Put That Pain TO Use

The network of nerves in your body,
like 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 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
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 Brights 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.

a REBELLION
Food Demanded.

The human body will stand lot of
abuse, but sometime it will surely re-
bel and demand proper food in place
of the pasty, starchy, greasy stuffs on
which it has been made sick.
Then is the time to try Grape-Nuts,
the most scientific and perfect food in
the world
lady of Washington says: Three
years ago l was very i'll with catarrh
of the stomach and was given up to
die by one doctor. l laid in bed four
months and my stomach was so weak
that / could not keep down medicine
or hardly any kind of food and was so
of this starvation that my daughter
could easily lift me from bed and put
me in my chair.
But weak as my stomach was, it
accepted, relished and digested Grape
Nuts without any difficulty the first
time that wonderful food was tried.
Il am now strong and in better
health than for great many years
and am gradually growing still
stronger. l rely on Grape-Nuts for
much of the nourishment that l get
The results have certainly been won

stomach is so weak it will not digest

DEFENDS POPULAR REMEDIES
Speaker Says Newspapers Should In
vestigate Merits of Medicines Be-
fore Barring Advertisements.

That an organized attempt has been
made to blacken the reputation Of the
popular family remedies of this, coun-
try, and to mislead the newspaper
publishers into rejecting the adver-
Using of such medicines, was the
charge made by Carl j. Balliett, OF
Buffalo, N. Y, at the convention of the
Advertising Affiliation at Detroit.
Mr.. Balliett Is director of the Pro-
prietary Association of America, which
includes in its membership two hun
dred firms which make the popular
prepared medicines of America.
Mr.. Balliett pointed out that 1t Is
the duty of the newspaper publisher
to refuse the advertising of any fake
or fraudulent medicine, just as it is
his duty to refuse any fake or fraudu-
lent advertising, but it is not right to
shut down on all medical advertising
because there have been some takers,
any more than it would be right to
refuse to publish all department store
advertising because certain stores
have made practice of lying about
bargain sales.
Disease and death are mysteries.
People who are perfectly well are
skeptical. They laugh at the time
worn patent medicine joke, just as
they laugh again and again over the
many variations Of the operation joke
THE operation was a success but
the patient died" This so-called hui
NOR has perhaps hurt the medicine
business with well people, but when
the hitherto healthy man feels a Sc
we're pain or illness, he Immediately
wants medicine, and will bless the
cure whether it be at the hands of
regular doctor, homeopath, an osteo-
path, a Christian Scientist or patent
medicine. There is nothing more
deadly than disease; nothing more
honorable than to cure it.
Mr.. Balliett refuted the idea sought
to be spread about that patent medi-
cines are unpopular by showing that
from 1900 10 1912 the amount of pre-
pared medicines consumed in America
increased from $100,0O0,000 to $780,
100000 annually. He showed that, al
though the American Medical Associ-
alton is trying as an organization to

in three egg whites beaten stiff and
freeze as usual
MarshmaIow Cream.-This is a most
delicious dessert which may be easily
made and takes the place of a frozen
dish. Cut half a pound of marshmal-
low in fourths, add to a cupful of
cream beaten stiff, and two stiffiy
beaten whites of eggs, one cupful of
walnut meats broken in bits, table
spoonful of powdered sugar and a
pinch of salt. Flavor with any de-
sired flavoring and serve in sherbet
cups Garnish with cubes of jelly or
with candied cherries
Filled Cookies.-To a half cupful of
shortening add a cupful Of sugar, one
egg and half cupful of sweet milk in
which one teaspoonful of soda is dis
solved Sift three and a half cupfuJs
of flour with two teaspoonfuls of cream
of tartar add teaspoonful of vanilla
and mix we'll, roll out thin and cut
with a cooky cutter. Cook a cupful
Of chopped raisins with half cupful
of water, tablespoonful of flour and

We heard a story the other day
avout a Cleveland minister of the
gospel who was giving the small son
of a neighbor an elementary lesson in
ethics, relates the Cleveland Plain
Dealer

exterminate so-called patent medi-
cines, the family doctor, individually.
Is not fighting them but prescribing
them. He estimated that 4Oqo of the
prescriptions written by doctors today
include proprietary medicines.
The writings Of DR.. Harvey w. Wa
ley, he said, have also aimed to de-
stroy confidence in proprietary medi-
cines; but that Dr. Wiley's ideas are
not infallible is shown by cases Where's
his analyses were entirely wrong. Mr..
Balliett mentioned a case where, with
all the power of the Government, he
fought preparation as being danger
Gus to health, and was ingloriouslY
walloped.
There has been spread the idea that
a clever faker can mix a few useless
ingredients and, by smart advertising,
sell tons of it and win sudden wealth 4
whereas, as a matter of fact, the medts
cine business is VIGOROUSLY difficult.
and, where there has been one success
at it, there have been hundred fail-
ures. Any medicine which has no
merit cannot live, because persons
who are duped into buying it once VIII
not buy it again, and the profit from
advertising a medicine can only come
from repeat sales to the same, satis-
fed people. Therefore, any medicines
which has been on the market for al
number of years, and is still adver@
tised, must have merit behind it to ac-
count for its success.
In concession Mr. Balliett declared
that no newspaper is doing justice to
it's readers in the matter of medical
or other advertising, unless it invests
gates, not only the wording of the adj
vertiSement offered for publications.
but the merits of the article adver]
tised He pointed out that the few
newspapers who have been deluded
into the policy of barring out medicaa
advertising have adopted this general
policy, rather than to form an inves-
tigation bureau of this kind which
could, in a constructive and useful eff
fort, investigate and decide what iS
good product and what is a fraud.
in not only the medicine business. buu
in every other business which adver-
tises it's wares to the public.
The audience seemed to agree with
Mr.. Ballett's ideas G. the subject and
the chairman decided the question al
issue in his favor.
