WHAT The KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us

All the blood in the body passes
| through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
| healthy they remove about 500
grains of impure matter daily, when
unhealthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
ltams-which vary widely but may in
clude pain in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin, rhcumat-
ic pains, govt, gravel, disorders of
| the eyesight and hearing, dizziness,
dropsy. deposits in the urine, etc.
But if you keep the filters right the

New Use for Asbestos.

A new and important use for as
bestos has been found. It's wide adop-
ton depends on the finding OF new
sources of the material. One Of the
latest suggestions, which has been car
ried out on an appreciate scale IN
the United States, is the construction
and permanent casting mOlds for the
production of the lighter kinds OF
metal castings. In making these
mods, the ground asbestos is mixed
with suitable binder and pressed
into form or flask over a master pat.
ern, and is then stoped slowly up to 3
temperature of 800 degrees f. This
preliminary drying removes the bulk
st the moisture. and establishes the
binder. The pattern is then removed
and the form heated up again to
/. Temperature several hundred degrees
in excess of the temperature to which
the form will be. usually exposed
After this treatment the forms q
y molds are ready for use, and. It Is
said, may be employed indefinitely;
at any rate, MS many as LOO castings
have been made from one of these

HISTORY TOLD IN MosAIcs
Beautiful Examples Of Early Art to
Be Found in the Ruined Temples
Of Egypt.

One of the earliest attempts at ar
tistic expression was through the me-
dunn Of the mosaic. Ruins OF that IL
centious city Of the East, Nineveh,
contain examples of the art. Nosa-
les are found frequently in the ru-
ined temples Of Egypt.
1t was in Greece that the art was
first used to any great extent. All
through the rocky little peninsula
may be found the beauty of the Hell
lenic temperament expressed in mo-
sale. The erectheum, in Athens con-
structed about the fifth century B.
c.. contains many exquisite speci.
mems worked in both glass and mar.
BILE ~.
Mosaic did not reach it's highest de.
vclopment, however, until the power
of Rome had bloomed to the full. The
Romans not only utilized this form
Of art themselves to a great extent.
but spread it all through their con-
Qrered territories. One of the ways
Of tracking the footsteps of the Ro-
man condheror is by means of the mo-
safes he built. The art was contin-
ued down through the medieval and
renaissance periods, flourishing espe-
cially in Italy.-Exchange.

On account of Mr.. W. H. Codding
having resigned his position as stamp

according to present plans the changes
will be as follows, effective Nov. l6,
1920: Freeman A. Anderson, city
carrier, will be transferred to the gen.
eral delivery and stamp clerk position
formerly occupied by Mr.. Codding;
R. D. Christof'erson, formerly substi
tute carrier will take Mr.. Anderson's
place and Roy P. Colburn will be ap-
