fered for q number of years with
kidney complaint. There was a dull
aching across the small of my back

feel miserable al tie time. The kidney
secretions were dark and full CT sedi-
ment, and lack OF control compelled
me to rise a number Of times during
the night. Between this annoyance
and the backacEe it was Impossible
for me to get mich sleep and my
health was being undermined. l tried
a number of remedies, but nothing
helped me until l got Doan's Kidney
Pills. The use Of this remedy accord

Late Summer Millinery.

Hats continue to be Of the pictur-
esque type, with sweeping plumes, far
ing brims and high bandeaux, giving
a very pretty effect for the suitry
summer days. In spite of the summer
humidity, feathers are a favorite
hat trimming. There are var
ious ways of arranging the rich
plumes, the most stylish, perhaps, be-
ing the three short or medium length
plumes in Prince Of Wales fashion,
though the long feather sweeping
around the hat, the end falling over at
the back, is much in evidence. All
shapes can be fashioned of the new
strawS, which are so soft and pliable
that frills, pleating and in fact all the
manipulations of the modiste are cop
led in them. The lingerie hats, which
are so like children'S headgear, have
established themselves for summer, to
be worn with the dainty orgaAdie,
sheer lawn or null frock. All the thin,
gauzy fabrics. and even soft silks and
satins, are used for these simple mod
els. For midsummer outings there

Life without Any Waste.

In the Rocky Mountain gold fields is a
mine without a dump, writes Rev; K.
Scott Stevenson, in the New York Obser-
YER. Father and son opened a vein of ore,
and with some reward for their labors toi-
lowed it back into the mountain until at
the end of sixty feet the Gre failed. One
day when they were looking over the desc,
fortune the son said to his father: ,
"We'll try again. It looks like fire had
burned off a great pillar of gold, and when
it fell it broke in two, and what We've
dug out was the upper end showed down
They climbed up 200 feet further, dug
down and found the original vein, which
proved so rich and pure that no dump was
needed, for there was no waste. A lite OF
conservation is a life without waste. God
can use all such a life brings to Him.
Every word spoken in His fear, every act
performed in the consciousness of His eye
upon you, every service rendered willing.
". He treasures and rewards: A life Of
real conservation is so near to God 1t finds
and brings to Him only such gifts and GER
vices as He is willing to receive and bless.
