Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
overworking in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.

but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin

What do the Children Drink?

Don't give them tea or coffee. Have

As long ago as the beginning OF the

the thread that the spider spins from

unwrapped from the cocoon of the
silk worm was preached. but with lit

Mr.. Rolt, secured 10000 feet OF silk
thread from twenty-five spider In two

been conducted by curious persons 20

best and largest quantity OF silk, for
II has been demonstrated that II Is an
excellent substitute for that OF the silk

In February and March more genu-

enough. 1t would scarcely seem that
living water is beneath. and It is even
harder to imagine that animal life Is
actually comfortably tucked away
under that icy cover. Where do you
suppose the frogs have gone for the
winter? They have soft, smooth
skinned bodies that would freeze to
death If exposed to the open-air tenn

Fahrenheit. In pond, Just as in your
bathtub, the water on top is the
warmer and the water at the bottom
the colder. The reason Is that warm
water is expanded, and Is lighter than
cold, so that it rises to the surface.
while cold water, which is contracted
is heavier and sinks to the bottom. But
as water freezes 1t begins again To ex-
pand, and that is why ice IS lighter
than water. The water under ice
forms a layer about four or five do
grees above the freezing point. and the
animals sleeping there through the
winter are sheltered in 1t. There they
live and sleep until the spring gun
wakens them, and there they ara
