Of the eliminative organs, the liver and the kidneys are of major importance, and are most likely to be overworked and become diseased. When such is the case, various trou bles of a digestive and eliminative character occur, and such troubles are so freuqent and so common that it is absolutely necessary to find some relief. Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Remedy was compounded over 40 years ago to help equalize the work of both kidneys and liver. How successful it has been is evi denced by its widespread sale and its value is attested by an immense number of appreciative users who through these many years have put it to the severest tests with the most satisfactory results.

HP had never amounted to any thing. but he had somehow a lovable | quality. It wasn't at all because he ! <lt served to be loved, but he had in- | herited more than his share of good 1 looks, and this fact was a large credit, mark. His mother was a pale-faced little woman, tired out with the strain ot trying to help him make good. His father, fair and just always in mat t rs of business, with the conscious ness that he had failed somehow to; make his son what he had dreamed, had grown bitter. He was prone to blame the little, white-faced mother, j who shivered under the criticism but clung bravely to the belief that her boy would succeed. After he had lost many positions and bad sneaked home late one night to be let in noiselessly by his mother he slept for nearly two days. His father said nothing—he did not even go to the boy's room; but the little mother worried and cared for him. and her little white face kept getting whiter, until she looked like a ghost of her self. One day even that six feet of splendid manhood, lying full length in his narrow brass bed, noticed it and said carelessly: . "What you been doing to yourself, mom—you look peaked?" Oh. nothing. Dan," she had re returned quickly, and then she added timidly: "Ain't you goin' to get up and try for that job?" He yawned. "Sure, but don't keep r.aggin' a fellow. You women are ail made that way." And lie was too J busy gobbling fried eggs and bacon j and taking long swallows of fragrant! coffee to notice the furtive tear that ] stole down the whitejface of the little J mother who had never given up hop ing. When he had finished his breakfast he lay back once more on the pillow and laughed good naturedly, telling in j his own inimitable manner a funny | experience, until the face of the j mother relaxed and she smiled a little! bit in spite of herself. She smiled while she washed up the breakfast; dishes and continued to smile when he came downstairs and, kissing her ! carelessly, went out. He did not tell i her where he was going, and she did i not ask him. for fear he would think* she was nagging, but he borrowed a dollar from her. "Be back for dinner." he called out. Cut he didn't come back for Minner, j and he didn't come the next night nor I the next, and his father's face grew j longer and more disapproving each night, and when he spoke, he spoke only to accuse the white-faced little woman of her laxnc • • in bringing up j her son." "He knows he can wheedle any thing out of you," the man said bit- i tcrly. Think of the money you've! let him take. It was always that way from the time he was a boy. !

I There was really nothing to say. but j she thought in her heart that perhaps \ tlio boy did love her a little bit. anil , she would rather have him come to | her if only to borrow than not to j have him call at all. Two weeks later the two were sit- 1 ting over the lamp in the little front room when the bell rang imperiously.! The father looked up over his glasses . and the little woman's eyes lilled with a sudden dread. She knew that rinjf, and she was afraid to answer it. Too often it' had brought her boy heme the worse for wear and if she ! could smuggle him to bed without his \ father's knowing it, she did not mind ; so much, but to let him in now. when I his father's heart was so sore and j bitter against him, was a physical I impossibility. She hesitated, and the j man opposite her looked at her keen- i ly. "I'll go," he vouchsafed,, and she ! crouched in her chair with wide eyes j waiting for what would come. "Hello, dad," said the voice she loved on earth, and the instant she \ heard it ringing true and clear, she! v.as out of her chair and in a big; pair of arms. Then she stood back and looked at him. He stood six feet 1 of splendid manhood, immaculate in | blue serge. His bare brown throat ' looked somehow a splendid support ! for the head that carried high, and his eyes were blue and keen. "Dan," she gasped. "Dan!" He laughed a little in the old way, i and stood away from her proudly, j "I've enlisted!" he said simply. "O. my dear, my dear," she said, the tears beginning to run down her cheeks," you're so young." "He's all right, mother," said the j grim-faced man, speaking for the | first time. "Shake hands, boy." And i hope flared once again within the j mother's heart, although, woman-like, she dreaded the future. Advice to the Lovelorn LET HIM DO HIS HIT DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am nineteen years of age and j keeping company with a gentleman of twenty-one. He wants to join the Navy, for he feels it his duty to do his bit, too, but holds back because j he does not want to leave me. He j has asked my opinion on this mat-1 ter, but I refuse to discuss it, for I don't want him to go, and still I don't want to hold him back. A. G. | Of course, you mustn't hold him j back from doing his bit. Since the| boy you love feels the call to give j his services to his country, the girl j who loves him must not come be-; tween him and his feeling of pa triotism and right. We all have to sacrifice our personal happiness, now.! to the needs of our country and ofi humanity itself. BECOME A WAR BRIDE Dear J. J.
