I work properly, the other organs canui readily be brought back to health an . strength. When the kidneys are neglected c abused in any way, serious results ai sure to follow. According to health sti tistics, Brlght's Disease, which is rea . ly au advanced form of kidney troubl f mused nearly ten thousand deaths i , one year, in the State of New Yor , alone. Therefor,e it is particular] , necessary to pay more attention to tli , health of these important organs.

In a few minutes the ie. lutter's secretary also came in and joined the party. The New Jersey ^ man brought up the color question and rjd told Mr. Xicholls that the people of x. the South did not understand the ne0f gro and a good deal more along the same line, none of which was compli VI rt uientary to the white people. He also t0 said that his father was an abolitionor ist and that he was one too. 1(j At this point the Fourth district f_ congressman protested that he did not te care to discuss the negro question, the e_ alN)litionist or anything about the w subject. The New Jersey man con0 tinned his insulting remarks. Then quick as lightening out went ?(1 Mr. Xlcholls' left fist, straight from in the shoulder, landing squarely on the a_ New Jersey man's jaw for a good upam i>ercut. The New Jersey man had been Km told what the South Carolinian )e thought of himself and his ancestors. r.

There has been artilry activity on various other sectors ' the Russian front, but no infantry anoeuvres of importance have been ported. The Russians in Armenia, have put >*n with heavy casualties a stubborn ark attack, and southeastward, in e region of Mush, driven the Ottoau forces from their defences in a ountain chain. In addition the Rubans, operating westward from the jrsian frontier toward Bagdad, have slodged the Turks from fortified potions and driven them farther eastard. The Gorizia bridgehead and the reon around San Martino in the Austro alian theatre have been heavily >mbarded. At San Martino, Vienna >serts that the Italians suffered hear losses through the explosion of an ustrian mine. Bombardments have atured the fighting on the other seers of this front.
