1t is a saying grown gray with age that
no man knows his bitterest enemies until
he become a candidate for office. He is
then regarded as public property and
made the target for the passion, preJu-

pecuniary interests lie in the direction of
| his defeat. Though he may be as pure in
! thought, word and deed as the angels of

against whom the baser passions or I'M

1t is the penalty ambition pays, and the
loftier it is, the bitterer and more intense
is the expression. This should not be, but

The way to be well is to pay attention
to your kidneys.
They are the most important organs Of
the body-the blood filters
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the i'm
purtie5 in the biood-that is their work.
Purifying your blood is not d question Of
taking a laxative or physiC.
Does your blood run through your bow
els?
What the bowel cleaner does is to throw
out the poisons confined in your bowels
ready for absorption into your blood. but
the po!sous which are already in your
blood, causing you present sickness it
leaves there.
There is no other way OF purifying your
blood except by means OF your kidneys.
That is why bowel cleaners fail to do
their woTk-they forget the kidneys.
When you are sick, then. no matter what
you think the name of your disease is. the
first thing you should do is TO AFFORD aid
TO your kidneys by using DR.. Kilmer's
