Tho DRAGON Fly.

The Oldest extant poem about drag
on fly Is said to have been composed
lao years ago by the Emperor Yuria-
ku Of Japan. One day. while this en-
peror was hunting. say the ancient
records, a gadhy came and bit his arm.
Herewith dragon fly bounced upon
the gadfy, and devoured 1t. Then the
emperor commanded his ministers to
make an ode in praise of the dragon
fly. But as they hesitated how to be-
gin he himself composed poem IN
praise Of the insect, ending with the
words:
Even a creeping insect
Waits upon the great Lord
Thy form II will bear.
o Yamato. land of the dragon fly!
And in honor of tho dragon fly the
place Of tie incident was called Akit-

That Lame Back Means
Kidney Disease
And to Relieve the Lame and Aching Back,
You Must First Relieve the Kidneys

There is no question about that
at all-for the lame and aching
back is caused by a diseased con-
dition of the kidneys and bladder.
1t is only common sense, any way
that you must cure condition
by removing the cause OF the con-
dition. And lame and aching back
are not by any means the only
symptoms of arrangement of the
kidneys and bladder. There are a
multitude of well-known and I'M
mistakable indications of more or
less dangerous condition. Some of
these are, for instance: Extreme
and unnatural lassitude and weari-
ness, nervous irritability, heart ir-
regularity, NERVES Oh edge" sleep
1essness and inability to secure
rest, scalding sensation and sedi-
ment in the urine, Inflammation of
the bladder and passages, etc.
DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder
Pills are an exceptionally meritori-
GUS remedy qfor any and all affec-
tions or diseased conditions of
these organs. These Pills operate
directly and promptly-and their
beneficial results are at once felt.
They regulate, purify, and effec-
tually heal and restore the Kid
neys, bladder and liver, to perfect
and healthy condition-even in
some of the most advanced cases.

The Power Of Good COOKING.


If the girls who desire faithful hus-
bands only knew it, the culinary art is
the surest road to domestic bliss.
Poor cooking has broken up many a
home and severed many a marital
bond. No man who is fed upon indi-
gestible, ill-cooked food can wear a
pleasant smile or exercise that optim-
ism which is the strongest influence
for success. Nor can he do himself
justice in his daily task, be 1t physical
or mental.
Every girl should learn to cook. She
may we'd man who can provide her
with servants, so that she never need
put a finger to feather buster, let
alone frying pay, but her table will
never be as well served If she leaves
everything to them as It will be If
she can detect the cause Of poor cook
ing and teach her servants to remedy
it.
The poor mans wife can effect
great economies by knowing food val
ues and the best way to convert them
into the human system. The rich
mans wife can win fame among her
friends by little study of the finer
points Of cooking.

PROPOSE On KNEES
ALSO KISS YOUR LADY LOVES
HAND.
Fashion In Vogue In the Early Vic.
i torlan Period 10 Revived In Eng.
land After 4 Lapse Of
70 Years.


Young men intending to propose
should do so on their knees-if they
wish to follow fashions dictates.
They should also, when meeting
women in the drawing room, lightly
kiss their hands and perform other
courtesies Of the early Victorian pc
riod. Such is the new style of man
ners which are becoming fashionable
again in England, or at least in Lon
don society. after a lapse Of GO or
70 years.
One of the most beautiful women
In London, and we'll known in the
social world. has just confessed that
her fiance proposed to her on his
knees.
The act was SO gracefully done
that could not refuse him." she told
friend.
Other girl friends of mine have
told me of similar experiences. What
can possibly have Influenced the young
man of the present day to act in such
manner? Brusque, unconventional,
almost rude manners have hitherto
distinguished him. These gentle
courtesies and old-fashioned graces
make woman's life doubly happy. l
hope every man will follow the ex-
ample of my fiance and otherwise i'm
prove his manners"
! A Well-known expert on dramatic
art said she certainly agreed that
the manners of men were i'm.
proving.
1T must be admitted" she contin-
ued, that there is room for improve
ment. For several years past the
attitude of young men toward women
has been almost disrespectful. Only
a few days ago l had a pleasant sur.
prise. A young man meeting me grace.
fully kissed my hand. He did it in
quiet, transformations way, as nicely
as If he had been gallant of a cen.
fury ago.
II have noticed similar signs of i'm.
provement among other young men
in what one might call 'Schoo, for Scan.
dali manners. In that play the gal
lantry Of the men toward the women
is an object lesson to all. A man who
proposes on his knees-a form of pro
lposal which is stated to be reviving-
Is doing the natural thing. He is ask
ing a great favor of the lady-a favor
SO great that unconsciously takes the
form of prayer.
Il have often heard it remarked
that stage proposals-where a man
falls on his knees before the WON
an he loves-are not true to life. But
more men propose on their knees now
adays than people dream of. The
casual offhand proposals, which are
stated to be common, are dying out
And Londoners SO badly need a re
turn Of fine manners! 1t is not mere
ly the fault of the men. Women, by
competing with men and standing W
for their rights are liable to lose
their privileges and sanctity as
women"
