Don't Blame Children For Something :Tissy Can't Hefp-GoIdine No.
 2 ls. What They Need.

Don't spank your children for bed wettinS All the spanking in the world won't help their kidneys and that is the cause of, this habit. If your child's kidneys are weak, it is a sign that some thing must be done and done qaickIy. Unless you start treatment, this habit will remain with the child and probably grow worse as the years pass. Now. is the time to check it.
 Mrs. Celia Shanon4 of 2207 Seventh Ave- Troy. N. Y. was worried over her dve-year-old daughter, Eva, who was afflicted with the bed wetting habit For two years Mrs. Shanon trted;to check the trouble, but with out,tsuccess. She heard from friends that Goldine No. was good kidney remedy, and got a bottle. Now she says: j.
 1T had three doctors for my daugh- ter but they, didn't seem to do any good. I got a bottle of Goldine No. and it stopped the bed-wetting the second night. It was the first medicine
 We ever got that would do it. Goidine is good medicine.''
 x Mrs. Shanon is the right kind of
 a mother, one who is constantly look ing out for the welfare of her child All mothers should be like her. And they should keep Goldine in the home for the children. Remember, Goldine No. 2 for kidney trouble. For sale in your city by G.. Engler.

 FOR ALLEGED DEsERTER

New York, March 4-Counsel for Grover Cleveland Bergdoll. wealthy young Philadelphian charged with de- sertion from the army in evading the draft law, tomorrow will try to have him declared a civilian and net a soldier and ordered out of the juris- diction Of the military authorities, 1t was announced today after the open ing of his courtmartial on Governors s Island.
 Bergdoll will appear before Federal Judge Hand on a writ of habeas cor pus and petition for the right to a civil trial. Harry Weinberger, his counsel will assert that he should be tried before civil court in Penn sylvanf1, he told the courtmartial l fb board.
 Weinberger said further he would i try to show Judge Hand that there never was a violation of the draft law | in Bergdolrs case. and that the ac- tion of the local board for Division B in Philadelphia prevented Bergdoll i from answering the draft call by scar 1 ing him and rendering him unan- swerable, physically and mentally, for his acts.
 Weinberger said Bergdolrs case was
 one of a rich man, claiming the same rights as those given to the ] .'poor and unknown and that his
 case was important as a precedent fol
 10000 others throughout the coun-
 try in exactly his position. Weinberg
 CT declared he would carry the case to the United States supreme court il necessary to procure a civilian trial | The courtmartial then was adiounet

conutinuances and claiming the board had no juridiction.
 The first pitched battle came with the prosecutions opening statement that would read the report of the military medical board which held Bergdoll under observation for nearly month to determine whether he was of unsound mind or mentally unac- countable for. his actions. The report, which, declared Berg doll now has sufficient mental ca pacity to be brought to trial" and had the necessary criminal mind at | the time of the alleged desertion to l commit the act" was finally admitted | into evidence over objection by the de- fense. Major Amos T. Parker, psy- chiartist at the Atlantic branch of the
 United States disciplinary barracks
 Governors Island. and 3 member of
 the medical board, testified that the
 opinion of the board was unanimous
 that Bergdoll was sane man.

 tary medical board took up most of the afternoon sessin. Testimny oi mt, before that board ftoatured it.
