Annie Tharaus, a popular musical

WHATZTRE . KIDNEYS9DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us

All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood They work nigt and day. When healthy they remove about 800 grains of impure matter daily, when un- 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, gout, 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.

with the dispatch was successful in conveying it to it's destination Miss Lambert is the daughter of Rev. George Lambert of Elkhart, Ind.
 The Armcnians are people of an- cicat origin. devoted to their nation ality and their church. but persecution has scattered them. like the Jews, over the face of the earth. In the treaty of Berlin of 1878 Turkey prom ised to give the Armenian subjects of the sultan better treatment, but the promise was soon disrcgarded, and several extensive masSacrCs have since occurred besides that of this year. The Armenian church was established early in the third century and is thus one of the oldest national churches in existence. It's ceremonies are much like those of the Greek church, but 1t has some distinctive features, and owing to the prosecutions they have suffered the Armcnians in Turkey worship mostly in the nighttime. The mass Is said in the ancient Armenian, the sermon being in the modern. Their hierarchy claims succession from the apostles. like that of the Greek, Ro- man and Anglican communiOns. The secular priests may be married once, but are not permitted a second cXperi- ment in ma4aimony. The Armenians had a houriSliing literature in the fifth century. and some of their hymns date from that era. There has recently been a revival both of their literary life and their religious activity.
 The Syrian church is another exist ing in the Ottoman empire. and its members have also been consistently pcrsccutcd by the MoSlems.
 It is difficult to understand how in q country claiming to be civilized such a carnival of outrage and massacre can prevail as has been witnessed in Fur

The persecution of native Christians and the dangers to which Americans in the country have been exposed have excited much interest in the United States and have resulted in protests being lodged with the American state department against the conditions pre- vallng in Turkey, conditions which many think ought to cause activity on the part of the American government, Our government has sent two cruisers, the North Carolipa and Montana, to Alcxaudrctta. a port near the disturbed districts which has an American conSu- late. and has also dispatched there the rcvcnuc cutter Tohoma, under com maud of Captain J.
