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 300 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, nervousness, 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. Joseph Mason, 78 Battey street, Putnam, says: 1s1 suffered severely from lame back and other symptoms of disordered kidneys Doan's Kidney Pills did me more good than any other remedy 1 ever used, removing the pains and aches and making my kid news normal. Another Of my family got great benefit from this remedy.p
 Mrs. Mason is only one Of many Putnam people who have gratefully endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your back aches-if your kidneys bother you don't simply ask for kid ney remedy-ask distinctly for Deans Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs. Ma son had-.he remedy backed by home testimony.

Not Troubled by His Mall.

Former Senator Aldrich used to hold the record for disregard of custom and the casual amenities in the matter of replying to letters. Sometimes he wouldn't even bother to open his mail for days at time. And it made no difference if the mail happened to in. clude invitations to dinner or other propositions calling for an immediate reply One day a friend in Providence wrote to Aldrich askiug for an ap- pointment to talk over number of mutual concerns. No reply from Ald- rich. The friend then sent telegram. Now, wire message usually got at tention even from Aldrich and in a few hours the Providence man got word to come ahead. When he reached Aldrich's library, the man saw his letter lying on the table unopened
 You haven't opened my letter" he remarked.
 No. yawned Aldrich. q haven't opened any mail for nearly week."

BLAME PLACED ON WOMEN
Claim Is Made That They "Set the Pace" for the Mad Social Sea
 son in London.

The London season just before the and social leader as q season of dementia.. Look at the women dress ing, or undressing" said he, "in a fash ion that makes every right-minded man blush for them. Look at the rage for Russian ballet which Is purely sensual satisfactionl The suffragettes are not any madder than the rest of the women of London" Mir Philip Gibbs, an English novelist and jour nalist, charaeterizes the season as the gayest and most sensational in living memory. and says: "lt was the women who set the pace. At the very beginning of the season it was obvious that they were out for sen sation. for audacity. for a splendid time at all costs" This description of society at the great English me tropolis is not altogether inapplicable to social life in cities. big and little. in this country There is the same extravaganza in entertaining. the lib erty in dress, the same mania for a new sensation, the same lack of re- straint. And Mir. Gibbs is right when he says 1t is woman who sets the pace" Women have not only al- lowed this era of madness to have full swing. but have been the leading spirits in it.
 What will the harvest be, when the young people who are now being ush- cred into social life under such a regime themselves arrive at the age when they will set the pace for oth- ers,--Leslie's.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MOLE
Meaning for It. Wherever It Appeared.

According to a very old superstition every mole possesses a special signie- canoe. depending on the part of the body on which 1t appears Thus a mole on the right cheek Is said to signify happiness in love affairs. while on the left promises an early mar riage.
 A mole on the left cheek or left arm signifies adverse fortune. par ticularly as regards love affairs. On the left hand, the possession of a mole hetokens an unfortunate (from the worldly point of view) marriage.
 Moles on the right cheek or arm, in combination with one or more on the left hand point 10 more good fortune in love affairs than in money matters. A mole at the corner of the right eye predicts a rich and indulgent husband.
 A mole on the right side of the chin shows good fortune. long life and a happy marriage. A mole on the chin, if it be light yellow in color. shows a woman to be a geod house wife. If brown in color it portends happy married life. but possibly trou- hlesome children.
 X mole in that unusual position, the tip of the nose. shows that the owner. if woman, is likely to excite much admiration. but in consequence at tract very jealous lovers. She must therefore be very careful end exercise caution and discretion in her dealings with all her admirers.
 A sure sign of health. present or future, is to have a mole at the right hand corner of ones mouth. On the other hand mole at the left-hand corner of the mouth is warning to it's owner to beware of treaehery and of a false lover.
