blow on the head-lay in the Harlem

President Menocal began his admin

able than any other president Cuba
ever had. He was swept into office on

SPELLS OF WEAK KIDNEYS

Some People Have Trouble with the Kidneys every
Autumn. They become frightened when the Symp-

During the month of October the
kidneys are especially liable to become
deranged.
The perspiration that has been go

months is at least partially stopped

They both eliminate from the blood,

can act in place of the kidneys in a
small degree, and vice versa. When one
is affected the other is apt to be.
The sudden checking of perspiration
during the month of October throws
upon the kidneys the extra work of
eliminating the blood poisons. This con-
centrates the poisons in the urine,
which may set up an irritable condi-
