Nellie Melba has been snubbed by the
Melbourne Chamber of Commerce, which
thanked her very kindly for her offer to
raise funds for those who are suffering
from the effects Of the drought in Australia
and incidentally requested her to mind her
own business.
The return OF the prlma donna to her
native land is not always a source Of up-
aloyed deli ht. however eminent she may

Australia has had several disagreeable
results. She was not, in the first place.

to inconvenience herself to the extent OF
taking the long trip. There was little
chance of great profit there, u the visit
had to be made at least once; 50 Mme. Melba

that she has ever received in Poland.

of these appearances to charity, But

Prevention Of Curelty to Animals, especially
that wing Of it which attends TO the pro-

If YOU HAVE PAIN IN YOUR BACK
Do Not Be Deceived. You Have Kid
ney Trouble, and You Do Not
Need a Physician TO Tell
You So.

Let us give you a piece of advice:
Pain in the back is an almost infallible
sign of kidney disease; a surer sign is
the condition of your urine. If you
have pain in the back then look to
the condition of your urine. 1t is easily
done Take a glass tumbler and fill
1t with urine; after it has stood "a
hours. if 1t has a sediment, if it is
milky or cloudy, if it is pale OF disOl-
ored, stringy or ropy. your kidneys ana
bladder are in dangerous condition and
need immediate attention, OF the con-
sequences may prove fatal
DR.. David Kennedy's Favorite Rem
edy is the one medicine that really
cures all diseases of the kidneys, liver
bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspep-
STA and chronic constipa ton, and it will
take you but a short trial to convince
yourself of its wonderful curative
power.
G. T. Sammer of No. 400 Tioga street,
Syracuse, n. Y, in a recent letter says:
II was afflicted for years with
severe pains in my back and kid
neys. / tried many doctors and
