STREETS WITH ODD PAVING
Few Civilized Towns Would Care to
Duplicate Thoroughfare Known
to Exist in Africa.

Paris, we are told, is to be paved
with glass and this has been referred
to as IL 1t were quite unknown. How
ever, this is not so, for Lyons already
has the Rue de la Republique, with
its glass pavements laid In blocks
inches square, so closely fitted that
water cannot pass through them.
But streets of glass are not by any
means the most curious streets in the
world. There is a street in Gwandu,
Africa, which is a veritable place of
skulls. The town, oval in shape, has
round it ring of poles, every one of
which is crowned with a human skull.
There are six gates to the town. and
every one of them is approached by
a pavement of skulls, of which some
thing Ike 1900 were used. The pave
ment is snowy white.
Philadelphia has a street made with
compressed grass, and the experiment
promised so well after a year that
there may soon be many companion
streets of grass.

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 the
kidney trouble.
The kidneys are the most important
organs of the body. They are the i'll
terers of your blood. If the poisons
which are swept from the tissues by the
blood are not eliminated through the
kidneys, disease of one form or another
will claim you as a victim.
Kidney disease is usually indicated by
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trou-
bic, pain in loins and lower abdomen,
gall stones, gravel rheumatism, sciatica
and lumbago.
An these derangements are natures

Oppose Teachers Pension Bill.

Opposition to the new school teach
ers' pension bill has developed in the
Milwaukee Teachers association.
Teachers say it is their belief that the
school board is planning to empower
itself with the means of summarily
ousting any teacher. The new bill,
being framed by G. w. Babcock. as.
sistant city attorney, provides for the
pensioning Of teachers after 30 years
of service, while the old law makes
retiring optional with the teacher. IF
forts are being made to have the
measure amended.

Socialists Opposed to UNIVERSITY.

The Socialist party in the ,legiSla-
ture is opposed to the university. For
the first time since their delegation
has been formidable in the legislature
the Socialists have turned against the
University Of Wisconsin. Senator l..
A. Arnold, the senate leader of the So
cialists, served notice TO this effect
last week when he attacked the gem
eral appropriation bin carrying $780,
961 for the biennial period. He de-
clared that reactionary influences had
appeared In the university in recent
years and that they had been especial
ly pronounced during the period of the
war. The four Socialist votes were
registered against the appropriation.
