What the Kidneys Do
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
which vary widely but may include
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatic pains,
gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight
and hearing, dizziness, irregular
heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy,
deposits in the urine, etc. But if you
keep the filters right the danger is
overcome. Doan's Kidney Pills have
proven an effective kidney medicine.
Mrs. Lyons, 125 st. Clair St., Ma
rine City, Mich, says: ~ suffered for
some time from backache and pains
in my kidneys and often was ner-
vous and dizzy. 1 didn't sleep well
and when l got up in the morning, l
was tired and my back was lame. The
kidney secretions also bothered me.
Finally, / used Doan's Kidney Pills
and they relieved me at. once, so 1
kept on until was cured"
ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney pills-the same that Mrs. Lyons
had. Foster Milburn Co, Props, Buffalo.

Sunday, August End, will be red
letter day in the history of Toledo.
On that date two of it's sons, who
have done more than any other ma
tive Toledoans to put the city of the
Maumee on the map of this coun-
try, will return to give an eXhibi-
tion of their prowess before the home
folks. These two men are Barney
Oldfield, peerless auto race driver,
and Lincoln Beachey, renowned the
world over as the most daring and
sensational aviator of the age. These
two men will give a combined pro-
gram on the afternoon of August 2
that is guaranteed to make the hair
stand on end on the head of each and
every spectator.
For years Barney Oldfeld held the
worlds speed records in an automo-
bile, prior to his suspension by the
Automobile Association of America.
Since his return into the good graces
of that organization he has once more
retrieved many of his laurels which
| he lost for the time being, his latest
achievement being the winning OF
I fifth prize in the famous international
speedway race at Indianapolis in
May 30. Barney was the first Amerl-
can driver TO finish in that grind.
Beachey has been connected with
the aviation game for years, first as
balloonist and now as aeroplane

SINGING HENS RETRAY THIEVES
Poultry Fancier Plays Flute to Hia
Chickens, Teaching Them to
Mimic the Notes.


Mt. Vernon, Ohio-To the average
fancier the only song of the hen that
is considered musical is the cackling
which follows the appearance of an
egg in nest and there would be no
melody in 1t except that it means the
jingling of silver coins later on. But
Rollin c. Curtis of this town has q
flock of Orpingtons which trill and
sing as well as the most industrious
mocking birds.
Curtis taught his fowls the notes
they use in their songs by playing a
flute in their nesting place each morn
ing. His neighbors said he was fool.
ish, but he demonstrated that his pa
tience had not been wasted when he
recovered the hens which had been
stolen.
Twenty-Five of the hens were taker
from his henhouse one dark night
Chief of Police Parker was informed
of the accomplishment of the hens and
recovered them when he heard theiI
melodious voices in barn ten blocks
from the Curtis home. The thieves
were arrested.

Wine, Woman and Song
(From Judge)

A man called upon physician for
advice. The physician diagnosed the
case as one Of nerves and prescribed
accordingly. The fee was five dollars
and the prescription two dollars. The
man had only FIVE dollars. He said
to the physician:
DOC. five dollars is all have. Lend
me two dollars and I'll have the pre-
Scription filed"
The physician gezed at the man for
a moment, then said, 81 have made a
mistake in my diagnosis. Your nerve

driver. For years he performed the
regulation stunts of the aeronaut, but
since his wonderful death-dip out OF
the clouds on the coast he has de-
veloped several flying feats that are
said to cause the hearts of the spec
tators to leap into their throats.
Since his famous perpendicular drop
OF thousands of feet, only to alight
upright, Beachey has developed a
loop -the-loop stunt that is nothing
short of miraculous.
Not satisfied with this, he started
his Incompatible feat of flying up
side down, which achievement has
been copiel with varied success in
Europe.
These two men will be in Toledo
for a joint exhibition of their skill,
Oldfield in some thrilling dashes
against time on the Toledo track, and
Beachey in the execution of his
death-tempting performances, wind
ing up the days program with a
race against each other over the half
mile course, that is said to be an as
founding achievement in itself. In
this race, instead of flying high in
the air, as most of the aviators do in
similar races, Beachey goes around
the track just a few feet from the
ground, scarcely enough to clear his
bottom wheels, and takes the turns
with his planes practically upright.

PIPE Line WALKING LONELY JOB
Nothing to Do but Watch and Listen
for Breaks in Natural Gas Mains
Across Prairie.

Caney, Kan.-'The life of a sheep
herder, generally thought to be the
lonehest of all. is gay by comparison
with the existence Of the pipe line
walker"
Pipe lines carry natural gas to the
cities of Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri
and other states, where 1t Is employed
for Illuminating and heating purposes
and for supplying certain industries
with cheap fuel. These pipe lines radi-
ate in all directions from the gas cen
ters, and it is absolutely necessary
that the pressure be maintained
The greatest menace, therefore, TO
the proper pressure is leakage in the
pipes. To guard against these breaks
there areenlisted the watchful services
of several hundred men. These patrol
men must rise at daylight and go their
rounds. They walk and walk, and
walk until darkness comes looking for
trouble"
The lines are divided into sections
of twelve or fifteen miles, man being
detailed to watch a section. 1t is his
duty TO walk from one end of that sec
ton to the other, returning the SAINT
day. There is nothing TO do but walk
and listen, and the pay is about 500
month. Still few men care to retain
the job for long, since it "gets upon
the nerves.
Should a break be found the walker
hastens to the nearest telephone TO
send in hurry call" for the repair
max If no break be found, the walker
fills out his report to that effect
It has been pointed cut that, while
the sheep herder has his dogs and his
sheep to "keep him company the
pipeline walker has nothing to break
the t+:-rible monotony of his job of
walking and listening" 1t must be
remembered that the pipe line follows
neither the railway nor the wagon
road; it proceeds in "bee line
straight across country, allowing only
for elevations, which it usually skirts
But hills are few and far between in
the prairie region The result is that
the pipe line walker is practically
alone from the time he rises until he
turns in for the night.
After a time the work begins to
peal. One sees, walking and sleeping
the same blur of trees and land, land
and trees, until he begins TO forget
the rest of the world and the people
and things he has known. 1t has been
said that most patrolmen quit the Jot
before they reach the point when they
forget their own names.
Not the least uncanny feature OF the
pipe line walkers existence lies in the
fact that his ear must be constantly
strained for leaks. These leaks betraJ
their presence through peculiar hiss
ing ssound, the detection of which is
the sole purpose in life of the pipe
patrolmen Every time the trees rus

there is a break ahead. Every dron'

YEARS OF SILENCE ENDED
For Fifteen Years Brothers Live, Play

say to hired hand, even though Jo-
seph were within few feet of him.
"Tell Bob am going because there
is some private business l want to see

the same medium.
During their resting hours and
through the long winter evenings the
two played cards together, but each

Denver, Colo.-After fifteen years Of
hard work on cube puzzle, N. n
swanson has finished 1t, He has spent
one.third of his life experimenting with
his invention-htriyt bits OF wood that
tit together. Each piece is locked py
one or more pieces. To pat the puzzle
together or take it apart the various
locks must work in harmony and the
pieces must ft into each other.
"I believe that have the most IN
tricate puzzle ever invented" SAID
Swanson, "for to put 1t together OF
to take it apart one must know the
thirty pieces as he knows his alphabet;
that is, he must recognize each pieoo
Then he must know how the lock come
to press this or that piece so that IL
will operate upon another.
81 believe that am safe In saying
that there is no man who can take II
apart and put it together within TWEEN

It. 1t is a puzzle that will puzzle any
enthusiast"
