The function of vines and climbing

will not go far wrong. from an ar
tistic standpoint. The truth is that
good vines are almost always in har-
mony. no matter where they are
placed. Use them freely where you
have a bare place.
Many an untidy fence can be made
into a bower Of delight by properly
placed vines. The honeysuckles, wood

Lives Without Kidneys.

Russell. the fourteen-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. X. NJ. Edwards OF Free
port. L. l.. is living without the use OF
his kidneys. They have been destroy
ed. physicians say. by scarlet fever.
Eight weeks ago the boy became Ill.
A physician treated him for a cold,
but when he became worse another
doctor was called. who said he was
suffering from scarlet fever in an sd-
vanced stage. The physician declared
the disease had settled in the boys
kidneys. which had been practically
destroyed.
Since this diagnosis the lad has been
studied by many physicians. for his
condition is said to be unique The
doctors say they cannot see how the
youngster can survive long.

Al King, Are You There 2

Ther are Americans. no doubt, who
would p soon call up King George v.
on thYtelephone as John Smith. but
in Ertland no normal person who was
not privileged would attempt the au-
dacity. Whether or not the story is
true that a militant sufiragette. repre-
senins herself as the duchess Of Fife,
gave the royal number, which is sup
posed to be carefully guarded secret,
and actually had audience with his
majesty with the receiver in his rev
erend hand. it might well be true. for
the militants stop at nothing.
Heckling the king over the telephone
is not brilliant conception; In fact.
rather ordinary. but a story that
George had been tricked into talking
with bold militant would be a fine
advertisement Of the cause-they
would call 1t ripping in England.

out as soon as they have fruited. At
