pumping station; it pumps the blood to
different parts of the body. OF course 1T
Is an important matter that this blood BIO
freed from all impurities, and the heart
can't do this
Such work falls on the kidneys; hence
the kidneys are called the filters. They
must filter out all the uric acid that forms,
together with other impurities, or their
delicate fibres become clogged; then comes
the trouble, backache, headache, sideache
and other aches follow; people complain
OF sleeplessness and lame back without
approaching the cause. Very often the
Doctor makes a mistake, and says it arises
from the liver or heart. This is demon

Turnbull. who resides at so Wilsey st.
She suffered with pain In the extreme
lower portion of her back, was forced to
give up and lie in her bed most of the

back; the urine Shove a deposited sedi-

Then one day she won't to Monks drug

tin. After short concert by the First

Great Sachem Eli N. White who spoke
for tho good OF the order. The band again
rendered selection after Chief OF Records
Comfy spoke.
He referred to the late Joseph Pyle, q
prominent Red Man, than whom no better
man was ever born, and said he embodlod
all that would make men better, Mr.
Comfy said he was present to glorify, to
speak well of the lustre that should sur
round the head of every Delawarean. He
said ho came from down thar in Sussex"
and went to the keystone State like many
others on farms were forced to do. There
is always an innate love for the home
stated the speaker.
Addressing Mr.. Daniel he said as good
men and true could be found in this state
as anywhere, and it has also produced
many prominent Red Men. After again
referring to Joseph Pyle, Mr. Comfy stated
that there were men within the sound of
his voice whom he could eulogize, but be-
ins plain Delawarean he was not given
to tlattery. -

which it now stands. In lSi5 the Great
Council of Delaware was organized. and
in lS47 the Great Council of the United

that the order handles millions of dollars,
goes into thousands Of homes, and has
given charity of the kind that covers u
multitude of sins.
