CRYING FOR HELP
Lots Of It in Richmond, But Daily
Growing Less.
The kidnevs often cry for help

The kidneys often cry for help.
Not another organ in the whole
body more delicately constructed.
Not one more important to health
The kidneys are the filters of the
blood
When they fail the blood becomes
foul and poisonous.
There can be no health where there
is poisoned blood.
Backache is one of the frequent in
dications of kidney trouble.
1t is often the kidneys cry for help

Then as the women kept plying the
waiter with questions and talking
Goldsmith, Warren grew more res
tive.
Say, there is plenty of places in
London where YOU can get good food
without having to listen to all this
slush,' he fumed.
Just then from the room back of
the bar a mandolin orchestra began
to play. At this Warren snorted:
"Mandolin orchestra in the Cheshire
Cheese. Great Scott, that is the
limit"
Fortunately the waiter came up now
with their order, and Warren's atten
tiOn was diverted and his wrath some
what appeased by the pigeon pie

He dug into 1t with a fork and
shifted approvingly.
THAT looks pretty good. But, by
George, they OUGHT to give you good
food here if you put up With
But Helen interrupted any further
TRADE against the place by saying:
Dear, can't I have a smaller glass
for my ale. can't drink it from this
big mug. And | would like another
Napkin for she had spread hers OH
the bare table under her plate.
Warren usually grumbled about her
wanting a lot of extras, but he was
i now so intent in exploring the con-
tents of the pigeon pie that he ordered
the napkin and glass without COM
ment.
That's a pigeon pie, for you-the
real thing! Can't get a decent meat
pie in New York. Don't know how to
make EN- Just try that crust"
One of the mandolin musicians now
came through carrying his hat in
which he jingled few coins.
! The school teachers contributed
some coppers and then he paused at
Warren's elbow. Warren glanced at
the extended hat and then up at the
man with a curt:
whats that for?"
! "The-the music, SIR he STAN
mered
THE devil" roared Warren. How
much will you take to shut up and get
out?'
But the man had dscreetly disap-
peared.
Under the benign influence Of the
pigeon and the second mug of ale,
Warren gradually grew less churlish.
And by the time the toasted cheese
came he was so genial that Helen ven
tured a tentative:
Dear, while we are here, we ought
TO see it all. They might have some
interesting things upstairs"
"Oh, all right, we will 20 up if you
want to. Come on then, if we are
going. We want to beat those school
marms to it. l couldn't stand for
their comments"
They climbed up the steep, dark
stairs to the quaint old rooms above.
There was a DR.. Johnson desk which
; Warren shifted at as a fake. There
was copy of the first edition of Dr.
Johnson's dictionary, and some auto
sraphed letters which he inspected
with interest. There was also the
huge kettle in which they make the
famous beef steak pie every Wednes-
day during the winter.
But to Helen the rooms appealed
most. She loved the curious windows
and low, irregular ceilings.
Not SO bad" commented Warren as

he came down. That's the first edit
ion of the dictionary all right-and it
is worth lot of money
Encouraged by this, Helen ventured
to ask for one of the booklets.
1T is foolish, | know-but | should
like one to take home"
Better have some postcards with
it," he scoffed, but the derision was
good humored now. DO the thing
up right while you are at it,
"Well dear, it WASN'T such bad
place." declared Helen when they
finally came out on Fleet street.
"Oh, it is all right tolerantly.
Guess the food makes up for the
tourist slush. That pigeon pie was
great"

Helen read aloud the list for the day:

Warren, what is Chop Toad in

taking the order, Have that cheese

Then, as the waiter disappeared.
"There is LOT in knowing how to

Helen took up and glanced over

she slipped it into her pocket to send
