LITERARY INSJNCERITIES

Picking out the six or ten or twenty
greatest books in the English Ian
guagc, or in the world, is still one oi
tho faVoritc pastimcs of literary sup
plcments and reviews.
How many of us. il we were really
honest could make a list Of great
works that we have tried to enjoy and
couldn't rise to-
We have fof our own part a greater
sin than that on our conscience. There
arc a number of books that we habit
ually pretend we have read which we
have never read at all They are great
books, We suppose At least we've
heard lot about them and read a lot
about them, aud people who assume
TO know say they are great books,
some of them We have tried to read
and couldn't read. but we have pre-
tended at one time or another to have
read all of them. Here les our list of
shame;

read II four times ana could never get
five pages into It,

attempted il at least six times and

We can't get Interested in it, Yet up
10 the present moment we have al
ways pretended that We had read all
of u and liked It.

little of it ana We know all the usual
things that are said about IL. and we
even wrote some stuff about it one
time, saying an the things that are
usually said about il. for which we

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid
troubles bring misery to many. When
the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently, and the pois
ons are carried to all parts of the
body There follow depression, aches
and pains, heaviness, drowsiness ir-
ritability headaches. chilliness and
rheumatism. In some people there
are sharp pains in the back and loins,
distressing bladder disorders and
sometimes obstinate dropsy. The
uric acid sometimes forms into gravel
or kidney stones. When the uric acid
affects the muscles and joints, it
causes lumbago, rheumatism govt or
sciatica. This is the time to try AN
