DAILY HEALTH HINT.

It is important that the agency used to kill flies that get into your home be nonpOisonous or not dangerous ohuman beings. Especially is th.s true in homes where there are children. A 2 per cent solution of bichromate of potassium made up with water and sweetened with sugar, and placed in sha lOw dishes through out the house, will kill the flies and vii! not harm the children should they get hod of it. This is cheap and may 'be obtained at any drug store. A ? per cent. solution of cObat chloride may be used. 1t is nonpoisonous but is more expensive and hard to obtain.

Now asked Mrs. Townsend, when they were settled in their places at the restaurant table, what shall I or der for luncheon?"

 Neither do l, her mother added.
 But I'd like some,' Jack insisted
 Now, here's some of the mulliga- tawny. Whats that like?
 If you take soup, we'll have to sit doing nothing while you eat yours." Janet objected. And, besides, one portion is more than you can eat, and 1t will be wasted"
 Tt won't save it to eat it any more than to leave it after 1t is paid for" was Jacks answer.
 You don't have soup usually at home" his mother remarked
 That's why I want it. Whats the use of going to restaurant if you just eat what you get at homer"

You're not here for amusement but to get some food" Janet observed.
 All right" Jack agreed: then you can just eat oatmeal with bread and butter. Thatll be cheap and filing"
 Janet began to look cross.

 Il don't like chicken pie. I'd rather have meek turtle soup and chicken salad and ice cream"
 That's too much,' his mother re- piled and it's too expensive
 Well, then" Jack grumbled. Eff cant have what I want, I won't take anything!"
 That's just like you!" Janet ex- claimed. You just go and spoil everything,"
 Well, Jack muttered I'm not going to guzzle tea and crumble dried up cake I'd rather take chewing gum!"
 Mrs. Townsend put down the bill of fare in despair.
 ''l do wish you wouldn't be so trou- blesome! I'm sure I cant suit you all without ordering a lot of things we don't want. And it's wasting money. too. All We need is a light luncheon so that you will not get too hungry before your dinner" She picked up the bill once more. Let me see what do you say to nice salad with French dressing and some rolls?"
 Don't like leaves" Jack muttered while Janet looked equally unhappy. and asked; Can't we have some des. sert?"
 Dessert" echoed Mrs. Townsend Yes, we could. Suppose We say rice pudding?"
 This was the last straw. Jack went down to the depths of despair. and Janet's lower lip began to tremble.
 Well children" their mother said shall l give the order?"
 I'd rather go without anything !" was Jacks reply and he turned indif. ferently from the table.

 Have you ordered?" inquired A waiter approaching briskly.
 Not yet said Mrs. Townsend. .Tu let you know in just a moment. Come. children, what will you have?"
 You won't let us have what We want Jack answered coldly.

 "Yes, sah,' replied the waiter, and disappeared with napkin trailing in the breeze.

WHY Kidney Disease is Dangerous

Kidney disease is dangerous because II
comes on uuawares and progresses to
fatal stage before the sufferer realizes
what the trouble is.
If you begin to run down, feel badly
have indigestion, inactive Liver, etc., you
have reason to suspect that your Kidneys
are affected and special Kidney treat
ment should be taken at once. Delays
are dangerous. Rydale's Kidney Remedy
is the best remedy known for the Kid
neys. 1t never fails to restore them to
health. Rydale's Kidney Remedy will
cure Bright's Disease if taken before too
much of the Kidneys are destroyed. The
remedy can do no harm if your kidneys
are not the cause of your ill-health. Its
the safest remedy if they are the cause.
