Are You Sure Your Kidneys are Well

- ~
Many rheumatic attacks are due to
acid in the blood But the duty of
the kidneys is to remove all uric acid
from the blood. It's presence there
shows the kidneys inactive Don't
daily with uric acid solvents" You
might go on till doomsday with them,
but until you cure the kidneys you
will never get well. Doan's Kidney
Pills not only remove uric acid, but
cure the kidneys and then all danger
from uric acid is ended.
A. J.. Dean, farmer, Rural Free De-
livery No. 9, Section u, Carrollton,
Mo, says: 81 gave Doan's Kidney
Pills a trial after using about every
thing I could hear of for rheumatism.
l have not had any trouble with my
kidneys beyond their causing rheu-
matism through inactivity. Last
winter the trouble was more than or
binary and my back was most painful.
sharp pains would dart through MI
if stopped or attempted to arise
from a chair. / read some of the
statements made by people who had
used Doan's Kidney Pills, was induced
TO get a box and l can assure you
that they have not been over esti-
mated, for l have not been so free
from rheumatism in twenty-five years.
They are mild in their action and
most effective"

HE MADE GOOD.

Not long ago a city editor in OF
tumwa, Ia, was told over the tele-
phone that a prominent citizen had
just died suddenly. He called a re-
porter and told him to rush out and
get the "story." Twenty minutes
later the reporter returned, sat down
at his desk and began to rattle off
copy OF his typewriter.
"Well, what about it?" asked the
city editor.
ooh, nothing much," replied the
reporter, without looking up. "He
was walking along the street when
he suddenly clasped his hands to
his heart and said: 4 am going to
die Then he leaned up against a
fence and made good. Every
body's.

SPIDERS LIFE LINES.

| took a large spider from his web
under the basement of a mill, says a
contributor to the Chicago Tribune,
put him on a chip Of wood, and set
him ahoat on the quiet waters of the
pond. He Immediately began to
cast a web for the shore. He threw
it as far as possible in the air with
the wind. 1t soon reached the shore
and made fast to the spires of grass.
Then he turned himself about and
in true sailor fashion began to haul
in hand over hand his cable. Care
fully he drew it until his bark began
to move toward shore. AS it moved
the faster he the faster drew upon
it to keep his hawser taut, and from
touching the water. Soon he reached
the shore and quickly sped his way
homeward. | tried several spiders
and they all came to shore in like
manner.

A BAKERY.

The monster bakery at Essen,
Germany, is a vast building in
which 70 workmen, divided into two
shifts, work night and day. Every
thing is done by machinery. A gil
gantic screw turns increasingly in a
kneading trough into which are
poured ten sacks of flour of 100
kilogrammes each and some water.
This machine makes about 10000
hlogrammes of bread every day in
the shape Of $4,000 small loayes and.
$4,000 large ~loaves, produced by 23O
sacks Of flour Of 100 kilogrammes
each.
All the operations of breadmaking
are performed in this colossal bak-
cry. The wheat arrives there, is
cleaned, ground and brought auto
matically to the kneading trough by
a series Of rising and descending
pipes. There are SO double ovens,
and the workmen who watch over
the baking Of the bread earn 10 to -
sous an hour, making on average
4 francs, rs cents, for II hours on
duty. They have coffee and their
bread free. Eight douches and a
bath are at their disposal.

NURSING WORK.

The making of the nurse does not
demand that she shall have person.
ally nursed an example of every
case she shall hereafter be called
upon to attend. She is not response
Bile for treatment.
She is to be trained to obey or

learned to do this from the point
of view both of the surgeon and the
physician, is she not a well-trained
nurse, even if she has never seen a
case of measles nor nursed a gun

FOOD VALUE OF

We simply don't know what con-
stitutes a good wheat; there is no
accepted standard of goodness.
What is called strength is a purely
fictitious expression with regard to
the food value of flour; it has ref
erence merely to the power of the
-four to carry water and to its
stichness-the strongest" flour
being one from which the baker
can make the greatest number
Of loaves and the biggest loaf /;
it is, therefore, the weakest as a
food material. - London Science

digestion. Get a bottle of Kodol for
Dyspepsia, and 2 what it will do
for you. Kodol not only digests what
you eat and gives that tired stomach
a needed rest, but is a corrective of
the greatest efficiency. Kodol re-
lieves indigestion, dyspepsia, palpi-

sour stomach. Kndol will make
your stomach young and healthy
