'Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon j disappear when the kid- ! neys are out of order ! ' or diseased. Kidney trouble has j become so prevalent | that it is not uncommon J\ I/ for a child to be born ! afflicted with weak kid- * neys. If,he child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment oi these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition cf the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.

ICopyrlKht, 1904, by C. It. Lewis ] A FTER one glance at Mr. Bow ser’s face Mrs. Bowser had L no doubt that be bad some thing on his mind to bother him, but whether lie was trying to tig- ure out a new dying machine or seek ing to iiml out how long it would take a bear running at twenty miles an hour to catch a boy running at eight een she couldn’t say. As he was quiet and good natured over it, she let him figure away, and it was half an hour after dinner before be finally said: "Look here, now, but I’d like to have a talk with you—a real sensible talk. I’ll agree not to get mad, and you must agree to say nothing sarcastic.” “I’ll talk, of course, and be glad to,” she replied. ‘‘What is It that’s bother ing you?” "Well, you know I belong to the Primrose Dramatic club. I haven’t attended but two or three meetings, and they are pushing me to show up. In fact, they want me to write a play to be produced two weeks hence.” "Well?” "1 want to oblige them, of course, and 1 want the honor and prestige of the play, but can I write one? That’s whit I want to talk to you about. Don’t jump on me with both feet, as you generally do, and cry ’fad,’ but give me a candid opinion.” "Mr. Bowser, bow many times In your life have you been to the tbea ter?” she asked as she laid aside her book. "As many as five or six.” "And did you pay the least attention to what is called the action of the play to the construction—to the situa tions to the stage craft?” "1—I don’t know that I did, but what has that to do with It? Some of the plays written by people who were never inside a theater have been the most successful.” "Whoever has told you that has told you nonsense.

