A speaker declared that the old-style baShful swain has ceased to exist since the war. Proposals have no terrors for the boys now. In a young friend of mine, however, I must note an ex- ception.
 He had been going with the girl be- fore war broke out, but even in the stress of going away had not mustered up courage enough to put the question.
 When he came back he went to her, and though he had faced the terrOrs of the trenches and even the horrors of the Hun. yet he still hesitated.
 "'Dearest said the girl finally, didn't you once say that you would do anything for me? Didn't you once ask me to put your devotion to the test?'
 "Indeed I did, he responded warm ly there is nothing in the world ! would not do, no sacrifice I would not make to prove to you how much I think of you
 "'Well, then, said the maid, ask me to marry you. We've fooled round long enough"

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
 TROUBLE AND DON'T KNOW IT

Most people do not realize the alarm- Ing increase and remarkable prevalency of kidney disease. While kidney dis orders are the most common diseases that prevail, they are almost the last recognized by patient and physicians, who content themselves with doctoring the effects. while the original disease undermines the system.
 Your other organs may need attention but your kidneys should have atten- tion first because their work is most important.
