WHAT The KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy

All the blood in the body passes
through the Kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains of
impure matter daily, when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left in
the blood. This brings on many diseases
and symptoms pain in the back, head
ache, nervousness: hot, dry skin, rheu-
matte pains, gout, gravel, disorders of
the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, ir-
regular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But
If you keep the filters right you will have
no trouble with your kidneys.

ther, says the Metropolitan, and in.
timated that the men concerned in
divorce cases. as respondents or as
correspondents, would be regarded
with disfavor in the highest quarters.
Queen Victoria never visited her
displeasures on the men implicated In
divorce cases, save in the solitary in.
stance Of Sir Charles Dixie. Indeed
several OF her most famous and most
trusted ministers, such as. for In
stance, Lord Melbourne, Lord Palmer
ston and the now octogenarian Lord
Llandaff. were mixed up in all sorts
OF divorce cases, without ever forfeit
ing either their Office or her good
will.
Both King George and Queen
Mary, however. found that 1t was
quite impossible to put their avowed
Intentions into practice. They could
not exclude divorced women from
their court unless they barred there
from the kings own first cousins,
Grand Duchess Cyril Of Russia and
Princess Louise Of Schleswig-Hol-
stein, as we'll as host Of other royal
and imperial foreign personages

In Russia divorce was condemned
formerly both by the court and by So
ciety. Moreover, 1t was extremely
difficult to accomplish, being granted
only on the grounds which would
suffice to secure q decree of nullity
from English and American tribunals,
or else for infidelity. But in the lat
ter case the legal conditions were ex-
acting and the cost of suit SO ex-
pensive that demands for the dissolu-
ton Of marriage ties were few and
far between.
Now, however, the situation has
entirely changed. Divorces have be-
come frequent in Russian society, and
despite the objections of the en-
peror and Of his Hessian born but
English bred consort, the court has
had to open its doors. Thus the wife

Fly Repel1ant.

1t is difficult to have COWS that will
during fly time on the best of pastures
unless means are provided to keep
flies from Fostering the COWS. The
same holds true with calves and beef
cattle nd equally we'll with the farm
horse. The wise dairymen and stock
men will provide some means for
batting these pests He may hear
of some home mixture and in making
the concoction up get it too strong
and do more injury then good, often
blistering the skin and endangering
the life of the animals. The follow
ing of directions in applying fly
repellants is important. The brands
that are now offered on the market
are ones that have been tried out and
proved successful. The right way is
the surest and good fly repellant
properly prepared is the one to use.
A known strength in the fly killer in
the hands of the farmer means a
profitable Investment. The use of a
fly repellant once or twice day is
practical, humane and economical.
1t takes but few minutes to apply
fly repellant to herd of COWS and
the result means added comfort and
quantity to the milk pail. Our
readers should remember that kind
ness and comfort count for much in
the handling of live stock. Fly time
is here. Get after the flies and note
the profitable returns by protecting
your stock in the right way. The
expense is slight and it will pay.
