DANGER IN DELAY
Neglect
Kidney Diseases Are Too Danger
Gus For Americas People To

The great danger of kidney trou-
bles is that they so often get firm
hold before the sufferer recognizes
them. Health will be gradually un-
dermined. Backache, headache,
nervousness, lameness, soreness,
lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy,
gravel and Bright's disease may fol
low as the kidneys get worse. Don't
neglect your kidneys. Help the kid

which are so strongly recommended
right here in Americas.

RECIN HERE TODAY

The Nervous Wreck, an eccen-
tric young easterner, is driving Sal
lv Morgan from her fathers ranch
to the railroad station when the
run out of gasoline. The occupants
Of a passing car refuse to lend
them any, and the Wreck takes five
gallons at the point of a gun.
Later they are held captive at a
ranch along the way because
Charlie McSween, the foreman,
wants Sally for cook, They dis
cover that Mr.. Underwood, the
wealthy New York owner of the
ranch, was in the car which they
held up, and tina he and his boy
and girl are to stay at the ranch
for several weeks. At the risk of
being recognized, the Wreck watt,
on the party in the dining room
and hears them notify Sheriff Bob
Wells, who is Sally's fiance, of the
robbery.

traits.
Just as she feared, they found the
Wreck amusing. A good deal of the
conversation conferred around his
spectacles which he wore, except for
excursion into the dining ROOM
But some rare policy of restraint
seemed to have settled upon him;
he calmly ignored most OF what they
said, and when he did answer it was
with an apparent good nature that
surprised Sally. She knew, however,
that he was not bearing it as easily
as he seemed to be; he was simply
holding himself in Evidently she
had made him understand The need
for caution, and for that she was
thankful.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

Don't let it worry you," said the
Wreck

fectly calm,5' retortpd Sally.
You're nervous anyhow"
I'm not nervous"
I'm an expert on nerves." ho
said You can't fool me. I've
spent my money on specialists and
l know. Right now you're more
nervous than 1 am-and I'm a
Wreck"
There was good deal of that
kind of conversation all afternoon
The Wreck had an idea that if he
could get her really angry she might
forget about the sheriff for a while.
But the only times she got angry
wlre when she thought about Bob
Wells, and then she was Just as
likely to be laughing again the next
minute. AS for getting angry at
the Wreck, she refused. 1t was a

family are here. There's one foorl
left upstairs, but she's awful small
and don't figure that she'll do for
two people. Looks to me like VII

Henry" supplied Sally.
"Well, it looks to me Ike Henry'd
have to take the Chink corner Of the
bunk house. How about it, Henry?"
The Wreck said it would suit aim
exactly.
"The boys amt like to bother you
any, SEEM as you're white" added
Charley.
"They won't bother me- said the
Wreck, significantly.
Sally was not Sc confident; she
knew how "the boys" sometimes
behaved when they had dude on
their hands. But she hoped that
Charley was right, because the
Wreck was not patient young man
and there was no telling what might
happen if they started to haze him.
-Four of the boys came in at sup
per time; there were three more
who We're out haying a look at the
fences and Charley said they might
not be back for a couple of days,
The quartet took one look into the
kitchen and then made quick
start for the bunk house, where
there was more scrubbing and shay
ing within the space Of half an hour
than Underwood's ranch had known
since Charley could remember. Then
they drifted into the kitchen and
hung around.
Sally was always good TO look at,
even when she wore a big apron. IF
she was not downright pretty, she
did not miss the mark by any notice
able distance. There was smooth
fluff in her brown hair that even
Harriet Underwood might have en-
We'd, There was a steady, friendly
look in her brown eyes, which We're
as fine and long-lashed az any pair
that might have been found in the
face of a beauty Her lips had a
pleasant curve when she smiled,
showing strong, beautifully even
teeth which even the Wreck had oh.
served to be white beyond a fault.
The boys at Underwood's ranch
even fell to cleaning their finger
nails as they watched her. Some
how, without even SO much as sug-
costing it by word, or look, Sally
had a way Of creating IN others
men, usualIy-an impulse to he
neat. She did not mind having the
boys sitting around the kitchen,
even though they did not belong
there unit. they Were told TO come
and get supper. There was, how
lever, one feature that bothered her.
She had chosen to be from the east,
like the Wreck, and it was not easy
to play the part. There were lots Of
things that a tenderfoot was not
supposed to know or say and it
kept her constantly on guard to re-
member the fact. She found it safer
to confine herself to Yes" "No, "
and Really" so far as it was pos
sible. The boys laid it TO shyness

that?"
He explained, with a sudden en-
thusiasm that surprised her, that as
soon as he had his process finished
ne was going to take the smoke out
of Pittsburg and take a lot of mon
ey away from the corporations that
made the smoke. 1t was the first
time Sally ever heard him talk muca
about hilnsef, except the nervous
part They knew he was chemist,
and hat was about all. Dad Morgan
not being qualified in chemistry
and regarding it as something thai
existed only in textbooks had neN-
err pressed inquiries. He assumed
that the Wreck was some kind of
q professor and let it go at that.
But it seemed that the Wrack was
a chemist who did things in steel
plants and he had picked up a lot of
information about smoke, as well as
a good deal of smoke itself. He was
going to make Pittsburg as smoke
less as though it were run by cleo
tricity. 1t was only question Of
time and patience and little more
research, he said. He explained the
whole thing to Sally, with a lot of
words that she did not understand;
and while he was talking about
Pittsburg and what he was going to
do to it, she also learned that he was
born in Yonkers, New York, had
three sisters, was a graduate of
college, had been to Europe twice
had lived in Australia, could play
golf, hated the movies and was 80
years old.

forgot about Bob Wells for a few
minutes. Il thought you we're older
than that"
That's because I'm all shot to
pieces" he said, gloomily.

"Wait till you get insomnia"
''Bosh. You only think you're sick.

belonged to the Wreck.

GEORGE LANIER IS
RESTORED TO HEALTH
RECOVERY OF YOUNG MAN
REMARKABLE. KNEW MOTH
ING SEVERAL MONTHS.

George Lanier, the young man who
was seriously injured as the result OF
an accident at Parrot several months
ago, has returned to his home in Ran
dolph county after several weeks at
/ the government hospital in Augusta,
apparently sound in mind and body.
I In noting his recovery and return
home the Cuthbert Leader says:
His is an interesting case. Our
readers will remember that he was in
jured during the peach packing season
at Parrott by fall from all automo-
bile. his skull being fractured. He was
brought to Cuthbert and operated on,
but remained at the hospital for weeks
without reganing control OF his mind,
at times being hard to control. AS he
had seen service in the world war he
was admitted to the government hos
pital at Augusta
Mr.. Lanier attributes his restOra-
tion to young doctor who had charge
OF the ward he was in. This physician
decided that blood clot on the brain
was causing the trouble, and believed
that, unless il were removed, 1t would
cause permanent mental arrangement.
The operation was SO dangerous that
the older physicians refused TO assist,
but with the aid of nurses and attend
ants the young physician operated
successfully. Soon afterwards Mr.. La
nier regained consciousness and his
rapid recovery followed.
"Mr. Lanier says he remembers
nothing that transpired from the time
he was at his boarding house at Par
rott until he regained consciousness in
the Augusta hospital. He does not re-
call how he was hurt
Mr.. Lanier's relatives and friends
welcome him as one whose recovery
was almost despaired OF"
