Thin Blood Causes Backache

Every muscle in the body needs a
supply of rich, red blood in proportion
to the work 1t does.
The muscles of the back are under
heavy strain and have but little rest.
When the blood is thin they lack nour-
ishment and rebel. The result is q
sensation of pain in those muscles.
The best medical authorities agree
that backache seldom or never means
kidney trouble. Real organic kidney
disease may have progressed to a
critical point without developing a
pain in the back. Doctors detect its
presence by the excretions Of the kid
neys themselves.
Pains in the back should always
lead the sufferer to look to the condi-
tion of the blood 1t will be found in
most cases that the use of DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills to build up the blood
will stop the grumbling OF the ILL
nourished muscles of the back. How
much better it is to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the blood than to give
way to unreasonable alarm about YOUR
kidneys. If you suspect your kidneys,
any doctor can make tests In ten min
utes that will set your fears at rest or
tell you the worst.
All druggists sell DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. free book, Building Up the
Blood will be sent on request by the

Babes Not Allowed to Be
Carried by Parcel Post

Washington, D. c., Feb. 13.-Babies
are not mailable. The Post ONCE De-
partment so holds in an edict to-day
barring them from the parcel post.
The question arose over a request by
the postmaster at Stratford, Okla, for
ruling by the department as to
whether a patron of his office could
send a 2-year- child by parcel post
from Twin Falls. Idaho. to Stratford.
The postmaster was greatly puzzled
because he could find nothing in the
regulations covering such a case. So
he referred 1t to the Post Office De-
partment.
Second Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Stewart decided that all human
beings and live animals are barred
from the malls. The one exception
however, is the queen bee, which is
the only living creature that can enjoy
the privileges of the parcel post.

Birds A. LARGE Eaters.

It may not be thought that Of all an
finals birds are among the largest eat
ers. This means. OF course. in proper
ton to their weight. Some birds are
known to consume two and one-half
times their weight of food in twenty
four hours. The heron. which has a
light weight Of four pounds in spite Of
It's size. is a striking example. One
was lately caught which had just
swallowed two trout OF one and one
half and two pounds. Wild pigeons
are among the foremost eaters, and
they make a most copiOus repast
whenever an abundance OF food Is
found. Thus a single pigeon picked
up q thousand grains Of wheat In one
day.-Scientifc American.
