IT'S NOT A STRAIN
IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS

That pain in your back is from your
kidneys. They're sick
Perhaps you imagined that you had
strained your back; or, maybe, had
been working too hard bent over a
bench or a desk.
Don't allow yourself to be deceived.
Backache is warning and in ninety.
nine cases out of hundred it means
that your kidneys are in trouble.
They are probably overworked-ti -tir.
ed; they are not functioning properly
in their work in carrying off the pois
ons and wastes of the body.
The matter is not serious at present
perhaps; the kidneys merely need
help.
But the situation will become ser
ious if the kidneys do not receive theii
help promptly.
Help them out.
Tone them up.

ranks of the Grand Army of the Re.
| public. At former inaugurals these
venerables have marched in the es-
corting division which accompanied
| the president and vice president from
the White House to the capitol, where
the oath of office is administered with
ceremony preceding the general pa
rade.
Recently when the increasing
feebleness of the grim and gray old
boys in blue was called to the atten.
tion of Inaugural Chairman Robert N.
Harper, he conferred with Col. John
McElroy and other representative
men of the G. A. r., with the result
that the length of march OF the vet
Grams is to be greatly shortened in
what may be their last inaugural pro-
cession. This will add an atmosphere
of pathos to the slowly moving pic
ture they will present while passing
the presidents reviewing stand in
front of the White House, and the i'm
pulse will come to the beholders to
bare their heads before the passing
battle flags in their tatters of glory,
and that talisman OF duty and service,
the little bronze button.
The veteran escorting division is
the outgrowth of an incident of the
first inauguration of President Ulys-
ses s. Grant, March 4, 1869, when Il
group OF his former fighting men who
had followed his fortunes from the
wilderness to AppomattoX, insisted in
marching behind rhe carriage Of their
chieftain to the east capitol portico
where he took the oath of office.
At the first inauguration of Presi-
dent Wilson, his immediate guard Of
honor to the capitol was the crack
and noted Essex troop of Newark, n.
J. He has not announced his selec.
ton for this honorable service at the
coming inaugural.
The black horse troop OF cavalry
and the Culver cadets, both of the
Culver Military academy Indiana.
will serve as the personal escort of
Vice President Marshall in the parade
to the capitol, which will move from
the vicinity of the White House at
9;30 the morning of March 4.
Commander-in-C Chief Daniel v. Chis-
holm of the United Spanish War Vet
Grams, which organization has sup
piled part of the sscorting division in
previous inauguraIs, is to have a con
ference with Chairman Harper and
Gen. Scott in reference to the partici-
patton of the younger soldiers, sailors

CITY MAY'tNFORCt
 SEWER CONNECTION
ORDINANCE INTRODUCED
Requiring Ali Boarding and Room ing Houses to Make Connections
 More Sidewalk Ordered.

A move to extend the territory within which dry closets are forbid den and sewer connections are re- quired was started in the city coun- cil last night when an ordinance was introduced requiring that all hotels, public or private boarding houses, |rooming houses and houses in which furnished rooms are rented must have within 60 days at least one water closet installed and connected to the public sewers and are forbid den to maintain dry closets on their
 premises. The ordinance was read the first time and placed on the cal- endar. The measure exempts from
 its provisions houses located more than 300 feet distant from a sewer or water main.
 Another proposed ordinance has been drafted but was not presented to the council last night, to require sewer connections generally through out the city. Some opposition to both propositions was voiced in the council, members asserting that it would inflict undue hardships upon some of the property-owners. It is considered probable that a third or dinance requiring sewer connections in all the more thickly populated section of the city, surrounding the present district, which includes only the fire limits, will be introduced and one or the other of the measures will probably be passed at the next meet ing.
 The council last night passed an ordinance requiring the laying of concrete sidewalks along several blocks of residence and business prop erty in the city. The new walks are required along the following streets: South side of Fifth street, from Harkrider street east to quarter sec- tion line; west side of Davis street, between College avenue and Simms street; east side of Chestnut street, between Oak street and Main street; north side of Oak street, between Chestnut and Court street. The walk on Oak street is to be 10 feet wide and the remainder four feet wide
 The street and alley committee was given authority to construct a bridge on East Oak street.
 The council met in the law offices of Judge w. H. Duncan, the special having arranged to secure it as a meeting place until April, 1918.
