WHAT THE kIplEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps
 Us Strong and Healthy

All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidDeys filter the blood. They work night and day. When healthy they remove about 500 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 ptoms-~hich 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, 7s Bsttey street, Putnam, says: '.i 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 v
 Mrs. Mason is only one Of many Putnam people who have gratefully endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills.

 The British parliament. as consti- tuted at present, really dates from al1, when the powers of the lords were curtailed. though one may say it really originated in I25S.

GOOD ON LAND OR WATER
Sought by Inventors for Nua- Der of Years.

France held not long trgo a water gala. in which was q competition for land and watet cycles, but these ma chimes could not be used on water un- til they were partly dismantlea It has been left to an Englishman, H. G. Belbin, a Battersea workingman, to invent machine that can be ridden on land as well as water without any adjustment It is supported in the water by two hollow wooden floats, treated inside with tar 10 render them waterproof, which are adjusted by means of ribs fastened to a horizontal bar on the frame, just far enough apart to allow of free pedaling move ment, and high enough to keep clear of the ground when being ridden on land.
 The driving power Is supplied as on an ordinary cycle for land riding. and on water by an endless chain run ming over the driving wheel and on to a projecting framework to a gear ing which drives a small twc-bladed propeller.
 The steering is controlled by a shaped piece Of metal fastened to the front forks, one rib on each side of the front wheel. Recent demonstra- tions have proved that the machine Is perfectly safe and trectabie on both land and water. IT. C. Belbin cannot swim a stroke. but he was so confi- dent of the success of his machine that he crossed and recrossed the Thames.

A bit Of old London was saved from destruction recently when the London county council proposal for extending the uamway service from Aldgate along Manseil street and around Trinity square, was rejected by the house of lords. It was one Of Londons oldest inns, dating from Henry VIII-"the Crooked Billet that was saved from destruction.

'AGGLES WIN IN
CLOSE CONTEST

In one Of the most holly contested
games ever played in the "Y" gym
the Aggie basketball team took the
long end of the score from the "Y"
boys Saturday evening to the tune of
81 to %.
The game was nip and tuck all the
way through, until the last part Of the.
second half. when the Aggies spurted,
and gained a safe lead. The "Y" boys
made the first score, On a foul. The.
Aggies then negotiated a field goal,
and from that time On it was any
tody's game, almost until The final
whistle blew.
Although the "Y" boys were unable
to gain the lead again after that first
Eoint at the beginning of the game,
they stuck close to the Aggies, first
on side and then the other scoring,
and many of the spectators were in
doubt all through the game as to
which side was in the lead.
With the score 10 to 10, Baird, the
"Y" center, tried for a field goal. The
ball circlcd the edge of the basket
several times. and then dropped out
side. This probably defeated the "Y''
as the Aggies got the ball at once,
and rushed it down the floor for a

one.
The Aggies had practically a new
team for the second half. taking out
most of the men who played in the
first half. but in spite of this the "Y"
boys rushed the Aggies every minute
until the final whistle blew.
The Employed Boys team and a
High School class team played a pre-
liminary game, which resulted in an
easy victory for the employed boys.
