SERIOUS ERROR IN BUTLER
Butler Citizens Will do Well to Profit
by the Following.

Many fatal cases of kidney disease
have reached an incurable stage be-
cause the patient did not understand
the symptoms. Even today in Butler
there are many residents making the
same serious error. They attribute
their mysterious aches and pains to
overwork, or worry, perhaps, when
all the time their rheumatic pains,
backache and bladder irregularities
are most probably due to weak and
ailing kidneys. If you are i'll, if your
kidneys are out of order, profit by
this Butler residents experience.

ST., Butler, NO., says: 81 had a Sc
we're attack of kidney trouble and

me. Since then l have had no need

three times a day. All day he Just
lies around. Gentle sheep, pray
! tell me why in the pleasant fields you
lie." But in the evening that sheep
lamb frolic disposition comes over
him. He tried to play with the old
| hen and she screamed in horror at
such outrages. The cat seemed to
take more kindly, but her play was
not the rollickine, romping kind, but
the purring, paving sort. Then the
dog was asked to play but he always
snarled and snapped when the lambs
play time came. Some times the
boys would start off in a run from
the porch over the lawn to the de-
light of Be-elzebub.
When little boy blue (hickory
shirt and blue overalls) that looks
after the sheep" starts to fold the
sheep in the twilight, he whistles for
the dog and Be-elzebub comes along.
The dog scolds the lamb around the
house and lawn but through the horse
lot and hog lot he is his chaperon.
When bedtime comes that intuition
of sheep and shepherd comes over
him. Each night he is shut up in
the hen yard safe from night dogs
and not until dim dusk would he walk
to the gate and be lifted over the bot
tom board through the gate.
Be-elzebub has caused much amuse-
ment and very little bother, has been
very clean, possibly not yet infected
with internal parasites. So as the
weeks go by no one has regret he
shared his supper with the outcast.
