DON'T NEGLECT YOUR KIDNEYS. 3 Kn kimi 1 TnAlIDI :ARRH0FKlP8jgji 100 EA ks LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN Eskimo Tested Efficacy of Telephone Scheme, and Realized He Had Deen Deceived. An Interesting Btory Is told regard lnp the- efforta of an Eskimo to con struct a telephones lino. Too Eskimo came Into possession of a plccoof wlro of considerable length and never hav ing seen wlro holoro ho asked Profes sor McMillan of tho Poary north pole expedition what it was and what It was for. He was told that tho white man strung It on poles stuck In tho ground and a voice talking to an In strument at ono end could bo heard at tho other end. After some search tho next morning tho Eskimo was found to bo engaged In telophono construc tion work of his own. Ho stuck Borao rtlcko In tho ground and hung his wlro on them. Ho held ono end of tho wlro to his mouth and talked to It at the top of his volco. Then he ran as fast as ho could to tho other end and hold tho wire to his ear with tho expectation of hearing bis own words repeated. When he failed to hear any sounds the expression on his fnco revealed his opinion of his whlto friend. To tho Childish Mind. Dorothy Ullman of E. Eighty-fourth street, Is a vory literal young person. To her mother's definition of tho All Seeing Eyo sho roturned a question as to tho bIzo of tho eyo. "Can God seo everything?" she con tinued. "Yes, dear. Ho can seo everything, at all times." That afternoon Dorothy escorted her mother down town. Before an op tician's display sho stopped. Then, "Mother," sho asked, pointing to tho elg winking oyo in tho window: "Is Bod's eyo as big as this?" Cleveland, Leader. Difficult to Answer. Explaining tho happenings of tho jlxth day of tho creation, Miss Fran ces Hartz read to her Sabbath school class: "And tho Lord God formed man out of the dust of tho ground." "Well," spoke up ono kid, "that's nothln' new. Did ho put him In tho Bun to dry, tho way wo do our mud pies?" Miss Hartz discreetly slurred tho answer and proceeded with her les son.

Great coro should bo taken at tho critical poriod when tho young girl Is Just merging Into womanhood that tho diet shall contain that which is up building and nothing harmful. At that ago tho atructuro is being formed and if formed of a healthy, sturdy character, health and happiness will follow; on tho othor hand un healthy colls may bo built In and a sick condition slowly superveno which, If not checked, may ripen into a chronlo condition and cause life-long suffering. A young lady Bays: "Coffeo began to have such an effect on my stomach a few years ago thit I finally quit using it. It brought on headaches, pains In my muscles, and nervousness. 'I tried to uso tea In its stoad, but found its effects oven worse than thoso I suffered from coffeo. Then 'for a long time I drank milk at my meals, but at last it palled on me. A friend came to tho rescuo with the- suggestion that I try Postura. "I did bo, only to find at first, that I didn't fancy It, Dut I had heard of so many persons who had been benefited by Its ueo that I persevered, and when I had it mado right according to dl rectlone on tho package I found It grateful In flavour and soothing and strengthening to my stomach. I can flnd no words to express my feeling of what I owe to Postuml "In every respect it has workod a wonderful Improvement the head aches, nervousness, tho pains in my 'Bido and (back, all tho distressing symptoms yielded to tho magic power of Possum. My brain seems also to share in tho bottormont of ray phys ical condition; it seems keener, raoro alert and brighter. I am, in Bhort, In better health now than for a long whllo before, and I am suro I owo it to tho uso of your Postum." Name given by Postum Company, Battle Creek, Mich. "There's a reason."

Owner Carries Little Porker In Her Arms and Successfully Deceives Conductors Stifled Squeal Betrays Secret. Now York. If it hadn't been for a stifled squeal nnd a very plgllko wrlg glo tho taxlcab driver would novor have known that ono of his fares wasn't human. In fact, the chauffeur rubbed his oyes several times before it llnally dawned on him that Mrs. Mario Watson's traveling companion was a pig Instead of a baby. Tho chauffeur wasn't to blarao for being deceived, for several conductors had mado tho samo mistake. They don't know oven now that the bundlo MrB. Watson carried bo tenderly In her arms was not a baby at all, in Bplto of its baby cap and fluffy little coat and the milk bottlo which Mrs. Watson produced every now and then on her ride from Newark. Mrs. Watson, as almost every vaude ville performer knows, is tho wife of Sam Wntson, who has a barnyard cir cus. Ono of tho star performers was a wee pig, but it got so fat that Mrs. Watson decided that another pig would havo to Join tho show, ono that Bho could hold In her arms without straining her muscles. After some correspondence sho found what sho wanted In tho pig lino on a farm Just outside of Newark. The pig's owner agreed to sell freo on board at Newark, but not Manhat tan. Mrs. Watson nnd her husband wont into conference to decide how to get tho pig here. "Leave it to me," said Mrs. Wntson. "I'll Just bring tho pig over on tho train." Her husband suggested that pigs were not allowed on passenger trains. But Mrs. Watson knew what sho was talking about. "Leave It to me," she repeated, and Mr. Wntson did so. Mrs. Watson mado tho trip to New ark tho other day and mot tho farm er and his pig. Mrs. Wntson whis pered a few words of pig langungo in tho little fellow's ear and proceeded to dresB him up In baby attire, The cap was a cute affair of muslin nnd baby chiffon, with a near-blue ribbon at tho tip. Tho baby coat was also blue, as was a blanket which Mrs. Wntson had provided. When tho dressing was finished tho farmer de parted chuckling over tho transforma