EVERYONE SHOULD DRINK GLASS
OF WATER TO CLEAN KIDNEYS.
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers You Drink Lots of Water

BotherS You Drink Lots of Water.
When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you
keep your bowels clean, by flushing
them with cold water and kidneco
which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulate them to their
normal activity. The function Of the
kidneys is to filter the blood. In "a
hours they strain from it 500 grains
of acid and waste, so we can readily
understand the vital Importance of
keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't
drink too much; also get from your
druggist about one dozen grain
kidneco tablets, take one tablet be-
fore each meal and at bedtime with
a glass of water for few days and
your kidneys will act fine. This ia
nous remedy is made from perfectly
harmless ingredients and acts
quickly, and has been used for gen.
erations to clean and stimulate
clogged kidneys, also to Eeutralize
the acids in urine so it no longer Ia
a source of irritation, thus ending
bladder weakness.
kidneco is inexpensive, cannot in
jure, make no mistake, insist on ked-
neco which everyone should take
now and then to keep their kidneys
clean and active. Try this, also
Keep up the water drinking and no
doubt you will wonder what became
of your kidney trouble and back

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
BY MARY MARSHALL

Marta L. Davis Berry, political re-
former. was born on January y lsi4,
IN Michigan.
Her father had settled In Michigan from
New York, and wuseOf Irish and Italian
descent and her mother was OF Gel
man descent. So Martha had a heritage
from many races Her father was a
strong worker for prohibition and the
antisIavery cause, and ii is said that
her mother was far ahead of her times,
so Il Is clear that her childhood was
passed In the midst Of interesting
thought.
Martha was most carefully educated,
and her earliest desire was to teach.
When she was seventeen she began to
teach and kept 1t up for five years.
Then she was married, at the close OF the
civil war, to a soldier. and with her
husband and one child she later removed
TO Kansas.
Her marriage did not interfere with
her desire to take an active part In the
world o< affairs, and she organized the
nrst foreign missionary society west OF
the Missouri She also organized many
elubs-a woman's club, Of which she was
a very active member. She was state
treasurer Of the Kansas Equal Suffrage
Association, and state treasurer OF the
Christian Temperance Union.

Beauty is a subject that has occupied
the attention OF great men OF all ages
thus Aristotle used to say that personal
beauty is a better introduction than any
letter; some say it, was Diogenes who
gave this description of 1t, while Aris-
totIe called beauty the gift of God"
That was thousands of years ago, and
In a civilization that differed in every
particular from ours, yet this opinion
credited to the ancient Greek philoso-
pher fits into the needs Of the modern
woman as though it had been said to-
day, because the American woman Is
taken more seriously than any woman In
the world at the present time. Her i'm
portance in a democratic society cannot
be overestimated, and she is dimly. begin
ming to realize her value and the tremen-
dous part she is playing in the new
world. Only dimly beginning, for one Of
the paradoxes of the times is that every
one takes the American woman more
seriously than she does herself. She Is
helping to do the worlds work. and no
argument is necessary to prove the truth
of the statement that personal beauty is
a very necessary factor In her life, as
her success, in any position she may oc-
cupy. is largely dependent upon It
The lives Of many American women
read like a fairy tale, and no little
stenographer or salesgirl today can be
sure that she will not become the wife
OF some millionaire boy tomorrow; but
into whatever station destiny throws her,

CLEARLY A woMARs WORK.

There was much that was interest
ing in the recent report Of the Illinois
Senate White Slave Investigation, and
much that has called forth comment,
favorable and otherwise. But to
women-especially women in the
home-there is no statement more
pertinent than that stating that in do
mestic employment is to be found
the greatest moral dangers that con-
front women and girls. This is true
of Illinois, and, conditions in industry
10 that state being not very different
from those of other localities of this
country, it is only reasonable to I'M
agine that the same holds true
throughout the land.
We had been inclined to think that
il was the shop girl, the girl who
stands all day behind the counter,
who was subject to the seyerest temp
tations. At any rate, we had heard a
great deal about the dangers that con-
front the employees in the large de-
The Washington herald., 1916-01-22

Assuredly it is up to the women of
the land in great measure to remove
these conditions.
"But that would require the vote"
says our suffrage friend. "In spend
ing alL>our energy to get the ballot
we are doing all we can to remedy
this and other evils"
Well, true, the vote might help. But
in this matter women actually have a
very real way of remedying matters
without the vote. 1t isn't the "indi-
rect influence" that our anti friends
like to talk about, either. 1t is in a
very direct and telling way that this
can be accomplished.
The members of the Housekeepers'
Alliance are doing something more
than any Any other group of>women
in the home can do in keeping pri-
vate register of domestic employees,
through which they can make sure
not only Of fair play for the employ
er, but for the girl or woman as well.

partment stores in the crowded cities.
Then many women imagined that
girls in office, away from the protec-
lion of the home, were most perilous-
Iy placed. But few of US imagined
that in the employment where, sup
posedly, girls have the protection of
the home, an employment, too, where
wages have tended steadily to in
crease instead of decrease within the
last decade, this condition should ex-
ist. But after careful and thorough
investigation the Illinois commission
says such is the fact.
The most potent reason for this
condition is the fact that domestic in
dustry is almost without regulation.
Hours, wages, conditions of living are
almost always agreed upon simply be-
tween the employer and the employee.
The domestic worker is often alone.
She is isolated and cut off from COM
munication with other women in the
same employment. These things all
contribute to the perils that confront
her.

