Ora Morningstar Has Never Used Hls
Artistic Ability as Source of
RevenLe-Has Originality in
His Methods.

Ora Morningstar, until recently
widely known as one of the foremost
billiard players of the world, was I'm
certain for many years as to the pro-
fession he would choose. 1t was
toss-up between billiards and painting,
and his inclination was decidedly to-
wards the artistic career. The result
has been somewhat of compromise,
for while Morningstar is famous as
billiard player he is also closely
welded to painting. About year ago
Morningstar was compelled to seek a
more congenial climate for his wife,
who was in very poor health and To-
Gated in Arizona. This wonderful cue
artist is never happier than when at
his easel His real genius lies in the
creation of landscapes in oil, and some
of his best works have received much
favorable comment at art exhibitions.
Morningstar has never used his arts
tic ability as source of revenue. He
paints for the love of the work, and
his pictures adorn the walls of the
homes of many of his friends to whom
he has presented them. He may be
said to belong to the modern school
There is originality in his methods.

1t was by chance that Morningstar
became billiard player. Early in life
he obtained employment in the bill
lizard hall of Maurice Daily in New
York. Being thrown into such close
association with the game he devel-
oped an unusual ability with the cue
and attracted wide attention in New
York
He was soon recognized as cham
pionship caliber, and more than once
has held the 1871 and 1872 titles of the
balkline game
His open table play made him a
master of the new style game of AL.
Billiards is more of reality to him
than art, although he loves art the
more.

Kiiney. Bladder and Uric Acid trou-
bles bring misery to many. When
the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently, and the poisons
are carried to all parts Of the body.
There follow depression, aches and
pains, heaviness. drowsiness. irrita-
biilty. headaches. chilliness and rheu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obsti-
nate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones.
When the uric acid affects the muscles
and joints it causes lumbago, rheuma-
tism, govt or sciatica. This is the time
