Put That Pain to Use

The network Of nerves in your body.
IKE the network of wires in a burglar
alarm system, gives quick warning
Wnen anything is going wrong inside.
Looking at 1t in this way a pain is
q useful alarm. Now, kidney weak
ness is a dangerous thing-a condition
no to be neglected-and it is wise
TO know and pay attention to the early
alarm signals of sick kidneys.
Backache Is a common warning OF
congestion or inflammation in the kid
neys. 1t may be dull, nagging pain, or
q sharp twinge when STOPPING or lift
Ing. There are likely to be disorders
OF urination, dizziness, headaches, and
drowsy, Respondent, tired feelings.
II is very hard to strengthen weak
Kidneys at first, but neglect invites
rheumatic or neuralgia attacks, gravel,
dropsy, and fatal Bright's disease.
AS a specie Medicine for weak kid
neys Doan's iney 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

TWO WAYS TO LOOK AT IT
IT Customer Was In Luck In Getting
Hat to Fit Him, How About the
Shop Keeper?

After playing a matinee perform
ance recently in Omaha, relates a
popular actor, / discovered my hat
was missing from my dressing room.
This was really a serious loss, for,
being possessed Of an exceptionally
large head, 1t is not unusually neces-
sary for me to visit every hat shop in
the town before I can find a hat to fit.
Finally. after a lot of effort and deter
mination, | found a hat shop where
they had just one hat that would fit
me, | inquired the price Of 1t, and the
shop keeper answered with an en-
couraging smile that it was five dol
lars. 1t struck me that the hat wasn't
worth that, being somewhat out of
date, l offered him two and a half.
Two and a half" he exclaimed,
struggling his shoulders. why, you
ought to be mighty glad to get that
even for five dollars. Where will you
be able to find a hat large enough to
fit your head?"
"That may be true" I answered,
"but where will you be able to find a
head large enough to fit your hat?"
/ got the hat for two and a half.

FABLE THAT CARRIES MORAL
Comparison of Lusty FaIsehood With
Certain Gloss of Truths la
Worth Consideration.


A fox that was caught In a farmers
hen coop concluded that prevarication
might save him. In response to the
farmers query as to what he meant
by stealing chickens, the fox said: II
never stole chickens in my life. I'm a
vegetarian"
What were you doing in my hen
coop?"
Il merely stopped here to talk about
the war from a perfectly neutral stand
point"
But how about that dead and half
eaten chicken? Perhaps you know
nothing about that?"
But do, though" said the fox. "A
mink did that. He ran away at your
approach. I would have left, too, but
the smell Of fresh blood made me sick
and faint"
When the farmer regained con-
seriousness the fox was gone and SO
was another fat hen.
Moral: An athletic falsehood is bet
ter than a kindergarten truth.

Who wrote the ode. Rule Britain
MAJ" No doubt nearly vryone will
answer, James Thomson, and I dare
say that is the correct answer, says the
writer of Sub Rosa in the Daily
News and Leader Qondon). But there
have been disputes about this, for the
ode forms part Of a mask dealing with
the fortunes Of Alfred the Great, and
written by James Thomson and David
Mallet in collaboration. and there have
been people who have contended that
Thomson does not deserve tho sole
credit. We are indebted to a certain
extent to Frederick, Prince of Wales.
son Of George II. and father Of George
III, for the renowned ode. George II
had no real British s~ympathies, and in
those days 1T was customary for q
Prince Of Wales to hold and express
views opposite to those Of his father
and so Frederick was markedly pro-
British in his tastes. He lived at Chef
den. on the Thames. and he resolved
to give a splendid entertainment there
In honor of the accession of the House
Of Honover n also to celebrate the
birthday Of his little daughter, Princess
Augusta. So he called to his aid David
Mallet, James Thomson, and also John
Rich, who was a famous and success
full actor manager, and they were set
to work to produce something worthy
Of h occasion.
It was on Friday, August 1, 174o, that
the mask Alfred" was odu at
Cliefden. The famous ode was sung in
worthy style when heard for the first
time, as the solo was taken by Thomas
Lowe. of whom the celebrated DR.. Bur
ney has said. Love has the finest
tenor voice I ever heard in my life"
And when at the end OF each of the six
stanzas the chorus broke in with the
refrain those who were present knew
that they had heard something that

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

years ago I was very i'll with catarrh
OF the stomach and was given up to
die by n doctor. I laid in bed four
months and my stomach was SO weak
that I could not keep down medicine
or hardly any kind Of food and was SO
weak and emaciated after four months
OF this starvation that my daughter
could easily lift mo 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.
