Samson Ready to
Organize Brass Band
For Old King Ak

Twelve band instruments were pre-
scented to Samson of Ak-Sar-Ben last
week by the Pennsylvania delegation to
the Travellers Protective association
convention. These are the bogus cor
nets, baratones. and other instruments
that go to make up a band. They are
the pieces with which the Pennsylvania
delegation band entertained OmaHa dur
ing the parade last Monday. Anyone
can play them. and that is the beauty
of ii. for Dad Weaver. and Miss Edythe
Maloney, his secretary, never were much
OF musicians until those instruments en-
tered the shop. After that these two,
together with visitors at 1717 Douglas
street, disturbed the noighborhood with
suoh plaintive walls as, Go Tell Aunt
Rhody," and Johnnie Get Your Cum
until they were threatened by the police.
Samson was mighty glad to get the in
struments. If he can't make use of them
at the Den, then. there is no use for
them this side of the planet Mars. The
Pennsylvania delegation also presented
Samson with about forty white helmets

GET NEW KIDNEYS !

The kidneys are the most ovcrworl,td
organs OF the human body, and when
they fail in their work Of filtering out
and throwing off the poisons developed
in the system, things begin TO happen.
One of tho first warnings is pain or
stiffness In the lower part of the back
highly colored urine; loss OF appetite
indigestion; irritation, or even stone IN
the bladder. These symptoms indicate
a condition that may lead to that dread
ed and fatal malady, Brights Disease,
for which there is said to be no cure.
You can almost certainly find immed-
ate relief In GOLD MEDAL Haarlem
oil Capsules. For more than 900 years
this famous preparation has been an un-
falling remedy for all kidney, bladder
and urinary troubles. Get II at any drug
