nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp
toms of kidney trouble.

Address at Border City

Mexico and several officials of the
Mexican government, President-elect

policy directed toward peace and
friendship, but demand always full pro
lection of American nationality and OF
American citizens wherever they may
go.
The address. which was his first pre-
pared public utterance since his cleo
lion to the presidency, was delivered
from a stand on the Fort Brown parade
grounds without few hundred yards
of the international boundary.
In the course of his address, devoted
jointly to the significance of the Ar
mistice Day anniversary and to the
countrys foreign relations, he did not
mention Mexico by name, nor did he
refer directly to the league of nations.
I'VE crave fraternity he said, we
wish amicable relations everywhere.
We offer peace and choose to promote
it. but we demand our freedom and our
own America. | believe an America
eminent on the seas, respected IN
every avenue of trade, will be safer at
home and greater in influence through
out the world. like to think OF an
America whose citizens are ever seek
ing the greater development and en-
larged resources and widened intiu
ence of the republic, and like to think
of a government which protects Its
citizens wherever they go on lawful
mission, anywhere under the shining
sun"
