THE SIMPLE HOME TEST
Tells How to find Out if The

! There are two more cases Of kidney
| trouble here now than ever before
while recent reports show that more
people succumb each year to some form
icf kidney disease than any o,nerscause
When there is sickness, examine the
urine. Rheumatism is only a symptom
of kidney trouble, 1t is nothing more
,or less than excessive uric acid In the
blood, which the sluggish. inactive
kidneys have failed to sift out, ieaving
lit to decompose and settle about the
joints and muscles. causing intense
suffering; frequently resulting i'm de-
formity: often reaching the heart when

Pains across the back. FREQUENT.
painful and suppressed urination and
other symptoms of weak bladder are
not the only signs of kidney trouble:
many cases of stomach disease. head
ache, pain in the heart inactive liver,
etc, are but symptoms the cause of
which can be traced TO feeble. clogged
kidneys.
A simple test of the urine is to
void small quantity in bottle or
glass and let it stand over night: next
morning. if there is a reddish brick
dust sediment. or white, fleecy sub
stance present either consult some re-
putable physician or take good vege-
table treatment The following pre-
scription is recommended highly in
these cases. and the sufferer should
mix it at home: Compound Kargon. one
ounce; Fluid Extract Dandelion. one
half ounce: Compound Syrup Sarsa-
parilla, three ounces. Shake well ard

meal and at bedtime
Where any of the symptoms enumer
ated above are present, good results
are sure to follow Immediately the use

very important and useful work, in
which can be found an account of most
prominent Americans of today. His
tory in Fiction by E. A. Baker, in two
volumes, one for English and the other
for American and foreign fiction, is
very helpful with author, title and sub
ject index. The Wisconsin blue book

state department. Other new books

lied Laber, by John Mitchell; Adde'S
cence, two volumes, by G.. Stanley Hall;

COLLECTING CHINA.
How to Buy Correctly and Make the
Best Selsction

6GSI 0eiSCtlom
Who has ever emerged from china
shop without a feeling of utter be-
wilderment? OF all those hundreds of
patterns and designs could one be
chosen that would prove satisfying
through many years of service? For
tunately tastes have changed during
the past few years, and we are no
longer tied down to one great dinner
set of a hundred or more pieces, but
we may have several sets for the diff
ferent courses of lunch or dinner, says
the Philadelphia North American
These may be very simple or very
elaborate, as the taste and purse al
low, but they should be chosen with
great care and a due regard to their
appropriateness TO ones other furnish
ings.
dinner set usually consists of from
100 to 80 pieces. The covered dishes
have tractive designs. The simpler
one would stand the test of time best
All Urge houses carry number Of
stock patterns, so that one may ac-
quir4 a dozen breakfast plates at one
time, half dozen coffee cups and sau-
GERS at another time, and so ON, until
he has a complete set or as many
pieces as are needed in the family
Such stock patterns are by no means
confined to the cheaper grades of china,
but many of the best potteries bring
out most desirable sets both in quality
and beauty of design. Well known
sets of this kind are the onion pat
tern. which IS made In Germany at
the Dresden and Royal Meissen pot
teries and which has also been imi-
tated In England. Its blue and white
is very restful to the eye and appeals
to one the same way al do the old
willcwware and the Canton blues.
In buying china several points
should be kept well in mind. 1t is
cheaper in the end to buy good quail
ity. By this is not meant elaborate
patterns. The simpler eolors are the
better Cold Is extensive and pieces
on which gold is used will cost accord
ingly Where stencils are used COM
paratively little brush work is neces-
sary, and. of course all extra hand
work must tend to increase the price.
The finest brush work, known as slip.
pie work. requires a skilled man. 1t
follows that If piece of china has
only hand work it must prove very ex-
pensive Thus the price of a single
cup and saucer may run up TO $50
or $40.
Always choose china which has a
name on the bottom of the piece or
a m,rA of the pottery 1t is impossible
in a short article to g,ve these marks.
Books are flied with 'them, and their
study is one OF great interest 1t
should also be remembered that the
lasting qualities of china are not nee
essarily determined by its thickness
or weight
If you can begin your collection with
only few pieces. he sure that they
are representative examples of the pot
tories whose names they bear
