I've not met many idle rich
Most folks know with money
Keep on the Job to take the stitch
In time. But, 1t is funny,
Just loafing round the village store
I've seen lot of idle poor.
I've seen them sit and whittle things
For hour after hour
And curse their luck with mutterings
Against the Money Power.
And swear the thing which kept them
poor
Was that some other folks had more
Their wives are taking washing In
To keep the wolf from biting,
While they would gather there to spin
Sad yarns about the sighting
Which they still got from cruel fate.
Though bravely they would sit and
wait.
And I can't help but often think
That all long-winded shirkers
Would have less crouch and far more
chink
II they were only workers.
For Better Times wont strike their
gait
For those who're sitting while they
wait.-Kansas City Star.

Cleans Blood
Through Kidneys
A Most Important Func-
ton and One to be Care
fully Guarded.

The purpose Of the kidneys being to
filter the blood the question OF treating
supposed kidney weakness should be con-
sidered carefully. Instead of drugs and
alleged kidney stimulants the better plan
is to purify the blood with an antidotal
effect such as you get from 8. s. s.
1t should be remembered that the kid
neys are made up Of a fine net work of
blood vessels, and it is to stimulate the
functional activity OF kidney tissue
through this capillary net work that
S. 8. S. shows one Of its most remarkable
effects.
The medicinal value OF the components
of s. s. s. are relatively just as vital to
healthy kidney action as the nutriment
obtained from grain. meat. fats, sugars.
or any other part of our daily food Is to
the natural reconstructive requirements
of the tissues. And there Is one com
ponent OF S. S. S. which serves the active
purpose of stimulating the cellular tissues
of the kidneys to O healthy and judicious
selection Of its own essential nutriment
Thus. in cases Of rheumatism. cystitis
chronic sore throat. huskiness Of voice
bronchitis. asthma, and the myriad Of
action, first purity your blood with s. 8. 8
SO it win enable the tissues to rebuild
their cellular strength and regain thet
normal health
You can get s. s. S. at any drug store
but take no other so-called blood purifier
s. S. 8. is purely d botanical product
and you win make great mistake t
have some enthusiast palm on a mer
curry. arsenic or iodide Of potash prepare
