Kidney diseases are generally found
In persons whose blood IL impover-
ished or impure. and whose nerves
have not sufficient power or force 10
make the kidneys perform their prop
er functions
The duty Of the kidneys Is 70 filter
the blood, and when this fluid Is filed
with uric acid and malariai poisons
they become overburdened with ex-
IRA work. When the nerves are not
strong, they fail TO supply the power
TO do this work; then the kidneys be-
come clogged and disease sets In.
Kidney complaints usually commence
with cold chllls, especially In the back
and loins, followed with fever and
pain. Tie pain extends 10 the blad-
der. loins and thighs. The urine be-
comes highly colored or extremely
light. 1t sometimes looks red or

Then came telephone message.
Miss Blake had been married the day
before and had gone on her honey

not inconvenience her employer, but
her fance had been ordered west and
the girl had accompanied him.
"What am | going to do without

Lippy, catching the drift of the re-

quick perception saw in her clear eyes
the dawn Of forgiveness long before
his employer read his answer, and he
plucked at Runyon's coat.

he innocently slipped the spring latch
that these two, who were oblivious to

disturbed by the intrusion Of book
agents or peddlers.
1t was an hour before he showed up
again, and Runyon was working fever
ishly at his desk, while Miss Breval sat
by the window enjoying the panorama
Of the city spread before her gaze.
Runyon handed him letter.
