O NE can’t feel well when there la
a retention of poisonous waste
In the blood. This is called a toxic
condition, and is apt to make one
tired, dull and languid. Other symp
toms are sometimes toxic backaches
and headaches. That the kidneys are
not functioning properly is often
shown by scanty or burning passage
of secretions. Many people have
learned the value of Doan’s Pitts, a
stimulant diuretic, when the kidneys
seem functionally inactive. Every

Thm Lonely Old Lady?*
Christmas Valentine
flTHE lonely old lady sat In the
vfcl/ twilight as the evening star
looked in through the window
•nd wondered why she seemed so sad.
The star was bright enough that Christ
mas Eve to guide anyone to gladness,
but she who sat there did not appear
to know it. There were yet a few
sparks amid the ashes of the hearth
fire, and warmth had, not wholly de
ported from the room; there were
points of light in the maxe of mem
ories that kept the past alive, and at
heart the silent thinker was not cold;
but darkness was creeping over soli
tude. and time was registering age.
and ihe old lady was lonely.
There was a picture on the wall
of one who had been the strength and
Joy of, earlier days, but years l\nd
passed over his grave In o* distant
landC ■■£ *,
There were other pictures looking
down upon ber with youtfg and happy
faces, but they were pictures of chil
dren who had blessed other homes,
placed about to keep company with
her dream children, and reminding her
now again that she had none.
So the star might have known that
there was* reason .for pensiveness as
it tried to penetrate the gathering
gloom and the mystery. But whethe r
It learned the secret or not, It wit
nessed as It watched, a light In the dim
room. For she had taken from a port
folio her most preoioils possession, and
she was smiling upon It. It was an
old valentine, the last that she had
received from him who had-never re
turned. It was Inscribed “To My
Valentine." Upon It sat Cupid. In a
wreath of forget-me-nots, holding a
high pyramid of large roses over a
large, circular spider web, with two
hearts entangled In it!
The star mnst have recognized that
It was shining upon the deathlessness
of love, and helping It to share the
Christinas fellowship and cheer.—

“COME rima ago when in a

condition,’' says Mrs. Martha
F. Marlow, of Broken Bow,

dies to try at least to keep
going, but I could not. I was
week and tired—just no good
at all My bade ached and I
had hot flashes until I was so
very nervous" I smothered.
“I couldn’t sleep end I was
never hungry, and I kept get
ting weaker. I couldn't stand
on my feet. This waa an un
usual condition for me as I
had been pretty strong all
along. I knew that I would
have to do something, and
that .pretty soon.
"Some friend suggested that
I take Cardui, and it certainly
waa a good suggestion, four
after taking one bottle I could

Helping Santa Claus
—Assistants Needed
children had had such a Jolly
'lirlstnias. Their Joy and de
light had been » Joy and delight
to see. But that Christmas afternoon
she hearti of a story that saddened
her. A little girl and a little boy had
gathered a tree from the woods and j
had left It for Santa Claus to trim.
Eagerly Christmas morning they
had gone down stairs to see the tree, j
but It was just as they had left It.
Santa Claus had not come, and they
bad followed nil the rules they had
been told about calling up the chimney
to him. . »
Their family were both poor and
tacking tfi imagination. Struggle and
111 health had driven any lurking
Imagination from them.
So she went that evening, her arras ,
laden with tree decorations and odd>
and ends of candies and toys and
asked if she might trim the free. The j
next morning the children were told ^
that Santa Clans had not forgotten
them—he had had to dash over to
the nekt town to do so much that he
hpd beeu delayed. Santa Clans needs
his assistants and no Job In the world
Is much more fun than that of be
ing an assistant to Santa Claus.—’
