What The KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceaslng Work keeps Us Strong
and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once evely three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. Wien
healthy they remove about 500
grains Of impure matter daily, when
unhealthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp.

Thomas Keenan, Dead.

The many friends of the Keenan,
family were shocked Sunday
morning to hear of the sudden
death of Thomas one of the so ms
which occurred near Olmitz. Sun
day morning. For some years
past he has been making bis home
at Olmitz;; but during the last few
months has been spending great
deal of his tine at the home of
Hugh Boyle, north and east Of
that place. He has not been in
the best of health for several
months, having had a case of
pneumonia. which left him in
rather run down condition. 1t
was his intention this spring to
reLt the Boyle farm and 90 to
farming. Saturday evening, in
company with Mr.. BOYLE and
several other gentlemen he left
the Boyle home to 90 to the creek
fishing. They returned in the
morning and Tom complained of
feeling badly, saying he guessed
the walk was too much for him.
He went into one of the rooms
and laid down on the bed. while
the others we're preparing the
breakfast. Mr.. Boyle went in to
have him come to breakfast, and
he said he would but did not rise.
lhey thought 1t would be better
to let him rest. and did not 90 in
again until after the meal, when
MIR. Boyle tried to rouse him, and
found that he had passed away.
Tom Keenan, was So years old
on July 4th.. 1906. He was born
at Utica, No.. and came to this
county in an early day with his
parents, his father heing in the
employ of the railroad compny
later settling in Liberty township,
where the family have since
resided. Mr.. Keenan, Sr. died in
the spring oil. 1900. Tom Keenan,
was never married. He leaves a
hlo'Iler, three sisters. and four
brothers, to mourn his loss. Tom
had many friends among those
who knew him. and his untimeIy
death as he was about to turn his
hand to agricultural pursuits, is
deeply regretted by the many
friends of the family, who unite
with us in extending our sympa-
thy.
The funeral was held Tues
day morning at 1890 from the
Catholic church.

the fanciful wraps of this last
mentioned class are to be more
popular and more extravagantly
handsome than ever, and the ad-
vance models shown by exclusive
houses are in many cases priced at
figures calculated to make the
average woman gasp. The lace
costs of the finest grade are per-
haps the most costly of their kind
though hand embroidery brings
some of the silk and lace trimmed
coats to the level of the lace
model in points of price.
Fanciful little coats of black or
colOred chiffon tafFeta almost
covered by self-tone braiding in

knots and scarf ends of black
