Garbless Girl Wader in “Septem
ber Morn’” Shocks Guardian
of New York Morals.
NEW YORK. May 12 —Anthony
Comstock, bead of the New York So
ciety for the Suppression of Vice, to
day concurred with “Rath house”
John Coughlin, of Chicago, and op
pos'd Judgment passed by the French
Academy, by declaring "September
Morn," the masterpiece of M. Cha-
bas. to be "highly indecent and total
ly unfit for public exhibition.”
While strolling along Meat Forty-
sixth Street this morning, the guar
dian of New York s morals glanced
iVi the window of a prominent art
store. The first and only thing Mr.
Comstock's eye could see was the
famous painting of the nude girl
splashing in the cool shadows of a
mountain lake
“Take it out immediately.” ordered
Mr. Comstock.
“But that is ‘September Morn,' ”
declared the art dealer.
“It should be pitch dark for a girl
to go in wading in that undressed
condition.” announced Mr. Comstock.
1 “Take it away immediately or I shall
confiscate your entire stock."
The picture came out. but was re-
I turned a few hours later. In the
meantime art critics are weighing
the combined judgment of Anthony
I Comstock and “Bathhouse” John
| against that of the judges of the
| French Academy, who are on record
, as saying that "September Mom” is
one of the world's art treasures.

No one ran be well »nd healthy
unless the kidneys work properly
and keep the blood pure. When
they become clogged up and inac
tive, nature hae a way of warning
you.
Backache is one of the first
symptoms. You may also be troubled
with disagreeable, annoying bladder
. disorders: havV attacks of lumbago
\ or - rheumatism; become nervous,
) tired, and feel all worn out; puffy
swellings show under the eyes or in
the feet and ankles; and many other
symptoms are noticed. If they are
neglected. dropsy, diabetes, or
Bright's disease, which so often
prove fatal, may result.
It is not only dangerous, but need
less, for you to suffer and endure
the tortures of these troubles, for
the new discovery, Croxone. quick
ly and surely ends all such misery.
There Is no more effective rem
edy known for the prompt cure of all
such troubles than this new scientific
preparation, because it removes the
cause It soaks right into the kid
neys, through the walls and linings,
cleans out the clogged-up pores:
neutralizes and dissolves the poison
ous uric acid and waste matter that
lodge in the joints and muscles and
cause those terrible rheumatic pains,
and makes the kidneys filter and sift
the poison out of the blood and drive
it from the system.
You will find Uroxone different from
all other remedies. It is so prepared
that it is practically impossible to
take it into the human system with
out results.
An original package of Croxone costs
but a trifle, and all druggist* are
authorized to personally return the
purchase price if Croxone should
fail in a single case. Three dose*
a day for a few days is often all that
is ever needed to cure the worst
backache, relieve rheumatic pains,
or overcome urinary disorders
