WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT AFTER
YEARS OF PATIENT RESEARCH,
John Morrow, one of our Most Distin guish
ed Chemists, has Made IA Remarkable
Discovery, Destined to Revolution
ize the Treatment eft Brights
Disease. Diabetes, and
Kindred Troubles.


The most important excretory organs of the
body are the kidneys. When they fail to per-
form their work properly serious arrangement
of all organs of the body is sure to follow. 1t
is impossible for the body to retain etfete
matters in its system and not become thor
oughly poisoned. Impure and impoverished
blood, which is unfit to nourish the body, is
the result, and, unless we get rid of the poison
by the prompt and proper action of the kid
neys, Bright's disease some other kidney
trouble will be induced, and eventually pro-
duce death.
The great medical dscovery, Morrow's Kid
neoids, in yellow tablet form, are made to
meet every stage of the disease as it may arise,
by destroying all avenues of the diseases pro-
gress or, when it is fully underway, to sup
press further increase and build up formid-
able barrier against further advance of the
disease No medical discovery of the present
century, not even DR.. Koch's Lymph for the
cure of consumption, is doing so much for suf-
fering humanity as Morrow's kidneods.
Diabetes is another most common kidney
trouble, ranking next to Brght's disease in its
terrible destruction. The first symptoms are
failure OF strength and emaciaton The
mouth is pasty, skin dry and hard, the bowels
are constipated, vomiting is frequent, the Wis
ion becomes dim, memory and intellect fail,
and the temper becomes irritable.
| In diabetes as well as Bright's disease no
medicine compares with Morrow's Kidneoids.
They are made especially for healthful action
upon the kidneys, going direct to the seat of
the trouble, making their presence felt almost
Immediately after the first dose is taken
| Morrow's Kidneoids are for sale at all deal
ers. Price 30 cents box or six boxes for
$3.50. If not to be had at your dealers, they
will be sent postpaid upon receipt of price by
the Herb Medicine Co., Springfield, Ohio.

Striped Shirt Waist.

o. we know that spring with us, we can feel 1t in
the air,
We can see the sprlngy symptoms floating round
us everywhere,
We can hear It in the music of the brdlets in the
trees
And we have the corroboration in the softness of
the breeze.
And the pleasure that It brings us is completely out
OF sight,
Every day some revelation comes to fill US with de.
light,
But the very pleasure to this humble writer's
taste
Is the blooming of the maidens in the
Striped
Waist
Now, we meet them in the parlor and we see them
on the street,
And they sort OF draw attention from study OF the
feet;
And they look cool and easy as they in the breezes
swirl
That fellow keeps regretting that he wasn't born
girl.
maiden may be pretty a maiden may be plain.
Her name may be Maud or Bery or just homely
Mary Jane,
She is bound to look attractive II she's sauciy in
cased

Have Faith in the Boy.

Have faith in the boy, not believing
That he is the worst of his kind,
In league with the army of Satan,
And only to evil inclined
But daily to guide and control him
Your wisdom and patience employ,
And daily, despite disappointment
And sorrow, have faith in the boy.
Have faith to believe that some moment
In LIES strangely checkered career,
Convicted, subdued and repentant,
The prodigel son will appear
The gold in his nature rejecting
The dark and debasing alloy.
Illuming your spirit with gladness,
Because you have faith in the boy.
Though now he is Maynard and stubborn
And keeps himself sadly aloof
From those who are anxious and fearful,
And ready with words of reproof;
Have faith that the prayers of a mother
His wandering feet will arrest,
And turn him away from his fOllies
To weep out his tears on her breast.
The brook that goes dsshing and dancing
We may not divert from its course,
Until the wild turbulent spirit
Has somewhat expended its force;
The brook is the life of the river,
And II we the future might scan,
We'd lind that boisterous boyhOod
Gave vigor and life to the man,
All many boy has been driven
Away from the home by the thought
That no one believed IN his goodness.
Or dreamed of the battle he fought;
So ii you would help him to conQuer
The foes that are prone to annoy,
Encourage him often with kindness,
And show you have faith In the boy.
Have faith in his good resolutions.
Believe that at last he'll prevail;
Though now he's forgetful and needless,
Though day after day he may fail,
Your doubts and suspicious misglvings
His hope and his courage destroy;
So, II you'd secure brave manhood,
IT'S well to have faith In the boy.

To go to school agen.
And then the government would have
To furnish me gun,
And I'd iist shoot away all day
Gee, wouldn't it be fun!
Wouldn't have to study then,
Fer fear | wouldn't pass,
And wouldn't have to NOV the lawn,
Nor rake away the grass.
And when got into the game

And always chase me off to git
