with winter wheat, and a crop of 10000
bushels. Only twelve Of the forty-slx

WEAKNESS OF HUMAN NATURE
According to the Idea of an Insur-
ance Agent Who Was Inter-
ested in the Fire.

tTalk about the frailties of human ma
ture," said well-known insurance agent the
other day, relates the Kansas City Journal,
mo one else has SO good an opportunity to
discover them as an insurance man. An IN
cident occurred few days ago that showed
me side of neighbours character which
I had never suspected to exist. A fire broke
out in his home, and, do you know, that
man went three blocks to telephone to re-
port it, when there was phone right in his
house.
'sI saw the fire soon after it started, and
rushed to give assistance. 1t was while help
ing to pack the things out that discovered
the phone, and turned in the alarm. Now,
it takes a strong stretch of the Imagination
to believe that the owner had forgotten
there was telephone in his house. That he
should have acted as he did undermines
ones faith in people in general.
"Think of it. There [ was sweating and
endangering my life to save his property,
while he was anxious, evidently, to have it
burn. Such conduct doesn't encourage one
to exert himself for others"
"By the way" interrupted listener, "did
any of your companies hold policy on that
house?"
"Now, you are asking leading question:"
replied the insurance man, with guleless
smile. "What / am saying is that the ac-
tons of that man are sad commentary on
human nature"

Bladder Troubles.

The urinary organs are probably the
most important part of the sewage sys-
tenn in the human body. It is their duty
to carry off the poisonous matter that
the kidneys separate from the blood. 1t
is an absolute necessity that the urinary
organs be kept in good condition if they
are to carry off all the poisons passed
them by the kidneys. Generally speak
ing, the kidneys cause all troubles in the
urinary organs. When the kidneys get
weak or diseased they cannot properly
dothe work assigned them, and as con-
sequence they allow poisonous matter
to flow back into the system and cause
disease and DEATH BY strengthening
the kidneys and making them do their
work promptly and thoroughly all these
ills are avoided. All people who have
used MorroW's Kid-ne-oids for diseases
OF the urinary organs are unanimous in
stating that they can find no other rem
edy equal to them.
