Why Liquid Kidney
Remedies Fail.
Alcohol NeutraIiZes All
Effects of Drugs.
Kidney-Wort Tablets Cure-Con-
tain No Alcohol.

Plenty of people know that alcohol is
the worst thing they can take when
their kidneys are disordered, yet they
swallow large quantities of the cheapest
possible alcohol without being aware of
it when they take liquid kidney
remedies.
Alcohol is used in large proportion in
liquid kidney remedies to enable them
to keep.
Besides the direct harm to the kidneys
from alcohol, any good effect the
remedy may have is neutralized, making
the liquid kidney remedy useless and
harmful.
The following letter from f. NJ
Montague, who had tried two of these
liquid kidney remedies and received no
benefit. and who then took Kidney
Wort Tablets "A specific for the kidneys
that contains no alcohol, shows the
inestimable superiority of kidney
remedy that requires no alcohol over
those that will not keep without it.
Lowell, Fla. April s. 1908.
WELLS q RICHARDSON Co.,
Gentlemen:-I have used four bottles
of DIR. Pettingill's Kidney-Wort Tablets,
and can positively say that the Tablets
have been a decided help to me. Mine
is an old case that two physicians pre-
scribed for without any good results,
and two popular remedies failed entirely
to relieve. The tablets have diminished
the quantity of urine one-half, and there
is no sediment, or very little that | can
see. Formerly had to be up from six
to eight times at night, but now | enjoy
undisturbed sleep.
Very truly yours.
f. NJ. MONTAGUE
Many business man sitting at his
desk is seized with a sharp pain that
nearly doubles him up He has to
break off conversation and rush to the
urinal for relief. Only a few trickling
drops with some red sandy sediment
rewards his efforts, and that scalds him
as it passes. The remedy that exactly
fits such a case is DR.. Pettingill's Kidney
Wort Tablets. The specific will cure the
worst case of gravel" or "stone" and
put the kidneys into a healthy, normal
condition. so that there will he no re-
curence of the trouble.
DIR. Pettingill's Kidney-Wort Tablets
will cure every form of kidney disease.
This test tells:--
Let your morning ,urine stand for
twenty-four hours in glass. Then if
it is milky or cloudy or contains O.
reddish. brick-dust sediment, or if
particles or germs float about in it, your
kidneys are diseased, and you need

man-toward him she rode. AS she
her eyes frightened. Once she stopped
and turned as if to leave him. Then
he came close to her.
ooh, Mr.. Mason, what shall I do?''
Frank Mason, the handsome ranch
superintendent, scarcely recognized
her, bowling so slightly that it seemed
to be merely the motion of his horse.
What is the matter, madam"
Don't be mean"-the girls eyes
were beseeching.
But you told me never to speak to
you again-only this morning"
Eyes, know, but you see how it is

evening and here l am"
1T does look serious, doesn't it?
Where do they think you are?"
''They don't think. Aunty's prob

until midnight-the others think I'm

ranch to take care of you. | suppose
they will come back tomorrow any
how"
Tomorrow" The girl fairly
screeched the word. I'VE must get
them now-to-night, don't you under
stand-nowi"
But it is so miles to the next tele-
graph station-how can the engineer
get orders?"
He looked toward the train, which
was disappearing in cut between
some creek bluffs mile or two below
the station.
you see, it's New Years day and
everybody but the stable boys and sta
ton agent has gone to the county seat
to celebration. There's a dance to-
night, so they won't be home-yes, it is
serious"
Their horses were moving slowly
toward the station, yet long distance
away. They were talking earnestly
and did not notice the curious move
ments of herd of cattle that had
strayed from the grasslands toward
the station and now, hundreds and
hundreds of them, were pushing close
to the two figures. The girls bright
jacket and the flashing red of the cap
that topped her brown curls may have
caused their exceeding interest. When

huge fellow trotted in front of her
weary horse, the girl stared about her
in alarm.
ooh, Franklin. Mason-look!"
The young ranchman seemed much
excited. Hurry" he exclaimed, and
urged his horse into run. She can
tered by his side, alarmed by the
strange apparition of the herd, which
it seemed had risen out of the sod.
The ranchman saw something else
that the girl did not-a cluster of
earth mounds thrown up in the level
of the plain, the work of prairie dogs
or some other borrowers of the plains
Before he could caution the girl, her
horse stumbled, fell, staggered, went
tumbling in a heap with broken leg.
Now it was serious. The cattle,
more curious than ever, scampered
faster toward the object of their in
terest; the fallen horse plunged and
snorted; the skirts of it's rider held
her prisoner.
In an instant Mason was by her side,
Juggling at the fair burden. When she
was free he found her helpless from

