Kidney Trouble

Danger Point is Reached-Dr.
Derby's Kidney Pills Work
Wonders-Sample Free!

Kidney disease is much more common
than most people imagine. Many sufferers
do not know what's ailing them-until the
trouble becomes serious. Some trihing af-
lection may run into the dread diabetes,
dropsy or Bright's disease before one realizes
there's anything wrong with his kidneys.
Usually the most noticeable symptoms
which first appear are far from the seat of
the trouble, and the sufferer mistakes the
nature of his aimcnt. Dull headaches or
nervousness, for instance, he never thinks of
as signs of diseased kidneys.
Even the aching back and sides, rheuma-
tism, pains or twitching in groins or limbs,
sore, inflafned muscles, he may consider in
locations of some other trouble. Unnaturally
:olored or cloudy urine, too frequent or too
scanty urination, burning sensation, are of
course readily recognized as symptoms of
such disorders.
Because of the deceptive and dangerous
character of these ailments, if you suspect
your kidneys are diseased, lose no time in
beginning treatment. The best possible
remedy for you is DR.. Derby's Kidney Pills.

day proper is essentially home day. the day
when the family likes to "be a party unto itself"
So 1t Is that the affairs to which society and soci-
ety's children are hidden usually take place be-
tween Christmas and New Years, although In
every particular they are Christmas gatherings.
For two weeks prior to the dawning Of Christ
day the Washington markets are filled with
holly and mistletoe. 1t is believed that before
long the legislatures Of Maryland and Virginia
will be forced to pass laws protecting the beau
tiful holly tree from the hands of the despoiler.
The demand for Christmas greens yearly kills
hundreds IL not thousands of holly trees. The
trouble is that the men who cut the branches for
the market little or no discretion IL securing
their spoils. Holly branches can be cut without
injury to the tree If the simplest precautions
taken, but in their greed to quantities Of
the beautiful boughs with their shining green
leaves and polished red berries, the gatherers
hack great limbs from the tree, injuring 1t that
in many cases 1t cannot survive the wound.
The mistletoe, which is found in great quanti-
ties in the markets of Washington at the Christ
mas time, Is a parasite which fastens itself upon
the branches of many species of trees. It's re-
moval does the tree good, provided the limbs from
which it springs not injured in the cutting
The mistletoe of the Potomac river country is
very much like the mistletoe of England. 1t Is
supposed that this parasite growth used by
the ancient Druids in their religious ceremonies
among the ancient Britons. All kinds of super
3ttions are connected with the mstletoe and
many or them are traced Dack 10 the days before
the Saxon occupation OF John Bulls island. These
superstitions were brought across the water by
the early English settlers, and they are found in
some parts of America in the same form in which
they have existed in England for century Gen.
fury.
The White House in holiday season literally
is turned into conservatory. Washington loves
flowers and every man and woman who comes
here to live finds that the flower affection speed
fly takes its hold. The White House is supplied
with flowers from n great conservatory carefully
tended by men trained TO Horticulture. There are
probably more flower shops In the capital In pro-
portion to the population than in any other city
in the United States. Almost literally they

the Christmas season is such that Notwithstanding

II Means Health
For the Child

The careful mother. who watches close
ly the physical peculiarities of her chill
dren, Will soon discover that the most
important thing in connection with a
child's constant good health is to keep
the bowels regularly open. Sluggish
bowels will be followed by loss of appe-
title. restlessness during sleep. irrita-
bility and dozen and one similar evil
dences of physical disorder.
AT the first sign of such disorder give
the child a teaspoonful of Dr. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring and
repeat the dose the following night If
necessary-more than that will scarcely
be needed. You will find that the child
will recover its accustomed good spirits
at once and will eat and sleep normally.
This remedy is a vast Improvement
over salts, cathartics, laxative waters
and similar things, which are altogether
too powerful for a child. The homes of
Mrs. L. Grunwald, is Perkins ST., Detroit,
Mich, and Mrs. j. p. Mcclellan. Foun-
tain, Mich, are always supplied with
Dr. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin, and with
them, as with thousands of others, there
is no substitute for this grand laxative.
1t is really more than a laxative, for it
contains superior tonic properties which
help to tone and strengthen the stomach,
liver and bowels so that after a brief
use of 1t all laXatives can be dispensed
with and nature will do its own work.
Anyone wishing to make a trial of this
remedy before buying it in the regular
way of druggist at fifty cents or one
dollar a large bottle Family slze) can

