The Cancels Eye.

The Nile is essentially a river of 81
lence and mystery. Even the camels
turn their beautiful soft eyes upon you
as if you were intruding upon their ST.
lence and reserve. Never were the eyes
In human head SO beautiful as a
camel's. There is a limpid softness,
an appealing plaintiveness, in their ex-
preston which drag at your sympa-
thies like the look in the eyes of a
hunchback. 1t means that with your
opportunities you might have done
more with your life. Your mother
looks at you that way sometimes in
church when the sermon touches par
ticularly raw nerve in your spiritual
makeup. I always feel like apologize

A CONSTANT ANNOYANCE

Half the nervousness, half the irri-
liability that is so common IN every
dav life. is really sickness. and in
most cases a condition that accom-
panies kidney trouble.
1t is the work Of the kidneys to keep
the blood free from uric acid and other
poisons. but when the kidneys are sick,
and not doing their duty, the uric acid
poison permeates the body, ana attacks
body, brain, and nerves. The irritation
causes nervousness, irritability, head
ache, dizzy spells; makes you languid.
unfit for work. and inclined to worry
over trihes. Besides, there is nothing
more annoying than a bad back, and
backache IS the most common sign
OF kidney trouble. You feel lame and
tired in the morning, suffer day anG
night with a duh aching in the back,
and It hurts to stOop or bend or lift.
Keep your temper cool, and get the
kidneys well. Nc person can feel
cheerful and healthy if the kidneys
are the least bit affected. A few doses
of Doan's Kidney Pills, taken in the
beginning, viii set the kidneys right.
