In spite of the best care one take,
OF oneself, any part of the human machine
is liable to become out of order. The
most important organs are the stomach
heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and they
work day and night in separating the
poisons from the blood. Their signals Of
distress are easily recognized and in
clude such symptoms as backache, de-
pressions, drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges,
dropsy, gout.

Reward For WeeviI Killer.

sidering the feasibility of offering a
prize of $4,000 for sure death to

the prize will not have to be paid un-
til the poison is proved to be all that
is claimed for it, there is no good rea-
son why all members of the Legislature
should not agree to the proposition,
but there would really be no neces-
sity for a prize by the state, as the
