The Alarming Death Rate From Kid
ney Disorders May be Reduced
by Prompt Attention to
Affected Kidneys.

A prominent life insurance com
pany, from abundant statistics, show
that fully 100000 Americans die an
nually from kidney diseases. Since
fully 60 per cent, or sixty thousand,
of these fatalities could be prevented
or postponed for years if the presence
of kidney disease was discovered in
its early stages, it is high time that
everyone should take an interest in
the health of their kidneys. Now the
kidneys work day and night to pro-
tect the blood and body from an ever
increasing quantity OF poisonous sub
stances. They perform their function
of filtration faithfully and persistent
ly, even after they have begun to de-
generate from lack of attention. Yet
the breaking down of the kidneys
usually occurs without warning 10
the individual for whom they toll.
This Is why the use of dependable
medicine like Warmers Safe Kidney
and Liver Remedy should be select
ed for the treatment of kidney dis
orders. 1t soothes and benefits these

Asks Food Embargo.
WASHINGTON, Feb. pa final
attempt to force food embargo
through congress was made in the
senate today when Senator MARITIME,
New Jersey, offered a resolution pro-
hibiting the expectation Of staple food
products.
Legislation Proposed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-An amend
ment to the revenue bill. empower
ing the president to seize food stuffs
"wrongfully held for the purpose OF
unjust increases in prices" in viola
ton of antitrust laws, was introduced
in the senate today by Senator Lewis,
administration whip.
The amendment is aimed at the cold
storage interests which the federal
trade commission Is known to hold
largely responsible for the present
food situation. The amendment pro-
vides that foods thus confiscated are
to be sold at once by the federal gov
eminent ito those whose necessities
are first to be relieved"
Prices for resale of the food stuff
to the needy are to be fixed by the
government and shall be limited to
the actual necessities OF each pur-
chaser. 80
In an effort to get immediate relief
from the acute food situation in the
east, Chairman Denman of the new
federal shipping board conferred with
the president this afternoon on a plan
to press into coast wise trade foreign
vessels constructed or under construc-
ton in American shipyards These
would be used to replace the fleet of
merchant ships which deserted the
coast wise service following the out
break of the war.
The fact that 1t has been necessary
to ship by rail large quantities OF
wheat and other food stuffs which
previously went by water from the
Pacific coast to the Atlantic seaboard,
is said to be one OF the principal rea-
sons for the present freight conges-
ton.
1t is known that thousands OF BUSH

1t is with the hope Of getting this

Stratman, one and one-half miles

about two months ago, was consid-

close Of the sale, but an approximate
was made by the auctioneers who
believed It would reach beyond
$4,000.
