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 I'M
healthy some part Of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pain in the hack, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, govt,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
ia urine. etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.

The Pins of Brittany.

Brittany is all right" the Travelled
man said, cautiously, "but beware Of
the pigs there"
He had still an hour before the
steamer started, and he resumed:
The Breton pig is not fat and indo-
lent like ours. He is as lean and fiery
as a wolf, and twice a woolf's size.
All over Brittany you see him, swag-
gering up and down the white roads,
in search of roots, berries, frogs, any
thing-for he must forage for himself
his master never feeds him. Step
ont of his way. or he will snarl and
leap at you.
"The Bretons are great drunkards.
Sometimes they fall asleep beside the
road They awake with a sharp pain
in the arm or leg, the pain Of hun
cry hogs teeth.
And I could tell you a gruesome
story of the babyhood of handless
Breton beggar whose parents once left
him alone in his cradle with the house
door open-but it is too horrible"

Last Words of John Quincy Adams


The dramatic death of John Quincy
Adams on the floor of the house of
congress gave the writer's of his day
an opportunity for putting fine words
in his mouth and rearing another his
toric hero. At that time DR.. w. A.
Newell was member of congress
from New Jersey, and subsequently
became governor of his state He was
the first to reach the stricken man as
he sank to the floor.
DR.. Newell later in life insisted that
Adams last words, spoken to him,
were:
This is the end; quick, a little
brandy"
Which doesn't accord with popular
histories of the event by long shot.

Putterind Business Women.

Women do not save their strength
In the way men do, by amusing, them
selves when not professionally en-
gagged. Instead, they fix over their
dresses, clean their fats, work on
Christmas presents, and so on. Put
tering, Clara Barton declares, is what
causes more professional women to
break down than any other one thing.
She says that a woman can not ar
ford the luxury of being her own seam
stress, housekeeper, nurse, and so on.

business which is your very life, rest
or play, don't putter.' Appleton S

AN OLD ARKANSAS
 DEMOCRAT HAS A WORD.

1nez, New Mexico, Mar. Do Dear News: It has been some time since our little Democratic community has been represented i'll your paper, and l hope the little demagogae follower who gave n1e such airing in that Little Rock paper has been convinced of his error and has turned back from boss and ma ehineism and las assisted in bur rying such unmanly ideas so deep that they will never return to politics in Arkansas again.
 hope that the late canvass has opened the eyes of the peo- pie so they can not fail to see their heretofore idol has no other interest than to forward his own selfish motives. The idea of a United States Senator leaving, his post as representative ln that great body to harrass the people for two or three months that he may be able to name the govern or and by so doing be able to for ward his selfish ambition as dlc- tator, as though the voters had not sufficient sense to select a governor able to fill the office. It looks to ne like d stroke at self government and an effort to build up plutocracy in state that has stood very high in the ranks of statehood as being peo- pied Gv sturdy, independent. democratic class that has always been supposed sufficiently well informed to take care of them- selves at the poles or anywhere else.
 If you see it put this in your paper. If 1t IS not on the right line consign 1t to the waste bas- ket.

"One Touch Of Nature Makes
 The Whole World Kin"

When a rooster finds a big fat worm he calls all the hens in the farm yard to come and share 1t. A similar trait of human nature Is to be observed when a man discovers something exception ally good-he wants all his friends and neighbors to share the benefits of his discovery. This IS the touch of nature that makes the whole world kin. This explains why people who have been cured by Chamber lain's Cough Remedy write let ters to the manufacturers for publication, that others similarly ailing may also use 1t and ob- tain relief. Behind every one of these letters is warm hearted wish of the writer to be of use to someone else. This remedy is for sale by all Druggists and all Dealers.
