 WEAK BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Half the Common Aches and Ills of Pine
 Bluff People.

As one weak link weakens chain, so weak kidneys weaken the whole body and hasten the final breaking down.
 Overwork. strains, colds and other causes injure the kidneys, and when their activity is lesseaed the whole body suffers from the eXcess Of uric poison circulated in t.e blood.
 Aches and pains ah1 languor and urinary ills come, and there is an ever-increasine tendency towards diabetes and fatal Bright's disease. There is no real help for the sufferer except kidney help.

 CHIEF OF POLICE
Canadian Officer Poisoned by Weeds Eczema Developed and Legs Became ScaIy-AnkIes were Very Sore and Itchy For Weeks He Could Not Wear Shoes.
FREED FROM ITCHING
 BY CUTlCURA REMEDIES

"I have been successfully cured of dry eczema. I was inspecting the re- moval of noxious weeds, it being part of my duty, from the edge of river and was constantly in the dust from the weeds. At night shook out my trou- sars and cleansed my limbs, but felt prickly sensation. paid no attention to it for two years, but noticed scum on my legs like fish scales. I could scrape it of, and yet I did not attend to it until it came to be too itchy and sore and began getting two running sores. My ankles were all sore and scabby and could not wear shoes. had to use carpet and felt slippers for weeks
 I was then on particular police duty and was compelled to be on duty. I got a cake of the Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura Ointment. In less than ten days I could put on my boots and in less than three weeks, though on duty all the time, I was free from the con founded itching. I tell you frankly that Cuticura saved me from what the doctors called bad leg. Capt. George P. Bliss, Chief of Police, Morris, Mani toba, Mar. 20, 1907, and Sept. 24. 19oS.''

HUSBAND SUSPECTED OFLAURA REGISTERS MURDER
Information That He Has Been Twice Insane and on Account of the Man. gled Condition of the Woman's Body Has Started Police of Providence on This New Trail.
Especial from United .Press.)

Special from United .Press.)
 Providence, May F. Information that Ernest Allen, the husband of Lau- Ia Register, whose fiendishly mangled body was found in the Jewish Gene tery here yesterday, has been twice insane, to-day started the police of Providence on a new trail to the solu- ton of the mystery of her murder.
 As soon as the girls body was found the way in which her clothing was scattered for hundreds of feet and other indications led the police to be- lieve that the crime was the work of a maniac. An autopsy later revealed the fact that the strangler's pressure on his victims throat was so great as her thorax. It seemed to have been almost too great force to have been exerted by any one other than exces- sive maniacal strength.
 Running down every possible clue the police here interviewed Aliens mother who lives in Providence. It is said she told the police that her son had been divorced for some time and that at times his mind seemed par tially unbalanced. ''The way Laura treated Ernest broke his heart and his mind. believe" said Mrs. Allen. "He has never been the same since the day she left him. At present he is working on a. farm near Hope Valley. | haven't seen him for some time.''
 Hope Valley, thirty miles from Prov idence, at once became the police ob- jective and a detail at once started for that place with the idea of question ing Allen closely as to his whereabouts on the night of the crime.
 Allen maintains stoutly that he had no hand in the murder of his former wife and that he can easily prove that he was in Hope Valley all of the night before last when the woman was bru- tally murdered here.

DRAGGING THE RIVER FOR DEAD BODIES
 OF WORkMEN
Now Believed that Twenty Lost Their Lives in the Capsizing of a 24 Foot Gasolene Yawl at Pitts burg-Men Anxious to Get Home from Work Crowded Into the Little Vessel.

Pittsburg May 12.-With three bod ies already recovered and between 20 and 25 still missing. it is now believed that the number of workmen who lost their lives in the capsizing of a "A foot gasoline yawl in the Ohio river oppo- site McKeesrocks last night will ex- ceed 20. All the victims were work men returning to thelr homes m the lower north side. They had been work ing overtime at the plant of the pressed Steel Car Works at McKees- rocks. In their eagerness to ge to their homes the men made rush for the little yawl and it was made to carry more than it's capacity. It began to settle soon after leaving Mckees- rocks and then started to ship water and when mid-Stream was reached 1t overturned and sank. hurling it's oc- cupants into the chilling water. few managed to climb ashore and eight were rescued in a thrilling manner by John Dear, an engineer Of a ferry boat.
 1t is believed today that no less than 40 men were crowded into the little vessel. Among the missing are Albert Graham. Henry Vogley, William Davis. Anthony BailL John Rutzke. Thomas Langden. Nicholas Bruscker. Frank Neel, James Cotter. William Ca dugan. Edward Lutherage. Waiter Lutherage. John Thompson. John Mat Zul2. J6IO NlHIO, GdWdIo Di oAAO eAAN Thomas Kennedy.
 River men are declaring today that the vessel should not have carried more than 24 men and say it was hazardous to attempt the trip across. Hardly had the vessel left the dock than the water began to creep in. Several passengers called the attention of Albert Graham, the ferryman. to the situation but he did not seem to be worried. As the boat went further out into the stream it was seen to be in distress. Graham evidently noticed this and he in creased it's speed and diverted his course somewhat so as to reach shore quickly. .-..
 Near midstream the vessel filled rap idly and before anything could be done several passengers had leaped into the river A moment later the yawl went down throwing the entire crew into the river far from either shore. The yawl sank but rose again to the surface. It was then too far away for any of the victims to seize it. Many were help less when they struck the water and being unable to swim. they sank with out putting up much of a struggle to swim ashore. A large force of police men and river men are dragging the river today.
