SICK KIDNEYS ACT FINE AND
BACKACHE SIMPLY VANISHES.

The most effective and harmless
way to cure backache and regulate
out-of-order kidneys, or end bladder
trouble Is to take several doses of
Bloodine Blood and Kidney Tablets.
You will distinctly feel that your
kidneys and urinary organs are be-
ing cleaned, healed and vitalized and
all the miserable symptoms such as
backhead, headache, nervousness,
rheumatism and darting pains, in
famed or swollen eyelids, irritability
or suppressed, painful or frequent
urination ESPECIALLY at night) and
other distress, leaving after taking
the first few doses.
The moment you suspect any kid
ney or urinary disorder, or rheuma-
tism, begin taking this harmless
preparation as directed, with the
knowledge that there is no other
medicine, at any price, made any
where else in the world which will
effect so thoroughly and prompt a
cure as a fifty-cent box of Bloodine

ROOM WITH GLASS FLOOR.
American Artists Decorative Scheme
For an Aeroplane Illusion.

Montfort Coolidge, New York paint
er in Paris, has evolved a novel idea
Of room decoration for the villa Of
Count Gabbi, a young and wealthy avi
ator at Rimini, Italy. The panels will
represent landscapes of southern Eu-
rope as seen from an aeroplane.
The ceiling OF the room will be col
Ored to resemble the sky, while in the
middle Of the floor will be set large
panel of glass. Some distance below
the glass and lighted electrically from
the sides will be fixed n painting re-
sembllng the Italian Alps seen from
an immense height.
The illusion OF flying in an aeroplane
will thus be given to the occupants OF
the room, which will be used for mu-
steal entertainments. This remarkable
scheme has, II is asserted, sound arts
tic principles. Mr.. Coolidge explains
that the paintings being below the
level Of the eye, 1t can be enjoyed in
comfort while listening TO the music,
but a decorated ceiling is far too high
to be properly appreciated in these cir
cumstances.
Mr.. Coolidge asserts that this idea is
a development Of the methods OF the
Romans, who adorned their floors. as
well as their walls, with mosaics.

PLEADS FOR THE SKUNK.
Living's High Cost Reduced by It's
Efforts, Zoologist Says.

While the importation OF elk into
Pennsylvania has caused hunters to
awaken to the fact that there are no
laws that prohibit the killing Of these
animals, because there has not been for
many years an elk in the states for
ests, Economic Zoologist II. A. Surface
suggests that the game laws should be
extended to provide protection for an
animal which to his mind Is even more
important. 1t is the skunk.
There is no animal more valuable
than the skunk" said DR.. Surface.
"The economic aspect OF the utility
OF the skunk was well illustrated this
year by the potato crop. II the state
had enough skunks potatoes would be
selling at reasonable prices. The
skunk, in a measure. will help solve the
high cost Of living.
'"The skunk likes white grubs, and
they never were more plentiful than
this year The grubs have done much
damage. They are the larvae Of the
May beetle, or June bug. These grubs
eat the roots off grass and attack the
roots OF the potatoes.
with more skunks there would have
been fewer grubs, and potatoes would
not be selling at 90 cents a bushel."
