condition, they may cause the other or
Eans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR.

such conditions.

Making Soap From Table Refuse,

To conserve the fats contained in
the table refuse and dishwater of the
soldiers mess, the British military
authorities installed grease traps, ac-
cording to the Popular Science Month
ly. The fat collected in these traps
averages more than one ounce for
each man daily. The traps consists of
a tih-lined wooden box. divided into
two compartments by n partition
which does not reach the bottom by
about four inches. The dishwater and
the table refuse are poured through a
strainer into the vat. AS the water
cools the fat form a crust on top and

RUSSIAN RAILWAYS IMPROVE
Coal and Other Fuel Move More
Freely From Siberia.
By the Associated Press,


MOSCOW. Sunday, June 2.-The
silroad situation in Russia has i'm
proved somewhat. according to the
report made to the central executive
committee of the soviet by N. Nevsky,
assistant commissioner of railroads.
This Is particularly true in Siberia,
where coal and other fuel are bein e
obtained more easily.
The assistant commissioner said
that the percentage OF disabled loco
motives was about thirty. Cars show
ed higher percentage. Repair shops
are unable to cope with the prob
lens owing to the lack of metal and
parts.
In European Russia the railroads
are congested with empty cars, the
number on some lines reaching
10000.
Although the Germans captured
scores of thousands of cars and sew
eral thousand locomotives. NJ Nevsky
said, Russia still had plenty. In 1917
Russia had $4,000 cars and over
10000 locomotives, but the number is
now considerably less.
The reduction would probably not be
felt greatly because of the reduction
in Russian mileage from $4,000 miles
to $4,000.
