ton, Overcomes Kidney Trouble.
1t Is now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more at
tention as they control the other or
gans to a remarkable degree and do a
tremendous amount of work in re-
moving the poisons and waste matter
from the system by filtering the blood
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less
exercise. drink less water and often
eat more rich, heavy food. thereby
forcing the kidneys to do more work
than nature intended. Evidercc of
kidney trouble, such as lame b. k, an
noying bladder troubles, sr'" ting or
burning. brickdust or sediment, sallow
complexion, rheumatism, maybe weak
or irregular heart action, warns you
that your kidneys require help imme-
diately to avoid more serious trouble
An ideal herbal compound that has
had most remarkable success as a
kidney and bladder remedy is DR.. Kill

else like it. 1t is DR.. Kilmer's pre-
scription used in private practice and

The Doctors Attitude.
What in your opinion should be the
doctors attitude in a case like this:
A young man ostensibly laid up with
grippe in his room in private fam
lily residence, in reality is afflicted
with a venercal disease. Is it perfectly
ethical for the doctor to say nothing
to innocent members of the family, or
should he warn them of the danger Of
contagion? P. +. Al
Answer-If the doctor fails to warn
innocent persons of any actual danger
he is derelict in duty and unworthy
of confidence. He need only state that
the nature of the illness is infectious.

Professor Cannon, the Harvard ply
Biologist has contributed much to our
knowledge of the digestive process.
the Russian Psychologist, Cannon
demonstrated the intimate inter-ac-
ton or correlation of the different
stages of digestion. Taste of food,
the mere sodor or sight of savory food
excite secretion of digestive juice in
the stomach. The acidity of the stom-
ach juice in turn eXcites the peristaltic
or onward movements of the stomach
which, in due time pass the digestive
food mass along into the next COM
partment of the alimentary canal, the
duodenum. Here the acid mass slim
ulates the secretion of pancreatic juice
which is much more important in di-
Eestion than gastric juice.
The coordination between the sue
cessivc processes of the whole func-
ton of digestion. from the excitation
of appetite by psychic impressions to
the elimination of the residue from the
body. is so delicately adjusted that

Castor Oil a Crime.
Castor oil, fed to a noisy infant,
enjoys the place of honor among the
implements used to upset this fine
arrangement. When a helpless baby, at
the mercy Of some wisacre, kicks up
his feet and squrms and yells and
worries, for the mere JOY Of living,
and to develop good muscles, dose
Of castor oil is poured into the works
on general principles.

tive But tomorrow, when it again be-
comes more or less necessary for the
baby to answer the call of nature

tomorrows in this castor Gil business.
dear, what fine time the doctors
would have!
The first dose upsets correlation.
After that, it is easy. All you have
to do is feed the baby a cathartic and
and month to month, to keep him
working. Pretty soon you'll discover
that he is in need of a bath inside.
You'll start him taking internal baths.
And once you get him started on that
habit it is goodbye happiness for all

II you feel the baby must be oiled,
use some brand liquid petrolatum,
which is a lubricant, harmless in any
dose, without drug effect.

POTTER FEARS DEATH.
Refuses to Testify Against Montreal
Star Dynamiters.

Montreal, Sept IA solemn pact
sworn to by the men who dynamited the
home of Lord Athelstan, publisher of the
Montreal Star, that any of them who
gave information of their doings to the
police would be murdered was given by
J. A. Trembay as his reason for his re-
fusal to testify Wednesday. Tremblay,
who is charged with stealing the dyna-
mite which was used to blow up the
Athelstan home, was asked to give evil
dence against Ellie Lalumiere, the anti
conscriptionist leader, accused as one of
the plotters against the publishers life
and that of other notables. On his re-
fusal to answer questions, Tremblay was
sent to Jail for eight days. He said
that if he gave evidence he and his wife
and children would be murdered by dy
namters still at liberty. The crown
counsel asked Tremblay to repeat the
confession he had made in the detec-
tives office, but he refused.

SPORTING NOTES

The New York Giants commenced their
Boston Yesterday With the 1917 game
lead over the Philadelphia team, all that
concerns McGraw at present is the task
of grooming his players to meet the win
ner Of the American league pennant. Aft
er the series in Boston the Giants will go
West, where they viii play three games
with each club in that division before
returning East to finish the season in
Philadelphia. Pat Morsn's team still
think that if they had won the opening
game in the recent New York Philadel-
phia series they would have won the pen
nant, as the Giants were just about ready
to blow up. The series was certainly
crucial, but matters will be different now
and they will easily win even by losing
half of their remaining 20 games.
