ordered, they fall behind in filtering

illness, headache, backache and irreg-
ularity of the kidney secretions are
all signs of weak or disordered kid
neys and should not be neglected.

The mountain districts have suffer-

years they have been able to obtain
no clothing and very little food from
the surrounding towns. The Amer

are a big event in the various towns

manner. The children strew flowers
in the path of the arriving American
workers, and elaborate ceremonies
precede the presentations of clothing
