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 healthv they remove about 800
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, gout, gravel, disorders of the
eye sight and hearing, dizziness.
drowsiness. dropsy, deposits in the
urine, etc. But If you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with
your kidneys.
Mrs. r. M. Eperly, Fifth st, cor.
Evelyn St. Grants Pass, Ore, says

SPOKANE APPLE SHOW
WILL BE IMME NSE

Fifty thousand square feet of apples
will be on display at Spokane during
the national spp'e show TO be held
there December Z to 12 Inclusive, this
year. 1t will be the largest collection
of apples ever placed on exhibition.
Apples Of all the standard winter
varieties will be included in this dis.
play and every style of pack and
wrap will be demonstrated.
Such proportion has the enterprise
taken, that the management has
found its original plans entirely dis
arranged. 1t was at first intended
to hold the show in the state armory
which is the largest in the north W est,
but so many reservations have been
made for space in the various con-
tests that the management was con.
fronted with the option of limiting
the exhi bits or enlarging the accom-
modations. The business men of
Spokane promptly raised $40, 900 with
which to construct additional build
ings and the enterprise will now be
allowed to grow to the limit of the
inreased accommodations.
The prizes to date aggregate $50, 600
including cash, orchard land. i'm
plements and various other kinds of
premiums. 1t is the intention of
the management to increase the total
prizes to s50,O00. Assurances have
been given that the department of az.
riculture of the federal government
will send men to act as judges at the
show.

The Lewmsn Bros. have their thifd
crop Of hay cut and shocked, and.will
begin hauling Monday. The hay crop
in the central valley Is very short this
season owing to the extremely dry
summer. The Applegate river sup.
plies nine iriigating bitches but
there are hundreds of acres not under
irrigation which in the no distant
future will be turned into large hay
fields and orchards. The fruit crop
is also short In this section owing to
the early spring frosts.
Many Of the farms of this section
are preparing to put out new orchards
and era many years expect to make
this fruit center.

beauties of provolt and the Applegate
Valley where no one ever grows old
ana where all is peace and happiness,
all of which is caused by looking over
the fields of waving grain, alfalfa,
clover. to say nothing Of the large red
apples which lead the world for
quality and where the wild flowers
bloom throughout the winter. and the
mountain scenery is ever new. These
are some of the reasons why "Uncle

A writer in Harper's Weekly makes
some Interesting comments upon u re-
cent dispute between Rabbi Silverman
and Justice Brewer over the question
us America n Christian nationY DIR.
Silverman contended that il is not, the
majority OF Americans, according to
him, not being Christians. He holds
that there are over 100000 people In
this country who belong TO the various
non-Chrstian religions or to no re-
ligion ut all DIR. Sllverman is quoted
as having affirmed that our govern
ment owes nothing to the Christian
religion as far as Its elements are con-
cerned and that, in fact. our govern
ment Is founded on the laws or Moses.
The Harper's Weekly writer argues
that the Christian religion itself is a
development of the Jewish and that IL
might be true that our government was
founded on the laws of Moses and still
be true that il was based on Christian
ity. An enormous majority OF our
people, he says. think In the terms or
the Christian religion: What religion
n man belongs TO In Il large sense Is
not to be determined by his conduct or.
often, by his professions. but by his
history. You can tell what n mans re-
iigion is by the way he swears as well
as by the way he prays An over
whelming majority OF our population
is Christian by heredity and Instinct,
and it is an entirely justifiable use Of
language 20 call the United States a
Christian nation"

The pa.torn, Nnv.,oc.

The Navajoes are a pastoral, patri-
archal, seminomadic people. Their
whole culture and development center
in their flocks. Their reservation OF
1900 square miles is desert, broken
with mountain and mesa. On the mesa
and low mountains there are consider
able areas OF pinon and cedar and on
the higher mountains limited area OF
beautiful pine forests. Over this re-
gion the Navajoes drive their fiocks.
At the season when the slight rainfall
gives even n scant pasturage on tho
desert plains the fiocks are pastured
there. AS the pasturage on the lower
levels is both burned with the hot,
scorching sun and exhausted with pas
turing. the flocks are taken up into the
higher mountains, where there Is more
moisture. Again. as the deep winter
SHOWS come on, the sheep must be TAX
en- down out OF the mountains TO es-
cape them. During this time they are
kept on the wooded mesa, where there
is less snow and Il plentiful supply of
wood, of which there is none on the
plains below. Year in and year out the
Navajo focks are driven back and
forth from plain to mountain top, mesa
and foothills.-Scrlbner's
