THE LAND OF WEAK KIDNEYS

1t is admitted that Bright's Disease
OF the kidneys causes more deaths in
the United States than in any other
country; that more than half the sick
ness in America is due to weak or dis
eased kidneys.
We are a weak kidneyed people, ana
the reason is plain. Ambitious to en-
low more than a mere living, to nave
ali the pleasures that our neighoors
have. anxious for wealth and success,
we overwork, rest little. eat and drink
unwisely, and are ION the go all the
time.
This strenuous life of today tells on
the kidneys. The human body was
planned for a simpler life There Is
inst so r.ucn work that each organ
can do. The kidneys filter our biood
day and night, receiving II IN a cease e-
less stream, draining off the poisonous
inoDurities. This duty is heavy enough
in a normal average life, but When We
work early and late, give up rest ana
repose for enjoyment. and retlre lase
to troubled sleep, the work OF the klu-
reys is increased enormously E'e,y
hit of energy consumed throws into the
blood a quantity of waste ike lne
ashes of a fire, and if the using up Is
too rapid. the kidneys cannot keep pacs
with it. A cold, chill. fever, STRAIN OF
any excess may hasten the inevltapIe
breakdown, and as the circulation OF
the blood never stops, the kidneys haVe
on time to rest. no chance to mend SICK
kidneys cannot get we'll alone.

IT MAKES BREAD HIGH
Paris Bakers Complain of the Patten
Wheat Corner.

Chicago. April 16.-The Patten wheat
deal constitutes the principal topic OF
conversation in Paris, according 70 a
cable from the French capital to the
Daily News today.
1.-The Patten deal" says the cable,
affects the price of bread not only in
the United States, but in Europe.
Even in Paris judges of repute have
come to the conclusion that to this deal
and to no other cause is due the 1act
that Parisians are paying nearly one
cent per pound more Tor their daily
bread than heretofore.
Last year the French wheat crop
was bad. That of the year before, how
ever, was so large that surplus is
still on hand sufficient to last until next
harvest. Its price as well as the price
OF wheat for future delivery must be
raised on account of the speculation in
Chicago and other American centers,
or as NJ Bachellier, president of the
bakers syndicate, says today, England,
Belgium, Germany and other countries
rapidly would drain France of its sup
ply forcing it to buy in the United
States or Argentina at still higher
prices than the French have to pay
now. The bakers consequently have
had to raise the price of bread. he said,
but he did not believe the situation
would last long.
M Bachellier added that the millers
of France expect new wheat in July
and the crop he says. promises to be
one of the largest in Xears."--1 -
