BACKACHE IS A
DANGER, SIGNAL
Kidney Troubles. Bladder
Disorders. Rheuma-
tism, and Serious
Diseases Follow.

There are other symptoms. such as
pains in the region Of the kidneys, ner-
vousness, dizziness, tired and worn-out
feeling. weak bladder, painful. scaldy, or
urinary troubles, which are just as dan
gerous. for the slightest kidney derange-
ment II neglected may develop into the
deadly Bright's Disease, Dropsy, or Dia-
betes.
1t is not only dangerous but needless
for you to suffer and endure the tortures
of these troubles, for the new discovery
Croxone quickly and surely ends all such
misery.
There is no more effective remedy
known for the permanent cure OF ali
forms Of kidney, bladder trouble, and
than this new scientific
because It removes the
cause. 1t soaks right into the kidneys,
through the walls and Innings. cleans
out the clogged-up pores. neutralizes and
dissolves the poisonous uric acid and
waste matter that lodge In the Joints
and muscles and cause those terrible
rheumatic pains, and makes the kidneys
filter the poison from the blood and
drives 1t out of the system.
Three doses OF Croxone day for
few days is often all that is ever needed
to cure the worst backache or overcome
disagreeable urinary disorders, and you
can take 1t with the utmost confidence
that nothing on earth will so quickly cure
the worst case Of kidney, bladder trouble.
Or rheumatism.
You will find Croxone different from
Ill other remedies. There is nothing else
like it. 1t is 30 perpared that It Is prac-
tically impossible to take 1t into the hu-
man system without results. An orig
nal package costs but a trine at any
irst-class drug store, such as O'Don-

PERU ATROCITIES
THINGS OF PAST
Minister Pezet Tells Secretary Knox
that They Happened
Prior to 1907.

The Easement report on the atrocities
committed in Peru against the Indian rub
Der gatherers in the Putumayo district
was discussed at the State Department
yesterday between Secretary Knox and
Minister Pezet. of Peru.
Following his conference with Secre-
tary Knox, the Peruvian Minister de-
clared that the situation was becoming
better every day In the Putumayo dis
trict. and that his government was pro-
ceeding rapidly with measures looking to
q suppression of the practices against the
Indians revealed in the report made to
the British government by Sir Roger
Easement Reiterating the statements
made In behalf Of Peru by the Peruvian
Minister in London, Minister Pezet de-
clared:
THE atrocities which Sir Roger Case
ment speaks of were committed years
ago. They all occurred not later than
1907. Things are very different now. and
control of the Putumsyo district. OF
course, 1t must be remembered that when
Sir Roger Easement made his report the
rubber districts OF the Amazon head
waters were far removed from com
munication with the government at Lima.
1t was then very difficult to know exact
ly was was going on there. Now,
however. we have u system of wireless
compunication over the mountains which
permits of free and constant communica-
tion with these regions We have our
river boats now for policing the ANA
zon districts. and these craft penetrate
to the most remote regions where the
authority of the government was but
little felt previously.
The atrocities were committed by the
agents Of the British company. which
engaged in the rubber business. These
men were, apparently, the scum such as is
found in every new and undeveloped
region. To them the life Of an Indian
was no more than that of a mosquito.
But I believe II Is about over now"

John A. Riley, Dependent, swal-
lows Death Draught a. Relatives
Break Into Room.
NOTE GIVES REASONS FOR ACT

Assigning unrequited love rs the cause
OF his dependency, in . brief epistle OF
farewell TO his relatives. John A. Riley.
twenty-eight years old. clerk in the
Geological Survey. last night drained q
glass Of solution Of cyanide of potas-
sium. and breathed his last Just as two
relatives broke open the door to his room
at Sol N Street Northwest.
His brother. w. H. Riley. and brother
in-law. DR.. w. Elmo Turton. detected the
odor Of the fatal draught from the glass
which Riley held as he writhed on the
bed, and at once took heroic measures to
save the life Of the man already beyond
the aid Of human agency.
Even while DR.. Turton was forcing
an emetic between the teeth Of Riley he
died in the arms Of his brother Riley
was unconscious when found. He did not
regain his senses. But the farewell note.
scribbled on the back Of an envelope with
a pencil and stuck In the edge OF a
looking glass where IL would easily be
found, threw light on the deed.
Blnmcs Girl for Deed.
The note read:
Dear BilI-Good-by. Good-by to Mary.
too. - Is the cause OF 1t all.
hope she will not attend my funeral
God forgive my sins. Amen. JOHN"
"Bilr' is the brother, w. II. Riley,
clerk fol a local lumber concern. Mary
is a sister Of the suicide, and wife of
DR.. Turton. The girl named by Riley
comes Of a good family and is young
and pretty. but relatives declares she
has not spoken TO Riley for two years.
Riley died twenty minutes after swal-
lowing the poison. Death would have
followed the dose In about three minutes,
it is said, II he had not been indulging
In strong drink recently. DIR. Turton
could have saved Rilsy's life IL he had
arrived a few minutes sooner. Riley
knew his relatives could call and timed
his act almost to the minute.
