11l Health Often Due to
Neglect of Kidneys
Many organs take part in assimi
lation of food, and a number are ac
tive in eliminating those portions of
the food which arc not taken into
the blood for the upbuilding of th 9
hodv. 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.

the sound of her own volco galvan

All's Well That
9£ Ends Well M
By JANE McLEAN.
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 was never allowed to punish him 1
without Interference on your part. |
Now look at him. He'll never amount i

to a thing, and he lias no respect at i
all for you, just laughs at you for an I
easy mark after he has taken every- j
thing you have. Eet me tell you. he
can't do that with me. I'm through!"
The little mother said nothing. 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. M.: If the circumstances!
are as you represent, there should be :
no bar to an early wedding. Even the I
Army should not be allowed to stand!
in the way.
NO MORE
FOOT MISERY
ICE-MINT
A NEW DISCOVERY STOIS '
SORENESS AND CORNS
FALL OFF
>i^—
Just a touch or two with ice-mint
and your corns and foot troubles are
ended. It takes the soreness right out,
then the corn or callous shrivels and
lifts ofT.
No matter what you have tried or
how many times you have been disap
pointed here is a real help for you at
last.
You will never have to cut a corn
again or bother with bungling tape
or plasters.
Hard corns, soft corns or corns be
tween the toes just shrivel up and lift
off so easily. It's wonderful. You feel
no pain or soreness when applying
Ice-mint or afterwards. It doesn't
even irritate the skin.
This new discovery made from a
Japanese product is certainly magical
the way it draws out inflammation
from a pair of swollen, burning, ach
ing feet. Ice-mint imparts such a de
lightful cooling, soothing feeling to
the feet that it just makes you sigh
with relief. It is the real Japanese
secret for fine, healthy little feet. It
is greatly appreciated by women who
wear high heel shoes. It absolutely
prevents foot odors and keeps thern
sweet and comfortable.
It costs little and will give your
poor, tired, suffering, swollen feet the
treat of their lives. Sold and recom
mended by good druggists everywhere.
