What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of Sc.
rious illness. makes chemical analysis
of the patients urine. He knows that un.
less the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way. serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore. it is particularly
necessary to pay more attention to the
health OF these important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as kidney remedy ia

preparation, in most cases, is soon real

Bessie Carol vas a good little girl
most OF the time, but she had every
reason to be. for her father and moth
er gave her everything she could wish
for. and as she was never really bad
they seldom had to cross her.
But her mother discovered that
when she could not do just a. she
wished she looked very sober and
sulked.
Her mother, of course. loved her
very dearly. and she wanted everyone
to love her little girl. SO she made up
her mind that when the opportunity
presented itself she would teach Bes-
sic q lesson that she would under
stand and bring before her, if posi-
BILE, the fact that to have her own
way was not always best for her hap
piness.
Bessie had very pretty dresses and
hats. and one day in the early spring
she wanted to wear a new hat and car
ry new parasOl which had been sent
home the day before.
Il am sure it will rain before you re-
turn from Sunday school," her mother
said; you had better wear your other
hat and wait until the weather Is more
settled. 1t is early and you will have
plenty of times to wear the new one"
Bessie began to cry: Il want to

will rain at all today"
Stop crying" said the mother, "and
listen to me. do not think 1t best you
should wear the new hat, but you can
do as you like. and whatever happens
you must take the consequences"
Bessie put on her new hat and took
the parasol, and she was all smiles
when she went out of the door, At the
gate she met her father. You better
not wear that pretty hat" he said: Il
think it will rain, and an umbrella
will be OF more use than that little
parasol."
Mother said I might said Bessie.
mo, dear" said her mother, who was
standing on the steps. Il said you
could do as you wished, but l advised
you not to wear them today; you are
doing SO because you wish to have
your own way"
Bessie went to Sunday school feel
ing sure that her mother was mis-
taken about the rain, put when she
came out it was pouring. She waited
until the shower was over and then
ran for home, but she had only gone a
short distance when the rain came
down again, and before she could

drenched.
While she was standing in door
way waiting for the rain to cease a
red drop fell on her dress. ''Oh! dear, ;
thought Bessie, Il ran SO fast that my
nose is bleeding" but when another
drop fell, and 1t was not from her
nose, she looked at the rim of ner hat
and found it was the color from the
little red roses. Then she looked at
her parasol. 1t was wet and there
were red spots on 1t where it had
rubbed against the roses as she held
it over her head in the rain. Her
feet were wet and she looked like a
little kitten who had been dipped into
p pail of water.
Il cannot get any wetter,' she said
at last; Il will run as fast as can for
home" Her mother took eff the wet
clothes and gave her hot bath, but
she did not mention the spoiled ar
ticles. and Bessie thought they were
forgotten.
The next day when she came from
school her mother was ripping the
trimming from her hat. Then she told
Bessie to take it to Jane and ask her
to press it. Bessie did as she was
told and brought it back, but when
her mother began trimming the hat
with the pressed ribbon she asked:
Are you going to give it to the cooks
little girl:"
NO" answered her mother, this is
the only hat you have"
But. mother, you do not expect me
