As one weak link weakens chain, SO weak kidneys weaken the whole body and hasten the final breaking down.
 OYerWork, strains, colds and other causes injure the kidneys, and when their activity Is lessened the whole body suffers from the excess ci uric poisou circulated in the blood.
 Aches and pains and languor and urniary Ills come, and there is an ever increaSitg tendency towards dialects and fatal Bright's disease. There is no real help for the sufferer except kid nev help,
 Doan's Kidney Pnls act directly on the kidneys and cure ev rY kidney Ill.

 "oh, your majesty" said tho man, "my wife Is suffering the greatest az ony from toothache, and she obstinate ly refuses to have the tooth taken out" "If that Is all," said Peter, i've will soon cure 1t. Take me to her at once. :" When they arrived the woman de clared that she was not suffering al all; there was nothing the matter with her.
 That is the way she talks, your majesty" said the valet. "She 10 sui fering tortures."
 Hold her head and hands," said the czar. T will have 1t out In minute" " And he instantly pulled out the indi- cated tooth with great deXterity, amid profuse thanks from the husband.

Elusnex of Speech.

The common fuency of speech in many men and most women Is owing to a scarcity of matter. and scarcity of words, for whoever Is e master of language and hath mind full of ideas will be apt in speaking to hesitate up- on the choice of both, whereas com mon speakers have only one set of Ideas and one set of words to clothe them in. and these are always ready at the mouth, so people come faster out of church when 1t IS almost empty than when a crowd Is at the door, Dean Swift.

 With the assistance of two keepers be entered the cage, strapped the ani- nal down, forced a block of wood Into her mouth to keep It open and got busy with a pair of forceps.

We are always glad to have yor talk
to the people. and the readers are al

they enjoy reading your interviews"
The colonel was looking his best
this morning, and wore a dark red
necktie with his diamond stud in his
shirt front, and a new brown spring
suit on.
My boy, ! want to talk TO the peo-
pie and advise them to clean up their

ness is akin to godliness. well 1t is.
You are also aware OF the fact that

of the city every ward should be
