WHAT THE DOCTOR KNOWS.
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT To-
INSURE HEALTH.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the con-
dition of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes a chemical an
alysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are
doing their work properly, the other
organs cannot readily be brought
back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results
are sure to follow. According to
health statistics, Bright's Disease,
which is really an advanced form of
kidney trouble, caused nearly ten
thousand deaths in one year, in the
State of New York alone. Therefore,
it is particularly necessary to pay
more attention to the health of these
important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
the great kidney, liver and bladder
remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation, in most cases, is
soon realized, according to sworn
statements and verified testimony OF
those who have used the remedy.
When your kidneys require atten-
ton, get Swamp Root at once from
any pharmacy. 1t is sold by every
druggist In bottles of two sizes-5oC
and $1.00.
However, if you wish first to ties,
this great preparation send ten cents
to DIR. Kilmer & CO., Binghamton, N
Y, for sample bottle. When writing
be sure and mention The Pensacola
Jornnal.-Adv.

JAPANESE MINISTER PLAN
is ABANDONED

Peking, Jan. 16.-President Lii
Yuan-hung has abandoned his plan
to establish a council of elders, SIM
liar to the elder statesmen, or genro,
in Japan
The announcement that such a
council was to be created aroused
much opposition in various provinces,
especially among the military lead
ers, who resented the effort to create
a special council of advisers to be
appointed by the president. The
proposed body was also opposed by
young reformers, who are unfriendly
to many of the older Chinese who
had been suggested as possible mem
bers of the council

MANY PETITION FOR
RELEASE OF CARO-

Quite number of names were
signed to a petition presented to the
board of city commissioners yester-
day in behalf of John Caro-, who,
found guilty of selling liquor with
out license in December, was SEN
fenced to pay fine of $3.50 and
costs, and sixty days in the city Jail.
He is serving out the sentence.
A large number of friends of Mr..
Caro- have interested themselves in
securing his release, by endeavoring
to present strong enough petition
to strengthen them in the request.
The lists numbered among the sign
ers a large number of prominent
business men and taxpayers, and was
probably one of the most representa-
tive collections of signatures that has
been seen of late. In addition to the
signatures a number of merchants
wrote personal letters to the com
missioners.
Not desiring to act unless the re-
corder was consulted, the commits
sioners decided to first refer the pc
titions to Recorder Semmes, who i'm
posed the sentence, following the plea
of Mr.. Caro-. 1t is expected, there
fore, that some action may be taken
today.

THOUSANDS OF MEXICAN
LABORERS COMING TO u. s

Juarez, Mex, Jan. 16.-Mexico is
supplying laborers for the coal fields
of New Mexico, Colorado and Penn
sylvania; harvest hands for the
wheat fields of Kansas; section hands
for the railroads of the west and ir-
rigation farmers for the entire
southwest.
Thousands of Mexican laborers
from the interior of the republic have
been coming to the border here and
crossing to the United States to find
employment, while the industries of
their own country are paralyzed by
war. Recently 1000 Mexican labor
ers were shipped to the Pennsylvania
coal fields to take the places of the
foreign laborers who had returned to
their native countries to fight.

INDIAN, DRAWING
2S FEET OF WATER
COMES into PORT

Drawing more than % feet of
water, the British steamship Indian,
of the Leyland line, came into port
yesterday morning and without
trouble, went up to the L. & N. coal
chutes at Muscogee wharf for a large
supply of bunker coal and about 300
tons of fresh water, both of which
necessities were furnished without
trouble and with dispatch at the dock
named. The Indian was locked with
Deputy Harbormaster Frank A. Bog
hich at the helm, and was warped into
the berth without trouble.
During the night a constant stream
of water was forced into her drinking
and boiler water tanks, while from
the overhead chute total of ten or
dozen carloads of coal, all of the
fuel available at, this time, was hus-
tied into her bunkers.
At 6 o'clock this morning, the In
dian, even deeper than she was when
going up to her berth, will move out
from Muscogee wharf and start down
the bay to the open sea.
mounted on the after deck OF the
Indian is the second defense gun
known to have been aboard ships COM
ing into this harbor, this being, a
three-inch 12-pounder, which is al
ways in commission, it is said, for
protecting the ship against any posi-
BILE enemy craft which might attempt
to send the big steamer to the bot
tom. This gun is in a state of high
preparedness, it was stated, for the
ships stores manifest shows upward
of 225 shells, read for any contin-
gency. Of course, with the entrance
of the ship, note is made by the in
spector of such armament. 1t is claim
ed that the gun can fire about 5000
yards with deadly accuracy.

