Here is a story of President Lincoln.
and if comes from the late Judge Carter,
who was a member of Congress from
Cleveland during the war and one of
Mr. Lincolns most intimate friends, says
the Omaha Bee. 1t relates to Quaker
philanthropist from Philadelphia, who
did not have hair on his head, but took
great interest in public affairs and was
constantly calling at the white house III
behalf of somebody OF other who hap
pened to be III trouble and took up a
great deal of Mr.. Lincoln's time. The
President treated him with great cour-
teSy, although his patience was frequent
ly tried. One day when the philanthro-
pist was particularly verbose and per
sistent and refused to depart. although
he knew that important delegations were
waiting, Mr.. Lincoln suddenly arose,
walked over to a wardrobe in the corner
of the cabinet chamber and took a bottle
from shelf. Handing it to his visitor,
he remarked:
Did you ever use this stuff on your
head?"
mo, sir; 1 never did,
''Well," remarked Mr. Lincoln, 81 adj
wise you to try it and if at first you don't
thing to make your hair grow. Take this
bottle with you and come back in six
months and tell me how it works"
The astonished philanthropist covered
his polished pate with his broad-brimmed
hat and left the room, while Judge Car
ter, coming in with the next delegation,
found the President over in the corner,
doubled up with laughter at the success
of his strategy, and before he could pro-
coed to business the story had to be told.

And q lovely meal they made.

And mamma she went with him

ran the machine out to the curb, got on it
and rode off.

whether the fifty was counterfeit or the

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and
Don't Know 1t.

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so de-
ceptive. Many sudden deaths are
caused by it-heart disease, pneumonia,
heart failure, or appOlexy are often the
result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble
is allowed to advance the kidney poison
in the blood is apt to attack the vital
organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and vast away cell by
cell. Then the richness of the blood
the albumen-leaks out and the suffer-
er has Bright's disease, the worst form
of kidney trouble. Kidney trouble can
be detected although it be slow and
deceptive. First by analysis of the
urin; second, by the simple test of set
ting the urine aside in glass or bottle
for twenty-fOur hours, when a cloudy
or brick dust settling indicates it.
1t was for just such troubles that His
infinite power and goodness the Great
Physician caused Swamp-Root to grow
for the benefit of suffering mankind,
leaving it for His servent, DR.. Kilmer,
the great kidney and bladder specialist
to discover it and make it known to the
world. Its wonderful efficacy in
promptly curing the most distressing
cases is truly marvellous. You may

The latest success in the medical line
was accomplished in Chicago a few
days ago, it being the photographing
of mans stomach. The apparatus
used in taking the picture consists of
rubber tube one-eighth of an inch in
diameter and about three feet long.
At the end of the tube is rubber bulb,
the walls of which are as thin as it Is
possible to make them, giving the bib,
when inflated, the appearance of toy
balloon. The interior of the bulb is
coated with photograph emulsion and
acts as plate on which the picture is
taken. The patient is made to swallow
the bulb, which is then inflated by
means of air blown into the bulb until
it entirely fills the stomach, its flexible
sides conforming to the walls of the
stomach. An X-ray exposure is then
made, the tube is withdrawn and the
picture on the thin rubber bulb is
developed as an ordinary X-ray photo
graph.

Where it is that my baby's gone!

His hair was as soft as yellow silk.
And his eyes were like violets blue.
His little hands were like pink tipped flowers
See yours strong and brown.
He has slipped away and is lost fear.
Do you know where my baby's gone2"
Did my voice half break as the thoughts would
come
OF the sweet and sacred days
When motherhood's first joys were mine?
Was a shade of regret on my facet
For close round my neck crept a sturdy arm.
And the boy who is "half past three"
Said 'The baby-he went to Boyland,
And-didn't you knowP-he's me!''
