The network OF nerves in your body,
dke the network of wires in burglar
alarm system, gives quick warning
when anything Is going wrong inside.
Looking at it in this way a pain is
. useful alarm. Now. kidney weak
ness is a dangerous thing-a condition
not to be neglected-and it is wise
to know and pay attention to the early
alarm signals of sick kidneys.
Backache is common warning of
congestion or Inflammation in the kid
neys. 1t may be dull, nagging pain. or
a sharp twinge when STOPPING or lift
ing. There are likely to be disorders
OF urination, dizziness. headaches, and
drowsy, respondent, tired feelings.
1t is very hard to strengthen weak
kidneys at first, but neglect invites
rheumatic or neuralgia attacks, gravel.
dropsy, and fatal Bright's disease.
AS special medicine for weak kid
neys Doan's Kidney Pills have been
used for years all over the civilized
world, and surely are considered reli-
able. The patient can always help the
medicine immensely, however, by diet
ing lightly, using little or no liquor,
tea or coffee, keeping regular hours
and drinking lots of pure water.

many letters ] have received.
These letters have come from al
most every State in the Union
and from all classes and conditions
of life-bishops. judges, doctors.
lawyers. members of the under
world-all have expressed their
opinion. All these letters show
that each class, in the last
analysis. has its own contribution
to make to the highest code of
morals.
Many of these letters are from
the women of the underworld. In
all of them they justify their ex-
istence. either because of the
necessity of the case or else be-
PEOPLE who are doing something
that the world thinks is per-
missible. but which is really just
as unethical as what they are

Words of Commendation.
To exploit a girl in a factory is
bad. as well as in a house of shame.
but because it is done i'm one does
not Justify its being done in either.
1t is possible to live without explicit
ing girls anywhere. There are mis-
tresses who are just as considerate
and as much interested i'm their
maids as In their own daughters:
there are manufacturers also who
consider the welfare of their work
ers as much as Is possible
The great difference in the exploit
tation Of girl in other lines is that
no stain is left upon the girls life
by this exploitation. II she is for
tunate to find better place to
work. she can accept it. Put this is
not So IL she has been exploited in a
house Of sin. That fact is terrible
handicap for her to carry. Hence
the exploitation projects itself into
the future Of the girl.

commendation for the articles.
