Dog That Came Home.

An Omaha dispatch says that a New
'oundIand dog, taken from Omaha to
Portland, Oregon. when his owners
moved there year ago, has returned
To his old home. His blistered feet
ana shaggy coat are sufficient evidence
that a large part of the 500 miles was
covered on foot. A letter Of inquiry
about the animal was received from
Jerry Sullivan, his owner, in Portland,
two months ago.
It seems the dog never liked his new
home and showed every symptom Of
hOmesickness refusing to eat and los
ing all his playfuness The dog was
plainly disappointed at finding strang-
ers at the old home. He is now cared
for by neighbors. The trip occupied
six months.

Cstarrh OF the Kidneys a Common
Disease - Kidney Trouble Often
Fails to Be Regarded as Catarrh by
Physicians.

Catarrh of the kidneys is very com
mon indeed. 1t is Il pity this fact is not
better known to the physicians as well
as the people.
People have kidney disease. They
take some diuretic, hoping to get better.
They never once think of catarrh. Kid
ney disease and catarrh are seldom as
sociatcd in the minds of the people,
and, alas. it is not very often associated
in the minds of the physicians. Too
few physicians recognize catarrh of the
kidneys. They doctor for something
else. They try this remedy and that
