Cedar Falls, sustained property
loss of about s406 by fire last night,
when a combination corn crib and

to word today. The loss is partially
covered by insurance.

IT'S NOT YOUR HEART
IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS

Kidney disease is no respecter of per-
sons. A majority of the ills affecting
people today can be traced back to
kidney trouble.
The kidneys are the most important
organs of the body. They are the
filterers, the purifiers, OF your blood.
Kidney disease is usually indicated by
dependency, backache, stomach trou-
Bile, pain in loins and lower abdomen,
gall stones gravel, rheumatism, sciatica
and lumbago.
All these arrangements are natures
signals to warn you that the kidneys
need help. You should use GOLD
MEDAL Harlem Oil Capsules imme-

diately. The soothing, healing oil slim
ulates the kidneys, relieves infiamma-
tons and destroys the germs which
have caused it. Do not wait until to-
morrow. Go to your druggist today and
insist on GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil
Capsules. In twenty-four hours you
should feel health and Vigor returning
and will bless the day you first heard
of GOLD MEDAL HARLEM OIL

yourself, continue to take one or two
capsules each day, SO as to keep in
first class condition and ward of the
danger of other attacks.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 4.-Presi-

here today that his purpose was Ito
go out and report to my fellow coun-
trymen."
"The only people l owe any re-
port" said the President, are you
and the other citizens of the United
States" :"
The President said it also seemed
increasingly necessary that he should
make such a report because he had
read many speeches about the treaty
and was unable to gather from them
much Of what the treaty contained.
He spoke to a crowd which jammed
the Memorial hall. The meeting was
persided over by DR.. w. O. Thompson,
president Of the Ohio State Uniyer-
sity, and the President was introduc-
ed by Former Governor James q.
Campbell.
Mr.. Wilson said he had "chafed at
the confinement of Washington" i" and
was glad to get out to make his re
port of the people.
In the first place, the President
said, the treaty undertook to punish
Germany, but that there was no
thought to overwhelmingly crush any
great people.
Restraint had been exercised, he
said, and there was provision for
making the reparations no greater
than Germany could pay.

In referring to the case this morn

FATAL TO
BOY CAR STRUCK
George Mcneil Carpenter
Made Wonderful Fight
But Odds Too Great.

George Mancill Carpenter, aged
six years, died shortly after one
O'Clock at Falrmont Hospital this af-
ternoon, having lived twenty-four
hours following an accident yester-
day in which he was mangled by a
Monongahela Valley Traction Com
pany street or at Google crossing on
Morgantown avenue.
Authorities at the hospital report
ed that the little fellow made des-
perate fight for life, although yester-
day it was not believed he could live
through the evening. Last night He
rallied and was able to recognize his
parents, who were at his bedside, but
this morning he sank again and it
was known that the end was inevi-
table.
The boy, with a playmate, was
making mud pies in pool across
the street car track from his home,
Just before the street car came up,
the two children had a disagreement
and the little Carpenter boy started
to run into the house. He ran di-
rectly in front of the car, and al
though it was moving at slow rate
Of speed at the time, it was imposs-
ible for the motorman to stop 1t in
time to save the child's life.
After being rushed to Fairmont
Hospital 1t was fo,lid necessary to
amputate his right leg and left fore
arm. His left leg was horribly
crushed, his skull fractured and a
rib on the right side broken.
The body is being removed this
afternoon to the home Of his strick-
en- parents and funeral arrangements
will be made later.
