The Cost of Smoke.
Owing to the increasing use of soft
coul In .some of the cities and towns
which, hitherto, have been practic
ally free from the objectionable
smoke which results from burning it,
there have been numerous complaints
which have been voiced in the daily
papers. These have all referred to
this smoke as a public nuisance and
a menace to health, but, besides these
very important objections to It, there
Is another, in the actual damage to
household effects and clothing.
Commenting upon this subject tho
December letter of the Anthracite
Coal Operators' Association says that
no uuiount of care can prevent the
impalpable, sooty dust from settling
on carpets and working Its way Into
every fabria It touches, and as u cou
sequence these articles must shortly
be replaced.
It has been claimed that by the use
of certain patented forms of grates
soft coal could be burned without
producing smoke. 1 n some instances
tills has been partially accomplished
at manufacturing works, but never
entirely, nor can it be. Wherever
soft coal Is burned there must be,
owing to the chemical composition of
the iuel, a certain amount of uncoil
sunied carbon escaping, and any sue
cessful smoke-consuming devices
simply reduce this quantity and do
not entirely prevent it.

from the system.

A majority of the ills afflicting people to
day is traceable to kidney trouble. It prevades
all classes of society, in all climates, regard
less of age, sex or condition.
The symptoms of kidney trouble arc unmis
takable, such as rheumatism, neuralgia, sleep
lessness, pain or dull ache in the back, a
desire to urinate often day or night, profuse or
scanty supply.
Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in urine
are sigus of clogged kidneys, causing poisoned
and germ-filled blood. Sometimes the heart
acts badly, and tube casts (wasting of the
kidneys) are found in the urine, which if
neglected will result in Drighl's Disease, the
most dangerous form of kidney trouble.

It Is constantly seen upon (lowers and Is
known by naturalist as cocclnclln. It Is
a tiny creature with a luiril body llko a
shell, which Is of a deep orange color, with
black or red spots or a sprinkling of

will often see n cluster of littlo unibor col
