"Never! There Is no such thing.

nothing in reply. Neither did he pro-

the committee were seated, he looked
them over and mentally rejoiced that
Mrs. Bowscr had not caught sight OF
them. Then he said:

PLACE FOR HIM

J. c. Rains, a passenger on the
America Maru, was a resident of Ho-
noluIu for about eight months, during
which time he was actively engaged In
real estate transactions. For the past
seven months he has been in Manila,
where he had secured large concessions
for government work, including the
right to the use of the Marivales quar-
ries. He was interested in the con-
tract for the construction of the new
Manila breakwater, but owing to suit
instituted over the title to the quar-
ries, he sold ont his interest in the
contract and decided to return to the
United States.
Mr.. Rains says that money is to be
made in Manila, and that the opportu-
mites for laying the foundation for
fortune are not all taken up. But
against the faculty for making money
the cost of living there has to be taken
into consideration. A professional
man. he states, is compelled to earn at
least 5000 a month Mexican, which IS
about $500 month in United States
gold coin, on which to live. The cost
of living has gone upward at rapid
gait. and unless a man is well equip
ped to meet his living expenses, II
were best for him to leave or keep
away from the city.
w. f. Ford, a young attorney from
Salt Lake City, Utah, who went 10 the
philippines on the last trip of the
steamship Peru to the Orient, spent a
little more than two weeks In the capt
tai city, and is now returning home
on the America Maru, disguised with
everything in Manila.
THE cost of living is something ap-
palling. To live at the only notei
there-the Oriente-one has to put up
| 81 a day Mexican, in return for Which
| he receives practically nothing. EF-
arvthing IS high; rents are way up

When you work too hard what fol-

You stoop over at some occupation.
You strain yourself lifting.
You walk too far, or ride too far.
You call this overexertion. You
cannot sleep when night comes.
Your back aches, your head aches,
often you ache all over.
Oh, you say it's because I'm tired
out.
Now this isn't right. It's because
your kidneys are tired.
They can only do just SO much, and
the lifting, STOPPING or straining has
retarded their action.
The heart has pumped the blood in
to them faster than they could filter 1t.
The filter is overtaxed and becomes
clogged.
They cry for assistance In the many
aches that follow.
Nothing starts the kidneys working

We say so, and people right here in
