CATARRH OF THE KIDNEYS
 NOT ALWAYS RECOGNIZED
A Cold Settled in Kidneys, Causing Serious Trouble.
 Pe-ru-na Restores Health.
' ATARRH of the kidneys is a very much neglected disease.

~ ATARRH of the kidneys is a very V much neglected disease.
 It is not until the disease has a firm hold upon the kidneys that the patient begins to realize that there is some de- rangement of these organs.
 The slight backaches, the feelings of lasstude, and other warning symptoms of kidneys disease are overlooked.
 They are not serious enough to de- tain the patient from his regular work
 Even when he discovers that the kid neys are affected, he does not recognize the difficulty as being caused by ca tarrh.
 Catarrh is sometimes so very gradual in it's approach and it's earlier symp- toms cause such slight discomfort that it is not noticed.
 However, when it is once firmly seated in the kidneys it becomes diff ficult disease to exterminate.
 Indeed, catarrh of the kidneys is more serious than catarrh affecting some of the other organs of the body
 In the kidneys it is liable to ter nina te in Bright's Disease or diabetes, both of which are recognized as very serious ailments, if not fatal
 The thing to be done when a cold or catarrh of the kidneys is discovered is to take some internal, systemic ca tairh remedy, one that relieves the catarrhal disturbances and thus re- moves the cause of the difficulty
 Such a remedy has been found in Peruna. It relieves catarrh, no matter

Since there has been much said about home in one department of The Bulletin it may be of interest to read what kind of home an Englishman yearned for. His idea of home was "a place walled in with the world shut out, and yard room enough to go into and Screech without attra cting his neighbors or the police; the fool sat- isfaction of owning q few trees that were planted before ne was born, and that will flourish after he has gone; he wants hound pup to look at him adoringlY and wag his tail, and a cat to sit by the fire and look comforta ble; and young folks about. sparkling and sparkable: a place where they cook a whole ham at once, and have plenty of clean napkins, towels and table cloths; and in the springtime he wants hyacinths in the garden bor- der and fuzzy little chickens running about the lawn; and back porch and an agreeable neighbor so they can sit together and smoke and find fault with everything under the sun." This Eng lishman's ideal home appears much like a joke to some minds. It is clear that ideals vary so much that there is considerable humor in them.
 The man with theory in this world is very often missionary; and it is not always clear whether he is most
 
 ing draught upon your wallet I have always noticed that piety and business run together just like plant and animal life in nature, and the most skilful scientist cannot tell where the one begins or the other leaves off. No one will think of de- nying the fact that the motives of men are so often selfish that it is not easy to determine when they are pure or what their intent; or the fact that hundreds of thousands of dollars have been collected for the Lord for alleged honest and honorable purposes which were really used by the Dowies, schemes for personal glory which end ed just like every straight swindle. It is chiefly the good and honest peo- pie, the unsuspeeting. of this world, who are fieeced both righteously and unrighteously by rogues and incompe- tents of every stripe and profession, some of whom have rolled in millions and died in disgrace The man with a theory is always interesting: but it is well enough to be cautious in putting out cash to develop his ideas.
 Some peoples idea of getting on in life is to violate their promises be- cause they can make some more just as good. These may appear to be very short sighted people to you; but any oculst can tell yol that there are just as many short sighted as lon@- sighted people in the world. and that sight from a scientific standpoint is an unknown quantity anyway.

Some months ago little girl wrote

ing and we'll written. [ published it
and personally complimented the
child on her work; hoping that l had
discovered a young genius, budding
authOress. A little later to my sOr-
row, [ was told that the letter was
copied from a we'll known monthly
publication. "Once bit, twice shy.
Here comes another letter from a boy
or girl, who signs it can Old Friend.
No address is given. The letter is
neatly written with violet ink; the
style is that Of practical writer,
and the subject, "Where your Salary
comes from, is handled in q clever
professional way. The inference is
obvious that the letter was copied.
Now, let me say, once for all, that
don't want copied stuff, and emphat-
ically that I don't want anyone to
send it in as original matter That's
the same as stealing another persons
brains, which is just as bad as steal
ing his money,-even worse because
in most cases the author has no rem

story house, but the upper story has
not any rooms in it. The yards are
very level There are lots of trees
around, such as evergreens, sweet
gum and poplar. There are also
some cedars in front, near the road.
There is a large pecan tree out on
the right Of the house. 1t is nine
feet in circumference. 1t bears sew
raj bushels of pecans every year.
We have several small pecan trees.
There are two large ones that will
bear next year. They have to be
seven years old before they bear.
The orchard is out in the fields, on
the terraces. We have peaches, ap-
pies, pears and figs. We have not
any but box flowers. have a few rose
bushes in the front yard. My father
owns nine-hundred acres of land.

shipments from the Atlantic coast to
points in the Missouri river district
will be decided in accordance with
