SUDDEN DEATH

+ 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
poisoning occurs, and the person dies
and the cause ls often given as heart
disease. or disease of brain or lungs.

Although the Tiger baseball team if scheduled to play Gettysburg college at Princeton Saturday. it now seems likely that outdoor practice will no; begin for at least one week more and possibly longer.
