When the kidneys are sick, sharI,
darting pains strike you in the back,
loins or sides--paius that almost take
your breath away and often make
you cry ont in agony.
1t is almost impossible to mistake
these kidney pains, for they seem to
center about the small OF the back
where the kidneys are located.
And still there are many persons
who think backache is merely a muo-
cular something that is cX-
pected to pass away with a little
rest, aided by a plaster, or by rub.

Sick kidneys can not get vel,

freely with the blood-attack mus

The kidneys swell and throb and that

Fans Not Enthusiastic.

Although Fremont and Grand Island
have been talking baseball assoCia-
tons which will include Norfolk, little
talk is current among the Norfolk fans
in this direction. Most of the fans
here believe this would not be a pay
ing proposition. Although Grand
Island would be accessible for Ere
mont, it would be out of the way for
Norfolk. Fremont, at the same time,
would be well enough located for Nor
folk, but it is not believed here enough
support would be given such an asso-
citation. A short route association,
however, is talked of favorably by
some.
This association would include per
haps six towns in Norfolk territory.
Gregory, Dallas. Lynch, Stanton,
Pierce and Neigh are talked of strong
ly. Even such an association, it is
said, would hardly pay expenses unless
larger attendance than last year
could be depended on. 1t is believed
by some that Norfolk might get up a
team of home players, who have posi-
tons in the city.
