story about a "call-downr one of his
friends received at the hands of a
Kansas farmer some years ago. The
senator was speeding through Kan
sas on return trip from California,
where he has immense timber inter-
ests. Seated with him was a friend
from Michigan, and as they passed
through Kansas a prosperous farmer
came into the car and took a seat just
opposite them.
The senator and his friend were
discussing the relative value of Mich
igan and Kansas lands when the for
mer said Il think that is a mighty
good farm" and he pointed out the
window at typical Sunfower planta-
t;cn.
1T may be good enough said Sen
ator Alger's friend, but | wouldn't

The Kansas farmer. who had been
listening to the conversation, said,
addressing Alger's companion:

the farmer, who had been stung by
the slight on Kansas, that you are

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible
for many kinds of diseases, and if permitted to
continue much suffering and fatal results are
cure to fOlloto. Kidney trouble irritates the
nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless and
irritable Makes you pass water often during
the day and obliges you to get up many times
during the night. Unhealthy kidneys cause
rheumatism, gravel, catarrh Of the bladder, pain
or dull ache in the back, joints and muscles;
make your head ache and back ache, cause indi-
gestion, stomach and liver trouble, you get a
sallow, yellow complexion, make you feel as
though you had heart trouble; you may have
plenty of ambition, but no strength; get weak
and waste away.
The cure for these troubles is DIR. Kilmer's
