At an annual meeting of conductors and

Stuart one of the favorites of the rail-
road men of the South, was asked to take
part and open the meeting with prayer,
says an exchange. He was loudly APP

ped upon platform to offer prayer. The
railroad hen with their wives and daugh-
tiers present reverently bowed their heads
and George Stuart, with trembling lips
and deep emotion, offered the following
prayer, and as he left the platform dozen
men gripped his hand and brushed tears
from their eyes:
20 Lord we meet as body Of railroad
men, with our wives and daughters, to
consult for our interest. We are reminded
that life itself is train and the road to
heaven is a railroad; Gods truth the rail;
Gods love the fire, and His promises the
signal lights. o Lord, we recognize Thee
as the General Manager of our road, the
Superintendent of our train, and our
! Chief Dispatcher. Thou didst survey the
right of way, and Thy Son purchased it
with His blood. Thou didst lay the track
and ballast the road; Thou hast furnished
the rolling stock, Thou art the owner and
controller Of it all. We look to Thee fol
all our orders, and Thou must sign the
checks for our daily bread Be mercifu
in handling our human mistakes anC
blunders and do not discharge Thy un
worthy servants.
I'VE are grateful for the Bible, Thy
book of rules and instructions; be mercifu
in our examination and look with CHART,
upon our failures. Thy promises anc

l52acEi9c Kidneys
Cause Disease

I she'll not soon forget the bsncrits derived
trom the use oe Foley Kidney Pills."-AL A.
Godfrey, Forest Grove, Oregon.
Too much work and too little work
seem to have about the same effect
on persons past middle age. Proper
action Of the kidneys is necessary to
good health. They act as a filter
and remove from the blood poison GUS
waste matter which if permitted to
remain in the system leads to many
complications.
Many nervous, tircd. rundown men
and women suffer from pains in the
back and sides, dizzy spells, bladder
weakness, sore muscles and stiff
joints and fail to realize that rheuma-
tism, diabetes or even Bright's dis
case may result
If you have cause TO believe that
your kidneys are weak disordered or
inactive you should act Immediately.
Foley Kidney Pills have been used
by young, middle aged and old with
complete satisfaction. They act quick
" and surely and have given relief
in cases OF ten years standing.
