 Just tired little girl, Tommy. Just tired little girl" To my sur prise I found tears rolling down my cheeks.

If Kidneys Ache

Take Roots ana Herbs to
Flush Kidneys and Wash
Out Irritating Acids

If your kidneys hurt or bladder
bothers drink lots of water and re-
member these weaknesses result from
uric acid. 1t is the duty cf the kidneys
to remove waste material from the
system; if they become overworked
and sluggish they fail in their efforts
to filter and strain all the waste poi
sons from your blood. Practically all
rheumatism, back ache, dizziness, con-
Stipation, sleeplessness and bladder
weakness come from clogged kidneys.
To have strong, healthy kidneys,
capable of easily and normally filter
ing from YOUR blood 500 grains of
Toxins (Poisons,) which they shoald
do every u hours, you simply must
keep them clean and active and the
acids neutralized so that your kidney
and bladder troubles will be ended.
Then you can forget you have a set of
kidneys or a bladder, Just a natural
stlmulant is necessary. Simply get a
bottle of DR.. Carey's PRESCRIPTION
NO. III Tablets or Liquid) made
from harmless roots, herbs and leaves
and take right after eating. You will
be delighted with the results it will
bring. All good druggists can supply
you.

Courtship in Burma is a more open
and natural Irritation than it is in al
most any other part of the East. The
young man usually manifests his in
terest at one of the pagoda feasts by
shy attentions; he then calls in COM
pany with his boy friends to find that
the young lady with a bevy of her
friends is awaiting him. He means
business, however, and if the families
consent. he persuades her to eat a
meal with him in public, and by virtue
of this procedure his bachelhood is
brought to an abrupt end.
