The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallow, sunken-c checked, dis
tressed looking people you SO often meet
are afflicted with kidney Complexion"
Their kindeys are turning to parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion or suf-
ralgia, brain trouble, nervous exhaustion
and sometimes the heart acts badly.
The cause Is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble is
until it is almost too late, because the first
symptoms are so like mild sickness hat
they do not think they need a medicine or
doctor until they find themselves sick in
bed
DIR, kilmer's swamp Root will build up
and strengthen their weak and diseased
kidneys, purify their diseased, kidney
poisoned blood, clear their complexion
and soon they will enjoy better health
You can get the regular sizes at the drug

a vast stream of meteOrS or shooting
stars and the worst that is likely to hap
pen 20 this earth, should we again cross
its pathway, is that we shall have a good
opportunity to witness a brilliant me-
teorjc display, a display that will surpass
anything that the world has yet seen.
Such is the history of the comet, that
in The opinion OF Professor Falb, is so
soon to nuI the duietus upon our tolls
and pleasures. In proof of his theory
he advances many arguments and cites
many instances in which comets have
been known to have come IN contact with
the earth. In addition he insists that
he is not a prophet but that his theories
are nothing more than scientific lnVest1-
cations made pubic.
THE reason why | was able to predict
the appearance of the e%arthquake," he
says, was that | have made a close study
of mundane anatomy. The interior or
the earth is filled with a molten mass,
subject TO ehb and flow just like the wa
tiers of the ocean. Between the surface
of the earth and this molten mass, which
is slowly cooling. there is nothing more
than a shell that does not average more
than eighteen miles IN thickness. In
some places il is thinner than in others
and from these places the confined forces
escape in the form of gas. If no such
outlet is found the Influence of the moon
is such that a tidal wave sweeps round
the inner crust of the earth and 1t is this
that produces the terrible phenomena
that is popularity known as the earth
quake
Such scientific arguments are impress
s;ve and when men of the standing Of
Professor Falb commence to predict the
end Of the world it IS not strange that
timid people tremhie. In spite of this,
however. there seems TO hs no reason why
his prophecy should cause alarm and
Professor Falb will probably go down
into history as another one of the many
prophets of evil whose predictions have
come to nauEht.

that he preferred to speak of the results
of the earthquake after it had occurred
rather than be subjected to its %unpleas-
ant features.
The earthquake came as Professor
Fab predicted and when anuar and
February We're conspicuous for their
cold and the papers of March contained
details of earthquakes more Than one
person began to believe that the end of
this globe as an inhabitable planet was
actually in prospect. Up to the present
time. however. this has been the limit of
the professors prediction. There We're
no tidal waves in July and August. the
coast Of America is stjll intact and nei-
their Florida nor California rave yet be-
come islands.
AS the result one has some reason to
hope that the most uncomfortable part
of Professor Falhs prediction VIII be
carried out in the same manner for one
does not like TO think of the end Of the
old earth going to snaS and in the man
ner that the Austrian has
predicted. He is of the opinion that the
meteoric display that is to occur on No
vember Is and IA. Is nothing more than
the appearance of the army of meteors
that the Biela's comet. In
stead of passing by us in grand array the
comet itself Will collide with the earth
and on this occasion, by a mixture of the
gases of the comet and the earth. a IL
quid Will result that will be similar to
benZine or Qetfoleum ana t VIII DE the
province of this liquid to first soak and
then burn the earth and everything upon
il.
Unpleasant as such a prophecy may
seem there is some comfort in the thought
tina this is not the first time that this
comet has been expected to bring the
earth to an untlmely end. Years ago
il was predicted that It was 10 come into
collision with the earth and there were
those who were so foolish as to prepare
for the general destruction.
So far as we are concerned the history
Of this comet dates back to February -,
1926, when NJ. Biela, an astronomer
working in Bohemia, discovered a faint
comet whose orbit, or path around the
sun vas calculated to take about six and
three-quarters years. Early IN 1923 at

comet was soon to pass within 2o,o0O

COFFEE DRINK RS.

The question of coffee drinking being
injurious is agitated for every now AMI
again: then the agitation subsidies, and
people go on drinking it.
According to the best authorities, coffee
taken in moderation is not only HARM
less, but highly beneficial. Its value as a
stimulant has always been recognized,
and the fact that it is so highly priced as
a beverage. if there We're no other reason,
would sc far to prove that it has a | power
full influence on the nervous system.
The action impaired to the nerves,
however. is natural and healthy, and
habituat coffee drinkers generally enjoy
good health and live to a good old age.
For brain workers its value cannot he
overestimated. 1t has been called the
mental BEVERAGE ana, unlike alcoho1,
the gentle eXhiialation it produces is not

causes contentntIt of mind, allays hum

the capacity for work.
The mental eXhilaratiOn and physical
activity it causes explains the fondnesS

scientists, poets, scholars and others de-
voted to thought. Its effect on the mag
nation is remarkable, without causing
any subsequent depression, as in the case
of narcotics. BalZac, the great French
novelist, declared hat he could not have
written the 'Comedie humane" without
its aid.
