Kidney Troubles in October.

Look out for kidney trouble in October. The heat of summer is past. The activity of skin precipitation has ceased. During the hot months a great portion of the blood poisons have been eliminated through the skin by sweating.
 In October the ncold days and nights put amend 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 originate in October than all the other months in the year. Catarrh of the kidneys is very apt to set in when free perspiration of the skin is stopped. short course of Peruna is very desirable to prevent this. At least those who have experienced any warning symptoms of kidney disease should begin Peruna without delay.

Mere Opinion.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
 The varnish is soon worn from the rail- ing in front of the bar, but church pews seldom need repairing.
 A bad man gets vast credit for doing a good thing which nobody would have noticed if the doer had been decent.
 When a baby girl is born she at once begins to yell for clothes, and she never gets over the habit. E
 When man has difficulty in finding a chance to propose he can make up his mind that the girl doesn't want him.
 The business instinct frequently takes the form of an easy conscience.

 She was an amateur artist, and like most of her kind. considered herself sev- eral laps in advance of the average anna teur. She was eager, however. to know how her work would impress one of the masters who had managed to grasp fickle fame by the back of the neck.
 One day real painter called at her home, and she immediately conceived the idea of testing him. She would show him a speciman of ner handiwork, but would reveal nothing that might lead him to suspect her as being the creator thereof So the fair amateur proceeded to guide the real painter toward --er masterpiece
 ''Of what school would you call this painting?' she asked, expectantly.
 "Of the boarding school" promptly re piled the real painter.

The Newer Prison Idea.

From the Des Moines Register and Leao-
 CT.
 Newgate, happily, is one of the few surviving prisons of the olden time, and now it, too, is to disappear. It is long and dreary way between these prisons of the olden time and those of today, in which punishment is based on the ideas of public safety and the cure of cer tam moral obliquities, for which it is held the individual is not wholly responss- ble. The old prisons were starting places for the guillotine and the gallows the new are sought to be made a starting place for a better fife.

night to mar the pleasure of the
company, who enjoyed themselves
hugely, judging by the hum of con-

relish with which they entered into
the dance.

into an adjoining room where was
