A small, neat portfolio to carry sta
tlOnery, pen and pencil for the soldier
is one of the gifts that can be made
for him at home. Il is a simple affair,
of substantial brown denim, and re-
qulres nothing else but thread and snap
fasteners, TO make a very complete and
handy writing case.
AS shown In the picture, the case
is about ten inches wide and sixteen
inches long. One side Of It holds three
blOtters that make a good support for
the writing tablet In cramped quarters
where there is no table. On the other
side are compartments for paper, en-
velOpes, post cards and stamps. A
narrow strap of the denim, is sewed
down at the center to carry pen and
pencil. Ink can be carried In solid
form now. It comes in small sticks
that dissolve In water. The case fast
ems with strong snap fasteners as in
dictated in the picture.
1t is a good idea to embroider the
initials on belongings made for the
boys In the service because so many
kits and portfolios are alike in all de-
tails. Besides it Is another evidence
of thOughtfulness on the part of the
donor.

toms of kidney trouble.

CBy L w. Bower, M. d.

Backache Of any kind Is often caused
by kidney disorder. which means hat the
kidneys are not working properly. Poison
Gus matter and uric acid accumulate
within the body in great abundance,
overworking the sick kidneys; hence the
congestion Of blood causes backache in
the same manner as a similar congestion
In the head causes headache. You be-
come nervous, respondent, sick. feverish.
irritable, have spots appearing before the
eyes, bags under the lids, and lack ambi-
ton TO do things.
The latest and most effective meant
OF overcoming this trouble, is to eat spar
ingly OF meat. drink plenty OF water be-
tween meals and take a single muir
tablet before each meal for a while.
