HOW TO REMAIN YOUNG,
Teed the IItrd Working Organs ol
Your Hody with JuM What They
Itt quire.
Here aro some Important truths ex
pressed by a well-known professor of
a New York Medical college.
"All Nature ever needs, or ever nsks
for, Is a little help. She becomes over
workedIs it any wonder she needs
help?"
"Tho heart beats night nnd day and
never stops. Tho lungs are always
working away like a pair of bellows.
The stomach Is constantly occupied;
so aro the kidneys and the liver. You
cannot give them a vacation, but you
can help them Immensely. Those great
organs the kidneys nnd liver are
willing to woik, but they need food
and you can give It to them."
"You can easily feed throe organs,
nnd you will be surprised how much
better you will feel If you do so. There
Is a discovery which Is an actual food
for the kidneys. It is known to scien
tists and the world as AVnrner'a Safe
Cure. By all means try it. A little
of this remarkable medicine taken
three times a day will produce a most
happy effect. Instead of being tired,
fagged out, despondent nnd with lit
tle ambition, you will grow bright,
hopeful and happy. AVomen, especial
ly, need a good friend of this kind,
and I know of scores of ladles who
would not think of being without this
grand remedy to help them when they
specially need it."
pator is an artist, and the efforts ot last
evening were well up to those at pre
vious affairs. Miss Blackman nnd
Chnrles Doersam acted as accompan
ists. SUITS AND CROSS-SUITS.
A series of suits nnd cross-suits has
disrupted the hitherto peaceful family
of AVilllam F. Canterbury, sr of
Frink street. The alleged trouble
has been brewing for sometime
past nnd culminated In the ar
rest of Mrs. Kate Freeman, Mrs.
Kate AA'alsh, Mrs. Ellen Thomas and
Joseph H. Canterbury yesterday upon
a warrant Issued from Alderman
John's office, at the Instnnce of Wll
bar.i F. Canterbury, Jr. The charge Is
one of assault and battery and impli
cates the four defendants collectively.
The parties concerned nre all neigh
tors and sons and daughters of the
senior Canterbury. In fact he seems
to be the "bone of contention" from
the fact as stated by the parties them
selves that It was because they did
not agree as to where the father should
live. Mr. Cantel-bury, Jr., desires to
have his father reside with him, ' as
the house belongs to him. The others,
it is claimed by the oldest son, seeks
to prevent this. From this grew the
alleged assault.
The defendants came before Alder
man John yesterday afternoon, and
waiving a hearing entered bail in the
Eum of $300 each( a total of $1,200) for
their appearance at court. Before
leaving two of them, Mrs. Ellen Thom
as and Joseph H. Canterbury, had each
a warrant Issued against AVilllam F.
Canterbury, Jr., the prosecutor In their
cbm. Mrs. Thomas charges assault
and battery, while Mr. Canterbury
charges perjury. Th'j case will be tried
this evening,
