Schmidt, noticing his fellow workman's
p~redlcament, came over.
Whats the trouble2" he asked. Cant

No. said the workman, nor anyone
else"
That's easy" said Schmidt, and, get
ting down on his hands and knees. he
seized the spike in his teeth, bumped up
his back and gave a tug. out came the
spike.
This was the first time, according TO
Schmidt, that he ever exercised this power
outside Of his own home. The carpenter,
dumfounded, rushed downstairs with his
story. To prove that the other man was
not stretching the truth, Schmidt had to
do 1t again. and in this way his gift was
discovered.
At once he was the hero Of the Job. For
the amusement of his fellow workmen
Schmidt pulled spikes with his teeth. He
bit them in halves. Every Kind of test was
invented to try his ability. So far. al
though these tests have continued almost
daily for the last month, he has not failed
to prove equal TO the occasion, and seems
to get better with practice.
Schmidt, who is still drawing his st.50 a

ment when the onlookers think they have
been stumped at last, he gives a quick
twist with his head, right to left, up and
down, and with a scream and groan out
come the spikes.
Schmidt will allow an eighty-penny spike
to be driven nearly its length into a heavy
piece of joist, and grabbing It in his Jaws
he snaps It off as clean as II It had been
done with a giant pair of nail clippers.
Given a pine board and an ordinary nail,
he does not need a hammer. He simply
wraps a pocket handkerchief around his
fist and drive the nail home.
One day at a test OF his back muscles,
and incidentally the quality of his skull,
he had two or three carpenters lift a fifty
pound stone and balance it on the top of
his head. Following his Instructions, one
Of the carpenters took a sledge hammer
and brought it down several times on the
big granite block.

You Must First Relieve the Kidneys

There is no question about that
ut all-for the lame and aching
back is caused by a diseased con-

II is only common sense, any way
that you must cure a condition

ditiOn. And lame and aching back
are not by any means the only
symptoms Of arrangement Of the
hdneys and bladder. There are a
multitude Of well-known and IN
mistakable indications Of a more or
less dangerous condition. Some Of
these are, for instance: Extreme
and unnatural lassitude and weari-
ness, nervous irritability, heart ir-
regularity, nerves on edge" sleep
lessness and inability to secure
rest, scalding sensation and sedi-
