If you Suffer from Backache, Lun-

Take Hot Water and fsANURlC"

American men and women must guard
constantly against kidney trouble, be-
cause we eat too much and all our food
is rich. Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, be-
come sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and the result is kidney trouble,
bladder weakness and a general decline
in health.
When your kidneys feel like humps of
lead, when your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night, when you suffer with
sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells,
acid stomach, or you have rheumatism

ORIENT THEATRE SOLD
Bowens Dispose Of Their Property
To Bussey Parties.

A change in business which will be
noticeable around the business dis
trict and all over the city took place
yesterday afternoon when the Orient
Theatre was sold to Mcconnell and
Houser, of Bussey. :=..
Negotiations have been underway
for the sale of the theatre for some
little time, but the deal was not Of
ficially made, or announced until yes
terday evening, when the papers were
made out and the deal closed with tho
transfer of the cash.
Tie Bowcns have been in charge
of this threatre for years, in fact they
have occupied this building for many
years having a restaurant there for
some time, before the picture house
was opened. Just what they will do,
has not been definitely decided upon
but it is hoped that Oskaloosa will
not lose them. They have business
interests elsewhere, but we are hop.
ing that they will remain with us.
While the transfer may mean the
loss of an old Oskaloosa family, we
are gaining some new residents who
will make their associations both In
business AMI social way, pleasant,
and profitable for both parties, The
new management will have installed
in the building $4,000 pipe organ
and they will close the doors for the
installation of the organ three days.
They will close on June 1, and re
open their doors on June 4. Kick"

company would sign stipulation to
the effect that the city waived no
rights, or claims upon such monies or

quired in the same by reason of the
failure of the water company to COM