he lifted her in his arms and to his
own saddle Then jumping beside her

his revolver and shot unerringly the

Their Weu Years
Dinner

800 you went to Isabel's New
y Years dinner?" said the bru-
nette. Lucky you! Tom and
l dine with his mother on the first day
of each year, listening to a discourse
on economy which lasts from oysters
to coffee"
Knowing that all your bills will be
the blonde. Yes, we accepted Isa-
bells invitation, and"
How do you like IsabeIs new
dress? Is it as cold as"
''Her reception of a tardy guest? Not
quite. l was ready at only ten min
utes after the last moment at which
we could safely start-and if that is
not being punctual, I'd like to know
what is! Eleven sharp!' Jack called
to the driver, and then l looked up to
see-Isabel's old housed"
when the dinner was given to dis
play the new one?"
Exactly. After running a block
through the snow in his thin shoes and
nearly being arrested as an escaping
thief, Jack got the driver to return.
Once inside, he declared 1 hadn't told
him Isabel had moved"
Because he had kept on reading his
paper while you told him about it,"
Eyes. l had even told him how the
bathroom was tiled. But, dear, had
forgotten whether the new number
was $50 or $3.50"
What on earth
Jack threatened to go home and get
dinner on the chatting dish-the cook
had holiday. Then l remembered
thoughtfully writing out the address
while Mae and l discussed that new
dressmaker, and putting it in Jacks
waistcoat pocket, because l am SO for
getful"
How thoughtful
Jack gave the slip to the driver and
promised him something awful to
drive fast"

but to fail, and yet his very efforts to
do right Will be counted to him for
righteousness.
The objection is, if it can be called
an objection, that men are too much
influenced by special occasions for
special efforts There is no more VII
tue in New Years Day than there is in
All FOOLS Day. 1t would seem fool
ishness to wait for any such time or
season for starting period in right
living. The present is the time for
action, and one day is as good as an
other in the sight of God, as well as
of men.
But the man who has put off the day
of resolves to be good until the dawn
of the new year will strengthen him
self and work righteousness by start
ing out clean with the year. He will
only hurt himself by devoting too
much time to resolving. What he
most needs is to avoid the pitfalls and
snares which formerly overcame him.
He has need to change resolves into
action. 1t is his duty to retrospect
in order to know himself Each con-
quest of self is added strength for fu-
ture Victories
Happy indeed is that New Years for
the man who, having resolved in it's
dawn to do right, finds at its cleaning
that he has been true to his promises.

A. Story of the Great Southwest

IREAT clouds of yellow dust, a
NJ dazzling blue sky, sweeping
winds. long reaches of level
Landslide midwinter southwest, and
on the siding the palatial train of the
cattle king who was now off among
the ranches looking after sleek and
well-bred herds.
The cattle kings daughter, whose
prospective wealth entitled her to the
rank of princess, sat under the striped
awning on the rear platform of the
train, gazing YEARLY at the monot-
onous landscape.
How long are we to stay here?''
she demanded of the porter who was
industriously trying to keep the leath-
er-covered chairs clean. He did not
answer-he did not know. She went
back to the parlor of the other private
car and accosted the quiet woman who
sat by the window sewing. ''Auntie
how long is this to last?"
Until your father gets back OF
there are orders"
I'm tired of it-I'm going out OF
DOORS"
She seized jacket and cap, slipped
down the side steps and disappeared
behind the squalid depot. A dilapi-
dated livery stable stood in the sun
shine. Il want riding horse-quick!'
The man fairly trembled in his anx-
iety to serve the city girl, and il a
moment she was cantering over the
sand and sage brush, headed straight
for the green hills in the distance
Away and away she sped, delighting
in the free rush of the wind, the swish
of her pony's hoofs through the grass
and the eXhilaration of the open lands
At last she turned the horses head
where was the station? Nothing but
rolling plain, not shining with sun
light, but dampened by shadow. With
little cry of terror she sent her
mount racing ahead and strained her
eyes for the engine smoke on the
horizon.

nobody ever expected it to keep time.

Yes: In my haste l did my hair

ourselves with overdone steak. The
cabman, who had arrived at $50
sharp, demanded full pay for the time
he had waited, else he'd deduct from

the broad and dusty plain.
Arrived there, he lifted her gently to
one Of the benches which stood in the
tiny waiting-room; he transformed it
into a settee with blankets from the
livery stable; he heard with pleasure
her words of satisfaction.
THAT pin you wear-where did you

patronized and made fun of as he came
to the train day after day to see her
father. She had been amused by his
assurance and had quarreled with him
that very morning. Now she was at

pleasant.
