Kidney & Co.
(BY DR. J. H WATSON)
The kidneys and the skin work in
harmony. They're companions, the
skin being the second partner.” If we
are anxious to keep well and preserve
the vitality of the kidneys and, also,
free the blood from noxious elements,
we must pay special attention to a
good action of the skin and to see that
the kidneys are fiushed so as to elimi-
nate the poisons from the blood.
« Sweating, by hard work or in a bath,
at least once a week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition.
. Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty
of pure water with meals and between
meals. Occasionally obtain at the drug
store Anuric, double strength, which
will help flush the kidneys and the in-
testines. You will find that Anuric is
many times more active than lithia
and that it dissolves uric acid as hot
water does sugar.

Clarion, Pa.—*I have been suffering
for years from disordered kidneys,
backache and headache. I doctored
with several doctors and tried several
other medicines, but with no avail. I
at last began taking Dr. Pierce’s Anu-
ric Tablets and they have cured me of
my backache and headache, and I have
better health now than I have had for
21 years. I had not been able to do
my housework. I am now able to do
my work, go to church, and do a lot of
walking. I have a splendid appetite
and sleep well and feel good in the

Hayden Lee knew that the face upon
which his hand rested was that of a
woman, for it was soft and delicately
profiled. ‘He knew that she must be}
young, for though she was utterly un-
conscious, her slight bresthing was{
quick and even. There he was, in total |
darkness, and had nearly stumbled
over the recumbent form at the bot-
tom of the stairs,
She had fainted or fallen, and had
not been long in her present position, |
for the snow and damp still clung to!
her garments.
“Heaven help her! A wild, wintry
pight like this!” he murmured, “and
she must be poor and wretched, in-’
deed, to have wandered to this poor |
neighborhood and driven to. seek shel
ter in this forlorn old rookery!” 4
For such his habitation for the past
six months was, in fact and verity.
The remaining wing of a dilapidated
old building, it had presented the wel-
come feature of the merest nominal
rent in the world to his sister Prue
and himself. He had lost his position.
as draughtsman at a critical time, Ili-
ness had ensued, then spasmodic plece-
work done at home. They had bright
ened up the smoke-stained rooms as
best they might and had secured some
second-hand furniture at a nominal
price. As for the rest, Prue's aitigence
had brought what comfort “he. ‘poer
outfit could yield. DE
Lee lifted the limp form in Bis arms
and called up the dark Siait@ey 1} ‘-
“Prue—a lamp, quick I”
A door opened, light flooded the
scene and his sister stared in a star-
tled way down the stairs.
“What has happened?’ she votced
flutteringly. “A woman?”
“Yes, I found her here. Fainted, or
overcome with the cold. She. ‘needs in-
stant attention.”
His tones were vibrant, for the flick-
ering lamplight had revealed the fair-
est face he had ever seen. He was a
lover of beauty and the lovely features
presented to his vision stirred all of
sympathy and interest in his readily
impressed nature.
He bore his burden up the stairs and
into the little sitting room and laid it
on the couch. His sister stood holding
the lamp aloft and peering, fascinated,
with parted lips and marveling eyes,
The stranger could not have been,
more than twenty years of age. Her
garments were bedraggled, but were of
the richest material. On one hand was
a brilliant diamond circlet and a wed-
ding ring. Then she was a wife? A
widow? Lee was ashamed at the sub-
tle disappointment the discovery had
caused him.
Prue roused to her normal, precio!
bustling self. She had their involun-
tary guest removed to her own room.
Then Prue began expert ministrations.
After the lapse of an hour she came
“| out into the room where her brother
was pacing the’ floor, quite stirred up
by the strange happening of the
hour.
“Our guest has a fever, but is con-
scious,” she spoke in her grave,
thoughtful way.
“What did she say?” inquired Hay-
den eagerly.
“She asked where she was. I told
her, even to our reduced condition: I
told her, too, she must think of noth-
ing but rest and that she would be wel-
come here until she was stronger. She
.| roused a little and, as her eyes rested
on her hand, she suddenly tore off the
rings and violently flung them into
the farthest corner of the room. ‘All
ended—that!” she cried out; ‘and the
little one safe, safe, safe! I am con-
tent”
For three weeks the strange guest
hovered between life and death. Twice

