Operators are pretty wise players. as
a -ule. and they hit him almost as
often as they lost. But on the whole
Charley was ahead. Then. one day. a
friend put a five-dollar bill on four
horse parlay.
Il don't like to take this money"
Charley protested. Il don't know what
this parlay may pay If it goes through.
No way of getting the track odds here.
II you win. and l haven't enough
money on hand to settle. you'll have to
take it out of my pay, two dollars 8

The other fellow agreed-and the
foir-horse parlay went through. The
lucky bettor won $4,000 from Charley,
and spent $3.50 of his own money in
celebrating the event. Next day he
went around to collect.
This" said Charley, rs to be paid

According to the other bettor. the

GIN FOR THE KIDNEYS

Good, pure gin is splendid for the
kidneys, bladder and other urinary
organs when properly prescribed. A
leading physician gives the following
as the best and most reliable pre-
scription. Six ounces good, pure gin
half ounce nurax compound, half
ounce fluid extract buchu. Mix well
and take one TO two teaspoonfuls after
each meal and at bed time. All good
druggists have these ingredients.
This quickly cures backs ache, rheu-
matte pains and other we'll known
symptoms. Don't let weak or sick
kidneys go without treatment as
serious trouble may develop rapidly.
