He Removed the
Danger Signal

81 suffered a long time with
a very weak back" writes Fred
Smith, 325 Main St, Green Bay, Wis.
"a few boxes OF Foley Kidney Pills
completely relieved me OF all soreness
and pain in the back, and now / am
as strong and well as ever.
One cannot help becoming nervous
and feeling tired and worn out when
the kidneys fail to filter and throw
out OF the system the poisonous waste
matter that causes kidney troubles
and bladder ailments.
Backache is one OF Natures danger
signals that the kidneys are clogged
up and inactive. IL is often followed
by rheumatism. annoying bladder or
urinary disorders, puffy swellings
under the eyes. swollen ankles and
painful joints.
Foley Kidney Pills get right ar the
source OF trouble. They invigorate
the kidneys to healthy action and
when the kidneys properly perform
their functions the poisonous waste
matter is eliminated from the system.

The Symbolic Key,

Art, music and poetry nave in ai! ages been considered the polite arts but what is art without the proper portrayal of the dress Of the age thai 1t seeks to represent? What is music that does not bring inspiration from the masters of the past who Were clothed in the power to give ns ylimpses of men and ideals of whom the only lasting impression can be gained by the form our imaginationS give to them? And our imaginat tions ciothe them in robes in which their creators sent them out on their erraiHls If giving the world higher ideals. TheE what is poetry but thought clothed in words? No matter from what side viewed. the figure of speech of cloth ,ng is the symbolic key that gives en
 rance to these higher realms. and
 therefore why should not clothes them- selves touch the hem of the garments ef the arts. with which they are so closely in touch ?-American Tailor and Cutter

The Moth and the Candle.
 It Is not because the moth is light hearted. needless and utterly frivolous, as We have always been told. that Il plunges headlong into the flame. but because of the way that Its body iS constructed, says Kaempffert, the well known student ot physical science There are two symmetrical points. e&- actly alike chemically, on the mott ; body-namely, its eyes. If the rays of light modify the chemical conditions of one side more than the other then the moths power of movement is af' fected. There is a stronger muscular tension on one side than on the other. md the moth is forced to move toward the source of light. If. however. one of the eyes Is removed the chemical symmetery is destroyed and instead of plunging into the flame II moves about in a circle. There are other ami mals and insects besides the moth which are hopeessly in the grip of
