means Of overcoming kidney trouble.
Death would occur II the kidneys did
not work day and night in separating
poisons and uric acid from the blood.
Tho danger signals are backache,

665 miles from Canon City.
Ft. Riley is Cavalry and Artillery
station for the regular army. 1t con

has well equipped stone buildings for
housing the troops. horses etc. 1t
is contemplated to gather here soon
an army of 10000 for training. Once
before in the history of the fort 80,
900 troops were assembled here.
On Saturday. the 18th Cavalry ar
rived at Fit. Riley coming up from
the Mexican border. This was the
first regiment to be called south for
border service four years ago.
- X y
Ft Riley is just now the centre of
public interest in the West, because
of the officers reserve corps now in
training there. Canon City is well
represented. I saw or heard of the
following boys from Canon City or
former Canon City families: VIM. L..
Mack. George whipple. John McKin-
Harry Wray. Clyde Biggs. VIM. Handy
stry, Morton Bailey, l.. ]. Beauvais.
Ernest McLain, C. E. Lauterbach.
This division takes in Missouri,
Kansas. Wyoming and Colorado.
About $500 students made up the
number, and finer appearing bunch
of men was never gathered together
for an army. Here you find the
cream of the young men of the West.
Big business. the professions. and So
cfety are well represented at FIT. Riley.
There will be three months of in
tensive training and then examina-
tion for commissions.
The Canon City boys look well but
have lost some weight. The life is
little more strenuous than most of
them. have been used to. They have
been vaccinated for small pox and
are just now going thru the serum
treatment for typhoid. These treat
ments, together with four or Ave hours
OF drilling each day is taking off the
surplus fat.
The boys are comfortably located
in great stone buildings. The dining
room is ample and the food substan-
tial and good. Every man brags
about his appetite and they say the
meals are first class. Some of the
! boys miss table cloths. napkins and

Most of the men have been out OF
school several years and naturally
find the study hard. The tasks given
are long, hard and entirely new to
most of the men. Lessons must be
practically committed word for word.
The nature OF the instruction is rath-
