The Comforts of Home.

All Of the comforts Of home" is an
expression frequently heard, but 70
many people it has no meaning what
ever. They must go away from home
to find any real comforts.
This is the sort Of home that the
children leave without regret, at the
first opportunity; and in which the
parents fnd no real Inspiration for a
better life. 1t is merely a stopping
place to eat and sleep
wv The first requisite OF Comfort
able" home is the right sort OF a
family spirit, but this can most cas-
lily be developed when aided by ma
terial surroundings.
Such things AZ good furniture,
agreeable rugs and carpets musical
instruments, and convenience that
tighten domestic duties, all play an
important part in the development
OF family spirit or home apprecia-
ton and contentment.

It is now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more at
tention as they control the other organs
to q remarkable degree and do ire
mendous amount of work in removing
the poisons and waste matter from the

During the winter months especially,
when we live an indoor life, the kid
neys should receive some assistance
when needed, as we take less exercise,
drink less water and often eat more
rich, heavy food. thereby forcing the
kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence OF kidney trouble
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles. smarting or burning, brick
dust sediment, sallow complexion
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action. warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately TO avoid
more serious trouble.
Many physicians claim that an herbal
medicine containing no minerals or
opiates has the most healing influence.

most remarkable success as kidney
