LESSON WAS TOO REALISTIC
Glass in First-Aid Work Promptly
Proved That "Nerve" Was Thing
They Lacked.

A doctor of a small town of central
Missouri was instructing class of 30
enthusiastic young women in first
aid work.
The lesson for the evening was on
nerve. and he was endeavoring to en-
tighten them as to just what was
meant by nerve" and how it was es-
pecially necessary in the case of acct
dents.
The instructor continued by saying
4 distinguished physician had said that
Nerve means you must be cool, you
must be very cool. you must be =
cool"
just as he finished this explanation.
a scream was heard outside, followed
by several pistol shots. The outer door
into the basement of the town library,
where the class WAS being held, was
flung open. Two men. struggling to-
gether. their clothes drenched in blood,
rolled down the steps into the room.
There were means from the writing
forms on theefloor. but the class did
not hear them. They had flown, not
only 10 the cute! dooT, Out 10 Il liiehd-
ly shelter across the street.
Nor, when the doctor went across to
then, and explained that the shooting
ARRAY was only sham one between
two college boys, which he was using
TO illustrate his lecture, would they re-
turn.
They had completely lost their
nerve they explained, and their
nerves were SO shaken they must 90

This calm announcement seemed &c
stupefy De Castano. He sat down
heavily in the nearest chair. and with
his wet handkerchief poised in one
pudgy hand he stared fixedly at the
speaker. His eyes were round and
bullying, the sweat streamed unheeded
from his temples. He resembled some
queer bloated marine monster just
emerged from the sea and momentarily
dazzled by the light.

heart was ablaze with hatred for the
Spaniards and for Paneho Cueto. He

First American MultimIlIionaire.

The first American multimillionaire
to attain international fame on &C.
count of his vast wealth WAS Stephen
Girard OF the financial dynasties of
today only the Astors and Vanderbilts
were represented In Glrards time. and
the fortune of the distinguished Phila-
delphian exceeded that of Commodore
Cornelius Vanderbilt or the first John
Jacob Aston. Girard was worth $9OO0.-
600 Mt the time of his death. Much Of
this money he left to the city Of Phila-
delphia for public purposes. and
100000 were applied to the building
OF college for orphans. This institu-
ton has supported and educated tens
of thousands of orphans and fitted
them for their battles with the world.

Paris.-Damaged tanks, abandoned
by the French when the Germans
made their late spring drive, were
used as shields behind which German
machine gunners opposed the Amerl-
cons at various points between Fismes
and scissors. according to Corp. Royal
Thurver of Reedsburg, Wis.
"They got behind these old up
turned tanks, number of which

crossed the Yesle," said Thurver.
"But, of course, it was only ques.
ton of time until we worked our way
around them and then the German
machine gunners decided they were
through with the war. They invaria
bly, surrendered"
Thurver was shot in the chest and
arm from a machine gun behind one
of the tanks.

Get New Kidneys !!

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of tiltering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of appetite; indIges-
ton; irritation, or even stone in the bad
der. These symptoms indicate condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute. At the first in
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver.
bladder or urinary organs start taking