"I SAIL* THERE WAS TO BE NO 8AKCA8M, ritoTESTEU MK. BOWBKK. ft lawyer by walking around a court house. I should say that you might as well try to cure n patient of typhoid fever as to expect to produce a play for the stage.” "But, you see, you start in prejudiced against me. I wrote a play last win ter, and we had a little scrap over it, and so you are naturally down on me." "Yes, you wrote a play. Do you re member where the scene was laid?” “In Bagdad.” "Yes, in Bagdad, and for no other reason than that you wanted to show us many Bagdad curtains as possible. Are you thinking of laying tills one in Arabia, so as to get as many dates into it as you can?” “But Bagdad curtains are not dates, Mrs. Bowser.” “No, and dates are not California prunes. Why not lay It In California? However, we won’t dispute about that What Is your plot?” ”A young man loves a young girl.” “That’s nothing startling.” "He Is poor, but proud.” "He generally Is.” "Her father is a rich old skinflint and would sell her to an old chap of the same Ilk for $50,000. The young man asks for her hand, and of course he gets the bounce. Right there, when be throws his hut down and Jumps on it and says he will defeat the father’s villainous machinations or perish, Is a chance for some of the strongest act ing on the American stage. It makes my hair curl to think of It. Adolphus stands like this, and gestures like this, and hurls his words”— It was the cat. He had been sitting up and listening to every word and wondering when Mr. Bowser would be gin to get red In the face and yell out. and ids attitude and gestures struck terror to his heart, and he uttered a howl and dived under the lounge. "By thunder, but that infernal old feline shan’t live another day!” he ex claimed as he located the Interruption. "Never mind the cat,” replied Mrs. Bowser, “and you needn’t go on with what Adolphus says either. There is no originality about that. All poor and proud young men get off the same ex presslons when told to go forth and hoe potatoes at 50 cents a day. How does your hero finally get the girl?” ’Tie bears her away at midnight aft er she has put a dose of chloral in her father’s gin and water.” "That’s very fair. But how much does she weigh ?” "How much? How much? Why, what odds does that make? Whoever heard of weighing the characters of a play?” "It makes just this difference, Mr. Bowser. If your heroine weighs H50 ; pounds and your hero only 140 the au dience won’t he prepared to see him throw her over his shoulder and trot across a grapevine bridge and up the side of a steep mountain. However, 1 you can have her take antifat and feed him upon corned beef at the same time and thus get the right proportions. He j bears her off at midnight, but where to?” "I said there was to be no sarcasm,” protested Mr. Bowser. “And there is none. I am just mak ing friendly comments. Does he bear her to a depot, a ferryboat or where?” “He bears her to the mountains, of course. I want mountains in for scenic effect. He bears her to a cave in the mountains. Her father discovers her flight next morning, and he raises a force of fifty men and starts in pur suit. He swears that he will have her back dead or alive and that he will kill Adolphus or put him to the torture. Right there again is a chance for a Booth or Barrett. Imagine the scene. The fifty men are drawn upon a bridge j over a gulf. The old man stands con fronting them. Suddenly he raises his right hand and”— The cat had come out, thinking the performance had closed, but when Mr. Bowser’s right hand went up lie real ized the peril of the situation and made a second scramble for life. "Never mind,” consolingly observed Mrs. Bowser as the hand fell. "But I will mind,” he savagely re torted. "Do you think I’m going to have one of the best plays of the cen tury knocked out by a cross eyed, dou ble jointed old spotted tomcat!” He spent five minutes freezing the eat’s soul with terror by words and glares and then gave it up, and Mrs. Bowser said: “Well, Adolphus gets the heroine to a cave, and they have a picked up breakfast of johnnycake and bologna sausage, and then what happens?” "Who said they had any such break fast?” "Then they couldn’t have had any at all. That isn’t so material to the play, however. The father and his fifty men follow on, of course?” "Of course. What are they there for?” “But you should have the villain guide them. You have a villain, haven’t you?” “Y-e-s—that is, I’m going to have. There’s no particular hurry about the villain butting in. He will naturally lead the crowd when he does come in.” "Well, the villain, the father and the fifty armed men set off up the moun tain. and then what happens?” “They are overwhelmed,” replied Mr. Bowser. "By a snowslide?” "Yes, by a snowslide started by Adolphus. He sees them coming. He sees a snowslide just ready to slide. He would spare the father in order to have a father-in-law, but be cannot. He swings bis bat. He calls out. He warns them to return before it is too late. He stands thus, and—and”— And Mr. Bowser looked around for the cut. The feline bad his head out from under the lounge, and the two stood glaring at each other till Mrs. Bowser had to laugh in their faces. “Thanks for the insult,” stifily re plied Mr. Bowser. “But It is no insult. Flease go on with the plot” “Not another word, madam. I was an ass to have told you as much as I did. It is evident to me that you are far more interested in an infernal old cat than in my play, and you and the cat can go to Ballyhack!” He thereupon walked down the hall and put on his hat aud overcoat and walked over to the drug store. He knew the druggist to be an old theater goer, and after a bit be queried of him: "What would you sny If I told you I was writing a four act comedy?” “I should say that you were the big gest jackass in town!” was the prompt reply. Mr. Bowser looked at him for a mo ment with sudden death in each eye and then passed out into the night. And the gas lamps fiured, the shadows danced as he wandered to and fro and felt that of all the living, breathing human beings on earth be was the only one who couldn’t write a play and get a snowslide started at the proper moment.

Constant motion jars the kidneys which are kept in place in the body by delicate attachments. This is the reason that travelers, trainmen, street car men, teamsters and all who drive very much, suffer from kidney dis ease in some form. Foley’s Kidney Cure strengthens the kidneys and cures all forms of kidney and bladder disease. Geo. E. Hausen, locomotive engineer, Lima, O., writes, "Constant vibration of the engine caused me a great deal of trouble with my kidneys, and I got no relief until I used Foley’s Kidney Cure.’ People who talk about God need to talk with Him a good deal. Foley’s Honey and Tar is peculiarly adapted for asthma, bronchitis and hoarseness. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Bhe—Let’s walk a little while.