to make them.
In the official foreign colony In Washington the
Christmas holidays especially lively and JOY
Gus season. The managers OF the American pranch
offices of the governments OF the world are ever
eager to show their patriotism and loyalty by op-
serving all holidays ceremonial occasions just
as they would be observed II they were at home In
their own countries. Consequently Christmas Is
the occasion for many diverse and picturesque
celebrations in the homes of the official foreign
colony There is scarce a household In the cos
mopolitan community that has not its quota Of
children. Many Of the young people In these for
egn households are, for the time being, attending
American schools and have become imbued with
some of the traditions of the Yankee Christmas
Thus the yule-tide programs in many diplomatic
home at Washington presents an odd mixture OF
foreign customs and American innovations.
Especially is this the case in the homes of many
Of the diplomats from South and Central America,
where there many young people. These Pan
American Juveniles exchange presents as do their
American playmates and await with keen anticipa
ton the proverbial Christmas dinner but they also
show allegiance to the customs of their native
lands by attending at midnight on Christmas
Eve, and afterward paying homage at a miniature
representation of the city Of Bethlehem, the most
conspicuous place In which is occupied by grot-
to in which are tiny figures Of the infant Jesus,
and Joseph together with the three wise men. In
the homes of the Mexican diplomats there Is
followed novel plan for the distribution of the
Christmas presents All the gifts are placed in
huge earthenware jar which is suspended from the
ceiling and is then attacked by all the young peo-
pie armed with canes When the jar Is broken the
Christmas presents precpitated to the floor
and there is mad scramble for the mysterious
packages
The handsome new home of the French Embassy
at Washington will this year afford spacious set
ting for Christmas frolic that has become one OF
the important events of holiday week at the cap
ital. At the German Embassy likewise there is a
Christmas tree with tokens for all the young people
in the Embassy circle. while the British Ambassa.
dor entertains all the members of his official staff
and their families at an oldfashoned English
Christmas dinner.

The views were extremely interest

Christmas tree hereafter probably will be in evil
dence at the White House at every holiday. Mr..
Ia1t need have no scruples account Of forest
devastation because Clifford Pinchot formerly
chief forester Of the government, has said that
christmas trees enough can be cut to supply the
market demand without threatening the future
supply Mr. Pinchot believes in saving the trees,
and he would not have issued this statement with
out proper study Of the situation. He did not
give out his edict. however until the Roosevelt
FAMILY had left the executive mansion and while
the former chief forester is one of Colonel Roose-
velts intimate friends it is probable that the
Roosevelt children think that the verdict of Mr..
Pinchot on the tree question ought not to have
been so long delayed.
They play golf all winter in Washington, and If
perchance there Is snow on the ground they play

ball. red ball is conspicuous mark against a

Every employee of the White House receives
big Christmas turkey gift from the president
and his wife. Some of the White House house
hold servants and some of the members of the Of
fee force have been in the employment of presi-
dents through many administrations. Col. William
H. Crook, who is the executive clerk has been in
the service since Grants day and recently he
has written his "reminiscences of White House life
under eight presidents. Since the early Civil war
days there have been children In the White House
under nearly every administration, but whether
not there were children of the presidents own
families to gather about the fire and the Christ
mas tree, young people always found their way
into the White House circle to help their elders
celebrate the holiday.
