An Appeal for “The Bread Line.” Tho Bowery Mission "Bread Line," at which 1,000 men who are out in the streets for the night are given a breakfast of hot coffee and rolls every morning at one o’clock, Is one of the most pathetic sights in all the wide, wide world. Long before the hour of opening, these jioor, starving men stand in a single line that sometimes extends for blocks in length, waiting fop the coffee and rolls. During the last winter, this breakfast was given to a total of 144,000 homeless men am] hoys, and up to date nearly half a million of the homeless have had their weary tramp restfully Interrupt ed by this unique ministration. The first of these breakfasts is given on Thanksgiving morning, and the last on the following Easter morning. Al together the Mission supplied, this year, over 233,000 meals and 10.072 lodgings t 0 homeless men and boys. It is for this grand, philanthropic work that we ask your kind and practical co-operation. The home less. friendless, disheartened and des pairing men and hoys of the Bowery are not native New Yorkers, but men and boys who, until within a year, lived happily at the old homestead with father and mother, and perhaps wife. They are stranded here, and in despair appeal to the Old Bowery Mission, which, for over thirty years, has been to the unfortunate, as the rescue cities of old, a haven of en couragement, rest and protection. Shall we turn them away? It rests with the good people of this country to decide this question, and may God graciously help you to decide it aright. John C.

Q Women as Weii as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble pn*ys upon the mindi dit sourages ana lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are cut of order or diseased.

If the 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 of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis- ;rab!e with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy.
