'Slowed Up" at Middle Age. The hard working kidneys seem to require aid sooner than other internal organs. At middle age many men and women fesl twings of rheumatism, have swollen or aching joints and are distressed with sleep disturbing blad der ailments. Foley Kidney Pills are safe, prompt and can be depended on to give relief. Sold everywhere. From Wednesday's Dally. Last Sunday evening at the Chris tian church Homer McKay spoke to a large crowd on his trip and observations of the condition in the canal zone, where he and Mrs. McKay visited during the past winter. Leav ing New York one evening they found themselves ju:-t off Cape Hatteras when morning broke in a very rough sea. The women folks were very sick ami had to stay in t heir staterooms, while Mr. McKay was unaffected by the storm and rough sea. At the end of six days they arrived at Ci istobol, the end of their journey by boat. Speaking of the city of Panama, Mr. McKay said that it is a city of 110,000 population, and occupies about one-fourth of the territory which Plattsmouth dues. The streets are v.'i y narrow, and while they have a street car service, the cars are com pelled to run -so close to the houses that one riding in them ca-n smell the breath of the ones in the house, and which he remarked was far from like otter of roses. The rooms, while some of the build ings were th'-ee stories in height, were about eight feet square, and in many cases housed a.; many as (en persons. Every business house from the millinery store to the implement house, carried a stock of bottled whisky. Whether kept for snake bites or not he did not say. In Panama was the end of the whi.sky business, for he said that no one was allowed to s ll whisky or any thing else on the canal zone proper, fcr tho government done that them selves. He gave a detailed account of the trip which they made through the canal, which was given to the readers of this paper some time since. The speaker gave a very vivid de scription of the dances which were in dulged in by the blacks and the whites in the zone. In the ones participated in by the blacks, while both the gen-t!-men and ladies dance! together, Indi .criniinaU-Jy they never came in contact with each other, not even to touching one another, being free from the hugging effect which charac terized tho dances of the whites. No "bunny hugs" or "grizzly bears' in theirs. But when the whites shook the light fantastic toe it was differ ent they did not fail to practice all the late variations. Speaking of the freight charges, he said that some of the larger vessels cost ?1 7,000 to get through the canal, but even at that would be a great saving on making the trip around Sonth America. The incentive of hard work was not noticeable, on account of the fact th'nt all the necessities of the people were furni.shed by nature, as bread fruit grew wild, and that clothing was often dispensed with, and a great cut in the cost of high living. There were acres of tools, cars, en gines and material which had been used on the construction of the canal laying out in the open rotting and rusting until in a short time it would be of no value, but could not be sold. The address of Mr. McKay was one of great interest. and given in a very fascinating manner by the speaker rnd was highly appreciated by the audience.

GUBE YOUR RHEUMATISM THROU OSTEOPATHY DUR ING THE DAMP WEATHER At the present, cold, damp weather is ve:y inuueive to rheumatism, bad colds, etc. I wi.-h to remind the read crs of the Journal that Osteopathy is the best treatment known, because it gets at the cause of the trouble. There's a reason for all the aches and pains of rheumatism and Osteopathy is the only system of healing which has found it and gotten rid of it There is no known drug which will curt; it. The he.-;t medical doctors rec ommend massage, Turkish baths, etc., as the best treatment. Lodium salicylate is recommended to relieve the pains (Dr. Stockman, in "Index to Medical Treatment," 1913 edition), but not as a curative agent Dr. McLaughlin. M. I)., in "Abrige- rnent of Medicine," says: "There is no curative treatment." Now, since the drug doctors have practically all admitted their failure to successfully treat rheumatism, why not try a method which has been proven effective? OSTEOPATHY CAN CURE IT. It has proven successful in its treat ment for more than forty years. Isn't that ample proof? Why not give it atrial? Stop at my office and talk it over or call up over the 'pohne.
