Inactive Kidneys
 Cause Disease

sI shall not soon forget the bene fits I derived from the use of Foley Kidney PiIls.'-Al A. Godfrey, Forest Grove, ore.
 Too much work and too little work seem to have about the same effect on persons past middle age. Proper action of the kidneys is necessary to good health. They act as a filter and re- move from the blood poisonous waste matter which if permitted to remain in the system leads to many complications.
 Many nervous. tired, run down men and women suffer from pains in tho back and sides, dizzy spells. bladder W eakness, sore muscles and stiff joints and fail to realize that rheumatism, diabetes or even Bright's disease may result.
 If you have cause to believe that your kidneys are weak, disordered or inactive you should act immediately Foley Kidney Pills have been used by young. middle aged and old with com plete satisfaction. They act quickly iand surely and have given relief in cases of 10 years standing Sold every where.

 held the bonds and collect the interest. Whenever money became active, and was in good demand. the bonds would be presented for redemption and immediately the special currency to the full amount would be available. This would afford quick relief to the market. My paper went further into details but you, no doubt, catch the idea I had of a convert ible bond which could be exchanged inn mediatey for currency. and currency which could be reconverted into bonds when the occasion for it's use had passed away.
 "The other paper I read and which I remember fairly well, was along lines which have been discussed greatly dur ing the past few years. 1t provided for the creation of fund to guarantee de- positors in national banks. As 1 remem- ber it provided for small tax on de- posits to be put into a separate fund and held as a guarantee to be used in paying any losses that would otherwise fall on depositors of failing national banks after all assets had been collected and assess ments levied
 This idea in various forms has been embodied in different bills offered in Con- to be passed soon. The reason which made such a provision seem desirable to me was the stability which would be given to the deposits in banks by reason of the confidence of depositors .sThe experience of the last few years gives you foreible illustration of the necessity of having the confidence of de- positors and the possibility of results aris- ing from lack of such confidence. q remember I further argued that with such a guarantee fund giving sta bilitv to deposits, national banks could be safely permitted to make one-hali of their loans on real estate. This privi. legealone, I contended, was worth more to national banks than the amount oi cost to them arising from the tax SC provided for
 New if these two schemes had been put into operation an abundant supply of quickly available currency would have been provided and guarantee fund to protect deposits would have been created of such proportions thai | 1t seems scarcely possible that deposi tors would have demanded their money Perhaps some of you may live to se= something much better than the above outlined ideas put into effect. 1T wish l could recall the many pleasant incidents of our early meet ings. I distinctly remember the famous foot race between Mir. Fitts and B. Steiner. MT. Fitts was the only man ever know who got ahead of B. Steiner in anything.
 "1 remember once on a boat ride tc Fort Morgan. an accident happened and the barroom was smashed against a Wharf. Great distress was manifested but soon relieved by the ample supply of wet goods brought along by tho com mittee from Mobile''

CHAPTER XVI.
"To My Own Sweetheart"

- o wy SWn OWSGGNGdTIs
When James Brood and Frederic
left the dining-room nearly an hour
prior to the departure Of Mrs. Des-
mond, there was in the mind of each
the resolution to make short work of
the coming interview. Each knew that
the time had arrived for the parting
of the ways, and neither had the least
desire to prolong the suspense.
The study door was closed. James
Brood put his hand on the knob, but,
before turning it, faced the young man
with an odd mixture of anger and pity
in his eyes.
+ Perhaps 1t would be better II we
had nothing more to say to each 9th

changed my mind. / cannot say the
thing to you that r"

ruthlessly, jumping at conclusions in
his new-found arrogance.
Brood threw open the door. step
inside" he said in voice that should
have warned the younger man, 1t was
so prophetic of disaster. Frederic
had touched the open sore with that
unhappy question. Not until this in
stant had James Brood admitted to
himself that there was sore and that
it had been fostering all these weeks.
Now it was laid bare and smarted with
pain. Nothing could save Frederic
after that reckless, deliberate thrust
at the very core of the malignant
growth that lay so near the surface.
1t had been in James Brood's heart
to spare the boy,
Hot words were on Frederic's lips.
