DIET AND HEALTH
BY DR.. Logan Clendening-

It is often surprising how
much can be accomplished for
what seems a serious amount
of kidney degeneration. have
in mind a patient who is the
ideal patient for a doctor be-
cause she does just what she is
told. She has a strong will and
limits herself to the amount and
kind of food she is told to eat,
never breaking over. The con-
sequence is that whereas 10
years ago her blood chemistry
analysis showed large amounts
of nitrogen waste products were
being retained, she has lived in
complete comfort and is today,
so far as the blood chemistry is
concerned, better off that she
was at the beginning Of treat
ment.
Richard Bright'S. Theory
When Richard Bright, in
1929, published his observa-
tions on kidney disease and
furnished us with the name
Bright's disease, he considered
that the disease was strictly
confined to the kidneys. His
greatest. interest was in the ex-
animation of urine, and he
demonstrated the abnormal ele-
ment albumin in it by boiling
urine in pewter spoon over a
candle.
Rest Is Essential
Since his day the conception
Of Bright'S disease has enlarged.
It now is considered a disease
of all the arteries of the body,
though perhaps especially the
blood vessels of the kidney.
The entire body-the blood
pressure and the heart-are
involved, and treatment must
take all these parts into &C.

the kidneys alone.

did you notice her on that
divan, in the corner Of the
room? She looked like a
corpse. I don't believe she'll
last much longer, do yOu?"
When I picked up the paper
two days after that, I saw
poor James name in the head
lines. She had jumped out OF
the tenth story Of a fashion
able hotel, and was found
crushed in the courtyard, below.
Just An Accident
Poor Jane, the papers called
it an accident.
James father was man Of
influence and the police let it
go at that.
But everyone who. knew her
knew that she did not fall out
of that window. She jumped,
and I envied her the courage
which helped her to do it.

CHAPTER Al.

Down into the cellar we
went, the musty, i'll smelling,
dirty cellar that underlies so
many of the gorgeous resorts OF
this sort in New York city.
Out through a cellar door,
over a wall, through a back
yard, over another wall, I fell
and hurt my knees-no time
to think of that.
Up and running again, the
brown man pulling me along
as if I was so much heavy
baggage.
Finally, scratched. and bleed
ing, my clothes torn, one shoe
gone, one silk stocking nothing
but a festoon Of rags,
stopped a taxi on a dark side
street.
The brown man helped me
into the taxi. I gave him a
10-dollar bill. He smiled, show
ing his white teeth.
Get yourself a good shot," I
said, you'll need it,"

The brown man shook his
head.

said. in his soft slurring voice.

Soon after this I went to a
party which ended once and for
all the way of dope for my tired
feet.

apartment and girl I will call

with me. / was lonely, my
money was running out and I
liked Frances, so we made up
our minds to double up.
My arrival at the hotel the
night of the raid on the Harlem
party caused good deal of COM
ment. 1t was about 4 in the
morning when I appeared on
the scene, my clothes in rags,
my face scratched and torn.
Frances On the Dope
The next morning I was asked
to leave the hotel, so I called up
Frances and we went into the
apartment together.
Frances was on the dope, too.
We tried to keep our daily al

Important News
He wrote to Mary Lou that
night. He had, he said, some
thing important to tell her, and
would be out on the following
afternoon. He had promised
Jenny to come for the weekend
but would stop at Westwood
first. Could she, by any happy
chance, get rid of Lorrimer for
a few minutes? He must see

scrawling hand, and, sealing the
envelope, went out to the mail

"an elegant evening" and
promised to see her soon again.
Then he went home to his
lodging house room and took
his red head in his hands and
tried to think himself-and all
of them-out of this situation,
a situation which appeared to
contain within itself the devas-
tating powers of dynamite.
His first impulse was to tele-
phone Mrs. Lorrimer. But on
second thoughts he decided that
he would tell Mary Lou first
of all. She was a sane little
person, was Mary Lou, level
headed and clear-eyed. She
would know what to do,
whether to tell Lorrimer at
once or whether, which was

crate and not firing exercise,
baths judiciously planned as to
temperature and duration, as
well as diet, are parts of the
treatment. Diet, however, is
the .crux of the matter. In
these cases the kidney is unable
to throw off its regular quota
of the nitrogen waste products
and they accumulate in the
blood. Being abnormal there
they cause some untoward
symptoms.
The logical thing to do is to
reduce these substances in the
diet. The nitrogen waste
products are urea, uric acid,
creatin, creatinine and am
monia. They arise from the
protein foods. Some of them,
such as creatin, arise from the
body's own muscle tissue. So
it is the protein in the diet
which must be reduced.

send me the best you have, as
I certainly need it and will be
thankful for it.
I married a man about 40.
It was his first marriage; my
second. I have a boy, 10 years
old who lives with us. My
husbands mother does not like
my child and is always pick
ing on him, which hurts me
very much, and she doesn't like
me-always picking a fight
over something. For instance,
she tells me when should
clean my room and when I
shouldn't. She is not very
clean herself. I am just the
reverse and like to have things
looking nice. She Is unreason-
able in so many ways, and my

I'm almost tempted to run

I do?

