HOW
RHEUMATISM

The excruciating agonies of rheuma-

the kidneys to expel poisons from the
system. If the irritation of these uric
acid crystals is allowed to continue, in
durable bladder or kidney disease may
result. Attend to it at once. Don't
resort to temporary relief. The sick
kidneys must be restored to health by
the use of some sterling remedy which
will prevent return of the disease.

CHIEF TAHANS STORY FOR KIDDLES
lTHUNDERBIRD,S EYES MADE THE
FIRST FIRE
HOW MAN CAME TO BE A FRIEND OF FIRE
BY CHIEF TAHAN
OF the Kiowa Indian Tribe

Now, do you remember the story
] told you about the Thunderbird and
how he makes the thunder storms
when he fights with the Rattlesnake?
Well, one time he had the most ter
rible fight with him. 1t was awful.
Thunderbird got so mad in that
fight that he opened and shut his
eyes faster than ever before.
That made so much fire blaze out
of them that 1t came clear down to
! the earth.
Some of it went into a hollow tree
at the top, and ran clear down to
the roots OF 1t, and stayed there.
That was the first fire hat was
ever made
After awhile the Buzzard saw the
black fire-breath coming out of the
tree top and he told all of the ami
NAL people about the strange sight.
Then all of the animal people held
q council and talked a long time;
for they wanted to find out what the
thing was and what it was good for.
fAt last they sent the Buzzard back
to see about it. He flew right over
to where it was and lit on the
ground at the root of the tree.
He saw something through a hole
in the tree and he poked his head
through the hole to get a good look
at IL, but he didn't let his head stay
in there very long.
Then he few back to the council
and told the animal people hat he
thought the thing wasn't good for
anything.
Pretty soon they all noticed that
the fire had burnt all of the feathers
or of his head.
That is the reason thst the Buzz
yards head is bare.
Then they sent the Owl to fetch
the news about the thing. with the
black breath that took feathers off.
When he got back he could hardly
see; his yes were red n there
were rings around them.
The wind had blown the ashes into
white rings which he can never rub
off, and his eyes are red yet.
All of this made the animal people
believe that fire is n bad Thing; and
they are afraid of it yet.
After awhile a Man saw the black
breath coming out of the tree-top
and he, too, was afraid of 1t, for he
knew what it had done to the animal
people. The Man stood away off
from it for a while, hen he crept
closer and closer.
Pretty soon it made him feel good
and warm, for he had been feeling
chilly.
But when he put out his hand and
the fire he drew it back
quickly.
For it nae burnt one of his fingers.
Then he went up and threw a stick
at it just to see what the Fire would ),
In a little while the fire ate up the
stick so that nothing was left of IL.
That made the Man think thai
the Fire was his friend, for 1t
took his gift.
He went up and put a piece of
on the fire, but when it didn't
it all up he o o what was left
OF the meat and put it into his mouth
and it tasted good.
He thought it was the best meat
had ever eaten. And that Is how
the Man came to make a friend of
the fire. I

This is read as an unimportant day
in planetary direction According to
astrologers, the Sun is strongly ad-
verse, while Neptune rules kindly.
The stars seem to foreShadow q
prolonged period of stress for men
and women in positions of authority.
They will be subject to harsh criti-
cism and oftentimes to unjust judge
ment.
The Sun is in an aspect detrimental
to the interests of all persons who
rule whether in government or in
business.
There is a sign making for an ac-
cess of curiosity concerning public af-
fairs. A tendency to uncover what
ever is hidden will cause many In
vestigations.
Congress continues under a rule Of
the planets that will encourage bit
ter discussion, party discussions n

Religion will come much to the fore
in the public consciousness and there

vision and new activities will employ
the energies of church folk.
Immortality will appear to increase
greatly during the summer months
and reformers will agitate problems of
