WHEN EVERY MOVE HURTS

Lame every morning, achy and
stiff all day, worse when its damp
or chilly. Suspect your kidneys
and try the remedy your neigh
bors use.
William N. Amman, ST., station
airy engineer, 21t N. Fifth St.
Breckenridge, Mimi, says: Il had
a dull, heavy pain in my back,
which was no doubt brought on
by cold. 1t was very hard for me
to get around and my kidneys
were irregular in action. Often
sharp pains darted through my
sides and almost doubled me up.
I finally used Doan's Kidney Pills
and after taking a few boves, l
was free from kidney complaint"
Statement given October 10,
19O9)
OVER FIVE YEARS LATER, Mr..
Auman said: II haven't needed
any kidney medicine since l rec
commended Doan's Kidney Pills
some years ago and l think just
as much of them now as I did

His BRIGHT idea.

When the European war was in it's
infancy hangers back" found them
selves continually taken to task. A
grccer's clerk, calling for the usual or
der, was scornfully asked why he was
not answering his country's call.
Thinking he could see good customer
slipping away. an excuse was desper-
ately urgent. Fortunately an incoming
customer relieved the position, and a
happy idea came his way: Madam"
he replied. perhaps If I told you I've
not all my toes Oh one foot you would
scarcely believe it." This aroused the
sympathy of the woman, whcreupon he
got an increased order. Upon telling
her husband of the young mans mis-
fortune he coolly asked: "Well, have
you?" The feelings of the good lady
can be better imagined than described.

and pupate in early spring to emerl .
several weeks later in the beetle stage.
The meal worm feeds on flour, meal,
and even dust and refuse Of mills and
granaries.
Insects Of the granary are much
more easily kept out than put out. All
places where grain or any of its prod
ucts are stored should, above all
things be kept clean--not merely up
parently clean. but actually so. Cracks
In the walls and floor, for example,
may seem to be clean when swept
over, but may really be filed with the
dust of grain and similar debris and
thus become breeding place for q
number of granary insects.
Rooms and bins should, in fact.
be SO constructed as to be free from
cracks. the walls. floor, and ceiling
smooth. and everything solid and snug.
No rubbish of any kind should be al
lowed to accumulate, either in tfis
building or on adjacent premises. Ev.
erything should also be d0re to keep
insects out of the storehouse.
The more important special meas
ures which. used alone or in G. mbina.
ton may prevent infestation by gran.
ary pests, may be described as fol.
lows:
/. Small grain should be threshed
and stored as soon after ripening as
possible. Wheat should be harvested
and threshed directly from the shock
If practicable, but If stacked, should
not stand in the field longer than is
absolutely necessary.
2. The place intended for the re.
ception of crop should be thoroughly
cleaned out some time in advance, and
If there is reason to suppose that 1t
has contained granary pests. it should
be fumigated with sulphur. Complete
protection against wecvils requires
that rooms for grain should be made
tight. with windows screened and
doors close-fitting, and also that they
should he cool and dry. With proper
care and some additional expense, 0ny
such structure can be made gas-tight
uilu VI lts
contents with carbon bisulfide, but the
need of thorough ventilation should
not be left out of account.
8. If 1t were possible to dry grain
from the field artificially at tenn
pcrature of 1875 degrees +. for four
or five hours, all insects would be
killed and the grain could then be
stored in thoroughly clean and tight
place. and safely left until needed for
shipment or use. Corn which has
been shellcd dry and sacked is much
safer than that left on the ear,
whether with or without the husks.
Grain stored for seed should be dried
artificially, since it not only keeps
better and terminates more generally,
but it is also less liable to be eaten
by such insects as devour the kernel.
4. Farmers, seedsinen. and millers
should, in buying grain, make sure
that It Is free from insects.

BETHLEHEM"

The cantata, Bethlehem" by J. H.
Maunder, will be sung by chorus
from the Methodist, the Congrega-
tional, and the Baptist churches, Sun
day evening, December % at 1880 at
the Underwood Memorial Church.
The solo parts will be taken by
Mrs. Henry Waltermire, Miss Ruth
Smith, Mr.. Nixon, Mr.. Severns, Mr..
Leek, Mr.. MacKinnon and Mr.. Phillip
Gates.
The music of this cantata is de-
scriptive. The prelude helps to form
the setting of quiet starht night on
the plains of Bethlehem. One hears
the reedy sound of the shepherds
pipe-soon the shepherd begins to
sing. The entire solo creates an at
mosphere of the quiet vastness of a
great outdoor world asleep. Suddenly
wondrous light appears and the
world wakes to the "Gloria in Excel
sis" The discussion of the wonderful
event by the shepherds is closed by
the beautiful carol, "Only little viii
lage", and the shepherds go on their
way with the assurance that Ozark
ness hath passed forever"
The second part of the cant2fa is
laid in the desert where the three

kings meet There is a little nelody
introduced in the second measure of
the prelude which, in opera would be
called the "star motif, for whenever
the star is referred to this melody is
heard.
The first of the three kings, Bait
hassar, has come to the well in the
desert but can proceed no further be-
cause his guide, the one brilliant star,
has failed to appear. Far in the dis
lance he hears a caravan approaching,
| announced by the thud of the camels'
feet. The song of the caravan is at
first faint and far away, then be-
comes gradually louder. 1t is inter
esting to note that the melody of this
song is based on the old Pentatonic
scale of five tones. The other two
kings, Casper and Melchior, each
tell Balthassar of his wish to find the
promised king. The music of Gaspar's
solo is Chinese in character, while
that of Melchior has the monot onous
rhythm of the music of India. Each
king has a gift; gold, for king;
franklncenSe, for -" the prayers that
lift the spirit hence; myrrh, for
death. Assured the appearance of the
star, TIE caravan goes on its way into
the night.
Part three is laid before the Inn at
Bethlehem to which the shepherds and
kings have found their way. In this
part there is the remarkably beauti-
ful lullaby, "Sleep, little Son.. The
music of part three is characterized
by its changes of key and its con-
trasts of rhythm from the semi-stac-
cato of the first chorus to the trium-
plant "Adeste Fidelis", sung by choir
and congregation.
At the close of the cantata an offer
ing for War Relief Work will be tax
en-. A generous response is desired.
