Nature designed the kidneys to do a
marvelous job. Their task is to keep the
flowing blood stream free of an excess of
toxic impurities. The act of living—Jt/«
itself—is constantly producing waste
matter the kidneys must remove from
the blood if good heath is to endure.
When the kidneys fail to function as
Nature intended, there is retention of
waste that may cause body-wide dis
tress. One may suffer nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffiness
under the eyes—feel tired, nervous, all
worn out.
Frequent, C3anty or burning passages
are sometimes further evidence of kid
ney or bladder disturbance.
The recognized and proper treatment
is a diuretic medicine to help the kidneys
get rid of excess poisonous body waste.

Kathleen Norris Says:
Wife May Be Cause of Tightwad Husband
Bell Syndicate—WNU Features.
My husband grudges me spending money, criticizes my buying of clothes,
and makes terrible scenes at the first of every month when the bills come in.
By KATHLEEN NORRIS
ATHRYN says she has a
tightwad husband. She
sends me seven scribbled
pages on heavily monogrammed
paper, to explain to me exactly
how penurious Geoff is. She
says he has Scotch ancestry and
she thinks that explains a good
deal.
“When we were married I
did my best on practically no
money at all,” writes Kath
ryn, “and Geoff often says
that those were among the
happiest days of his life. He
then gave me $10 a week for table
expenses and my own pocket mon
ey, and though I had not had much
experience in keeping house I got
on very well. By the time our
daughter, Patricia, now 11 years old,
was bom, things were easier, and
for the last five or six years we
have had a nice home, two good
servants, and my household ex
penses must run sometimes between
one hundred and fifty dollars a
month; I have a fine maid, and as
much extra assistance as I like; in
short, we are a typical American
small-town prosperous family. I be
long to the Woman’s Club and the
Music Society, and we are both ac
tive in Country Club amusements.
Also, may I say, Geoff is in con
tributory defense work and I am
vice president of the Red Cross.
“But my husband grudges me
spending money, criticizes my buy
ing of clothes, and makes terrible
scenes at the first of every month
when the bills come in. Pat is nat
urally at an expensive age, when
schooling, gym, dentist all cost
money; there is scarcely a week
when a child that age does not need
some new garment, or else it is a
tennis racquet, ski shoes, skates.
Rages Over BiUr.
“Geoff this morning raged about
the telephone bill, which was large
last month because my mother is
sick in a hospital in a town 400
miles away and I have frequently
called her, feeling that this is cheap
er by far than going to see her.
He also raved over the florist’s bill,
my shoe bill, and the grocer’s bill.
These last items were large because
in both cases I had attended sales,
feeling that we may be glad some
day to have a good deal of canned
stuff in the house and I will now
not need shoes for at least two
years.
“What especially angers me is
that I have discovered through a
friend, whose husband told her, that
Geoff is making extra money these
days, money of which he has said
nothing to me. When we were mar
ried we talked things over honestly,
and promised always to be frank
with each other, and in those days
we would pool our money together,
and make plans. Now he gives me
$25 a month pocket money, and by
the last week of the month I can
assure you that I am often em
barrassed before my friends for
taxifares, lunch money, tips, tele
grams, the purchase of bridge
prizes or the thousand other trifles
that women need. Some years ago,
and again last year, he threatened
to stop my credit at the shops if I
did not buy less, and rather than
risk that I don’t know what I
wouldn’t do!
“After this, you will perhaps be
surprised that I don’t leave him, and
think of us as a quarrelsome and
unhappy couple. But such is not
the case. I am proud of Geoff, I
never think of any life away from
him, Pat is devoted to her father.
COST OF LIVING
The cost of living isn’t going
down, you know, and it may go
up and up if you don’t think
twice before you spend your
money. The money you spent
today for that extra pair of shoes
("just in case,” you told your
self) may make the difference
between a balanced budget and
one of those tearful scenes in
which you protest that you didn’t
buy a single thing fou could have
gotten al\*ng without. Are you
sure? You may have needed
everything you bought, but that
doesn’t mean that you had to buy
it. And if you do keep within
your budget, why not put the ex
tra money into something really
worth while? Buy war bonds
and stamps!
and more than that, I have no
money, and Geoff and my brother
support my mother and have for
years. Ours is a very happy and
harmonious household, except for
this one subject, which unfortu
nately comes up about the first of
every month. Can you advise me
as to some way of persuading him
that a woman of 35 does not like to
be treated like an irresponsible
child!”
Irresponsible in Money Matters.
