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

70" -S
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 disease and
symptoms-pain in the back, head
ache. nervousness. hot. dry skin,
of the eyesight and hearing, dizzi-
ness, irregular heart, debility. drows-
mess. dropsy, deposits in the unrine,
etc. But If you keep the filters right
you will have no trouble with your
kidneys.
Paul stowell. living at 4O6, E.
Seventh street, Mitchell, s. D., says:
81 think that my kidney trouble came
on back in the early sixties while
serving in the army. I often suffer-
ed very severely with this complaint.

a dull ache in my back, directly

Fire in the Baptist Church

A small blaze that started in a
little room at the real of the Baptist
church, which was discovered about
ten o'clock Sunday morning, might
have become a seri0us affair Indeed.
The fire was caused by an over
heated stove in the room that is used
by the deacons and pastor for tie
Sunday morning prayer meeting.
The wall near which the stove
stood became so hot as to ignite the
lath and from that 1T had spread to
the joice where it was making rapid
progress when discovered. An alarm
was turned in to the fire department,
but by reason Of the prompt action
of the janitor. Floyd ellis, assisted
.by Elmer Loomer and other friends
the fire was fully under control when
tile firemen arrived. The damage
was so slight that a bundle Of larh
and a hod Of mortar will make the
wall as good as before

A False Alarm.

We had a rather startling experience
in the London Zoo once. 1t happened
upon a calm spring afternoon, when
Tommy Atkins and nurse maids
strolled about the shaded grounds.
In the midst of this quiet potpourri
of military o and Gagged beasts
of prey, a shocking clamor rent the
air. Everyone started in alarm. "a
woman in distress!" exclaimed a gall
liant Professor, running toward the
noise Hysterical~ laughter, a de-
licious abandon of unhlnged reason,
it seemed, gave one the creeps. My
hair actually assumed a semi-perpen-
dicular pose, a feat I had hitherto
thought exclusively limited to "shill-
ing shockers." I ran after the Pro-
fessor, down the lanes, through
bushes, the insane %shrieking grow
ing louder We rushed up to a line
of open cages. Hyenas! Four of. them
with shouts Heavenward, hind quar-
tiers crouching, pealing out the most
ungodl racket that ever greeted hui
man ears! Our nerves were suspicious
of every sound for several days to
come.-The Travel Magazine.

The Demonstratin Car.

This story may not be true; the
downtown motor-car dealer on
whom it is laid denies it-but a GER
tain poignancy still remains.
The dealer got out of his IA at
Eight and Main Streets, Friday morn
ing to buy a toy motor-car from a
hawker who has a stand under the
viaduct.
"Ill take that car" said the dea-
Ter, pointing at a toy which was
spinning around on the table.
The hawker reached in his sack
and drew out another.
"That one amt for SALE" he said
grinning. cit is my demonstratin'

1t is related that after that the
hawker and the motor-car dealer
cordially shook hands-but no sale
was made.-New Orleans Picayune.

Supervisors Meet.

A special meeting of the Board
of Supervisors was held last Satur-
day and the accounts of the late
MIR. John r. Castleman, Superin-
tendent of the Berryville and
Charles Town Turnpike. we're
settled.
A resolution was also adopted
requlsting the State Corporation
Commission to transfer and assign
to the County the States interest
in the Berryville and Winchester
Turnpike Company and the Berry
vile and Millwood Turnpike Com
pany.
When these turnpikes were orig
inally built, the State furnished two
fifths of the funds for the road be-
tween Berryville and Winchester
and three-fifths of the funds for the
road between BerryvilIe and Mill
wood.
Considerable criticism has been
leveled at the State authorities for
allowing the State to hold an in
terest in these turnpikes since the
establishment of the State Corpor-
alton Commission, as the Commits
sion Is, in that way, interested in
corporations of the State. 1t i:
claimed that the State should have
no interest in the turnpike com,
panles, as 1t would, through such
interest, be inclined to take more
generous view of the control and
operations of such corporation:
because of its interest therein.
1t is also argued that the State
Corporation Commission wa.
created for the purpose of curbina
the corporations, instead of being
interested therein.
The action of the commission
relative to the turnpike companie:
will be awaited with Interest
throughout this section, where there
are many turnpikes in which the
State has an interest.

Fine Work by Sculptor French.

Visiting sculptors, who are here
To attend the exhibition in the Fifth
Regiment Armory, will be pleased
to learn that in Baltimore may be
seen one of the finest works of
Daniel Chester French, the emf

next to the late St. Gaudens.

One of those who was most sur
prlsed To learn that this work by
French is in Baltimore. was Mr..
dorado Taft, whose The Blind
is a notable masterpiece of the
sculpture exhibition. This figure
and font is one of French's finest
efforts, F" said Mr.. Taft.
The baptistry is an addition to
the church built on the south side
of the chancel. 1t is of stone in
harmony with the buildiny. Tie
walls from the window sill> down
are of fauItlesS S:euna marble.
Above the marble are La Farve's
