Not Always Understood.

A fact often overlooked, or not always
understood, is that women suffer as much
from distressing kidney and bladder troub-
les as the men. The womb Is situated
back of and very close to the bladder, and
for that reason any distress, disease or
inconvenience manifested In the kidneys,
back, bladder or urinary passage Is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weakness
or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be as
easily avoided by setting urine aside for
twenty four hours; sediment or settling

His Wedding symphony.


His Wedding symphony.
Poets must be paid for their work.
This was the decision of Justice Under
wo"d recently when he gave Poet Isaac
A. Pool of Chicago Judgment against
Captain Peter Lawson of the fire depart
ment for $l5.25. The money was for
poetry which the poet says he furnished
for the fireman's wedding little over
month ago and which the fireman re-
fused to pay for.
He says that $40 was for his work
and 1925 for the cost of having the
poetry printed Captain Lawson does
not deny that he accepted the poetry,
but says he did not know that he was
expected to pay for it. On the other
hand Pool declared that there was a
distinct understanding that the poetry
should be paid for.
The poetry consisted of "a Wedding
Symphony to Captain Peter Lawson and
Carrie M. Specht" and "Emily's Greet
ing to Her Sister," Following is the

it is because blood is in the brain. The
remedy, therefore, is obviously to call
the blood down from the head. This

palace. Isis was engaged as nurse TOT the kings children, and by restoring one of them to life so gained the king good will that he gave her the pillar containing the long-sought corpse when she asked for 1t.
 Isis then hastened to Egypt with the chest, but leaving it to find her son Horus, Set happened to see the cofnn. He opened it, cut the body of Osiris to pieces and threw them all over the land of Egypt. Isis set forth to find these scattered members and wherever she found any part she buried it, to be sure that Set would not interfere again Wherever one of these burials took place a shrine was erected to Osiris, but his chief shrine was in Abydos, where it was said that his head rested in a small chest. The soul Of osiris was transformed into the bird Benu, the phenix of Greece. As compenSa- tion fer his sufferings and reward for Isis long years of devotion, Osiris be- came the King of the Dead or the su- preme judge in the Tribunal of Amen ti,'' where he weighed the heart of the deceased in the scales. The heart IS placed on one side, the symbol for truth on the other.
 But the legend is not complete with out the rest of the adventures Of Set and Horus. After Sets crowning bar Darlty or scattering HIS DIOlLSI DOAISo' Horus, the son of Osiris, seeks out the murderer to be avenged. A terrible conflict ensues, in which Horus loses an eye but nevertheless makes Set ac- knowledge him as the true Pharaoh.
 Such is the chief legend handed down about these gods for ten millenia. The worship of Osiris was at first confined to Abydos, but gradually it spread all over Egypt, from the sixth dynasty on- ward, many of the princes and priests having their bodies taken to- Abydos for permanent burial or at least to pay visit to Osiris Uenofre. This ceremony of taking the mummy to see Osiris was performed in great state by the priests.
 As the reverence for the God-King snread his character was developed in the popular mind As King he was looked up to for teaching the people how to till the soil, as the great law giver and teacher of science. Later he became not only the King of Eternity, but also the divine symbol of every thing that died and lived again. The averaging Horus, born after his fathers death, was the symbol of final conquest and later became the sun god, as Osiris was made the god of the Nile, which

