KIDNEY DISEASE Is FATAL

When disease gets into the kidneys
it is just a scertain to take a person
off as leprosy, unless it ischecked be-
fore it goes too far. If people just
knew the danger that lurked in dis
eases of these delicate organs they
would be as careful Of them as they
are of their eyes. People who have
sound kidneys should know how to
protect and take care of them. Kid
ment a trial, there is nothing better.

Forced to Flee.
Nicholas and Ladner were engaged
in engineering work in Yucatan at the
time Governor Argumedo set up an in
dependent government, after which he
was forced to flee from a Carranzista
army and took most of the YucataI
treasury with him. The two engineers
followed Argumedo to New York anc
in time sued him here for 100000, al
leging that they aided him in his es
cape because he had their cash with
him and had agreed to bring it safely
to this city. They said that when they
demanded payment here ArgumedO in.
sisted that the money was his OVID.
The state of Yucatan also claimed all
the Argumedo cash, and finally became
chief defendant in the suits.
Nicholas had obtained judgment
for $4,000 and the state of Yucatan
was appealing, and the Iadner case
was pending trial when, according to
the af1idavits in the supreme court,
Mrs. Anita NJ. Tappan became a figure

Tighten the work of the men who
are furnishing wood. To be
sure, there are still very serious
difficulties of transportation, and
they will continue until the end

The German authorities are no

They know that when they need

ready to their hands.
There is gain TO them not only
I'm this freedom from anxiety, not
only in the saving of their own
beloved forests, not only in the
possibility of using wood more
freely, but also in the release of
man power. Sturdy Russian
peasants will cut the wood, car.

And meanwhile the men who
