NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD.

A fact often overlooked, or not al
ways understood, is that women suffer
es much from distressing kidney and
bladder trouble as men. The womb is
situated back and very close to the
bladder, and for that reason4any dis
tress, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort.
Tho error is, easily made and may be
as easily avoided by setting urine aside
for twenty-four hours; a sediment or
settling is evidence that your kidneys
and bladder need doctoring. If you
have pain or dull aching in the back,
pass water too frequently, or scanty
supply, with smarting or burning
these are also convincing proofs of Kid
ney trouble. Ifyou have doctored with
out benefit, try DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy. The
mild and extraordinary effect will sur.
prise you. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures. If you take medi-

IN THE LIGHT OF DEATH.

When all the wheels of life are running slow,
And all the fires Of life are falling low
And Pickering to an end,
Then, in deaths dawning light, VIC seem to

And not as we intend
thought to keep my own life good and fair.
Now broken, blotched and ugly, 1t lies there,
Spread like map in view.
made the blots, the blunders, everywhere,
The bitter disappointments in full share,
The sorrows. old and new.
But, though fresh failures come with each
fresh day, .
Though pain persists and will not pass away
Till life itself shall cease
Taught by this CLEAN of deaths keen search
"No human life is whole, I've learned to say.
''But of Gods whole, piece"
Each individual life is not our own.
IT'S in Gods building just one little stone
Chseled to fit one place.
Useless-not cut to shape, but left alone.
Useful, if, when its proper place is known,
1t fits it, by Gods grace!
For through Gods temple rise in noble state
Smooth marble blocks of wondrous weight
And polished pillars tall.
But there are other stones, not smooth nor
great,
Seeming despised-thrown out-yet, soon or
late,
Wanted, however small.
So, if the Master Builder needs in me

A fragment, out of sight,
Still in his house stone-if even he has chosen

Sleep.

Sleep ensues when the brain is
largely denuded of blood, when GER
ebral anamia is established. To
partly empty the brain of its blood
supply, to keep the head cool, the
body sufficiently warm and to send
the blood rather to the lower ex-
tremities-this is the physical prob
lem of the sleepless. 1t is interest
ing to note that during sleep a great
number of the bodily functions oon-
tinue quite normally without inter-
fering with sleep itself, and there
fore sleep is not so like death as
some of the poets have imagined.
Man asleep is not SO profoundly diff
ferent from man awake, the two
chief points of difference, however,
being these-a greater indrawing
of oxygen and exhalation of car
bonic acid and complete vasomo-

The Coming Woman.

Who goes to the club while her hus-
band tends the baby, as well as the
good old-fashioned woman who looks
after her home will both at times get
run down in health. They will be
troubled with loss of appetite, head
aches, sleeplessness, fainting or dizzy
spells. The most wonderful remedy
for these women is Electric Bitters.
Thousands of sufferers from Lame
Back and Weak Kidneys rise up and
call it blessed. 1t is the medicine for
women. Female complaints and Ner-
vous troubles of all kinds are soon re-
lieved by the use of Electric Bitters.
Delicate women should keep this
remedy on hand to build up the sys-
tenn. For sale at q. w. Houston's

The Nothinsness Of It.

He had been to see her father.
1t is hardly necessary here to state
what the object of his visit was.
Whatever it was may be guessed
when the reader is apprised that the
visitor was 25 and the daughter of
the father was five years younger.
He had returned to her and she
had met him in fear and trembling,

how much papa could be coaxed
into allowing them as wedding

''Nothinga" she exclaimed.
"Nothing9 He must have made

He said nothing, tell you," he
answered angrily.
It was the first time she had ever
seen him thus and her heart sank.
