WASH THE KIDNEYS

All the blood in the body passes thru
the kidneys every few minutes. This is
why the kidneys play such an important
role in health or disease. By some mis-
terious process the kidney selects what
ought to come out of the blood and
takes it out. If the kidneys are not
good-workmen and become congested-
poisons accumulate and we suffer from
backache, headache, lumbago, rheu-
matism or gout. The urine is often
cloudy, full OF sediment; channels often
get sore and sleep is disturbed at night.
So it is that DIR. Pierce, of the Invali1s'
Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo,
N. Y, advises Washing the Kidneys"

 ITALIANS EXECUTE
 1. BRILLIANT MOVE AFTER INACTIVITY

Italian Army Headquarters, Satur- day, May 11.-(By the Associated
 Press )-After a long period of inactiv- ity, owing to weather conditions, Ital- ian troops on the mountain front exe- cuted a brilliant operation last night capturing and dominating the position of Monte Corno, destroying an elab- crate system or enemy defenses and
 taking 100 prisoners, two guns, a num-
 Der of machine guns and much war ma
 terial.
 The action was in the Arsa valley,
 which leads down from the LaGarina
 valley, and is the main line of approach
 from Trent and Roveretto. It was here
 that the Austrians attempted to reach
 the Venetian plain in the first great offensive. Recently they have erected
 powerful defenses, with battery posi-
 tions built in rock and electrically charged, and with a system of barbed
 wire entang1ements.
 There was considerable snow remain
 ing on Monte Corno which is 5000 feet high This increased the difficulties |of movement of the comparatively small Italian force which carried out the at-
 tack It was preceded by short artil- lery acton.
 The infantry advanced over rocky and precipitous heights. The enemy was taken by surprise and could make lit- tie effective resistance. The movement
 was carried out by moonlight All the enemy's defensive works were occupied An Italian position was established on the crest of the mountain and the sur :
 rounding slopes
 The chief effect of the action is to dislodge the Austrians from the dom hating height in the center of the main highway from the mountains and to give the Italians the advantage of that position, with the command 1t has over the heights and approaches. The result gives great satisfaction, espe- cially as the victory was won on the very spot where pr. Ceasare Battisti 2 deputy from Trent, who went over to the Italians, and others of his heroic band were captured during the first of fensive Dr. Battisti was put to death by the Austrians on the charge of trea- son
