too frequently the child is punished.
Parents having children troubled with
kidney weakness would do well 10

in the back, discelored urine, irreg-
ular urination, headaches, dizzy spells

Perfectly Prepared.

Perfectly Prepared.
There was once a perfectly modern
girl,
With perfectly modern ways,
Who saw perfection in anything,
That happened to meet her gaze.
Such perfectly lovely things she saw,
And perfectly awful, too.
That none would have dared to doubt
her word,
So perfectly, perfectly true.
The weather, she said, in summer
time,
Was perfectly awful warm.
The winter was perfect, too, when
there came,
Some perfectly terrible storm.
She went to perfectly horrid school,
In a perfectly horrid town.
And the perfectly horrid teachers
there,
Did things up perfectly brown.
Her lessons were perfectly, fearfully
long,
But never were perfectly said,
And when she failed, as often she did,
Her face grew perfectly red.
The church she attended is perfectly
mag
With a perfectly heavenly spire,
And perfect crowds go there to hear
A perfectly stunning choir.
The latest style is perfectly sweet
The last the perfectest out,
The books she reads are perfectly
good,
(Just here we raise a doubt)
The perfectly elegant falls she had
| seen,
When on her way to the lake,
And the graphic description she gave
us ALL
Was simply a modern mistake.
The perfectly splendid foam dashed
up,
In a perfectly killing style,
And the perfectly terrible waves came
down
In a perfectly lovely pile.
might go on with the perfectly
poem,
And write to the end of time,
But fearing to wear your patience
out,
Will bring an end to my rhyme.

RATING BOOK OF M.& M.
 IN HANDS OF MEMBERS
Shows Record of Bill Paying Habits of
 10,e00 Persons in Phoenix.

Members of the Merchants & Manu- lecturers association during the past
 week have received copies of tiie new rating book of the association just from the press.
 Upon it's pages is the record of the payment of bills of 10,S00 persons who have at some time purchased or are now buying goods from the merchants "on time. TO many of the general
 buying public misunderstanding ex- ists as to the issuance of such pub lication and the association that issues it. The book is merely a convenient digest of information on file in the of flee of the secretary of the paying hab- it's of the customers of it's members. To a large majority of people, the in formation of record by the association is a recommendation. Then there is the ''sloW pay, always hard up. This is from as many causes as there are persons One has hard luck, sickness perhaps. and is merely behind tenn porarily Others, always living beyond their income, never having enough at any time to even up and start square. To the last two classes the merchant naturally gives the greatest considera tion, and must consider the circum- stances surrounding each individual case.
 Then there is the other class, some- times honest, sometimes otherwise, who
 can't or won't pay, with little or no prospect of doing so. They have been trusted by the merchants in good faith
 and proven themselves unworthy of the trust They are wholly undesirable
 customers and it is this class of citi- zens which cause the organization and maintenance of an association such as the Merchants & Manufacturers asso- ciation The system in use by this efficient credit rating institution has been found to be just and equitable to all. The as sociation is anxious to have it's infor- nation accurate and is always ready and willing to investigate any com plaints of rating referred to it.

Modern woodmen of America.

The executive council of the Mod ern Woodmen of America announces from Rock Island that it had aban doned it's fight for increased insur- ance rates and that the question will not be proposed at the national head camp meeting to be held in June at Toledo, Ohio, unless it originated from the membership. This ends a bitter fight that has been waged within the society since the increased rates ordered at the head camp meet ing in Chicago two years ago. Several months ago the society was enjoined by the courts for enforcing the new rates and it has since been operating under the old plan.
