THE PENALTY OF OVERWORK.

Work has been mans lot since the creation, but day of toll should not have its penalty of pain. Why is It, then, you ask, that backache so often Eollows2 It is because the modern tendency is to overwork, to tear Aown faster than nature can rebuild. An unnatural strain is thrown upon the vital organs, and more especially upon the kidneys, which have the work of Altering the blood free of waste and poison.
 ! The heavy tax of overwork-the strain upon the back that is so com mon to many trades and occupations, is too great. The kidneys begin to fail in their work. and there is a double danger to health. The poison ous matter collects in the system, and the kidneys themselves begin to break down.
 Pain in the back is only a warning of trouble in the kidneys. An infiam- nation has set in, and a disordered condition of the urine soon becomes apparent.
 Too much or too little urine, with a constant desire to void the secTe- tons: any noticeable deviation from the normal color; the appearance of c sandy sediment, proves . disor-

WAR NURSE IN BONDAGE.
Lured South, New Jersey Girl Is Held
 Prisoner-AppeaIs For Aid.


 Asbury Park, N. J., Dec. 9-Thomas Broderick, whose valor has been tried time and again, is hurrying south on a strange mission in which tact and readiness to strike must go hand in hand. He has been sent by the friends of Olga Sjostedt, a trained nurse of Asbury Park, who in the last week has managed to send several heartrending letters out of virtual prison in ne- gro cabin in the North Carolina moun- tains eight miles from the little town of Halifax.
 Held prisoner by an aged man she believes to be a lunatic, forced to do mans work about a plantation and to get sustenance from wretched fare, she has at length succeeded in getting letters to her friends begging piteously to be rescued.
 Miss Sjostedt, who was nurse in the Spanish American war, is an at tractive woman, thirty-five years old. In her early letters she told how she was met at the station by her em- ployer and driven to the plantation. This place she describes as midway between Welden and Halifax, miles from any neighbors. Her money, she said, was taken from her. She went to Halifax in response to an advertise ment for housekeeper.
