THE MOST DANGEROUS
OF ALL DISEASES

No organs Of the human body are so
important to health and long life as the
kidneys. When they slow up and COM
mence to lag in their duties, look out!
Danger is in sight.
Find out what the trouble is-with-
out delay. Whenever you feel nervous,
weak, dizzy, suffer from sleeplessness,
or have pains in the back, wake up at
once. Your kidneys need help. These are
signs to warn You that your kidneys
are not performing their functions
properly. They are only half doing
their work and are allowing impurities
10 accumulate and be converted into
uric acld and ether poisons, which
are causing you distress and will de-
stroy you unless they are driven from
your system.

Service Men Taking Steps to
 Form American Legion
PREDICT A NOISY FOURTH
Lid Will Be Entirely Of This Year. keCont Real Estate Boom Shows No Signs of .Abating--Other News Items of Interest

The men of this town who served Uncle Sam during the recent world war will soon be organized, Hccord- ing to q statement made by one of the men this morning. Plans for cS- tabllShing d local post of the AmCri- can Legion have been discussed by local fighters for some time and it is general opinion of the eX-serVicc men that they would like to have such an OrganiZa1ion.
 This town sent over 200 men to the colOrs and of them nine paid the highest price of devotion to country, and will never return to their homes. The others boys arc fast returning homo and with news of the possible eva CuatiOn of the entire American army in France comes the hope that they will all be home very soon
 The need of organization among the returned men was plainly seen here at the time of tho towns vel come home to the service men. At that time the men did not know their choice for leaders and > in several other ways there was lacking the usual regularity which is attendant upon military men. Military courtesy is also one of the first principles taught in army life and that also was lack ing here at the time of the welcome home affair when the towns highest ranking officer was either ignored or overlooked by those in charge. The military men felt the slight to the officer but remained silent awaiting organization when they could control such matters themselves.
 )T. l.. Fl Frost formerly liput ant in the medical corps, is among those desirous of having d post formed here but will do nothing in the matter until some action has been taken by Major Augustine Green.
 It is probable that the first. meet ing of the mon will be attended by Major William J. Malone of Bristol or RobcN Vance of New Britain who attended the convention at St. Louis when the American Legion was formed.
 Noisy Fourth.
 Thus far no restrict ions whatever have been placed on celebrating the Fourth of July in this town and there fore merchants and enthusiasts are planning on perhaps the nOisieSt time in years. For tho past few years there had been d OanlpCr on celebrat- ing the anniversary due to war Condi- lions, but this year there will be only added reason for celebrating and being as jovial as possible. The call of the frccraciers and pistols has already been answered by the youths of the town and the steady "pop-pOp' of the crackers and the puffs of smoke from the pistols arc now an old noise and common sight in the center.
 Chief F. F. Prior of the fire depart mcnt has issued permits to the pro- prietors of various stores for the sale of fireworks. The usual precautions however, must be exercised by the sellers of the articles or else prescott ton will follow. For the night of July and there will be added pO- lice protection for the town The reg ularS will don their uniforms and will have the added support of the husky specials which have been mustered in to service by SeleCtman Johnson. The fircmcn this year will also be on duty
