Pains and Aches
Caused by Kidneys

Many women attribute ailments
a.. ffering to some disease pecu-
liar their sex, when often the
rain misery is caused by weak
or del"a7 kidneys. Homework,
office WoI.z or factory work may
start tile trouble, and dizzy spells,
puffiness under eyes, sore muscles,
stiff joints, discolored or scanty urine,
sleep disturbing bladder ailments,
rheumatism or diabetes may result.
When the kidneys are strong and
healthy they filter out from the blood
the poisonous waste matter. When
they are sluggish or overworked they
need a medicine to clean them out
and invigorate action. Foley Kidney
Pills are prepared expressly for the
purpose of dissolving all poisonous
substances and uric acid that lodge
in the joints and muscles and to
cleanse and strengthen stopped-up,
inactive kidneys.A Thousands of men
and women in all parts of the county
testify to the wonderfully satisfac-
tory results they have had from taxi
ing Foley Kidney Pills.

SURROUNDING AN ARMY.
Turning the Enemy's FIanks and Roll
ine Up the Entire Line.

ing Up the Entire Line.
Those not familiar with military tao
tics have very vague idea as to how
an army is surrounded. 1t Is generally
believed that commander who
schemes to encircle his enemy with an
impenetrable ring Of guns and men
must conceive some method Of maneu-
vering his troops round to the rear Of
his opponents army. 1t is possible.
however, for a general well versed In
field tactics to cleverly roll up large
body of troops by frontal attack alone
This is accomplished by means Of flank
ing movements. '~
For purposes of example let us imag-
Inc two armies facing one another
drawn up in two long lines. Behind
one of the battle lines a body Of re-
serve troops stealthily make their way
over to the right. Their purpose Is to
make a sudden onslaught on one end of
the enemys line. At exactly the right
moment, when the artillery fire is at its
fiercest, the reserve troops violently at
tack the forces situated at the extreme
left Of the enemy's front. The attack
ing force, owing to. its overwhelming
numbers. bends back the end of the
assailed army. 1T refuses its right"
as military men say.
At the opposite end of the line SINH
lar attack is launched, which has the
effect of forcing back the enemy's
right. An army which refuses" al
most at the same time its left and
right wings is doomed. Unless q
very speedy retreat is carried out the
whole force is rolled up" as both its
TANKS are forced back.
As the right and left TANKS of the
enemy give ground the attacking
troops slowly force their way to the
rear of the assailed army, closing in
the while. The result is that within n
few hours the defeated force is entirely
surrounded. although in the first in,
stance it was attacked from its front
alone.-Pearson's Weekly.

Ancient Dentistry.

The first mentioning Of tooth extract
ing in literature seems to be by Cicero,
who names Aesculapius fhe third as
the inventor of purges and the art Of
extracting teeth some 1900 years be-

turtles before Christ wrote much about
the care of the teeth, and a tomb at

a set of false teeth.

Congregational Church Outing

The annual Sunday school picnic
of the Congregational church was
held in Warmers grove July Goth.
The day was perfect one for a
picnic-cool and clear. Over sixty
children and adults were present.
The outing was one of the very best
the school ever had. The party left
the church about 10 am, in hay
rack, wagons and automobiles, and
returned ab,ut six pm.
Contests and games, in which
nearly everybody participated, were
the order of the day. Opening with
playground ball before dinner, the
Athletics" defeated the Giants"
by a score of 60. The game ended
at the first call to dinner, in the first
half of the last inning. After every
one had eaten all they wanted and a
little more the afternoons program
started off with a game of volley-ball
"a new feature introduced by the
pastor. After a lively game the
longs" were defeated by the
Shorts" score 81.
