The ChiIdren's Poet.

In the st. Nicholas Magazine Hide
garde Hawthorne gives u sympathetic
sketch of the life of Robert Louis
Stevenson, whose "Child's Garden of
Verses is perhaps the most popular
book Of poetry ever written. His pas
sionate attachment to children is ex-
pressed best by Andrew Lang, whom
Miss Hawthorne quotes:
There was a very pleasant trait
in %Stevenson's character which, per-
haps, does not display itself in most
of his writings-his great affection
for children. In an early letter
he writes: Kids Is what Is the mat
ter with me. Children are too
good to be true He had a natural
infatuation, so to say, for children as
children little boys and girls
were his delight, and he IA theirs"

Killed by Poisons

All scientists agree that poisonous
products in the blood are eliminated by
the kidneys. The kidneys act as kind
Of filter for these products. When the
kidneys are changed or degenerated, by
disease or old age, then these poisons are
retained in the body. II we wish to pre-
vent old age coming on too soon, or if we
want to increase our chances for a long
life. DIR. Pierce OF the Invalds' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y, says that you should drink
plenty Of water daily between meals and
with your meals to flush the kidneys. Then
procure at your nearest drug store AnIric.
This Anuric drives the uric acid out.
If we wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition a diet Of milk and vege~
tables, with only little meat once a day,
is the most suitable Drink plenty Of pure
water, take Anuric three times a day for a
month. Anurie is many times more potent
than lithia and dissolyes uric acid as hot
water does sugar.
