THE NEWEST REMEDY FOR
BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM AND DROPSY

Kidney, Bladder aud 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, heayiness, drowsiness. irrita-
bility, 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
end joints it causes lumbago, rheuma-
tism, govt or sciatica. This is the time
to send DR.. Pierce, Invalids' Hotel,

SLIGHTLY Different.

Some little time ago benevolent
lady read in the papers paragraph
to the effect that, in an effort to save
his cat from being crushed by the
wheels of a passing omnibus, small
boy had been knocked down and seri-
ously injured by the vehicle. and had
been obliged to be taken to London
hospital
The lady, who kept cats herself,
greatly admired the boys devotion to
the poor dumb animal" and wrote
to the hospital, inclosing handsome
sum for the brave and humane suf-
ferer."
By return of post came letter from
the matron acknowledging the receipt
of the money, but alas explaining
that the cat which had been the cause
of all the woe was an even dumber
thing that the lady had imagined. II
was, in fact. that somewhat dangerous
toy, tipcat.

WHAT you PAY FOR.

"Tll never trade at Blanks any
more" exclaimed friend.
"Why?"
Look at this suit" he replied. IT'S
all out of shape; it's shabby, and it
doesn't fit me-"
How long have you had it?"

What did you ray for it?'
Sixteen dollars, / think"
John, | said soberly. when you
buy SIG suit at Blanks or anywhere
else, you may get SIG worth of cloth,
wear, style, and fit. and you don't get
any more. You've had the suit six
months, and no suit at any price looks

once month l know Blank, and he
is about as honest as anybody else in
the business. He makes specially
of low-priced clothes, and he gives you
your moneys worth
But John went away disgruntled,
He had purchased cheap suit, and
| expected it to wear as well, and to
look as well, as one for double or
| more the price.
You can't get more than you pay
for except by accident, and accidents
are not to be depended upon.

of food, and the same service, for
40 cents that they would receive il
they paid 81 or $3.50. The restaurant
serves a good Accent dinner. 1t is

The 10-cent moving picture house,

SAM WAS DISCOURAGED.

What's the matter. Sam" asked
his friend Will.
I'm discouraged replied Sam. Il
haven't been late for year, and I'VE
worked hard; but the boss doesn't
seem to appreciate me. Only yester-
day he raised the pay of fellow who

Kind of tough, admit" replied
Will, consolingly. How did 1t hap
pen? You say the other fellow got
his pay raised. There must be rea-
son for it."
The only reason | cam think of is
Partially. The boss always liked him
and just pushed him ahead"
Let's talk it over" said Will. Per
haps the boss was partial, but was
this Partially due to what the fell
low did? Think hard"
Not much" snapped Sam. Wal
ter has always been fresh, putting
himself in the boss way, and get
ting him to notice him, while I've
minded my business"
Lets be fair, Sam" said his friend.
"Ycu say that Walter has made his
boss notice him. What has he done?"
WELL" replied Sam, hes all the
time doing lot of things that he
hasn't any business to do, things
which he isn't paid for doing"
Such as what?"
We'll, he fixes up the boss desk
sees that the inkstand is filed, puts
on new piece of plotting paper
once in while, arranges the letters
and lot of other things which no
body asks him to do"
Sam" said Will quietly, you've hi
It. You've minded your own bust
ness, while Walter has done the same
thing and more. You're getting al
you are worth for what you're doing
Walter hasn't neglected his regular
duties, has he?"
No" snapped Sam.
Nov, you see, old boy, that Wal
ter has minded his own business al
we'll as you have. He hasn't neglect
ed anything which he should do, Blu
he has gone beyond that and done ;
lot of little things which the bos
particularly appreciates"
How is fellow going to do NOR

Isn't Walter busy all the time
too? But he found a way, and s.
can you, Sam, If you want to. Waite
has been interested. He has felt hi
responsibility. You've not been pal
ticularly interested, and you've no
realized your responsibility. Youv
let well enough alone. Walter ha
gone farther. My boss lectured u
the other day, and told us how h
