A Great Discovery

Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to

disordered kidneys. Naturally when the
kidneys are deranged the blood is filled
with poisonous waste matter, (which set

the blood has caused rheumatism, lum-

full how quickly Anuric acts; the pains
and stiffness rapidly disappear.

Mothers Doll Story
Fluffy and Rex

Once there was a little boy whose
name was Kay. He had two beautiful
rag dogs, Fluffy and Rex, who loved
to play with him in his big yard.
Every morning Kay played soldier,
and Fluffy and Rex would jump
around him and bark joyfully and leap
up on him.
Kay had great many soldiers, and
some he would line up and drill, till
they could march as one man. Others
he taught to dig trenches, and still
more Kay taught to shoot straight.
All the time he was playing soldier
Fluffy and Rex would frisk and bark.
One winter day 'norther'' came up
This means that the wind blows sud-
denly and the sunshine is spoiled by
the cold. In fact, it was so very cold
that the two rag dogs jumped right
down into the trench to keep warm.
When Kay got back to his tent-for
he had fine tent in his big yard-he
.whistled and called for his pets. But
the wind blew so hard they did not
hear him.
Then Jack Frost showed down in the
trench, and poor Fluffy and Rex were
all covered up with great white fakes,
80 that Kay, hunting for them, could
not even see them. They had to stay
outdoors in their cold snow bed all
night, but when the morning sun thaw-
ed of their cover Kay found them and
brought them back to his tent to get
all warm and happy again.
