man brought her to the home. and
now the tiny wrists and ankles are
still pitifuIly thin and the blue eyes
unnaturally large and dark.

air OF the country If her little bark
is to be brought safely ashore by

I'm coming for you to go to the

"Ill be delighted!" 1 told her, and
l meant it. l knew l should be think
ing Of what had occurred between
Neil and Mr.. Scott; what had been
said. Neil was determined to tell me
nothing of his affairs; and so long as
he refused, what was the use of max
ing myself unhappy over them? l was
convinced now that it was more be-
cause he was smarter than these other
men, that they were in a sense jealous
of his success, and that was the reason,
and that only why they had flung out
their insinuations

raine was always good company, even
though she was inclined to gossip a
little-perhaps more interesting be-
cause of this! She insisted that
stay out and lunch with her. 1 was
nothing loath, and we fixed upon Sher-
rvs as the place where we could see
more people we knew.
The head waiter, who knew us both,
gave us a very nice table on the bal

ordered and were waiting to be serv-

Why should they be together? Neil
had said nothing of their knowing each
other. Did he know It? If he did it
was strange that he had not invited
Mr.. and Mrs Orion to dinner the night
before. Mo- I concluded he knew
nothing of it. Just then I turned to-
ward where they were seated and saw
Neil come in and join them
Lorraine had not seen him. Should
I tell her, or should I say nothing? l

Daily Health Talks
q WORD ABOUT THE KgDMEYs
PY nOCvrOR w n,cONr
BY DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when
they think something is the matter with
their lungs or heart, and well they
may be; but few people understand
the dangers of diseased kidneys. These
organs have a duty of vital Importance
to perform, and if they are diseased,
there is no telling how or where the
symptoms may appear. The kidneys
are filters, and when they are healthy
they remove the poisons from the blood
and purify it, When the kidneys are
diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one of these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all
through the system and deposited in
various places, in the form of urate
salts in the feet, ankles, wrists and
back - often forming bags under the
eyes. Sometimes the resulting trouble
is called rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica
and backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's
disease.
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that a certain COM
bination of remedies would dissolve uric
acid (urate salts) in the system. He
found this combination to be harmless,
SO that he made it up in tablets,
of double strength, and called them
Anuric Tablets. They dissolve uric
acid in the human system as hot coffee
dissolves sugar. If you have uric acid
troubles, don't delay in taking Anuric
Tablets, which can be secured in the
drug stores. You can write DIR. Pierce,
too, and he will tell you what to eat
and how to live so that more uric acid
will not form in your system. DIR. Pierce
will not charge for this advice.

KANSAS TO FILE SUIT
Federal Supreme Court viii De-
eide Telephone Case.
Postmaster General Burleson's Au-
thority to Increase Rates Will
Be Passed Upon.

Washington, March 19.-Authority
or Postmaster General Burleson to in
crease the telephone rates will be de-
termined by the supreme court, which
granted Kansas permission to insti-
tute original proceedings against the
postmaster general, questioning the
validity of his order of Dec. 13 last
establishing new toll rates. The court
ordered that return be made in the
case in October.
State railroad commissioners had
planned to arrange suit to test the
right of the Railroad administration to
prescribe intra-state rates, following
the same legal procedure as that of
the Kansas telephone case, providing
the supreme court admitted the Kan
sas case. Since this cannot be heard
until the October term, however, 1t is
probable some other suit will be ar
ranged by the state commissioners and
the Railroad administration to obtain
court decision on the point of dis
pute between the two interests.
