Mrs. C. Anderson, 4104 W. 22nd
St., Chicago, 111., says: "I had kid-
ney trouble from childhood and
three years ago a severe spell de-
veloped. If I stooped, a terrible pain
took me In the small of my back,
and for several min-
utes I could n't
straighten. Often at
night the pain in
my back was so bad
I had to prop my-
self up with a pil-

my back would
break. Watery sacs
formed under my
eyes and my feet were so swol-
len I had to wear slippers. Sud-
den diszy spells came on and pains
In my bead drove me almoat fran-

Of great Interest as regards the
military situation in Europe is tha
withdrawal of the Austro-German ar

President Wilson is ignorant of the

Reprisal* Already Begun.
These reprisals, according to one
report, have already commenced
throughout the country owing to the
refusal of Herr Walaff, minister of the
Interior, to meet the strikers and his
action in going into conference with
