The Brownsville court Of inquiry is still
struggling with the several hundred thou
sand words of the record of the investiga-
tion before the Senate military commit
tee two years ago Brig. Gen. John NJ
Wilson. L. S. A. retired, member Of the
court, has spent so many of his midnight
hours in the effort to master this mass OF
testimony that his physician has warned
him 10 take rest. otherwise lie will
break down his health. The indications
now are that the court will make a
journey to Brownsville early in the
autumn before announcing date on
which it will listen to the oral testimony
of the soldiers of the 18th Infantry dis
charged for alleged participation in the
shooting up of Brownsville in August
1906. 1t is not likely that the court will
be called on to spend much time in hear
ing new testimony as there can be little

When the contests had reached their
most exciting point Supt Hudson was
approached by a very much excited lady.
She wanted to know if d little red-head-
ed boy with freckles on his face and Il
rosebud mouth was among the swimmers
Supt. Hudson gave one glance around
the pool at the sqnirming mass of young
SterS in swimming togs. and seemed to
see scores of boys who answered the de-
scription. The particular boy was finally
identified by the visitor. He was in
swimming togs and was intent upon en-
tering one of the afternoon contests
for his ability to win the race the lady
was persuaded to assent to him diving
into the water, and she afterWard saw
him give a good account of himself. She
was pressed into service one of the
judges, and before she left was an en-
thusastic advocate of aquatic sports.
Supt. Hudson explained afterward that
had the boy not been entered in one of
the races he would have been ordered to
dress and leave at once, and the disci-

such an order would have been obeyed
by the boy without hesitation.

Both the pound and the bureau OF ami

The bureau of animal industry says also
that it believes the present increase il,

entirely to the absence of the muZZie

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-
dltlon. 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-
mlstakable indications of a 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.
