As Consumption Lessons
Kidney Troubles
Grow

New York. Nov 26.-The vagaries
of disease are interestingly shown
in little pamphlet gotten out by
a life insurance company, wherein
tables of incfeaSeS and decreases
give some k1Ewledge of how, when
we are freed of one malady, an
other increases. For instance, in
the whole United States consump-
tion has decreased 49 per cent since
1880. but, offsetting this, kidney
troubles have increased 131 per
cent In the same period. Chicago's
kidney troubles have gone up to
167 per cent, and Chicago is down
for an increase of 80 per cent of
deaths from pneumonia. There are
every day 3.500.000 persons i'll in
the United States.
This is the grim record that con-
fronts every man, woman and child,
according to the figures and state
ments Of medical experts and scien-
lists.
What, then, are the conclusions to
be drawn7 Do not these facts con-
stitute a condition calculated to strike
terror to the stoutest heart-espe-
the slightest reason to suspicion that
he or she is afflicted with even the
mildest form or initial stage of any
Kidney disorder?
And even when one has reason only
to believe that he or she Is predis-
posed to this class OF ailments
(through hereditary or other causes),
can too great precautton and care be
taken that the too frequent dire con-
sequences of neglected Kidney Dis
ease be averted?
Now, friends, let us stop and think
for a few minutes. We must all do
this-Somctimes-if we have proper
care and consideration for our. own
and happiness of the loved ones de-
pendent uDOn us.

Great Excitement Attends EN-

The immigration detention sheds on
the old Pacific Mail docks which for
the last FIVE years have been the sub
ject Of controversy of some kind or
another stand empty and desolate to-
day the change being made yesterday
TO the new detention quarters at Angel
island. There were l0l Chinese and
one lone and gloomy Hindu in the
party transferred to the new home for
doubtful aliens.
The time set for the transferring of
the inmates was a. m but long be-
fore that scores OF Chinese coaches
gathered around waiting for a last
word 10 their fellow countrymen be-
fore a heartIess government sent them
across the water.
WHIRLWIND OF LANGUAGE
The moment the first of the Chinese
appeared at the head of the long stair
way and gazed in blinking wonder
around him a storm Of language broke
loose The immigration inspectors
shooed away the wise ones on the side
lines as best they could. but they would
return again and again, yelling their
last words of advice.

10 the foot of the stairs and into this
would be loaded gang of Chinese, as
many as il would hold. Then, sur
rounded by a group of inspectors and
government officials the dray started
for the pier. where a tug lay waiting
for the cargo
As each dravfuI moved away the
noise of words and grunts simply spat-
tered itself on the scenery. 1t was the
last chance. The advisers advised and
The aliens shouted back doubtful
queries. Added to this were the indig-

1ions. gave strict orders to keep the
local Chinese as far away 5 possible
from those being transferred. There
was a fear that some oriental at the
last moment would make a desperate
break for American citizenship, but
none attempted it.
CHATTER AND GIGGLES
In the crowd were four Chinese
women They seemed to regard the
affair as a picnic. They laughed, chat

grinning inspectors. The lone Hindu

stride and strode on board the tug as

Among the Chinese of the detention
quarters there is one man who has been

WANT CUPID DRAPED.

When Warner B. Leeds, OF New

fountain, one OF the most noted sculp-
ture works of Janet Scudder, and pre-
sented # to the Richmond Art Associa-
ton, there was great rejoicing among
the association members, and when the
association determined that the work
Of art should occupy a niche in the
main corridor of Richmond's new high
school building there was further re-
joicing among the art lovers OF the city.
But the Richmond Ministerial Asso-
citation viewed with alarm, instead OF
jov, and went on record as beir3 heart
ilv opposed to works OF art Of che char
acter being on view in a public school
building. According to members OF
the school board the ministers believed
that the little Cupid in stone should be
suitably draped if it were to occupy a
special niche in the new building.
However, the board will fill the niche
with the Scudder oculpture and the
amendments proposed by the ministers
will not be accepted.

Re,;ev. Rawn Killed Himself.

Chicago. July DEMONSTRATION
into the mysterious shooting yesterday
of Ira G. Rawn, president OF the
Manon Railroad, at his Winnetka
summer home, is at an end SO lar as
the Chicago police are concerned. As,
sistant Chief OF Police Schuetller ana
Captain Stephen Wood, OF the Chicago
detective department, announced To-Day
that they have rejected all theories Q,
Rawn being killed by burglars '' Ire,
assassins or a private enemy me
conclusion reached by them Is that
Rawn took lis own life.
The attitude of the Rawn family
who, the police say, did everything
thew could to hamper thorough IN
vestigation, helped considerably IN
reaching this conclusion. The ponce
say there was nothing found that would
bear the story told by members OF the
family, that two shots were fired, or
that forcible entrance had been made
to the house.
The family, however, still MAINTAIN
that Rawn's death was not by his own
hand, and that he was killed IN
struggle with burglar.
The police say that no trace OF
second bullet can be found, and that
the bullet which killed Rawn tits the
revolver which he carried, and from
which one shot had been fired. The
marks on the doors, which ut ilrst
were supposed to have been made by
a burglars jimmy, were found to be
on the inside, and the supposed blood,
stains on the payment outside proved
to be red paint.
