IMPOSSIBLE FICTION

The pretty young wife, passing the
shop window display of new spring
hats, turned her eyes in the opposite
direction and passed on, refusing to
stop to notice them.
Receiving a communication written
with dull lead pencil on both sides
Of the paper the editor smiled and be-
gan reading it.
The head of the family, having just
received bill for his wife's and daugh-
ter's new Easter hats, chuckled to him
self and nodded approvingly.
Getting up suddenly in the middle
of the night the man rushed through
the darkness and managed to elude
every piece of furniture in the ROOM
Picking up the first hat she came
to, the young woman tried it on, paid
for it and walked out of the store
without a word.

the fabric from her lap and FASTENED

small pail from its hook, she inquired
of nobody at all, "NOw where's the
cover" But that article eluded her
search. "Well, III have to go with
out 1t and mind my step, that's ALL"
Ten minutes later the hatless Rena
emerged from the grocery carefully
carrying the pail and, head down,
against the wind, hurried across the
street, turned the corner-and col
lied with a young man who was APP
preaching from the opposite Glirec-
ton. There were direful results. The
"loose" milk no longer occupied the
pail. Most Of it spread out over the
dark overcoat of the stranger, trick
ling thence to the sidewalk.
"Oh," exclaimed Rena. "What In
blazes-" began the young man. But
at this point he raised his head from
rueful contemplation of the coat,
looked at the embarrassed girl and
shifted to this remark: ITS rather
mess, isn't it?"
Rena was forced to agree. 'If you'll
come up to my mothers apartment,
I'll wipe 1t off with cold water, and
/ don't think it will show"
1t has been said that the young
man looked at Rena, but 1t has not
been related what he saw; and it was
what he saw, quite as much as the
desire to have his coat made respect
able again, that caused the stranger
to accept the invitation with alacrity.
Rena, with her laughing brown eyes
and abundant, glossy brown hair, was
easy to look upon.
Mrs. Browning, opening the door
Of the Apartment soon afterward,
heard laughing voices and followed
them to their source in the kitchen.
She beheld her daughter scrubbing at

PHYSICALLY FIT
AT ANY AGE

It isn't age, it's careless living that
puts men "down and out" Keep your
internal organs in good condition and
you will always be physically fit.
The kidneys are the most over
worked organs in the human body.
When they break down under the
strain and the deadly uric acid ac-
cumulates and crystallizes look out!
These sharp crystals tear and scratch
the delicate urinary channels causing
cxcruciating pain and set up irrita-
lions which may cause premature de-
generation and often do turn into
deadly Bright's Disease.
One of the first warnings of slug
gsh kidney action is pain or stiffness
in the small of the back, loss of appe-
tite, Indigestion or rheumatism.

you. At the first indication of trouble
