"NfRvES"-A FAULT OR A DISEASE?

Much OF the nervousness, worrl-

due to weakened Kidneys.
Good kidneys drive a large
amount OF uric products out of the

Irritating. and when in excess, It
attacks the weakest parts first.
Nerve troubles are more common
than in years gone by. Civilization
has brought a heavier strain on the
brain and nerves. The nervous sys-

Tickets, please"
She began to ransack her reticule
with flurried haste, taking out Of 1t
small purse, opening that, closing 1T,
putting 1t back, taking it out, search
ing the reticule through, turning out
a handkerchief, few hairpins, few
trunk keys, baggage check, bot
tie of salts, card or two and nu-
merous other maideniy articles, re-
storing them to place, looking in the
purse again, restoring that, closing
the reticule, setting it down, shaking
out a book she carried, opening her
old valise, going through certain
white things blushingly, closing 1t
again, shaking her skirts, and shaking
her head in bewilderment.
She was about to open the reticule
again. when the porter exclaimed:

When she cast up her eyes in de-
spair, her hatbrim had been elevated
enough to disclose the whereabouts
of the tickets. With murmured
apology, he removed them from her
teeth and held them under the light.

luckily escaped.

The words and the breath that car.

an instant proof that her vis-avis did
not share her prohibition principles

elephant regarded the mouse with
