with kidney complaint while living at
Billings. Mo, and was advised to come
to California. in the hope that change
Of climate might help her. but this it
failed to do, as she was confined to her

finally told her they could do nothing
for her.
It was then she began to use Peruna,
and had improved SO much within few
months that on April Sth last she rode
seven miles to Los Angeles, spent the
forenoon on a shopping tour. and atnoon
tripped up a long flight of stairs to have
her photograph taken. Her letter reads

Kidney Trouble in October.

Look ont for kidney trouble in Octo-
Der. The heat OF summer is past. The
activity of skin perspiration has ceased
During the hot months a great portion
Of the blood po.Aons have been elImi-
mated through the skin by sweating.
In October the cold days and nights
put an end to this and throws the whole
responsibility upon the Kidneys The
kidneys are obliged to do an extra
amount of work This is very likely to
lead to kidney diseases.
More cases of kidney disease orisi-

months in the year. Catarrh of the kid

would not be further tolerated, and that
the police in the building had been in
structed to put persons so offending, out
Of the building. This was received with
the audiences approval, and had its effect
upon the crowd, which was afterwards
less demonstrative.
Sam Nelson, of Manchester, was cas-
lily the star of the pony performance,
which was the uproariouS event of the
night. Sam Nelson, who has middle
name. but couldn't talkit to the judges,
made his initial entrance into fame upon
Don, the little black stallion. thirty
four inches high, brought over from Pc
tersburg by Nlr. Duncan Wright. Things
happened fast for Sam Nelson through
the twenty minutes he was on the tan
bark. Don didn't behave the best in
the world for the nice little pony he
should have been, but this only made
SANS eyes grow larger and the crowd
laugh the more.
AS a grand final after he had been
covered up with the fourth ribbon he
became so elated over the honor just
pinned or him that he forgot entirely
the presence of Sam Nelson on his back,
and ran away, leaving Sam face fore
most in the tan bark. a little thing like

was placed astride the charger.
Before Sam Nelson, who had entered
the ring an unknown citizen of the
Southside had made his exit. he was
first and foremost in the eyes of the
great people. For his skill and expert
Workmanship. Sam was made in the
presence of the throng an honorary
president of the Richmond Horse
Show Association. and the badge of that
office was bestowed upon him. This
honor was conferred by Major Otway
S. Allen. who had been an interested
spectator Of the Don-Sam performance
from his box on the west of the ring.
While the audience had only eyes for
Don. the judges had a task deciding
between a class of the prettiest ponies

There was also great deal OF IN
tcrest and expectancy In the champion
harness horse class. It IVES expected
that several horses would enter for
this. but owing partly to the Withdraw
al Of the Mountain View Farm horses
from the cxhib3i!on. there we're only
two, these being the stallion Russell
Rex. and Lady Wootton, the George
w. Childs Dre1el mare. These two
horses were put through their PAGES
and sent around the ring repeatedly

One OF the pleasing features OF the
show last night was the cordial recep-
ton given to Mr.. and Mrs. Allen Potts
when they entered the show ring in this
class. Mr.. 1oott. had put himself square
ly on record as opposed TO Kissing, and
had delivered curtain lecture to the
public generally. and last night when
he and his wife came on, he in the

almost an ovation for him The major

him in his stand. and took this occa-
sion to show their appreciation.
