Get New Kidneys

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of filtering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of appetite; indiges-
ton; irritation, or even stone in the blad-
der. These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute. At the first in
dlcation of trouble in the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start taking
Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules, and
save yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment is necessary in kidney and blad-
der troubles. y delay is often fatal.
You can almost certainly find immediate
relief in Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules.
For more than 200 years this famous prep
aratlon has. been an unfailing remedy for
all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.
1t is the pure, original HARLEM Oil your
great grandmother used About two cap
sules each day will keep you toned up and
feeling fine. Get it at any drug store, and
If 1t does not give you almost immediate
relief, your money will be refunded. BE
sure you get the GOLD MEDAL brand.
None other genuine. In boxes, three
sizes.-Adv.

REWARDS FOR KIND DEEDS
Instances That Prove Ingratitude lie
Not Always the Strongest Trait
of Human Nature.

The parsOn who breaches short ser
but whether he deserves so handsome
a reward for his brevity as sixty fat
acres of land is a moot point. Any
how, that is what the pastor of an
Indiana church received some time
ago from one of the flock.
Some years ago an aged lady took
lodgings In a modest house at Parsons
Green, Fulham, where she eventually
died, says London Tit-Bits. When her
will was read it was found that she
had made her landlord-a young mar
ried man-her sole executor, and left
her property to his wife. 1t turned
out to be well over a thousand pounds
and it was all because the young
couple had shown ''kindly attention.
Just before the world war a Tas,
manian was stranded in London. He
appealed to a city policeman, who not
only put him on the track of perma'
nent assistance but gave him the
wherewithal to procure food and lodg'
ing. When the wanderer got back to
the land of apples he told the story
of the London bobby" and his friends
We're so pleased about it that they
sent the policeman a lovely gold watch
through the agent general.
Some time ago a musician in a the
atrical company jumped into the
Thames and saved child. The father
handed him SO and told him he would
hear further about the matter. Ter
years lapsed and the matter was just
a memory when the musician received
a lawyers letter while he was touring
in Australia to say that he benefited
under the will of the father of the
child to the extent of $1,000.

England Levied First Income Tax

The first income tax imposed in Eng.
land was provided for in an act of par.
lament 406 years ago to enable the
king to enter on a war with France
In 1898 Mr. Pitt proposed and carried
after great opposition, a tax on IN
comes ''as an aid to the prosecution
of the war" against the same country
This law was repealed in 1916, but in
1912 Sir Robert Peel's income tax bill
was passed. The tax was doubled in
the Crimean war, and has often been
increased to provide revenues for mil
itary operations. The United States
imposed an income tax in 1868 to carry
on the Civil war, in the same manner
that congress passed the latest meas
ure taxing incomes in the United
States to assist in financing the Strug-
gle against Germany.

Labor and War.

Figures made public by the war de-
partment recently speak eloqucntly
concerning what labor has done for
the war. Since April l, 1917, the army
Of the United States has been sup
piled with $4,000 overcoats. $685.
600 wooden coats, 10,5O7,0 900 pairs of
wooden breeches and 55,9jSOOO pairs
of WOODEN socks. Motor trucks to the
number of 17,SSS have been sent over
seas, and $3.50 motor ambulanccs
have been provided. These are mere
ly few items that show what it
means to speed up for victory.

specific for inf1uenza-the disease must
run its course. Nature herself will
throw off the attack if only you keep
up your strength. The chief danger
lies in the complications which may
arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily

monia or bronchitis developing and
sometimes inflammation of the middle