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been going with a
certain boy for almost a year.
Sometimes he claims he loves
me more than any other girl,
and yet he will go to another
girls house when he has a
date with me. If 1 ever did
that he would get terribly
mad. Everybody calls me a
fool, but what can I do? He
is always as good as gold
when with me.
ONE OF YOUR READERS.
What do you expect? If you
let a boy break a date with you
and know that he puts in the
time calling on another girl,
you get just about what you
deserve if you continue to re-
ceive him.
If girls would only learn to
have a little independence Of
character and drop boy when
he has been rude to them,
they'd get much better treat
ment. I'm a great believer in
that ancient maxim: whats
sauce for the goose is sauce for
the gander." Next time you
have a date with the boy
friend, break it and go out with
someone else.

yourselves. If she is dependent
on her son, you wouldn't like
to be the means of depriving
his mother of O home and put

your husband might agree to
this-he would resent it and
the unfavorable comment it
would cause. Before you resort
to any drastic measure-try

Further indications that the big international celebration to be held here next month is at- tracing wide attention are provided by telegrams received during the past few days from outside sources. One of these is from the Boy Scouts of An yoX asking if they can come here for their annual vacation during the celebration period. It is understood that there will be 30 or 40 of them.
 The other message was from the admiral of the U. s. Pac- fife fleet and asked if good ac- comodations are to be had here for wives and relatives of of- ficers of the U. s. s.

The Moose are planning to further improve the fine bath ing pool at Moose Park, near the north end of town, by in stalling a Hume in such man. ner as to divert the water from the creek which runs into the swimming pool and keeps the water too cold for comfortable swimming. The Hume will be about 200 feet long and will carry the creek water to d point below the dam. This will permit the water in the pool to become amply warm for bath ing.

NOT A T RI A L

Considerable misapprehen- sion appears to exist regard ing the nature and object of that process of law known as a preliminary hearing or "bind- over' proceeding, one of which involving a well-known local citizen, was held here recent ly. In explanation it may be aid first of all that such a pro- ceeding is not a trial in the accepted meaning of the term. The sole object and purpose of such examinations is to de- termine first if an infraction of the law has been committed, and second, if there is suffic- ant cause to believe that such infraction was committed by he person accused. No other questions are involved in such proceedings.
 In the event that the evi- dence discloses sufficient cause 70 believe the defendant com mitted the act or acts charged, the justice or commissioner has no other option than to hold him to answer to the district court. In the usual course of procedure the case is then taken before the grand jury for further investigation of the evidence and the grand jury decides whether the accused shall be held for trial in the district court or be released. In the first instance the grand jury returns a true bill" and in the second it returns a mot true bill" From this it will be seen that the preliminary ex- animation does not determine conclusively that defendant is guilty of the act charged against him, but only if there exist reasonable grounds for believing that he may be gull ty. Neither does the return of true bill by the grand jury establish conclusively the guilt of a person accused. In such case the guilt or innocence of the accused is determined by jury trial in the district court.

ALASKA EXPORTS
 SHOW GOOD GAIN

Exports of Alaska merchan- disc to the United States dur ing May showed a decided inn provement over those of the proceeding four months, with a total value of $1,784,561. According to the monthly statements of the U. s. Gus toms office at Juneau, this was $1, ,076,071 more than for May, 1880, and $937,619 greater than for April this year. The increase for the month was due largely to in- creased shipments of canned salmon, and furs, with blue fox valued at $147,770 lead ing the list of furs.
 Gold and silver shipments for the month totaled $653,222, to which gold contributed $644,- 056.

HOSPITAL IN URGENT NEED

The Stewart General Hospit- al is in urgent need of financial assistance if it is to continue in operation and maintain the splendid record of service to the community established in earlier years.
 Providentially there has been very little illness lately but the absence of income from patients has created a most serious state of financial stringency and a drive has been started to raise funds. The first effort in this con- nection was the dance on June 3. The first of July has also been turned over to the hos pital board and everyone is urged to give their whole hearted support toward mak, ing the day big success.
 The hospital unquestionably is one of the greatest assets the district possesses and it would be in the nature of 8 calamity if it were forced tc close, as will surely happen if the requisite support is not forthcoming.

VALUE OF ALASKA
 TRADE z BILLIONS

The value of Alaska trade and production to the United States during the past 50 years was disclosed in Illuminating manner by Alaska delegate to Congress James Wickersham in a recent address, in which the delegate placed the total trade of the Territory during that period at more than 21a billion dollars.
 From January 1, 1880, to December 31, 1880, a period of fifty years," the delegate said, "Alaskans mined and shipped to the United States the sum of $628,806,856 in gold, copper and other miner als. There are 5000 months in fifty years-Alaska miners produced more than $1,000,- 900 of gold and copper per month during that fifty-year period. The mineral industry in Alaska is yet in its infancy and is constantly growing.
 "As great sum as that half- century output of Alaska min erals amounts to, the val ue of Alaska fish ship ped to the United States in half that period exceeds it. From 1906 to 1880, both in- cluded, a period of 25 years, Alaska fisherman caught, pre-. pared and shipped to the Unit ed States markets fish to the amount of S743,97 5,738-an annual production of $30,000,- 900. From the reports of the governor and collector of cus- toms, we are informed that the total production of Alaska fish, furs and minerals export ed to the United States since 1867, amounts to the sum of 1,762,9 ,968, ,496.
 Mot only has Alaska pro- duced and exported that great wealth to the United States, and enriched it's Pacific coast cities thereby, but her people have purchased from the Unit ed States, principally from Seattle, Portland and San Francisco, and imported into Alaska, from 1867 to date, more than 90e million dollars worth of merchandise.
 Add Alaska's total produc- tion of wealth to her total pur- chase of merchandise-our to- tai exports to, and our total imports from the United States and we have $1,762, 2,968,496, total exports; or $2,670,842,- 437 in total trade. Thus Alas ka's trade value with United States merchants and manu- facturers since 1867 is more than two and a half billion dol lars"
