Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney. or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy

toms of kidney trouble.

There are still sailors in big num-

have been problem. During the revo-
luton the sailors played an important
part, and most of them developed such
q liking to land duty in Berlin and the
other big cities that they have refused
to leave for Kiel or any of the har-

guard regiments all over Germany,
along with soldiers.
Big Army Disappears.
The German army is in process of
reorganization. Immediately after the
armistice the army almost disappeared
as an organized unit, and though there
were millions of men in uniform scat
tered all over the land, none was re-
lsponsible to anyone, and officers were
not safe in uniform. In localities the
soldiers joined RED guard" groups,
and some served and others misused
their privileges. Thus the army as it
was known in the old days practically
vanished, except for a few divisions
under Hindenburg, camped behind the
Rhine, and the troops along the Polish
border.
Now the only army of the field that
Germany has is in the east to guard
against the Poles. 1t is commanded
by Hindenburg and is supposed to be

Chicago TwirIer Says 1t Was Not In

Jim Vaughn has given a Chicago
writer an explanation of why he failed
with the New York Yankees so COM
pletely several years ago that he was
dumped to the minors, to then come
back and prove such a winner with
the Chicago Cubs. 1t was not indif-
ference, but a lame arm, says Hippo
Jim.
Vaughn was charged with being
Iackadaisical while he was with the
Yankees in 1910, IL and IL and was
roughly PANIED by some New York

In the way of winning ball games.
They did not know he injured his
arm in the season of 1910.

81 like to pitch, and have never
refused a manager yet. I have often
worked out of my turn despite the
fact that it is just as hard for big
man to pitch as it is for a little
man. Size has not everything to do
with twirling. It is the arm, and a
man of my stature is just as likely
to tire and wear out his arm as a
smaller and lighter pitcher"
Vaughn certainly has not shown any
lazy tendencies since he was secured
by the Cubs in 1913. That year he
ioined the club late in the fall and
pitched in seven games, five of which
he won. In 1914 he took his place as
a regular twirler on the staff of the
club and has retained it. Not includ-
ing the seven games he pitched in
the fall of 1913 he has averaged bet

summer, owing to the short season,
