Cleans Blood
Through Kidneys
A Most Important Func-
ton and One to be Care
fully Guarded.

The purpose of the kidneys being to
litter the blood the question OF treating
supposed kidney weakness should be con-
sidered carefully. Instead of drugs and
alleged kidney stimulants the better plan
Is to purify the blood with antidotsl
effect such as you get from g. s. s.
1t should be remembered that the kid
neys are made up OF fine net work OF
blood vessels, and 1t is to stimulate the
functional activity Of kidney tissue
through this capillary net work that
s. S. S. shows one OF its most remarkable
effects
The medfcsiaI value OF the components
of s. s. S. ere relatively just as vital to
healthy kidney action as the nuu1ment
obtained from grain. meat. fats sugars
or any other part of our daily food is to
the natural reconstructive requirements
of the tissues And there is one COM
ponent Of s. s. s. which serves the active
purpose of stimulating the cellular tissues
of the kidneys to q healthy and Judicfous
selection of its own essential nutriment-
Thus. In cases of rheumatism. cystttis'

REFUGEES TRAVEL IN STYLE
First Glass Transportation to Be
Furnished Out of Mexico

FURNISHED OAL OF mcSfCo
Washington.-The United States
government has instructed American
consuls in Mexico to furnish first
class transportation to the United
States to any who desired it, the con-
dition being that the refugees later re-
imburse the government, IL they were
able, and at their convenience The
adoption of this liberal policy was
made necessary by the likelihood that
many Americans would linger need
lessly in the trouble-torn districts IN
less every facility for their departure
was afforded
Some Washington officials com
mented for the first time on Provision
al President Huerta's declaration that
II the American government were re
luctant to give the refugees first-class
transportation he would do so gladly.
These officials, instead Of resentine
the offer, regarded it as generous. and
remarked that they hoped Senior HUI
erta's beneficence would be extended
to repay Americans ana other for
eigners for the great losses their in
vestments had sustained through the
chaos resulting from Huerta's assump
| ton of governmental power.
There is no change in the Mexican
situation, no messages of consequence
being received recently either from
John Lind at Vera Cruz. nor Mr.
O'Shaughnessy. the American charg'
d'affaires- 1t is considered most like
ly that developments win await TIL

Saturday afternoon slowly died out at
the foot of West Mountain, the south

mass of wreckage an area more than
mile in length and from seven TO ten

the city. The monetary loss is rough

In the path Of the flames were many

1t is estimated that 1000 persons are
homeless. So far as can be ascer-
tanned there were no fatalities, and
the few persons hurt suffered only
minor injuries But few of those
whose homes were burned saved any
of their household effects and guests
of the hotels gave little heed to their
valuables and luggage in their efforts
to escape the flames
Driven by 40-mile wind, the blaze
spread rapidly Within Is minutes it
was apparent that the fre-fghting
force of Hot Springs was inadequate
and an appeal was made to Little
Rock for aid Apparatus and men
were sent, but the fire then was out OF
