PREPARE THIS
IN YOUR HOME
People Taking Less Patent
Medicine and More Home
Remedies

There are more cases of kidney trou-
BILE here now than ever before. while
recent reports show that NOR peo-
pie succumb each year to some form
OF kidney disease than an other
cause.
When there is sickness, examine
the urine. rheumatism is only a
symptom of kidney trouble. 1t is
nothing more or less than excessive
uric acid in the blood, which the slug
gish, inactive kidneys have failed to
sift out. leaving it to decompose and
settle about the joints and muscles,
causing intense suffering; frequently
resulting in deformity; often reach
ing the heart when death ensues.
Pains across the back, frequent
painful and suppressed urination and
other symptoms of weak bladder are
not the only signs of kidney trouble;
many cases Of stomach disease, head
ache, pain in the heart. inactive liver;
etc, are but symptoms; the cause of
which can be traced to feeble, clogged
kidneys.
A simple test of the urine is TO
void a small quantity in a bottle or
glass and let it stand over night:
next morning. if there is a reddish
brick dust sediment or white fleecy
substance present, either consult some
reputable physician or take good
vegetable treatment. The following
prescription is recommended highly
in these cases, and the sufferer can
mix it at home: Compound Kargon,
one ounce; Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one-half ounce; Compound Syrup Sar-
saparilla, three ounces. Shake well
and use in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime.
Where any of the symptoms emu
merated above are present, good re-
suits are sure to follow Immediately
the use of this simple prescription.

Brings SHAME To
CHICAGO POLICE
MEMBER OF FORCE BRANDED A
COWARD AND DISMISSED
FROM FORCE.

Chicago, Dec 18.-Patrolman Emil
e. Kolar was discharged in disgrace
from the Chicago police department
yesterday for cowardice.
Brutality intoxication, insubordina-
ton, neglect of duty, failure to pay a
debt, sleeping on duty-removal for
such charges have. been of sufficiently
frequent occurrence no longer to excite
comment. A removal for cowardice.
prior to the punishment visited upon
Kolar, is not remembered by the old
est policeman in the department.
Kolar was patroling Halsted street
last Monday night when Barnett
Greenberg was shot dead in his pawn
SHOP, 843 South Halstead, by a thief
whom he had detected stealing a.
watch. The shot attracted crowd.
Kolar skulked behind, and when. the
murderer appeared remained in the
rear Of the crowd, which followed the
man until he had disappeared
Some one in the crowd said: Look
out, he Is a dangerous mani"
well, I have to take care Of my
SELF" was Kolars declaration to his
superior officer afterward.
These circumstances, which caused
the discharge Of Kolar, are set forth
in the following report made by in
spector Dorman, who was Kolar's sup
erior officer, at the Maxwell street po-
lice station:
Several citizens called the officers
attention to the man who fired the
shot, but the officer made no effort to
apprehend him, but followed in the
wake of the crowd that was pursuing
the murderer. At Mather street,
where the murderer turned east. Of
ficer Kolar stopped and did not follow
down that street. but turned back.
II was at the scene OF the murder
short time after 1t occurred and In a
conversation with citizens stated
that IL was a shame that some effort
was not made by tine crowd to catch
the mur1erer. A citizen spoke up and
said:
"Why should we try to catch the
man when that officer was present and
made no effort to arrest him because
some citizen said Look out! He is 8
dangerous man?
while there I also spoke to the of
ficer and he said he did not know that
a man was killed.
when demanded to know why he
did not make an effort to apprehend
the man, who was not even running.
but kept on walking, the officer said:
IT have to take care OF myself
From all the facts that / have been
able to gather in this matter found
that Probationary Policeman Kolar
was guilty Of an act of cowardice that
ought not to be tolerated In the de-
partnent. and I therefore recommend
his removal"
Chief Steward said: 1T was a plain
case OF c0wardice. Kolar was evident
ly not cut out to be a policeman, and,
II being in my power to do so, dis
charge him. =
The discharged policeman was ap-
pointed to the force Oct 20, 1909, and

TROUBLES OF
THE GAYLEYS
DIVORCE PAPERS ARE SAID TO
BE UNDER PREPARA-
TION.

New York, Dec. 1S.-James Gayley.
ex-vice president of the United states
Steel corporation, who is one of the
eleven Carnegie bows" who were made
millionaires through the friendship of
Andrew Carnegie, is understood to be
preparing papers in a divorce suit
which it is expected will be filed In
Reno, New, in a short while
II do not know if Mr.. Gayley is con-
templating applying for a divorce -
said Mrs. Gayley, when questioned by
reporter Further than that she
would not discuss her family affairs.
A report from Reno few days ago
said that Mr.. Gayley was planning the
construction of $4,000 home and
probably would locate there perman-
emily. At mis- Offices in the headauar-
ters of the United States Steel cor
poration it was said that Mr.. Gayley
was still out of the city, but that he
is expected back next Friday.
Since separating from his wife last
year Mr.. Gayley has lived at the Savoy
hotel and has not given UP his apart
ments there. the hotel officials said
they did not know when he would re-
turn.
In January of this year Mr.. GayIey
sold his family residence at East
Sixty ninth street and has been out of
the city much of the time since then.
The impression that he intends liv-
ing in the west has been gaining
ground for several months.
Mrs. Gayley has been active socially
for several months despite the impend-
ing court proceedings. She was mar
ried twenty five years ago to Mr. Gay
ley. Before her marriage she was
Miss Julia Gardiner Of St Louis, and
is a lineal descendant of Miles Stand
ish. The Gayleys have three daugh-
ters, one of whom was married to
Count Giulio Semi, an italian noble
man, In November, 1907, after Mr..
Gayley had kept him on probation for
four years. The other daughters are
the Misses Agnes M. and Florence
Gayley. who are living with their
mother at 20 Washington square
north.
Mr.. Gayley's idea in making his
daughter wait so long before her mar
riage was that she might be sure that
she and Count Senni really loved each
other. He wanted to be sure there
would be no bells tangled out OF tune
in their household. His attitude was
one of a matter of fact American
business man, who applies practical
methods to all problems which con-
front him.
The family relations Of the Gayleys
seemed to be very harmonious until
November last year. when Mr.. Gayley
not only left his family, but also re-
signed from his Office with the United
States Steel corporation. He still has
an Office with the company. but does
not take part In the active affairs Of
the concern.

New York, Dec. 1S.-F'ollowing unit

take steps to halt all such schemes OF