sustains the life of Egypt. The con- fiict between Set and Horus then changed to the symbolic strife be- tween light and darkness, good and evil.
 Psychologists, like Brugsch, regard ed the dynasties of the Egyptian gods as pure myths, comparing these divini- ties with those of Greece, not heSltat- ing to cite Apollo as the parallel to Horus for instance. Later historians of Egypt like Bolko Stern QS96) and Adolf Erman (18S5-1S95), omit the list of the god kings altogether, notwith- standing the fact that Egyptian sources cite two dynasties of god kings. and then a dynasty of dem1- gods, oe- fore the first human dynasty beginning with Menes. Some have doubled the actuality even of Menes himself, but late researches, especially by Flinders Petrie. and De Morgan, have estab- lished the historic character or the first human dynasty.
 M. Amelineau has, however, eclipsed all previous discoveries by his excava- tions at Ul UXur (ancient Luxor), where he asserts that he has found the actual tonbs of Osiris, Set and Huros. The earliest date assigned to Menes IS 57O2 B. C., but, according to the Egyp- tian lists of kings, more than 2000 years passed under the divine and semi divine dynasties, so that this latest find takes us back about 10000 wears ago, the time preceding the earli est of the so-called prehistoric tombs found by De Morgan. M. Amellneau S researches, if confirmed, prove that Osl- ris Isis Set and HoruS walked the earth, breathed, married, ruled, fought, died and were buried.

HE tomb of Osiris? the tomb Of
 Horus? the tomb of Set? If we
 are to believe the words of one of
 the most reliable of European
 \ scholars, NJ Amelineau, he has
 discovered the tombs of these
 Egyptian deities in the sands of Abvdos. Abydos is not very far from Thebes, on the river Nile, and was for merly the capital of the Eighth nome or province. The historians tell us that Abydos was the most sacred spot in Egypt and that every pious Egyptian wished to be buried there near the shrine of Osiris. When the great fes- tivals were celebrated in the Middle Empire, one of the chief days was de- voted to Osiris of Abydos; the former battles of this god were represented, and then the pretended body of the god was carried to the shrine and buried
 Who was Osiris? His name appears in the list of the god kings of Egypt immediately preceding Set and Horus, but there are many legends related of him in Egyptian literature. The chief of these is that Deb, the earth god, married Nut, the goddess of heaven Four children were born to them, Osiris and Set, Isis and Nephthys Osiris succeeded his father as Pharaoh of Egypt, marrying his sister, Isis; Set married the other sister, Nephthys, after she had borne one son, Anubis, to Osiris.
 When Osiris had reigned for a few years Set tried to dethrOne him, but failed, and it was only after Osiris had been Pharaoh for twenty-eight years that Set laid plot to kill him. He made a beautiful coffin, just the size of Osiris, and offered to give it to any one whom it would fit. When Osiris got in to try it Set and his friends put on the lid, nailed it fast and poured hot lead all around it. They then threw it into the Nile, which carried box and body to the sea.
 Isis, Osiris widow went in search of her husbands body. and while living in the marshes of the delta of the Nile Horus was born. Here he grew to manhood but Isis was still seeking her husbands body. The gods told her that she would now go to Phoenicia, and there at Byblos she found that the chest containing Osiris body had been washed up on the shore and inclosed by the trunk of huge tree. This tree had been cut down by the King of By bios and now stood as a pillar in his

of Ma'at, the great priest of Osiris, buried here near his god.
 It is rather strange, in the face of such monumental proof as this, to find the learned Wilkinson writing that from the account of Manetho and other writers who mention the rule of the gods, it would seem as if the earliest form of government in Egypt was a hierarchy where the King was priest. He adds:
 'The succession of the different gods to the sovereignty of the country would then be explained by that of the respective colleges of priests, though the duration of their reigns is totally inconsistent with truth or probability. It is true that infant states are more usually governed by some individual pre-eninent for his abilities either as a statesman or warrior than by a body of persons with equal authority; but as the former opinion appears to be less at variance with what history has imparted to us, it is more reasonable to conclude that Egypt was ruled by a hierarchy"
 Fom this it would seem that Wilkin- sons historical instinct suggested the truth that the ancient gods were kings, but the rejection of the myths and le- gends about them by other scholars tempted him to believe that t'the story allegorical" Now, however, through the latest discovery the true history is imparted to uS,' and we know that Osiris was not mere allegorical character HerodOtus may have mis- led many Psychologists by his state ment that the Egyptians ridiculed the Greeks for pretending to derive their origin from deities.'' But this is not the first instance of misleading on the part of the Father of Lies" Of course,
