Yes. From Boston.

In one of the southern training
camps profane and perspiring infan.
try sergeant was doing his best to
pound into the heads of a squad of ex-
ceedingly raw 'rOokies" the rudiments

When the sergeant gave an order
each willing recruit of the squad made
a commendable effort TO execute it,
but every little rookie had a movement
all his own, with highly unsatisfactory
results.
-As you were! :" bawled the sergeant.
At this point the proceedings were
interrupted by recruit from Boston,

WHEN KIDNEYS
ACT TOO OFTEN

If bothered with that form of kidney
trouble which causes too frequent or excess
sive passage of urine, don't expect relief
from medicines that are intended for com
mon kidney complaint. These remedies
generally are intended to increase kidney
action.
Liquid Shu Make should always be used
where the kidneys are over active during
the day or at night. 1t is not cure for
all forms of kidney trouble, but is in
tended for over-activity of the kidneys of
both children and adults alike, especially
for children bothered with kidney action
at night.
Ask any druggist for Liquid Shu Make
or enclose sixty cents to the Shumake
Remedy Company, Fort Worth. Texas, for
bottle by return mail-Adv.

A story told by Bishop Greer illus
trates the plain nature of the man. On
ar occasion when he was to confirm a
class carriage was sent for him in
charge of an English cOachman who
had been imported by a wealthy Amer

panied and in non-clerical dress from
his front door to the carriage and en-
tered it-but the driver did not move
his horses. After waiting for a mo-
nient the bishop asked the man why
he did not drive on.
I'm waiting for the lord bishop
of New York, sir" the proper person
replied.
