back in the tenth century B. C., Makeda, Queen of
Sheba, early in her reign paid a ceremonial visit
to the court of King Solomon coming with her
tire court and magnificent retinue bearing royal
gifts of frankincense and balm, gold and ivory, and
precious stones to that kngliest of rulers-a gor-

She of Sheba bore Solomon son and called him
Menelk, so the legend runs. Later as lad the boy
was twitted by paymates that he had no father. In
this dilemma the Queen sent embassy to Solo
mon, asking some act that should establish their
sons royal paternity. Promptly Solomon returned
the embassy, bearing to Shebas court in far South
west Arabia a royal decree declaring Menelik his
son, and accompanied by of each of the lead

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps u
L 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 symp-
toms-pain in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma-
tism, govt, gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness, ir-
regular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc.
But if you keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kid
neys.
Mrs. James Wallace, living at sos
Third street, Bismarck, Nd, says:
my husband had occasion to use
Doan's Kidney Pills two months ago
and the good results he obtained
warrant me in recommending them.
For some time previous to using
them he suffered from a severe pain
through his back which at times ra-
dated to all parts of his body. Fin
ally he learned of Doan's Kidney
Pills and procured a box at Len
hart Drug Co. The results receiv-
ed were very gratifying and in a
short time he received complete
cure. | am glad to recommend the
remedy that cured him.
