A Bad Back

CBY L. ". BOWER. N. D.

Backache OF any kind is often
caused by kidney disorder, which
means that the kidneys are not work
ing properly. Poisonous matter and
uric acid accumulate within the body
in great abundance, over-working the
sick kidneys. hence the congestion
of blood causes backache in the same
manner as a similar congestion in the
head causes headache. You become
nervous, respondent, sick, feverish. ir-
ritable. have spots appearing before
the eyes, bags under the lids, and lack
OF ambition to do things.
The latest and most effective means
OF overcoming this trouble. is to eat
sparingly OF meat drink plenty OF
water between meals and take a
single Anuric tablet before each meal

War On Dancing

troversy has been aroused in the
English press by the sternnesS
with which the government is
suppressing public dancing. The
view taken by the war office is
that officers and soldiers home
on leave exhaust themselves by
late hours and friyolty and that.
mainly for this reason, public
dances must not take place
Numerous letters have been
sent 10 the papers uphOlding
dancing on the ground that the
soldiers deserve recreation after
a spell in the trenches.
A number of public dance halls

We are the girls that they left be
hind them
And this is the pride that we wear

We had no will to hinder or bind

Not with the sadness Of hearts re-
But glad Of the call they must needs
obey
We are the girls that they left behind.
We are the girls that they left be

Not as OF old but to weep and pray.
But with ready hands and with wit TO
find them
Service fit for the part we play
And this is the pride that We wear
today
eve who are one with them heart
and mind
That they loved US and left US and
marched away
We are the girls that they left behind.

WOUNDED, NEGRO
 WHO 1fRRORIzED,
 PUT IN PRISON
Mckinley Henton, Old Of fender, Proves Burglar
 Who Entered Homes.

Mckinley Henton. a negro well known to the authorities, and who has been arrested on a number of occas- ions, is prisoner at the city police jal, with the likelihood that a dozen or more charges of burglary will be filedaagajnst him today or Monday.
 Henton has admitted to .Chief of Police Frank Stewart that he has in the past two weeks 'burglarized half a dozen Pine Bluff residences, and he has turned over to the police some of the loot. He claims, however, that he did not do all the "work'' of which the police have accused him, although in this the police disagree with him, and expect he will make further ad- missions of guilt to other burglaries.
 Henton has two bullet wounds in the right leg, each flesh wound only one through the lower thigh and the other through the calf. The wounds are considered of slight importance. Henton admits that he received the wounds Thursday night--or. rather, Friday, morning ng-when Chief of Police Stewart, Roundsman Higgins and other members of the police de- partment fired total of about 20 shots at him in the southwestern part of the city. At that time the police expressed the belief that Henton had been wounded, and his disappearance was a puzzle to them.
 A quiet tip was received yesterday by Chief Stewart that negro on the Tom James place, on the Sulphur Springs road, was suffering with bull let wounds. The chief and several officers went to the place, and when they returned Henton was prisoner, and had admitted some of the things charged against him. Today the off cers will search the home of the negro's father where it is expected some stolen property will be found. The negro was in his fathers house when he was arrested.
 Among the homes which it is charged Henton entered and robbed within the past two weeks are those Of M. M. Redmond, O. H. Hardin, Charley Royse, w. C. Reynolds, Judge W. T. Woodbridge, Sennett Seabrook The negro has admitted entering the Redmond home twice, the home of Dr. O. G. Blackwell, the home of w. P. lmon and the home of w. e. Reynolds. At the Reynolds home Henton told Chief Stewart he had taken S6 from uncer the pillow of a girl, lifting the pillow without awakening the girl. A pistol stolen from the Redmond home was turned over by the negro. Hen ton is brother of Jack Henton. who was arrested about two years ago on IS charges of burglary, of this same

 Mrs. Finklestein charged Simmons with being guilty, and told of the girl identifying the black, but the jury be- ]ieved that Simmons was the victim in case of mistaken identity, and de- clared him not guilty.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH
 REVIVAL TO CLOSE
Services Tomorrow Will Bring 10 End Successful Series of Meetings
 at First Church.

Tomorrow is the closing day of the revival at the First Christian church. These meetings have been continuing for four weeks under the direction of Rev. A. Homer Jordan and Prof. c. H. Hohgatt. There have been a large number of conversions and the meet ings have been successful in every way.
 The church is planning for a large Bible school tomorrow, and there will be great evangelistic service at 10:45. At this hour pr. Jordan will speak on the subject, Come Thou With Us."
 At 6::3O D. m. the Christian Endeavor society meets. The topic for the even ing will be, "The Lords Day the Best Day" Edward Russell will lead.
 At 7:45 Dr. Jordan will preach on the subject, Almost But Lost"
 Last night house full of people heard Dr. Jordan preach on the sub ject, "Where Will You Spend Etern- ity?" The song service led by Pro- lessor Hohgatt and the splendid choir was the right setting for the ser mon. During the song service Dr, Jordan baptized nine persons.
 "This question: said Dr. Jordan, "is the greatest question that can ever be asked or answered. The meaning does not last for lifetime simply, but for all through Gods ceaseless cycles of eternity. The very thought of this question should drive us to Christ. Some think little about eternity. They put off deciding this question. Delay is dangerous. Some are perfectly absorbed in slnfulness. But if the judgment should come now -what?"
 There are but two places after death and to one of these we must go' We like to think of Heaven. But we must also think of eternal punish ment. Life here is typical Of the fu- ture. If we live with Christ here we shall live with him hereafter. All must decide the question Of where they must spend eternity" Several persons responded to .he invitation at the close of the sefVlce
