disappoint
the workers and less than ten
per cent. return to prison. Mr..
Bollman addressed the high
school Monday morning and the
cadets Tuesday morning. He can

WENTWORTH WINS TWO.
First Team Defeats Buckner and
Third Team Worsts High
School.

The Wentworth first and third
teams were both victorious in Sat
urday contests. The first team
defeated Buckner Is to 0 and
then the third team defeated the
high school 20 to 0.
The Bucknerites did not quite
come up to expectations and were
not so fast as they were last year.
For a time in the first half they
did some terrific line smashing
with telling effect but Riley 5
punting saved the cadets from
being scored on. Defensively the
visitors were lacking. White, on
right end was their best man and
spoiled a number of plays by his
fierce tackling.

the most sensational play of the

other scores came from a safety,
a touchdown by straight foot
ball and a goal from placement
by Owen.
The lighter teams in the second
contest played harder and, il
spite of the score, were more
evenly matched. Defensively the
