Reten tion of this toxic material often makes its presence MR by sore, pain ful joints, a tired, languid feeling and, sometimes, toxic backache and headache. That the kidneys are not functioning right is often shown by scanty or burning passage of secre tions. Thousands assist their kidneys at such times by the use of Doan’s Fills—a stimulant diuretic.

Many reverses fcyd come to Uranny In her day, but through all of them she bad managed to keep a cheerful, smiling face, and hack of that a cheerful heart, too. .She owned a small farm near town ami managed to get from It enough of the necessities of life, but few of Its tusniies. But Granny GUI- more was not the type who set much store on luxuries. Her granddaughter, Margaret, lived with her, the only one left to her now. Margaret vYus much like her grand mother in looks and manner. She had her romantic turn of mind, too, and loved to listen to the old woman as ,she told of her girlhood and how she was wooed and won Ur^Grandfutlier Gilltuore. It was only when^£Uistraas came that Granny Glllu^uYwtshed that she had more of ttwKaiaterlal things of life. She woultfvy like to give freely, generously, largely, as she had done In the long ago when things were dif ferent with her. Kvery Christmas, however, she did give something. Six lovely plump chickens that were raised on the little farm went to the neediest families in town. And she made It a point, no matter how cold the weather, to drive In with Margaret and deliver them personally. And In each home. In addition to the gift she brought, she left some of the love and cheer that was In her heart. Now. she and Margaret had deliv ered the packages, made the few pur= chases they needed and were making ready for the homeward Journey. Then fate stepped In to change things a bit. Granny slipped as she was step ping Into the old-fashioned buggy. Margaret picked her up, frightened beyond measure. Granny insisted that she was not hurt, hut Margaret would have It thfct they must see the doctor before leaving town." Still Insisting that she was not hurt, Granny allowed herself to be led there. Doctor Stuart was away, but his assistant, Doctor Andrews, examined Granny very care fully. But he could find no Injury—it was just as Granny had said—not a bit of harm done. However, the visit to Doctor An drews turned out to be a rather long one. Doctor Andrews seemed to be more than interested in Granny. He had been hearing about her during the two years lie had spent at Tower and his heart went out to the sweet, gen tie-faced old woman. But later events proved that It went out more com pletely to her pretty young grand daughter, for when the following Christmas came Granny was prepar ing fowls for a big wedding feast.— Katherine Edelman.

BALLEW had xUH'baen married long enough to for- _ get wedding anniversaries, but were atlll trying to observe Christmas giving. “NoW, I must give Ray something splendid. Reverses must not stop the Christmas giving. He always gives me more than I do him. My thirty- live dollars will boy him the golf out fit, but then he would be away all the time and I so wanted a tea-cart with my money, so little I can give Ray. He has Ids tl.es, soefcs. and shirts —and they’ve never been worn—that I gave him last year. 1 have an Idea! HI fix up a box of them and re-present them. He will never know the differ ence and what we don’t kno^rdoesn’t hurt us.” philosophized Mrs. Ba.lew. In rushed Ray to dinner. ’‘Hello, VI!

It will come fn fine when lie has his stag parties." It was Christmas Eve, and If there is anything tjiat delights a woman, at that time, it Is the belief'that her husband has a diamond In hiding for her. “Say, Buy. let’s give our gifts this evening for we leave so early In the morning, and I want to see the sparkle of mine." Viola noticed Ray’s eyes droop but continued: “Honey, I have you a useful gift, something different and one that yon can enjoy with the mer..'* • “By Jinks! thought Ray, “she’s got my golf outfit.

Well, honey, I’ll have to set yours up—but It’s n peach.” t “A .baby-grand piano!” exclaimed Viola; “just what I wanted, and here I’ve been selfish enough to give you a ten-cart.” “Honey, that’s all right. I believe in practical gifts. I wanted to give you something—something you could entertain your club with. I could hard ly afford It. dear, but a wife like you deserves the best—I got you—er— well, I got you a radio.”—Emily Burks Adams. ((c). 1#?8.
