HEALTH HINTS

Pain in the back is no indication
of kidney diseases. In fact most Of
the kidney troubles are painless.
Backache may be due to condi-
ton Of the muscles. 1t is sometimes
due to defect in the spine. Child
birth sometimes brings it to women,
who may also suffer from pain in
the small of the back as a result of
female ailments.
There is no way of finding out If
you have weak kidieys unless you
have your urine analysed. Usually
the finding of albumen in the urine is
a surprise to the person examined.
Even this does not indicate kidney
disease, but may only be the first
signal that one is on the wrong track
in the jorney through life.
The finding of albumen, or other
abnormal conditions is the sigma to
go slow on heavy foods, stimulating
drinks and over exertion. 1t means
that you should be temperate in all
your habits and get plenty of fresh
air and sleep.
Kidney trouble may be brought on
by exposure. Overexertion is some
times to blame. Exposure to cold is
particularly dangerous when there is
any arrangement of the kidneys

And so the girl consented. And
only too glad to get her OF Of his
hands, the man gave .ner over to
John, without question, and John
took her straight home to his moth
er.
Here John briefly explained the sit
uadon, whereupon the motherly
heart of Mrs. Holway was stirred
with sympathy for this forlorn bit of
womanhood. Rosalie was placed in a
cool, airy chamber, where the honey
stckle's sweet breath was brought to
her, and as she sank back in her
white bed, she looked up into Mrs.
Holweg's face with the words:
II didn't know anybody in the
world could be so good! When l left
the circus folks IL didn't care what
became of mel"
my dear child" began the wo-
man, when the girl broke in:
"And you don't know who l am, or
Anything about mel"

can give you," was the reply. That's
enough to know"
But l want to tell you all about
it." The girls eyes filed with tears.
"Well, tomorrow, maybe; but now
drink this and go to sleep, If your an
kle doesn't ache too hard"
The following day Rosalie told her
story. Her father had married, for a
second wife, girl who had travelled
with circus. She gave up that life
after marriage until her husband,
Rosalie's father, had died, after
which she had gone back to it, taking
Resale, then girl of fourteen, with
her. A year before this stepmother
had died, and the girl, already tired
of that sort of life, had wished to
give it up. II meant to run away"
she said, "but I think GRAHAM, the
proprietor suspected this, and he
would not give me my pay. He. said l
was not of age, and he would keep 1t
for me. Oh, l never want to ride
again." she said with a shudder.
BLACK Nero was in an ugly temper,
and was afraid Of him, and he knew
lit, of course, and am sure he threw
me on purpose"
Mrs. Holway repeated Rosalle's
story to her son, ending with: Poor
child; what a life! And she's barely
nineteen years old"
~ reckon we'll have to keep her
awhile" said John, but he did not
meet his mothers eye just then.
A week or two later las the two
women were sitting on the piazza one
afternoon, John Joined them, taking

Resale exclaimed, looking off over
the stretch of green-clad country,
do you like it?" smiled Mrs. Hol-
way.
The girl drew long breath of con-
tentment. ut is like heaven" she
answered.
And John, looking up into her blue
eyes, found an echo of her words in
his heart.
Three months later Mr.. and Mrs.
John Holway were returning from
their wedding trip, and, passing
through Berrydale, John turned the
runabout toward the circus grounds,
Slowing up, he observed, Here is the
spot where first met you"

entering the circus tent, found seat

RESERVED POTATOES
There comes a time when boiled potatoes,
baked potatoes, mashed and creamed potatoes,
fried potatoes, all grow monot0nous. If only
potatoes might be served in just little diff
ferent style! When you reach this state, or,
better, little before you reach it, try this:
Bake some good sized weIl-shaped potatoes
in slow oven. The potatoes should be beau
tifully scrubbed before baking. When baked,
cut an end off each potato. Cut off just
enough to enable you to scoop out the contents
Of the potato. After scooping all out, add
mill; or half cream and milk to this, and beat
vigorously Add salt and butter before beat
ing. When this is creamy, put the potato back
into the shells, keeping out little, to which
add the beaten white of an egg. This should
go into the top part of each potato shell on
top of the other potato. Put back into the
oven to brown.
The potatoes are served on the table in their
shells. A nice brown potato she'll with the
creamiest of potato bubbling out Of the top
sounds rather sppetizing, does it not2 but it
tastes a great deal better than it sounds.
NEW WAY TO COOK POTATOES
II you will cut raw potatoes into sections,
and put them into the hot oven instead of into
hot lard, you can bake them just as quickly as
you can broil steak or chop. Put them in
dripping pan on the bottom of the oven or
on the racks, and they will be crisp, palatable
