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 the 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.
John Taylor of 743 Fourteenth street
Rock Island, H., says: For some
time l was troubled with dull pains
across the small of my back and across
my loins. l felt that they were getting
gradually little more severe. l knew
kidney trouble was the cause and
was anxious to stop the trouble before

interest, but that which gained my
notice particularly was the police sys-
TEN. In the City of Mexico the police
at night are stationed at short inter
walls apart In the street. Each police
man has a lantern, which is placed on
a stand in the center Of the street. 1t
is his duty to remain IN easy striking
distance of this lantern at all times,
so that he will be on hand in case Of
an emergency.
"Any person who IS able to reach
the lamp and lift it from its hook be-
fore the policeman interferes is entitled
to a reward of $500. Any policeman
who loses his lantern is subject to in
slant and dishOnorable dismissal. This
IS TO insure constant vigilance on their
part and to require their presence at
n certain point at all times. At first 1
regarded the thing as a joke, and l
tried to get possession Of the police
lantern. But then l found that l was
greatly mistaken. Not once, although
l exercised extreme caution, was
quick enough for the policeman on
watch.
The City of Mexico IS one of the
best policed communities in the world
Policemen are always on hand when
one requires them, and It is virtually
impossible for desperadOes to operate

A SUICIDES HAND.
The Queer Superstition That Used to
Prevail In ENGLAND.

Prevail In England.
In former times 1t was a common no.
tiOn that If sick person could only
touch the hand Of q suicide he or she
would be cured This superstition was
especially common in the west Of Eng
land. In Cornwall touching suicides
hand was said to have once cured q
many tumors from his birth A sim
liar superstition regarding the touch
of executed criminals has been widely
prevalent and has often been recorded
Robert Hunt in his ''ROmances of the
West Of England says that he once
saw young woman led on to the
scaffOld at Newgate in order to have a
wen touched by the hand Of man
who had just been executed.
At Northampton of old the hangman
is said to have had a regular fee for
according a similar privilege" to suf-
ferers from like disorders. Even the
coffin Of suicide may have curative
value. There Is a Devonshire belief to
from disease can manage to throw a
white handkerchief on such a coffin
at the time of its interment the disease
will vanish as the handkerchief decays.
Much superstitiOus value has also been
attached to the knots Of the rope used
either by a suicide or in the execution
Of a criminal.
