The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremic poi
soning occurs, and the person dies and
the cause is often given as heart dis
ease, or disease of brain or lungs.

FATALITIES FEWER THIS SEASON
THAN ANY SINCE RECORDS
ARE KEPT.
NEW LAW CLAIMED SUCCESS
Hunters No Longer Shoot First ane
Investigate Later-No Injuries
Are Reported This
Year.

Madison.-Five Wisconsin hunters
were killed in the north woods this
year while seeking deer. In 1914 there
were twenty-four fatalities. Last year
there were twenty-six persons injured
in Wisconsin hunting deer. This year
not one was reported injured.
In all of the years since records
have been kept the figures show that
never have there been so few deaths
as during the season just closed.
According to all reports, the number
Of hunters in the woods this year has
been quite as large as in former years.
Sportsmen who at first were violently
opposed to the much discussed "one
buck" law, given it's first trial in Wis
consin this year, are forced to admit
it has probably been the greatest fac
tor in cutting down the terrible loss
of life and limb which has been part
of every hunting season in the mem
DRY of the present generation.
That Wisconsin's new law may be
responsible for the decrease in the
number of accidents is partly borne
out by the list of Michigan fatalities.
In the upper peninsula there were
more fatalities this year than in 1914,
with approximately the same number
of hunters in the field.
1t is maintained by those in the
woods this year in search of deer, that
in Wisconsin it is necessary to obtain
clear view of the animal before
shooting. This is because of the heavy
penalty for killing or attempting to kill
any but buck deer. In former years
it was customary for hunters to blaze
away as soon as they saw anything
moving in the brush.