tion. With tho pig in her arms Mrs. Watson proceeded to tho Newark sta tion of tho Pennsylvania railroad and boarded a train for Jersey City. Tho pig wasn't making n sound. Perhaps It was because of thoso fow whispered words or pig language of which Mrs. Watson says she has a smattering. Perhaps it was n bottlo of milk which tho pig tippled now and then. Anyhow no one on tho train Imagined that It was anything olso than n very quiet and well-behaved baby that Mrs. Wat son .was carrying in her nrms. At JorBey City Mrs. Watson nnd her chargo proceeded to tho Hudson Tun nel station. Whllo waiting for a tun nel train an elderly man suggested to Mrs. Watson that sho had bettor Btand well back from tho edge of tho plat form. "You know these drafts aro very bad for babies," Bald tho elderly gen tleman. Mrs. Watson smiled and thanked tho solicitous old man. Nevor onco during the trip to Manhattan did tho pig betray himself. At Thirty-third street Mrs. Wntson hailed n taxlcab, and In this tho Inst lap of tho Journey was mado. At tho theater Mrs, Watson alighted and fOrro aiu TWo -ia? JPsisj&rfOJSJQj paid her fnro. Tho movement of get ting Into her purse muBt havo dis turbed tho pig, for thero was a sudden squeal and n vory vigorous wrlgglo. Tho baby cap slipped back, displaying a very plgllko face. It was then that the chauffeur began rubbing his oyes and pinching himself. In n fow days tho little pig will take tho place of tho elderly porker in tho barnyard sceno. Ho is now un dertaking tho necessary preliminary training. . CARING FOR "ONLY" CHILD Vienna Professor Finds Only Thirteen Out of Ono Hundred Are Fully Normal. Vienna. After n study of tho prob lem of tho "only child" extending over several years, Prof. J. Frlodjung of tho Society of Internal Medicine nnd Pedi ntrics has mado public tho result of his observations. Ho had under ex amination 100 "only" children, of whom 445 wero boys and B5 girls. They range in ago from two to ton yenrs. Each had boon raised in n family whoro thero wero no othor children, nnd therefore had been subjected to tho kind of domestic isolation that ac companies thoso conditions. Of tho 100 children 18 wore sovoroly neuropathic nnd C9 manifested leso marked symptoms of nervous instabil ity. Only 13 of tho youngsters, accord ing to Dr. Fricdjung, wore fully nor mal. Ho sot off theso observations against nnother set of studies made among families consisting of sevornl offspring. Of those only 31 showed neuropathic BymptoniB. Fear was tho strongest symptom In 75 of tho 87 neuropathic "only chil dren." They wero hysterical In their SEE SAHARA Doctor Slegert Hopes to Prove That "King Solomon's Mines" Are Not Entirely Legendary. Berlin. Doctor Slegert is actively engaged In preliminary preparations to cross tho great desert of Sahara In a dlrlglblo balloon. Prominent geog raphers and meteorologists nro help ing him In hla scientific calculations and his cholco of an airship. Count do la Vnulx, tho famous French aeronaut, had tho samo purposo a few years ago, but gavp It up because airships had not sufficient protection ngalnBt the sun's rayB. Doctor Slegert confidently expects to make tho trip ho has laid out about 950 miles In 34 hours. His acrlnl vessel's engineH will give tho craft a speed of 18 miles an hour; besides, Doctor Slegert Is counting on 12 miles an hour more by tho wln.l. To tho unimaginative the Sahara Is only nn Illimitable, and wnsto, hut from It havo come legends of burled cities of Incalculable nntiqulty and talos of Immense hidden hordes, Doctor Slcgort wishes to clear up tho mystery surrounding tho oxpcdltion of Browne, tho English explorer of n hundred years ago, nnd to Investigate tho romnntio story of Rholfs, who found traces of a great road running out In tho desert until tho sand ob literated them. What lies beyond thnt lost track? Whither did that great highway lead, nnd)f what char acter woro tho peoplo who construct ed It? Theso questions, which have been put so often, nro supposed to have in spired tho plot pi Rider Haggard's romance, "King Solomon's Mines;" at any rnto, thoy appear to Doctor Slegert t6 be well worth nnsworlng. Tho headquarters of this expedition CARRY WOMEN nature. Forty-ulno had restless sloop and 8 wero subject to moro marked symptoms. Unusunl mental ability and way wardness, tho professor reports, seem to go hnnd in hand In tho caso of chil dren, Of tho neurasthenics, 32 showed malnutrition to a romnrkablo degreo. The "only" child, says Fricdjung, gets Its morbid manifestations from tho excess of tendor caro lavished up on it. Its pnrcnts spoil it, they take nway Its sentiments of self-reliance and in this way thoy unconsciously encourago tho child novcr to develop unduly. A certain amount of knock ing about and hardships and necessity for self-relinnco is Imperatively de manded, this Investigator says, othor wlso a child will grow into n namby pamby, n nervous molly-coddlo. On this account, as well as becauso of tho mcnaco to tho race through tho limitation of population to "only" chlldron, Fricdjung urges thnt every family should possess sovoral chlldron. Airships to Find Poles. Now York. Rear Admiral Robert E. Poary bollovos tho Important work of polar exploration of tho future will bo dono by means of tho aeroplane. At tho annual dinner of tho Aeronaut ical soolety ho said: "In my opinion tho aviator Is des tined to conquer tho two romnlning unknown areas of tho globo, tho re gions surrounding tho north and south poles. "Tho balloon will not servo tho pur pose tho work of exploration In the future will bo dono by aeroplane." Taboo Girl Shoe Shiner. Kansas City, Mo. Contending that shoo shining Is a work morally unfit for women, tho city officials havo re fused to grant n llconso to a shoo shin ing parlor which ndvcrtlscs on a sign that "pretty girls will shlno your shoes."