ance the students of the high school
assembled yesterday afternoon at one
o'clock in the Clubbs building, in the
first double session to take place I'M
der the new arrangement of the
school board after the disastrous fire
in the high school building last Sun
day.
Comparatively little inconvenience
was experienced by the teachers or
students in the grammar or high
school, and the entire schedule was
carried out without difficulty.
Only a slight change in the curric-
ulum was made necessary by the new
arrangement, and with the exception
of tho domestic science and the ex-
perimental work in the science de-
partment, no changes were neces-
sary.
The domestic science department
viii again be in operation within a
few days, and by Monday of next
week, it is expected that everything
will be running smoothly as it was
prior to the fire.
To avoid confusion lockers will be
fitted in the basement for the use Of
the high school students so that the
books and personal belongings of the

MANARREsTEDHERE.
SAYS He COMMITTED
THEFT FOR HIS WIFE

That Fl. C. Clarke, arrested IN
Pensacola Friday, for investigation
into a burglary in Mobile, committed
the theft because he wanted money
for his wife, is the reason given in
the following interview with the Mo-
bile Tribune:
al committed the thefts that Il
might procure money for my wife;
she is an invalid"
That was. the excuse given by H. G.
Clark, arrested in Pensacola for rob-
bling the store of the Reiss Mercan-
tile Company here week ago. Clarke
was brought back to Mobile Sunday
by Detective Burch.
Clarke implicated another in the
steal. The police do not believe the
statement. Investigation at the time
of the robbery showed the footprints
of but one person.
Questioned by the police, the ac-
cused told of visiting the store twice;
once Saturday night last, and then
again Sunday. Clarke declared that
if the police had recovered what he
had sold in Mobile and Pensacola,
and with what was found in his pos
session, they had gotten back about
all that was taken from the store.
Clarke religiously guards his right
name, declaring that Clarke is an
alias, and refuses to tell where he
lives or the residence of his wife.
When arrested in Pensacola he pos
sessed 81. To the detectives who in
terviewed him, he saI that the money
gained from the sale of the stolen
goods had been sent his wife, after
sharing half of the proceeds with
his pal" He had sent his wife $50
just before his arrest.
Chief Van Lew and the detectives
do not believe the story of another
in the steal. Shortly after Clarke's
arrival back in Mobile, Detective La
cey recognized him as person whon
he observed standing alone at Dau.
/ phin and st. Emanuel streets early
Saturday night. Clarke has been for.
mally charged with burglary. Practic.
ally all of the wearing apparel sole
by Clarke in Pensacola and Mobile
has been recovered by the police.
Clarke, as it was first suspected b,
the police, went to New Orleans. H,
was there last Thursday when h,
went to Pensacola and began selling
the goods in the restricted distric
there. This was what led to his ar
rest.
/ eff had known that Pensacola wa
so close to Mobile l would not hav
went there" he told the police. Clark
is Snowman. He had been connects
with carnival aggregation whic
closed the season in Shreveport, com
ing to Mobile the day before the rob
berry was committed.
Clarke's hearing was set for late
date when called in the recorder
court this morning.

Officials Are Not Dis
turbed Over Big Suit

GATES want bond moneys spent on
canals that win improve their prop
erty when the trustees claim that the
whole drainage district should receive
the benefits of the drainage.
"They have two itinerant lawyers"
said the attorney general tonight,
zone from Kansas and the other from
Chicago, with client from Pennsyi-
vania, and they have issued news
paper suit, having the story all writ
ten and in the newspaper offices
waiting to be released before the suit
was filed"
Chief Drainage Engineer Elliott
says these men are well known to
the state authorities as trouble-mak
ers and he believes that the attor-
ney general is well able to take care
of the states interests in the matter.
Elliott says that if receiver should
be appointed and anything come out
of the case, he thinks it most inn
probable the title of every piece of
land which came down through rail-
road grant in Florida, would be ques
toned and the homes of thousands
would be disturbed.
The attorney general promises a
warm interview in few days. He
says that ''those fellows need attend
ing to" and he can be counted on for
hot shot when he begins talking
for publication about this suit. Nc
Rae takes about the same position as
the other officials interviewed
Former Governor Trammell issued
statement tonight in which he de-
clares there is not one scintilla of
merit in the suit All cabinet officers
are confident that West can easily
take care of the states interest in
this case.
Only recently the same parties fail
ed to get the same suit heard by the
federal court. Several attorney gsn-
erals of other states have declined to
interest themselves in this case.