It all depends, my dear Kathryn,
upon the question as to whether the
woman of 35 really is or is not an
irresponsible child. Most husbands
in these days are proud to trust
their wives with their financial re
sponsibilities, and proud to boast of
their wives’ thriftiness, and good
wives rejoice in their ability to
keep well within the household
budget and still take good care of
the family.
Kathryn is evidently entirely un
acquainted with the budget. My
advice to her is to meet it. Let her
take a pencil and paper this very
night and write down, with Geoff’s
help, exactly what her expenditures
every month OUGHT to be. Rent
on an income of $5,000 a year ought
to be well under a hundred; food,
including milk and ice, another hun
dred, and so on. These figures could
be cut in half without leaving the
Browns homeless and starving.
Then let Geoff add his inescapable
expenses; taxes, insurance, valet
service, transportation, car mainte
nance, lunches, club dues. These
with telephone, light, gas, cooking
and furnace fuel, outdoor man once
a week and Annie’s wages will come
to a sum that will amaze Kathryn.
She will say in consternation, “but
then the doctor and the dentist and
flowers and symphony seats and
church and what you send Mother
all have to come out of less than a
hundred!”
Patriotic to Cut Down Expenses.
Poor, on five thousand a year!
But Kathryn still has a lot to learn.
Personally, I can’t blame a hus
band who refuses to trust a woman
who isn’t sure within $50 what her
grocery bill is, and who buys every
thing she needs or fancies, just when
she sees it, with no reference at all
to the state of the family bank
account.
It is a very serious patriotic duty
for every wife now to keep her man
and herself from worrying, by cut
ting down expenses, by living in
cheaper quarters, dispensing with
kitchen help, impressing her friends
rather with the money she doesn’t
spend than the money she does.
Make that first-of-the-month-bill-
crisis a time of pleasant surprises
rather than angry consternation.

“You haven’t looked so well for years,
old man!"
“Ah, ifs the exercise I get, tossing
about in bed at night worrying about
the business."
Curious Lad
Golfer—Dear, dear. I’m cer
tainly not playing the game I used
to play!
Caddie (disgustedly) — What
game was that?
The way some secretaries type
the boss’ letters is a triumph of
mind over mutter.
Caught Him
“MacPhersin’s a cheat, and I’m
not goin’ to i>lay golf with him
again.”
“How’s that?”
“Well, how could he have lost
his ball a yard from the green
when it was in my pocket?”
In Duplicate
Barber—Well, my little man,
how do you wish to have your
hair cut?
Little Man—I’d like it cut just
like my daddy’s, and please don’t
forget to leave that little round
hole on the top where his head
comes through.
Asking for Trouble
The door of the ladies’ hairdressing
shop opened and in came a meek-look-
ing little man.
One of the assistants approached him.
“What can 1 have the pleasure "
she cooed.
“Er—could you spare me a blonde
hair for my shoulder?” he stammered.
“I want to make my wife jealous."
Fell tor Her
“Fortune knocks at least once
at every man’s door.”
“That may be. But it was her
daughter, Miss Fortune, who
called on me.”
Orson JFelles Introduces
Many of Him to a Few
Orson Welles, of “Citizen Kane”
fame, once gave a small town lec
ture. There were but few listeners
and no chairman present. So he
up and introduced himself in the
following fashion:
“I am a director of plays,” he
said. “I am a producer of plays.
I am an actor on the legitimate
stage. I am a writer of motion
pictures. I am a producer of mo
tion pictures. I am a motion-
picture actor. I write, direct, and
act for the radio. I am a magi
cian. I also paint and sketch. I
am a publisher. I am a violinist
and a pianist. Isn’t it a shame
that there are so many of me and
so few of you?”
Our Telephones
In this country today, the 25
associated Bell telephone compa
nies serve 7,128 communities hav
ing 18,841,Q00 telephones, while
6,350 independent companies serve
12,072 communities having 4,609,-
000 telephones, reports Collier’s. In
addition, there are more than
60,000 connecting rural lines owned
by groups of farmers.
Uncle Pktiq,
We Offer the 23rd Realm
Our language, used by an artist,
can produce something as grand
as anything heard at a symphony-
concert. An example: Lincoln’s
Gettysburg address.
Well-bred people are a delight,
and often an object of envy.
We delight to indulgently smile
over the peculiarities of the
friends we love.
The only fun worth having is the histd
that is still funny when you get up the
next morning.
It’e So Exciting, Toot
Since millions enjoy headlines
more than any other part of the,
newspaper, why not try one that
is mostly headlines?
It is often easier for a woman to hold'
a strong man than her own tongue. |
Beauty is only skin deep, and
often the look of wisdom, also. |
Usually a narrow-minded man
doesn’t care if he is, and you can't
shame him in that. . j
