AN EVERYDAY STRUGGLE

Men and women OF every occupation
overtax the kidneys and suffer daily
miseries when the kidneys begin to
fail.
ANY work that is a constant strain on
the back is bound to hurt the kidneys.
The lifting, digging and planting OF
farm work, the constant bending over a
desk or sitting at a sewing machine,
working for hours on Earring, jolting
wagons or railroad trains; the stopped
positions and the reaching, pulling
and heavy lifting of a hundred differ
ent trades-all these are hard on the
back and must wear, weaken and In
jure the kidneys, because the kidneys
are in the very part OF the back that
feels the strain, When the kidneys are
sick every exertion sends a sharp,
singing pain through the back or
loins, and you are weary and tired all
the time.
Many tasks, like homework, that do
not require great physical strength are
very trying on the back and kidneys.
That is why baekache is so common.
| That is why so many women are un-
naturally weak and tired and Sleep
less.

An Expert on Poison.

Prof. Robert ogden Doremus the noted
chemist who died in New York a short
time ago. aged SO years, was a we'll known
expert on the effects of poison. Prof.
Doremus had been connected with the
New York college and the College OF the
City Of New York, as instructor in chem
istry, for nearly sixty years. and for
more than forty-five years he had occu-
pied the chair of chemistry in the Bellevue
Hospital Medical college. He equipped the
first laboratory in the United States for
instructing medical students in analytical
chemistry. At least 5000 young men have
been his students. It was he who first
showed the great practical value of chem
istry in criminal cases. For thirty years
he made analyses for coroners and district
attorneys in the most important cases, and

Timely and Tersely Told Tales

and they have decided to "cail Il on for

The chief bar to the marriage was that
this strangely assorted couple we're unable
to find a minister to marry them. Miss
Arnold insisted that the ceremony be per-
formed by an Episcopalian minister. and no
minister Of that denomination could be
found who would unite them. Parson T. A.
Uzzei who has married many queer
couples before. at FIRST announced his will
llngness to tie the knot but later recon-
sldered and said that he could not be a
party to such a marriage.
The same disappointment confronted them
IN Santa Fe. where they recently sought a
minister to marry them.
Feeling that any further attempt to find
a willing minister would be vain. the couple
decided to give up the thought Of marriage.
The two have expected some day to be
married ever since they met in City Park,
Denver. eight years ago. Tragedy and dis
appointment have followed the two during
all that time.
Two years ago when the marriage was
about to be performed a tragedy occurred
which put an end TO the plans for the time.
Mrs. Senter, at whose house the couple
used TO meet, was shot and killed by Frank
G. senter her husband, who then COM
mitted suicide.
Last year, when they were almost ready
10 be married. Miss Arnold's stepfather,
Frank Wilder. committed suicide by jump
ing from a steamer into the Gulf OF Mexico.
He was violently opposed TO the marriage.
Last week Miss Arnold determined TO
oring the engagement to an end by marry
ing Chavarria. She went to Santa Clara
Pueblo and for some weeks resided at Es-
pamela, a town near by. Failing to find
anyone there to marry them the two went

saving Waste by EIectricIty.

Writing on the electrical methods for
saving the wastes the electrical Review
makes the following pertinent remarks:
"Never before has 50 much attention been
given 10 ways and means Of reducing the
losses In Industrial works Of all kinds
Not only is the operating machinery care
fully studied for opportunities OF saving
energy. but the methods OF doing work
are examined so as 20 detect wasted time.
and the cost OF apparatus Is compared
with the savings secured through it, In
order that that solution which is the
cheapest In the end may be adopted. Shop
methods are being systematized and more
expensive machinery is being Installed so
as 20 increase the efficiency OF the estab-
ishment as a whole. and thus reduce the
cost OF working. either by cutting down
the total expense or by increasing the
output for a given operating cost. Some
times gains are made In both directions.
In this important development, electrical
methods are playing a large part. The
power-prOducing part OF an establishment,
by adopting electrical transmission, can
be concentrated az one point, as Il should
be for the most efficient working. The

Edward standwoods new biography OF
James G. Blaine says: THE few glimpses
we get OF him at this, the schoolboy period
Of his life, not only suggest the future
politician; they show in something like
maturity the traits for which he was
afterward famous. He knew every boy
in school by name. Perhaps there was no
accomplishment which more endeared him
to casual acquaintances of the first meet
ing.
His reputation in this respect some
times led people to expect too much" the
same account continues, HE himself re-
lated that he was accosted at a town in
Ohio, after one of his meetings. in the
travelling canvass Of 1884, by man who
referred to his memory for faces, and
asked If Mr.. Blaine remembered him.
Evidently Blaine did not, but before his
tongue made the confession already ap-
parent on his face the man said with I'M
concealed disappointment: Why, 1 was
in the crowd at the station when you
passed through here in 1876, and stood
right before you"

why Editors Are wealthy.

A Kansas editor eases his feelings in this
style: "A child is born in the neighbor-
hood; the attending physician gets $40.
The editor gives the loud-mouthed young
ster and the happy parents a send-off and
gets so. When 1t is christened the minister
gets SO, the editor gets 800 1t grows up
and marries. The editor publishes another
long winded article and tells a dozen lies
about the beautiful and accomplished

cake and the editor gets 5000. In the course
OF time It dies. The doctor gets from SOS
to 800. the undertaken gets from $50 to
800, the editor publishes death notice Of
the death and an obituary two columns
long, lodge and society resolutions, a lot
Of poetry and a free card Of thanks and
gets $1,000. No wonder so many editors get
rich"

When the late Sherman Hoar, lawyer of
recognized ability, left the law school and
opened an Office in Boston. his father, Judge
Hoar. was at the height of his legal reputa-
ton.
The young mans first client was an Irish
man, and the case, though only some small
matter of boundary line, was one that re-
quired the examination of a number of
deeds and records. Mr.. Hoar accordingly
told his client to come back in two days
for his opinion.
The Irishman left the office. evidently
very reluctant at the delay. Turning at the
door, he asked: Couldn't We give me the
answer tomorrow, Misther Hoar?"

The client was as far as the stairs. Then
he turned and tiptoed back to the door and

Such developments In Industrial works

profitable investment for development and

A company has just been formed
with capital of Sl0,0O0,000

Is practically unlimited and will be
utilised for an electric railway 200 miles

ployed In safeguarding Kashmir against
disastrous floods, and in retaining val
liable rice producing tracts of land from
the marshes; to supply the motive power
for many proposed factories and thus
serve TO convert Kashmir into a great
center OF manufacturing industry, and to
tmpart new energy to the great silk in
dustries OF the province. Power will also
be supplied for local tramways and light
railways, and Tor driving punbahs in the
big military environments OF northern In

less than half that OF steam power. The
