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 back. headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism. govt,
gravel, disorders of tn eyesight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness. dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.

Finder.

any bee tree there. we'll have to try
apart
'Why?' asked I.
Because answered Bill, some
times bees have to turn out for things
the same as people do. AS rule,
bees don't fly as high as the crow or
the wild duck. They have to go
around and dodge things. A bee
line" means straight ahead till you
have to turn out for something. But
''as the crow flies" means straight
ahead through the shortest space be-
tween two points. The bee gets its
sight on the desired direction and
only swerves for obstacles. The crow
rises above obstacles and flies straight
home. That's what makes bee-hunt-
ing so hard You've got to sight the
bees fight as started and watch how
far it goes before it turns sideways.
Right there's where you walk to and
lay your stick Just like you started.
If It's hill or big tree or anything
like that 1t has to go around or over,
you've cot to go to clear space again
and figure out your angle and follow
1t as nearly as possible the way you
figure the bee figured it. Then you
keep on doing that again and again,
making marks as you go, until you
think you're far enough. Then you
go and get your second stick and
follow it the same way. If you can
walk chalk you find the bees and get
the honey
Here Uncle Joe paused to make a
! side remark: And the same holds
good pretty much with some other
things in life"
