etc. are but symptoms; the cause of

kidneys.
A simple test of the urine is to

glass and let it stand over night;
next morning, if there is a reddish
brick-dust sediment, or white feecy
substance present. either consult some
reputable physician or take good

each meal and at bedtime.
Where any of the symptoms emu
merated above are present, good re-
suits are sure to follow Immediately

In the greatest bowling match ever

was the excellent bowling of several
members of each team, and every
player was rolling his best through

series neither team was in form and

won by thirty pins. With nine pins
to overcome in the last game Browne
set out to make it up. He led off for
ST. Peters with a spare and thsn fol-
lowed with six successive strikes, but