This was anew angle to Helen and
she seized upon it with self-righteous
indignation.

tered. why, If / had been in her

lers, asked this question.

in fifteen minutes it would be all over
the studio.
This barbed-wire gossip enmeshed
Vivian and one of the managers, both
innocent of any wrongdoing. in a
tangle which ended in getting them
both into serious trouble. 1t ran the
gauntlet of all the studios, and even
tJday little drifts of it come back to

Vivian's past, always her name with

ried, but very happily.

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
By FRANCES MARSHALL
Furnish Around an Inspira-
ton.

We all know that some rooms are we'll
Furnished and some are poorly furnished.
We call the quality that the woman who
knows how to furnish a room well pos
sesses taste. 1t is taste. sometimes, an
Innate taste for the beautiful, the har-
monious In housefurnishing. Sometimes,
however, It Is only good sense.
Here Is helpful suggestion for the
woman who does not think she knows
anything about furnishing a room and
yet wants It to be beautiful
Choose one object, an object of recog-
nized beauty in line and color, and make
that the nucleus of the room in ques-
tlon.
For instance. take an Oriental rug of
truly beautiful colors. Let that be the
suggestion of color scheme for your room
Choose the darker. richer shades II the
room be of formal sort. and the lighter,
brighter ones for bedroom.
Perhaps there is blue of lovely tone
In the rug. Then perhaps>your walls can
be papered In blue of this same tone IL
the room Is bright Or perhaps the blue
can be chosen for the color of the up
holstery or window hangings. Or perhaps
there will be some lovely rose color that
will be suggestive for hansings and up
holstery.
A beautiful japanese vAse too, will be
helpful as a nucleus for room. Take a
crackle vase with oyster white founda-
ton. with decorations In blue and brown.
There you have your whole roon-oyster
gray walls. II the exposure is a bright
one. brown and blue rugs. brown furni-
ture and blue hangings.
Perhaps you have one of those lovely
bits of Chinese embroidery. Use that as
an Inspiration for color and harmonious
grouping of color. Always choose some
thing really beautiful for this purpose,
and then follow the suggestions Il gives
faithfully.

FEMININE BEAUTY.

be 1t an humble cottage or the White
House, beauty counts In the great scheme
Of things tremendously-beauty of face.
Of form, Of adornment, of conduct, of
thought, OF manners. Wherefore. the
American woman must take herself beau
tifully, and that Is an art she has learned
only in part.
Ernest aaeckel, the greatest living
German philosopher. is said recently to
have remarked that woman has not
changed at all through the ages: that
she Is just as heedlessly extravagant and
as foolishly fond of bizarre adornment as
she was thousands of years ago.
This is not true of the great mass, who
are. after all. the bulwark of a nation;
but the kernel of truth that we can Gull
from his statement Is that American
women do no study their good points and
conduct themselves accordingly. Every
woman is n beauty II she only knows how
to make herself 50. Why more do not
succeed is because they haven't the re-
motest knowledge OF such matters. Every
woman should become a student of aes-
thetics, which pertains to the principles
underlying beauty and taste, because We
Of today are living in an age of aesthetic
lndividualism.
We have no one type OF beauty. We
have no standard OF comparison; there
for II Is impossible to compare our pres
ent ideas OF female loveliness with any
fixed standard, so tremendously has the
twentieth-century civilization grown away
from ancient idealistic forms.
The American woman is a law unto
herself she Is composite made up OF
the civilizat tions of all races-she is the
product Of the melting pot" as Zang-
will puts It.
The one dominant note that runs
through all living matter today is action,
personifed in pulsating life, varied forms
and intense color. The classic idea of
beauty is the quintessence of form in
perfect repose, solemn, severe, cold, al
most awsome.
Woman occupied a very mediocre role
in ancient Greek civilization, and for
that reason their art Is Overwhelmingly
masculine and purely physical. The
Greek abhorrsd a physical defect. To
them the most attractive thing in life
was good health associated with strength.
and vigor. Hence their statues all rep
resent women of colossal size, perfectly
proportioned, but utterly lacking the elu-
sive charm Of femininity.

New York, Jan. 2.-Everybody's writ
ing now-aren't you? Isn't your life
more thrilling than any book you ever
read? And couldn't you do something
heaps better than the twaddle you read
in magazines? statistics gathered in
New York show that the literary impulse
is as widespread as literary achievement
is rare.
More than $50 persons quit regular Jobs
the first of this year TO write, and gosh
how the magazine editors dread II. In
fact. 1t is said that five-eighths of the
population Of the United States has Sc
cret ambition to write. One of the un-
mistakable signs appear in the form OF
bone spectscles.
Many men have given up drumming
to improve the magazines. Most OF them
return to the suitcase, but they had
sood time. and it's great sport to knock
the magazine editors in the smoking room
OF the train.
One Of the biggest magazine publishers
In the United States, located in New
York. recently created a new 3l5Ooo-a-
year job with his publications. The job
is to hunt for new writing geniuses.
Every manuscript that comes in Is TO
be studied carefully to see IL there Is not
spark of a genius hidden under the
mass of rhetoric. 1t is said that in the
whole United States there are only
about 5000 men and women who can
write-and many of them write very
poorly.
