THE NEWEST REHEpY
FOR
Backache, rheumatism and Dropsy.

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 poisons are carried to all parts of the
body. There follow depression, aches
and pains, heaviness, 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 obstin.
ate 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
oAnuric"
During digestion uric acid is absorbed
into the system from meat eaten, and
even from some vegetables. The poor
kidneys get tired and backache begins.

Queer Town,

Margaret Ellington was making a

The Vice of Profanity

Swear not at all might be con-
sidered a counsel of perfection,
especially by men of hasty temper,
but there is no question as to the
timeliness of the vigorous denuncia-
ton of profanity which a Camden
audience heard from Doctor Lyon
the other evening. The freedom
with which many Americans who
ought to know better garnish their
conversation has often been re-
marked both by native and foreign
observers. Years ago Mr.. Bayard,
then Ambassador to England,
provoked great cutlery by refer
ring to the fact that this Vice is
for less common among English
men of the same class, but the
Justice of his assertion was and is
lndeniable. No one can be more
bicturesquely profane than a Lon
ion cabby, or more vulgarly pro-
ane than the jewellers in the Lon
lon slums. But it is safe to say that
he language too frequently heard
ere in public places-even when
here are women present-would
eldom if ever be heard in similar
circumstances there. The very
act that this pronfanity is not
CELEBRATE, that it runs from the
bngue with the ease of long custom
,akes the offence all the worse.
A goo round oath may be par
oned on occasion. But habltuaI
rofanity lis objectionable. Men
no might be expected to have at
asst the elements of good breeding
terIard their conversation, not
erely with oaths, but with con
ant misuse of the name of the
city which touches the limits OF
reverence philadelphia Ledger.

A telegram received at IL
O'Clock Thursday gave Mr..
Wilson 271, which, if correct,
assures his election.
HE Was A Great
School Man.
A Good EDitaD

The school principal if he is of the
right sort of timber, should of
course lead the educational thought
of his community; but unless he is
backed by you and men like you,
the very best that he can do will
not be much.
First of all, let's make an earnest
effort to see that our children are
present on opening day and every
day thereafter. The child that
misses the first few weeks newt
ably falls behind in its class work,
and, what is more serious. it is as
surely falling behind in its prepara-
ton for the great work. of life. IT.
regular attendance, too, is no less
serious. If the crops are not all
harvested when school opens, hire
the remainder of the work done or
do it yourself anything to get the
children in school on time and
keep them there
But this is not all. The father
who is satisfied with nothing but
che best for his children will visit
his school, know the teacher, what
the school is doing, and what are
its needs that it's efficiency and eff
fectiveness may be increased. He
makes the school a community
meeting place on Friday afternoons,
he takes lively interest in the
spelling matches, the debating con-
tests, and the games; he works to
make commencement famous
event in which the whole neighbor'
hood takes part.
Then counsel with yourself, friend /,
and ask yourself seriously if you
are measuring up. You can't at
ford merely>to believe in education
and stop at that; you must do your
level best to see to it that your
children and your neighbours chill
dren getit. ''He was great
school man" what finer thing
would we, after we are gone, have
our neighbors say of US. Such a
man, perhaps to fortune and fame
unknown. opens the door of know
ledge and life to others, and in So
doing has himself truly lived. The

Could our grief and sorrow no.

BROOK MADE SWEET MUSIC
Traveller Tells of Seductive SOUNDS
Produced by What Are Known
as Water Bella.

When you are travelling in unsettled
regions and camping On the trail,
writes q Companion reader, one at
least of the saddle and pack animals
that you turn loose to Craze wears a
bell, so that you can find them more
easily when you want them.
At the camp in northern Minnesota
I thought I heard the bell of "shag-
anappe" Qndian pony), and followed
the sound more than half a mile with
out finding any track.
When halfway back to camp I heard
the bell again, and, taking the bearing
accurately, I followed compass line
in the direction Of the sound. l went
through brush and glade for about a
quarter of q mile until I came to q
tiny waterfall. I could still hear the
sound of the bell, but rather family,
through the splash Of the falling wa
ter.
There were gong-shaped bubbles,
some of them four inches in diameter,
floating on the water below the fall,
and the water came over the fall in
divided stream; some Of 1t dripped
from the ends Of twigs.
The charm Of the brooks music held
me there for some time enjoying that
delicious drip! drip! drip! and the
clear, soft ting ting! ting! That still
night in the tent I heard the silver
bell-like tone again. What was the
source Of the ringing? I have found
an explanation that seems to me to fit.
Have you ever been hammering at
something and when you struck GER
tain blow have you heard q ringing
from pan or barrel near by that you
had not touched? Or, in blowing
horn, or even in shouting, have you
not heard the answering ring of some
sonorous vessel set in vibration by the
horn or the voice?
Well, there you are. The dripping
water sets those bell-shaped bubbles In
vibration. The original sound of the
drop is REINFORCED, and away 1t goes
through the air, as If on witch broom,
to play its mysterious pranks on some
unsuspecting traveller.
Since that time have often listened
for water bells when camped near
brook, and usually with success when
the air was still and the water In con-
dition to form large bubbles.-Youth's
Companion.

Men Are Not Born Equal

Judge John B. Winslow, chief JUS
tice of the supreme court of Wiscon-
sin, in an address last week before the
City club of Chicago, declared men
are born unequal, with unequal OPP
portunity, and it is the duty of the
state to equalize them"
Industry, commerce, science, art,
education, social intercourse; in fact,
all organized human activities which
make existence depend upon social or
der and social order. in turn depend
ent upon the effective protection of
life, liberty and property by law"
Judge Winslow said. Hence it is
hardly too much to say that civiliza-
ton is really law, or at least it can
not exist in the absence of law, and
that if this be true the civilization of
any age must find expression in the
law of the people or the age.
