The appalling death rate from kid

to the fact that the little kidney trou-

become serious. The Slight symptoms
give place to chronic disorders and
the sufferer goes gradually into the

disease, gravel or some other serious
form of kidney complaint.

ache, dizzy spells; If the kidney secre-

NEW ORLEANS La. Dec 17-At-
torney General Walter Guion today rem
dered a decision which says that no
prize fights can be held in the state of
Louisiana when prize is offered to

Lieutenant Governor Lambremont