lady seated in one of

gO
seraphic as she held out a thin, wasted
hand to welcome him.
“What do I owe you dear people,”
she said, and bent her head, sobbing
from emotion.
An extra mouth to feed meant a
good deal to the Lees, but manfully,
$ | gladly, Hayden devoted himself to ex-
tra work. If got to be elysium com-
plete to Hayden to sit for an hour in
the company of Mrs. Lind, as she re-
quested them to call her, and his sis-
ter.
~ One evening Lee was in the kitchen,
as was his wont assisting Prue in dis-
posing of the supper dishes, when
there was a sharp scream. BotH
rushed, startled, into the sitting room.
.4rs. Lind lay prone on the floor. The
evening paper was crushed in her:
‘clenched hand. They carried her in-
to Prue’s room. In the meantime Lee
had inspected the paper, wondering
if something it contained had caused
the collapse of their guest. Mrs. Lind
soon revived, but made no explanation
as to the cause of her recent emotion.
What was the astonishment and de-
{pression of Lee when he came home
t next day to find Prue half in tears and
looking dreadfully woebegone.
“She has left us,” she announced.
“You don’t mean that Mrs. Lind is
gone!” gasped Hayden.
“Yes, brother. As soon as you were
gone she asked me for a heavy veil,
dressed herself and went out, saying
she would soon return, which she did.
I went to the store to get some 'gro-
ceries. When I came back she was
gone, Her rings were missing and
there lay a fifty-dollar bill and a note.
She must have sold or pawned her
jewelry. The note said simply that
we should hear from her soon, that
her whole future was changed and
blessed you as the good genius of her
life.
It was then that Hayden Lee knew
how much this mysterious guest had
heen to him. He tried to hide it from
his sister, but Prue grieved, for she
read the truth in his troubled face.
A week went by—two, three, a
month, and then there was a visitor
to the cheerless little home one eve-
ning. ‘The caller, according to his card,
was James Page, lawyer.
“I come from the lady you have
known as Mrs. Lind,” he told Hayden
Lee. “She has made me aware of
what you two ‘great-hearted people
have been to her. I have instructions
to reveal sufficient of my client's situ-
ation to give you an understanding of
a remarkabe change in her affairs.”
And then the story of a broken life
was told. A sordid, worthless spend- |
‘thrift had won Norma Dale, His name
w aS Walton Bruce. A liffle child was
but the father went on his selfish,
reckless gambling way. Norma had
wedded: without the consent of her fa-
ther. Bruce had tried to induce her
to appeal to him for money. She re-
fused, for she knew that if would be
wasted, and would only lead to re-
| newed exactions.
Norma Bruce went through a ter-
rible year of neglect and abuse. Final
ly, her cruel ‘husband threatened to re-
move and hide her babe unless she as-
sisted him in plundering her father.
She fled from her home, placed her
child in safe hands, and fainted away
‘on the Lee doorstep the night Hayden
discovered her.
: “Her husband was shot dead in a
gambling house brawl,” narrated the
| lawyer. “Mrs. Bruce is reconciled with
I her father and her child is with them.
She says you must come and share
her bounty.”
“Her gratitude is all we ask to cher-
L ish,” murmured Hayden.
All the same, time and a woman's
1 will brought matters to where she
wished them. Mr. Dale’s influence se-
cured Hayden a lucrative position.
Prue became a visitor, then a neigh-
bor, then the dearest friend of Norma.
As for Hayden, at the end of the year
‘between himself and Norma, there had
expanded a mutual love that insured
no later parting.
Have Peculiar Accent.
In a recent interview with a French
woman in Paris who has taught French
to Americans and other foreigners for
many years, she said in response to a
question concerning the difficulty of
teaching the right pronunciation of the
language: -
“They all have the same trouble;
they make the same mistakes. One of
my pupils wrote me some time ago that
her daughter was coming to me in
Paris, having spent a year in a French
school in Switzerland. The mother
called upon me and remarked that her
daughter would doubtless have a bet-
ter accent than most of my young
American pupils. ‘Oh, no, I replied,
‘she will talk easily, doubtless, but her
accent will be exaetly like that of every
other American, You see I know, I
have been teaching Americans too long
net to know. It is a problem of the
ear. Americans do not hear the
French sounds correctly.”
The Man of Fifty-four.
There are a good many of them—
men of fifty-four, hale, sturdy, uever
more fit in their lives, doing their twd
or three rounds of the 18-hole courses
in a day, utterly refusing to confess
themselves beyond the very opening
hours of middle age, looking on life
with the old boy's wise and tolerant
eye. It is the best year of manhood,
when mau has accumulated experience
enough to know really all the things
he thought he knew at twenty-one, and
can order hig thoughts and his days in
accordance with his accumulated wis-
dom.—New York Sun.

Whole Truth of Buddhism.
Dcin Zenshi, a ‘great Buddhist
priest, once lived on top of a tree in a
mountain; so peopie nicknamed him
“owl priest.” Someone interrupted
his meditations one day with the fol-
lowing question :
“What, in a nutshell, is the truth of
Buddha's religion >
“Bschew ail sins and practice all
virtues,” replied the priest without
opening his eyes.
“Oh, is that all?” said the man sar-
castically. “Even a child of three years
ean say that.”
“Yes, even a child of three years can
say that’ rejoined the priest, “but an
old man of eighty years caunot put it
into practice.”—Tokyo Advertiser.
