Things You Can Do -ust as Well as a Learned Physicmn. Often it is needless to consult a doctor. At such times you can treat yourself just as well as the most learned physi- cian. When a 1 an or woman is suffer- ing from Kidney isease,the doctor asks: ‘1 Do you desire to urinate ofteni and are night to make water? Do you have pains in the small of the back? Does your urine stain linen? Is there a scald- ing pain in passing water, and is it difli cult to hold the urine back? ” answer is “Yes" to any of these ques- tions, your Kidneys are diseased and vdecay has set in. Ask yourself these questions. and answer them. Then is another thing you can do. PUt some of your urine in a glass tumbler or bottle, and let it stand 24 hours. there IS a sediment or powder-like sub- stance at the bottom, or a cloudy appearance there IS grave danger. Your Kidneys are surely affected Sufferers with any of the above symptoms ought to be glad to know that Dr. David Ken- nedy's Favorite Remedy will surely relieve and cure even the most distress- ing cases. No living physician can pre- sc11be a medicine for Kidney, Bladder Liver and Blood that equals Favorite Remedy—not one. Nearly all who drink beer or whiskey have diseased Kidneys, but Favorite Remedy removes the bad effects, and it also does away with the sandy matter so that the urine may pass freely from the bladder.

A Handy Wardrobe. For the girl whose city bedroom boasts no wardrobe, and only a. single closet to hold her every-day garments, it is necessary to utilize any recess there is. To do this, get a. board the . width of the recess and as high 93 can be conveniently reached. Have screw hooks placed upon it for ,the waists. Against the wall stretch a length of cretonne or muslin; let this hang down. just twice the length of the recess. Under the headboard have a. six-inch board with screw hooks on. it for the skirts; then, on the very front edge of the headboard, have very small hooks screwed in, and correspondingly tin; rings on the extreme edge of the long piece of cretonne. When the, skirts and bodices are hung on their "respec- tive pegs, turn up this cretonne and catch- the rings into then-hooks, thus, as it were, enclosing the dresses in a loose bag.
