you try them. The best thing to do Is
to fll the bowl with water and let II
stand for an hour or two This swells
the wood and precludes the possibility
OF cracks. When the bowl is emptied
and almost dry. put In some tobacco
less than half bowlful-and light up.
The smoke will have an unpleasant
tang. but don't mind. or else get some-
body to puff for you. Then empty out
the ashes. put In some more tobacco
this time a little more than half
bow1ful--and repeat the process several
times. Your pipe Is now fairly broken
In and ready for business.
The amateur smoker is likely to make
much ado about the tiny, black bIisters
that form on the interior OF the bowl.
Your first impulse is to pull out your
penknife and scrape off the bits OF
charred wood. But, unless you relish
burnt tongue. you must resist the
temptation. Let the blisters alone
They will harden after few smokes
and give you a sweet. seasoned pipe.
To get the most satisfactory results
you must attend to the cleanliness OF
the stem. Invest in q package of pipe
cleaners--they cost only q nickel
dozen--and run one through the stem
after every two or three smokes. THIS
will prevent particles OF charred to-
bacco from accunulating in the tube
and at intervals floating down your
throat. Stale tobacco isn't good to
swallow.
The part Of your pipe most liable to
get out OF order is the draft passage

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The Kidneys filter the blood
They work night and day. When
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 symptons-pain in the
back, headache. nervousness, hot, dry
skin, rheumatism. govt, gravel, dis
orders of the eyesight and hearing,
dizziness, irregular heart, debility,
drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the
urine, etc. But if you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with
your kidneys,
Oscar Timm, living at $50 Adams ST.,
Wausau, Wis, says: The first time /
tried Doan's Kidney Pills was off from
